The Daughters Of the American Revo-

Danger i'm Hurry.

Senator Byrd's letter to Secretary
Morgenthau, showing that under the
tax bill as it passed the House eleven
of the country's large and well-known
corporations would have paid no taxes
on their 1884 earnings, further compli-
Gates consideration Of a revenue measure
that has failed to muster any support
outside the small group of administra-
ton officials sponsoring application Of
the new principle involved.
To the objections already lodged
against the bill, based on the fear that
it would handicap legitimate business
expansion; that it would penalize the
sound practice of putting aside for q
rainy day; that it would discard DEM
onstrated source Of revenue for theory
as yet untried in this country; that the
bill fails to meet the revenue demands
for which it was framed, Senator Byrd
adds an illustration of his contention
that it will permit certain large cor
porations to escape the taxation now
imposed, giving them a "stranglehold
over their present smaller competitors"
Senator Byrd is one of group Of
Senators who in general favored the
principles of the tax bill as it passed
the House, but whose views have been
shaken by the preponderant evidence in
opposition, voiced by the many witnesses
who appeared before the committee IN
the past ten days. 1t now seems GER
tain that the House bill is to be dras-
tically revised and may come out of the
Finance Committee lacking the proposed
levy on undistributed earnings. Sem
ator Couzens is already digging around
in the income tax rates to see what can
be found there, possibly along the line
of Senator La Follette's proposals. Sen
ator King and Senator Connolly are
looking into the possibilities of other
proposals.
If it is not q physical impossibility
to frame and to enact a tax bill in time
to realize hopes for an early adjourn
ment of Congress, the effort to enact q
wise tax bill by June will be highly
dangerous. Congressional leaders would
be wise in abandoning either the tax bill
or the hope for early adjournment. The
House tax bill, rushed through with a
minimum number of members particle
al l..
nation of business and producing strong
criticism even from within the ranks of
the administration, should be strapped.
The real responsibility for a revenue
measure falls on the Senate. More
harm than good will result should the
Senate follow the example of the House
in blindly rushing through bill. merely
to get it out of the way for adjournment.
