FAVOR SALES TAX
While the Senate considered

Der who withheld use of his
name told reporters that the
final form of the bill may hinge
on acceptance of the proposed 5
per cent "Victory" tax on indivi-
dual incomes over 1924 a year.
If the S per cent levy is ap-
proved by the Senate and House,
he said, the bill may 60 through
in about its present form, but he
pointed out that rejection of the
victory tax would leave a ST.

open the way for showdown on
a Federal sales tax, and possibly
further revisions of individual
income tax schedules.
Senator Herring (D-Iowa) and
some other members of the Fin
ance committee have expressed
favor for a sales tax, contending
it is the simplest way to get adj
ditional money under present
conditions.
Consideration of the Victory
Tax was delayed yesterday on
request of Senator Downey Cd
Calif) who announced he would
offer a substitute proposal call
ing for a S per cent tax on gross
incomes over $1,000 year and
a 10 per cent rate on incomes
over S2,4OO. Under Downey's
plan, 100 per cent of the money
collected would be refunded 10
taxpayers after the war. Inc
postwar rebate under the COM
mittee's Victory Tax plan would
be limited to Is per cent OF the
tax for single persons, and 4O
per cent for heads of families,
with an additional 2 per cent Tor

WASHINGTON, Oct. 7-tR)
The Senate faced its first ma
jor decision on the big new tax
bill today with Senator Lafol-
lette (Prog. Wis., demanding
sitter increase in corporation
levies.
La Toilette offered an amend
ment designed mainly. he said.
to lift the combined normal and
surtax rate on corporation in
comes to so per cent.
With the normal rate unchang-
ed at "a per cent, the House pro-
posed a 81 per cent surtax on net
incomes above $4,000, or to-
tai of As per cent. The Senate
Finance committee reduced the
surtax rate to Is per cent, for
a total of 40 per cent.
Under his amendment, LaFol-
lette said, the surtax would be Is
per cent on net incomes over
$4,000.
To case the effect of that
change on small corporations, La
Toilette said he would propose
$4,000 exemption for excess
profits tax.purposes, as contained
in the House Bill, which the
Senate reduced to $4,000.
COULD STAND HIKE
"This would relieve some g.
900 small corporations from hav-
ing to pay any excess profits
taxes and they therefore could
stand the hike in the surtax," he
explained.
Chairman George '(D-Ga) OF
the Finance Committee was ex-
pected to oppose the so per cent
combined rate, since he reported
