Conna||y Urges Reimposine
OF Excess Profits Tax
By the Associated Press

BY fhs Associoisd Press
Reimposition of the excess profits
tax was urged yesterday by Senator
Connally, Democrat, of Texas,
member of the Senate Finance
Committee.
Recalling that he had vainly op-
posed repeal of the tax by the
present Republican Congress, Sena-
tor fConnally said:
Individuals are taxed progress
sively higher rates as their incomes
increase.
"Why this same principle should
not apply to business and corporate
concerns I do not see. Woodrow
Wilson, while President, advocated
an excess profits tax as a permanent
part of our taxing system"
The Senator said he thought the
tax should be reimposed at about
so per cent to 60 per cent of the
old rates which were levied during
| the war.
Senator Connally also said he
will support proposed repeal of the
current 10 cents pound Federal
! tax on colored oleomargarine.
