Chairman George of the Sen
ate Finance Committee and
Treasury officials discussed with
President Roosevelt today in
creasing estimated returns from
the pending $6,144,OO0,0OO reve-
nue. bill by correcting what they
described as "inequitable" pro-
visions.
The Treasury set a goal Of about
SO, TOO ,OOO, 900 in new taxes and Sem
ator George indicated he thought
that correcting matters regarded
as inequitable by the Treasury
would considerably increase the
total to be garnered under the
measure now being debated in the
House.
Senator George said he told the
President the Senate could not be
expected to pass the tax measure be-
fore the last week in August or
more probably the first week in Sep
tember.
Few Treasury Items.
He described the House bill as
closely approaching the Treasury's
revenue requests with respect to
taxing of individual incomes, but
about Is per cent shy in taxation on
corporate revenue. He commented
that it contained only a few of the
special items proposed by the
Treasury.
On Capitol Hill it was reported
by sources who refused to be quoted
by name that the discussion OF
the so-called inequalities centered
around the failure of the House
Ways and Means Committee to in
sert a provision requiring joint in
come tax returns from husbands
and wives and omission Of taxation
Of State and municipal bonds. De-
pletion allowances retained by the
House in disregard OF Treasury rec
concentrations for changes also
were reported by them to be un-
satisfactory to Mr.. Roosevelt.

charge OF the tax bill in the House
refused, In the meantime, to ap-
prove any changes proposed from
the floor.

nue. goal, told the House today that
a Government department should
advise and counsel mot insist or
direct or demand"
Representative Boehne, a COM
mittee member, said that the con-
stitutional duty OF the House to write
revenue bills had not been Ques-
toned until recently when "a new
theory" developed that Govern
ment department should deter
mine in advance the amount of
revenue which should be raised or
that it should propose the sources
Of revenue which should be tapped"
| In fact, he said, the Treasury
Department presented "a most COM
plete statement showing the exact
method of taxing the American
people"
1T is the duty and responsibility
OF the House" he said, through
its Committee on Ways and Means
to prepare revenue legislation after
public hearings in which the people
are invited to present their views,
and after careful and independent
