TAX BILL
Committee Majority
Bent on Complete
Revision

A fast-spreadtng revolt among
Democratic members Of the Sen.
ate Finance Committee developed
today for a complete revision Of
President Roosevelt's S03-million-
dollar tax bill.
Nine committee Democrats were
reported ready to offer q new tax
program based upon the existing
Federal tax structure as a Substi.
tute for the House bill. Their
chief objection was to the pro-
poSal to impose taxes on the un.
distributed income of corporations
in order to force payment Of divi-
dends.
A parade of business executives
passed before the committee in
the last two weeks protesting this
provision, charging the bill in its
present form would destroy small
corporations. promote monopoly,
prolong the depression, wipe out
investments and retard recovery.
With five Republican members
also opposed to the presidential
plan, the rebelling Democrats will
command majority on the COM
mittee. This indicated the bill
would be revised.

New Farm Loan
Bank System
Proposed

A national banking system for
agriculture was proposed today as
q substitute for the Frazier-Lemke
5000 million dollar farm initiation
measure as the House made ready
for q test on the bill Monday.
The substitute was to be offered
by Chairman Jones CD Of Texas,
of the Agriculture Committee, II
Administration leaders lose their
fight to bury the Frazier-Lemke
bill in the first vote.
The Jones substitute provides
for refinancing farm mortgages
UP to 5000 at 2 per cent interest,
and includes creation Of a new
system.
The measure transfers about
800 million dollars in Treasury
gold to an agricultural bank note
committee, authorizes issuance OF
1000 million dollars of currency
and uses the machinery Of the
intermediate Credit and Farm
Loan banks to refinance farm
mortgages. Jones said:
'If the House votes to con-
slider the. Fraxier-Lemke bill, 1
expect to offer my measure as
substitute"
Administration leaders, however
were making q drive to defeat the
Frazier -Lemke bill.
