, opposed to an income tax and any
increase in the real estate tax, and
favors q sales tax.
In his verbal statement, Cottrell
said the business privilege tax was
conceived overnight, and is SO
highly technical that it could not
be put into operation in less than
so or 80 days. He also stated that
it would put some organizations
out Of business.
Attention was called to the low
contribution made by the Federal
Government during Cottrell'S tes-
timony. He testified that it now
amounted to approximately 10 per
cent.
Senator Royal C. Copeland Cd
Of New York, remarked that this
meant the Federal Government
has reneged on its portion Of the
expenses, since the law calls for
q 40 per cent contribution.
Senator Arthur Capper (R.) Of
Kansas, who is leading a fight for
the income tax, drew from Senator
William H. King CD Of Utah,
chairman, a declaration that he
had always been for an income tax,
hadn't been able to get any place
with 1t in IS years, and did not
think the House would accept a
bill with this provision in it.
Amendment Hit
During Representative Ken
nedy's explanation Of the orig
inal bill, he called attention to
the fact that on the floor of the
House the inheritance and estate
tax provision had been amended.
He said:

do not believe anyone else

Senate committee approve the bill
as it came from his committee.
This program would include the
provision to allow the city to Dor
row money from the Federal Gov

the chain-store tax written into

AS a complement to this plan, or
a partial substitute, Representative
Jack Nichols Cd, Of Oklahoma,
who accompanied Representative
Kennedy as a delegate from the
