House Ready to Vote Tax Bill

Washington, Nov. AIMS The
House, slated to pass a two-billion
dollar rsvenue bill by nightfall
heard a COP pledge today against
further tax increases and a promise
for complete revision OF the federal
tax structure after the war.
The assertions were contained in
a speech by Rep. Knutson (R)
Mimi, prepared for delivery when
the House opened debate at noon.
As the ranking COP member on
the tax-writing Ways and Means
Committee, Knutson said:
III the Republican party main.
tains its present strength in Con.
gress, or makes gains in the next
election. the country can confd
emily look forward to reductions in
taxes in the future; rather than
continual increases.
Since 1888, the federal tax bdr
den alas been increased 2ossold-.
from two billions annually to 40
billions. The pending bill Is but
one OF an endless procession OF ! :
major revenue measures since
1888.
Sound tax principles have been
departed from. and too often the
taxing power has been used for 9th
er than revenue purposes. We have
seen taxes used TO punish taxpay-
ers, for social experimentation. and
for accomplishing ends otherwise
prohibited by the Constitution,
Certainly as soon as hostilities
in the present war cease. immedi-
ate attention will be given TO revi-
sion OF our whole tax structure for
realization of maximum revenue
with the least interference with
free enterprise"
As the House made ready for de-
bate, Chairman Doughton (Dl y.
c., OF the Ways and Means Com
mittee advised Speaker Rayburn
that the two days Of debate orig
inally scheduled would probably
be telescoped into one day TO avoid
