He agreed. however. that Beach had
told him of his plans for destroying
records and he agreed.
Wasser said he assumed RESPONSE
bility for the order and felt it was
perfectly all right" in view of their

Beach previously testified he
ordered the destruction of Wheeler
Rayburn correspondence in Is States

Quizzed on Papers.
During Estes testimony, Chairman
Black asked if there was any con-
nection between Estes papers and the
magazine issued by Peter Molyneaux
Of the Texas weekly.
my papers are news mediums and
advertising mediums" Estes replied.
There is no connection. That's what
made me mad"
Senator, will you let me ask you a
question: Estes then said to Black.
Before the chairman could answer.
Estes added, You've thrown mud on
me-"
Black bristled and retorted:
This committee is not going to
have anything ike that. We repre-
sent the Senate and understood you
wanted to testify about whether you
received pay for making a speech in
Texas"
Black again brought a denial from
the publisher and started tc excuse
him.
Then can't ask you a question
and can't put this statement in the
record? All right, Senator. I thank
you; I'm q better sport than you
are"
Prepared Statement Refused.
Estes left the room after less than
Is minutes on the stand.
The committee would not permit
Burroughs to put into the record a
prepared statement on A. G. Els &C
tivities against the Wheeler Rayburn
bill, but he distributed it to news
paper men.
The statement said $4,000 employees
OF the system had been engaged in the
campaign against the bill. 1t denied
that the records had been destroyed
because they contained ''incriminat-
ing" matter.
There Is every evidence" the state
ment said, that overemphasis has
been given to the importance Of a rel
atively few apparently unauthorized
kilograms in opposition tn the legisla-
ton which were sent by oyerzealous
utility employees"
The committee then adjourned until
tomorrow morning

per cent on all net corporation in
come under $4,000 and 1414 per cent
on all over that amount. Administra-
ton chiefs squeezed that into the bill
by the narrow margin Of l0-to-8
vote by Democrats
Republicans thought they might get
enough Democratic votes to knock out
that tax, but majority members con-
tended most of the Democrats would
stand fast since 1t was advocated by
the President.
The tentative schedule, in the gen.
orally renewed drive for early adjourn
ment. called for the House Committee
to give its final approval to the tax
bill by tomorrow night so 1t could be
brought up on the floor Thursday at
the latest. Meanwhile. Chairman
Harrison fixed tomorrow for the Sen
ate Finance Committees first hearings
on the tax bill
Only brief hearings were planned,
and other Democratic chiefs-among
them Vice President Garner-Eere
trying to get Democratic agreement
to rush the bill through the Senate
by voting down all amendments
offered.
Provisions in Bill.
The bill in brief, provides:
New inheritance taxes. in addition
to those already imposed on estates,
ranging from per cent on the portion
of an inheritance between $4,000
$4,000 to rs per cent on all over
$4,000. 900;
Increases in the surtax rates on in
comes over $4,000.
New gift taxes on the recipient OF
a gift, in addition to those already
paid by the giver. running from 4
per cent on the first $4,000 in ex-
cess of $4,000 to 81 per cent on all
over $l0.0o0,00o.
New levies Of 1914 per cent on cor
poration income up to $4,000 a year
and of lax per cent on all net
income over that amount.
Excess profits levies ranging from
s per cent on profit Of to II per
cent to 20 per cent Of profits over
rs per cent. Actuaries figured that
huge fortunes under the new in
heritance rates would be broken UP
within two generations unless they
were built up again in the interim
between deaths.
A $10.000,000 estate. for example.
would, under existing law, be subject
to a $4,387,600 estate tax, leaving
$5,6l2, 400. If the balance went to
one heir it would be subject, under
the proposed bill, to an additional
$3,089,600 inheritance tax, leaving
only $2,522,s00 out of the original
$4,000, 900.
If the money were left to an
eleemosynary, charitable, hospital, ed
ucational or similar organization not
operated for profit. however, neither
tax would apply.

ing that the Washington and London

pire until December 81, 1896, said
