WAR REVENUE BILL

House Ways and Means
Board Takes Up Tax
Measures
UNDERWOOD FORMS PLAN
WASIIINdTON, May 1
Dissension marked thn meeting of the
House Ways and Means Committee, whose
full membership convened today to receive
the subcommittee's draft of the war revenue
bill There has been a growing feeling that
Die subcommittee In completing a draft of a
bill has exceeded Its authority
There Is little prospect that the com
mittee will accept the subcommittee's re
port It Is understood first of all that the
subcommittee bill does not raise within
$400,000,000 of the $1,800,000,000 estimates
and schedules which were submitted by Sec
letary McAdoo, of the Treasury. The sub
committee. Is said to have agreed upon a
Hat excess profits tax of IC per cent, levied
on all profits above 8 per cent on capital
Invested
This proposal will bo fought by Itepub
Means on the full committee Bepresentn
tlvn Falrchlld, of New York, Is among those
teady to fight this on the ground that It will
retard business The other Item forming
the basis for the bill is Income taxes. The
tentative decision which lowers exemptions
to $1000 for single men nnd $2000 for mar
ried mi n Is also due to meet with opposi
tion STAB CHAMBKIt MHTHODS
Thus far the subcommittee has winked al
together In executive session This. In large
measure. Is responsible for the dli-nffeotlon
which has sprung up lu the full committee
The membership gonernllv declares that tho
committee appointed the subcommittee to

asserted, the subcommittee hns written the

came out flatly today against the present
excess profits tax on corporations, nnd de
clared his conviction that the only way to
raise war revenues from corporations on a
fair basis was to tax the net profits of all
corporations.
Before going lo tho Senate Mr, I'nder
wood was ihalimnn of the House Wnvs
nnd Means Committee. Ho framed the
present tariff law. As the pemoeintlc
parly camn Into power largely ns a result
of his tariff policies, his statement today
means that preparation already has been
mado In the Senato lo draft revenue laws
In accordance wllh his views
t'NDCHWOOD'S PLAN
"What we want to do," said Senator Un
derwood, "Is to make the cot potations con.
tribute, a big part of the revenue necessniy
for the war expenses of the country, but
what wo most especially want Is to see that
these taxes arc fairly distributed among
nil the corporations We want to elimi
nate lax-dodging b any cotporatlon
"The piesent excess-profits lux offets a
line way for the Idle rich tn escape taxa
tlon Instead of paving it Moreover, the
present law must Inevitably, If It Is not
changed, retard the financial progress and
prosperity of the country during the war
These nre two things that the lawmakers
must be very careful to guard against Our
aim should bo to promote Industrial prng
less and nt the same time to see that our
taxes are paid equally by those who aie
able lo do so as a lesult of war pios
