Business Interests
Ask Modification Of
Excise Proposals
Luxury Tax Rute' FOR
Tires Criticized by
Representative Hurter
Earlier Story on Page Az
nv the Associated Press

tEarller Story on rage A-Z.l
By the Associated Press.
Spokesman for various business
interests appeared before the Senate
Finance Committee today to seek
modification of proposed excise
levies in the 1926, 100000 tax bill
and in some cases to ask removal
of what they termed "iniquities" in
present law.
Opposition to proposed levies on
tires, tubes and other rubber prod
ucts was presented by Represent
ative Harter. Democrat. of Ohio. who
COntended that the existing tax on
tires and tubes was already ''out of
line"
The present tax on tires and tubes,
Mr.. Harter said, represents an ad
valorem tax OF 89 per cent, while
other automobile accessories we're
taxed at ga per cent. The pro-
posed schedule he added, would
boost the levy on tires and tubes to
1S per cent while other accessories
were taxed at 5 per cent.
General Sales Tax Urged.
Tires are not luxury" Mr. Har-
ter told the committee, and they
should not be taxed at luxury rates
He urged that no increase be made
In the existing rate and assailed as
unfair" and as imposing undue
hardship" proposed 10 per cent
levy on other rubber products.
Hugh Satterlee. chairman of the
Committee on Taxation OF the New
York County Lawyers Association,
submitted formal brief in opposi-
ton to a proposal. rejected by the
House, for mandatory Joint returns
by husband and wife He also urged
a general sales tax as source of
new revenue.
Excise Change Favored.
Support for manufacturer
sales tax came also from Jay Iglauer,
chairman of the Taxation Commit
tee of the National Retail Dry Goods
Association. He urged that all ex-
else taxes be levied at the point of
manufacture rather than at retail
outlets.
Edward S. Boyles of Houston, Tex,
urged an amendment of present law
80 that banks could not be taxed
on recovery of bad debts when no
tax benefit was realized from charg-
ing off the debt.
Mr.. Boyles told the committee that
the First National Bank of Houston
charged of large amount of bad
debts in 1882 and 1888 with no tax
benefit, and in 1886 recovered a
large portion of the charge off.
