TAX CONFEREES
SET To PATCH
DIFFERENCES
Session Today Expected to
Agree on Oil Imports;
Couzens Dispute Due
Bv International News Service

bY International news service
A complete compromise of all
differences between House and
Senate on the Administration S
new tax bill will be reached by TO
morrow afternoon, Senator Pal
Harrison CD of Mississippi, pre-
dicted today after the first meet
ing of the conferees.
Senator Harrison said the con
fereeS had made considerable
progress" but had not discussed
the all controversial items. The
first session was devoted to Settl
ing differences between House and
Senate in administrative features
of the bill.
There was a slight dispute over
the amount of tax on processing
of imported vegetable oils, which
both branches voted despite a per-
sonal appeal from President
Roosevelt for exemption of Phil
ippine imports.
Agree on Surtax
Both House and Senate agreed
to make the normal income tax
rate per cent, but the Senate
raised the earned income limit,
on which a 10 per cent credit may
be taken, from $4,000 to $4,000.
To offset this loss of revenue,
the Senate increased the lowest
bracket of surtaxes from 4 to S
per cent. Both branches agreed
on a maximum Surtax OF So per
cent to take effect on income in
excess of $1,000,000.
There may be a battle over the
Couzens super income tax adopted
by the Senate. This was a special
tax for one year, which would
compel the taxpayer to add 10
per cent to his total tax computed
under the new rates. It would
yield SIS millions. House leaders
opposed it.
Stock Levy Loses
The capital stock tax, now on
the statute books, was retained for
another year by the Senate but
the House allowed it to expire.
Prompt agreement was expected
on the Senate's action in increas-
ing the super schedule of estate
and gift taxes. After reducing the
exemption from $50,000 to $4,000,
it increased the rates in the higher
brackets to a new maximum of 60
percent on estates in excess of
$1O,000,0O0.

Sists of a note sent to Japan

Lower Rental for School
Denied City Orchestra
Board Rejects Request of
Irvington Group for
Annual Concert.

A discordant note was sounded in
the school board meeting last night
when members of the Irvington
Civic orchestra protested against
paying $40 ITO rent school hall.
Arnold Davis, spokesman for the
group, explained that although the
orchestra gave its concerts free last
year, it wishes to charge Is cents
in it's 1884 program and divide the
profits with churches in the COM
munity.
Because of the split in the pro-
ceeds, Mr.. Davis argued, the Scnool
board should charge only S. for the
use of school No. 81, Washington
street and Ritter avenue, instead
of the customary $40. This was all
the orchestra could afford he said,
Merle Sidener, board member, adj
vised Mr.. Davis to pay expenses
first and divide what is left. The
orchestra leader countered with the
statement that the orchestra played
for the pleasure of presenting good
music and to please music lovers.
Its more pleasure for the mu-
sicions than it is for any one else
isn't it?" retorted Samuel E. Garri-
son, another board member.
The school board refused to
change the rule that $40 shall be
charged for rental when those rent
ing a school, charge admission to the
public.
Investigation of the sanitary con-
ditionS of School 10 was promised to
a delegation of eleven Negroes who
filed protests.
