dented $3,672 ,400,00 tax bill.

than was voted by the House. Chair
man George of the finance group
told reporters, however, that he be-
lieved the Treasury estimates of $3,-
672 100000 would prove low.
In full year of operation" he
said, Il believe this bill would raise
approximately $4,000, 900 ,000.'
Senator George said that although
the measure was given general ap-
proval in its present form, the FL
nance Committee will meet Tuesday

committee voted to exempt from ex-
cess profits taxes the strategic metals

The measure would create between

ers by lowering personal income ex-
emptions from $4,000 to $500 for
married persons and from $500 to

additional revenue.

cent of net income up to SOS, 900
and from to per cent on net in
come over that figure However, it
knocked out special House levy OF
10 per cent on the profits of corpo-
rations which do not earn sufficient
income to fall under the excess
profits tax schedule.
The committee voted to stick by
its decision to forbid the division of
income between husbands and wives
for tax purposes.
New Amusement Tax Rates.
Such division, which usually oper-
ates to lower taxes when joint IN
come exceeds $4,000, now is per-
mitted in eight States-Louisiana,
Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, Cali
fornia, Nevada and Washington.
The committee first voted, 10 to z,
against postponing action on the
community incomes and then rlnally
accepted the proposal to forbid divi-
sion by vote of II to S.
The community property provi-
sion was estimated to raise an ad-
ditional $50, 900 of revenue, and
the committee voted to collect an
estimated $72,500,000 more by final
ly approving new schedule of taxes
on theater and other amusement
tickets. The new schedule, which
in general would increase the House
approved rate Of 10 per cent to Is
per cent, follows:
Tickets costing up to 10 cents, l
cent tax; 10 to Is cents, 2 cents; Is
to 20 cents, 3 cents; 20 to Is cents,
4 cents; Is to IS cents, cents; IS
to 40 cents. cents; 40 to As cents,
7 cents; As to SO cents, 8 cents; SO
cents and up, Is per cent of the
amount charged.
The committee decided to exempt
from the admissions tax concerts
given by civic organizations when nc
monetary gain accrues to individ-
uals. A House-approved provision
exempting agricultural fairs wa,
retained.
The committee voted against pro-
posals for reduction of it's schedule
of wine taxes. The committee levels
would increase existing rates ap-
proximately 100 per cent while the
House had voted an increase OF
only one-third.
