|F | NAL ACTION
Due TODAY ON
TAX REVISION
House to 0. X. Report;
President to Sign
BY WILLIAM s. NEAL

(I.N.S). Congress completes
action today on the 1900, ,OO0, ,00C
corporation tax revision bill, which
virtually scraps the two-year-olt
revolutionary undistributed profits
tax.
Final action was slated in the
House on approval Of the Senate
House conference report. The meas.
ure then will go to President
Roosevelt, whose approval is re
garded as certain.
RECOVERY AID
Framed as the result Of wide
spread protests against both the
profits and capital gains taxes, the
measure was designed by the Con-
gressional tax committees to in
spire business confidence and thus
aid recovery.
In reducing the maximum un-
distributed profits tax, Congress
reverses its action Of 1886. The
undistributed profits tax then
voted, admittedly revolutionary in
nature, was designed to place cor
porations on an equal tax footing
with partnerships and individuals.
President Roosevelt saved the
principle Of the tax by interven-
ing in the dispute between Senate
and House conference committees.
AS it goes to the President the tax
bill provides:
Corporations earning SOS, 900 or
less year pay a flat income tax
Of IL per cent on first $1,000 of
earnings; IA per cent on next
SIS, 900; 16 per cent on next
$5, 200.
HIGHER LEVELS
Corporations earning above
$25 900: Tax is 10 per cent, which
may be decreased in ratio with
distribution of earnings to mini
mum Of 16h per cent. Maximum
undiStributed profits tax under
the present law is 27 per cent.
Capital gains: Regular income
tax rates apply on gains realized
within 18 months; 18 to "a
months, tax is 20 per cent; there
after, Is per cent. Taxpayer can
apply regular income rates on
diminishing total at his option.
The measure also provides
cushions" for corporations in
debt, abolishes many nuisance"
taxes, boots the tax on liquor
from 81 to $2.2S a gallon, fosters
liquidation Of personal holding
companies. aids utilities in re-
organizing under Securities and
Exchange Commission control and
strengthens the law against hoard
Ing Of profits.

Year after year the leader ot
this dauntless little band, Miss
Fay Bentley, judge of the Juvenile
Court, has appealed to the District
Commissioners, the Bureau of the
Budget and to Congress for ade
quate funds to carry on the work
of the court.

And year after year the courts

contention that funds expended
on the court are returned in man.
fold savings to taxpayers.
Last year, for example, the
court collected from recalcitrant
or improvident parents $185, ,542.41
for the support Of destitute chill
dren. This income made it pos
sible to tighten the burden on re-
lief rolls.
While the court collected this
money it operated under a total
budget of only $70,530.
COURT WORKS OVERTIME
Installation of modern business
methods and sacrifices of court
employees who work many hours
of overtime are largely responsible
for q steady increase in recent
years in the amounts collected
in nonsupport cases.
But the burden on the court
employees is a killing one and it is
only question of time until they
no longer will be able to maintain
their present pace.
Need for additional probation
officers to investigate the thou
sands of appeals for actions in
nonSupport cases is apparent to
even the most inexperienced lay
man.
In 1929 only 252 nonsupport
cases were settled by the court
and payments by probationerS

81 BRANCH TAX
'OFFICES SET UP
TO SPEED WORK
Collection Activities Are
DeCentraIized
By ERIC FREDHEIM

Q.N.E0 Establishment Of 81
revenue bureaus in leading cities
as part Of a broad program to
decentralize and speed collection
of income taxes is contemplated
by the Treasury Department.
Internal Revenue officials re-
vealed today several of the new
agencies may start functioning
late this summer in the larger
metropolitan centers. while the
remainder would be placed in
operation early in 1899.
EXPERIMENT SUCCEEDS
These organizations will be
patterned after the new tax collec-
ton unit set up at Los Angeles
several months ago. At the latter
city, the Treasury set up an
agency, manned with tax experts,
accountants, engineers and other
specialists who are charged with
reviewing all disputed tax cases
in Southern California and
Arizona.
Decisions given by the Los
Angeles unit in tax controversies
are not subject to review by the
Treasury in Washington and may
only be appealed by the taxpayer
to the United States Board Of Tax
Appeals.
Originally established as an ex.
pertinent, the Los Angeles unit
has proved so satisfactory that
creation of the companion or.
ganizations has been decided
upon.
LOCATIONS LISTED
Under present plans. the new
bureaus will be in the following
cities:
Atlanta, Baltimore, Bosto on,
Brooklyn, Buffalo, Chicago, Gin.
cinnati, Cleveland, Columbia,
S. c., Dallas, Denver, Detroit,
Greensboro, N. c., Honolulu, Hunt
ington, w. Va. Indianapolis,
Jacksonville, Louisville, Milwau-
kee, Nashville, Newark, New
Haven, New Orleans, New York
City (2), Oklahoma City, Omaha,
Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Rich
mond, St. Louis, st. Paul, Salt
Lake City, San Francisco, Seattle,
Springfield, ILL.,. and Wichita.
It is further contemplated to
divided the country into approx
mately IL districts and tax ex-
perts will function in the manner
Of circuit judges in each district.
PERIODIC TOURS
These experts will make periodic
tours of the areas assigned them
to effect settlements with tax
payers who are diSputing the
TreaSury'S demands.
Under present procedure, tax
payers usually are required to
bring their disputes to head
quarters in Washington. The
Treasury believes creation of the
new field agencies will save con-
siderable expense for the Govern
ment and the taxpayer and elimi-
nate lengthy delays.
Officials said no expansion Of
personnel would be necessary.
Virtually all those placed in the
bureaus will be drawn from Wash
ington headquarters.

REBELS SURPRISED
The uprising was confined to
the small area Of the capital oc-

government along more or less
totalitarian lines. The previous up
