Smiling broadly, Chairman Harri-
son said the committee had made
very good progress" and he expected
it to be able to report out bill early
next week.
Many Disputes.
So greatly y odds was the commit
tee during today's session that some
members at one time threatended to
leave the committee chamber.
One voted divided the members IL
to 8.
Harrison said the compromise cor
poration tax plan would raise some
where over S500,000, 900" and sad the
Treasury had been asked to submit
exact estimates as to the yield.
The indication was it would fall
considerably short of the 1923 100000
of permanent revenue sought by Pres
ident Roosevelt to meet the cost Of
the new farm program and prepay
ment of the bonus. Harrison had no
definite reply when he was asked
where the committee would get the
remainder of the money.
Agree on Penalty.
The committee. he said. also agreed
to strengthen section of existing law
providing for penalty taxes on corpora
lions which build up unreasonable
SURPRISES"
Also approved was an amendment
by Senator Lonergan, Democrat. of
Connecticut, to permit insurance to be
taken out, payable to the Government,
for meeting estate taxes The amount
of the policy would not be counted in
the estate unless it was greater than
the estate tax
Reverting to the new corportion tax
plan, Harrison said it was not as far
reaching as the bill passed by the
House, but would compel the distribu-
ton of corporate SURPRISES and, there
fore. would carry out suggestions Of
the President"
Tax on Dividends.
The plan would make dividends sub
ject to the present normal income tax
of per cent, but the committee re-
jected suggestions for boosting the lat
ter to per cent.
The compromise. Harrison said, was
approved by an 18-to-l vote.
He told reporters the committee
"had a great deal of controversy at
first" during the morning session, in
volving good deal of cross fire"
New Plan Discussed.
One particular plan, which has not
attracted much attention hitherto, re-
ceived particular notice today.
This would retain the principle of
the present fat tax on net income
(now ranging between 1912 and Is
per cent? and at the same time seek
to induce dividend distributions in
line with administration officials sug-
geSted policy.
1t would impose fiat tax OF IS per
cent on all net income of corpora
| ton. The corporation would. however.
be permitted to deduct from its tax
able income an amount equal to 40
per cent of the amount of such income
| paid out as dividends.
Expressed another way. the plan
would put fiat IS per cent tax
on net income. with a surtax added.
The surtax would range up to 10
per cent. depending on how much
of the income was distributed to
stockholders. If none was dis
tributed. the surtax would be 10 per
cent; if all was distributed, there
would be no surtax.
The plan also would repeal the
capital stock and excess profits taxes
and the present exemption of divi-
dends from the normal 4 per cent
income tax. Treasury experts esti-
mated the program would raise S64l,-
100000 over and above the present
levies.

VIEWS Of MARGIN
PLAN FAVORABLE
Wall Street Clerks Hail
SimpIification of Old Com
pIicated System.
BY the Associa ted Press.


NEW YORK, March 26.-Wall
Streets brokerage experts inclined to
a mildly favorable reaction to the new
margin requirements announced today
by the Federal Reserve Board.
AS a factor in share prices, it was
generally believed, the new rules would
probably carry little weight. The pre-
ponderance IN recent months of buy
ing for cash or on margin more con-
servative than that provided in the
law assured this, most commentators
agreed.
At the same time. head margin
clerks and their helpers, as well as
those charged with the job of keeping
brokers' operating expenses in hand,
applauded the simplification assured
by the changed arrangements for
brokers and dealers.
The old dual system of determining
margin requirements either on the
basis of SIS per cent Of market value
or 100 per cent of the low since July
/, 1888, had caused much confusion
to customers and additional work on
the part of margin clerks
1t was estimated that about rs per
cent of the stock actively traded on
the stock exchange could still be car
ried for the same margin as at pres
ent
More margin would be necessary to
carry commitments in those stocks,
about Is per cent of active issues,
which were in the so-called anti
pyramiding zone," brokers said
Stocks in this class we're those SELL
