Profits Tax Out

DAT HARRISON meant what he
said about altering the revenue
bill that was passed by the house.
His senate finance committee is
making the changes. BY vote of
II to it eliminated from the meas
ure the undistributed profits tax
principle, substituting therefor fiat
corporation income tax of 10 per
cent.
AS a further means of stimulating
business and investment the COM
mittee adopted a provision dras-
tically modifying the capital gains
and losses tax. The committee re-
moved capital gains on assets held
for more than Is months from the
income tax category and substituted
instead a fat rate of Is per cent,
which was what business and indus
try wanted.
In an effort to clear the way for
speedy enactment of the tax relief
legislation, the committee rejected
a system of processing taxes on
wheat, corn, cotton, tobacco, and
rice, which the administration de-
sires to finance proposed additional
bounties to farmers amounting to
$500, 100000 a year.

be improved by the school authori-
