taken out as at present. Final deter
mination of this queston was passed
over until a later date.
The commttee definitely decided to
postpone the question of imposing an
additional tax on liquor. beer and wine
until the loot moment on account of
uncertainty Existing as to whether this
source of revenue to the Government
will remain available.
Abatementl on income Taxes
The matter of finally determining
abatemerts on the tax on personal in-
ccmes was partially determined, but
final determination of the total abate-1
ment on smaller incomes was deferred.
The schedule of importance on per-
sonal incomes was not discussed and
silt remain, unless excelmnt reasons
for changing the rates tentatively
agreed upon are laid before the com-
mittse.
The suggestion was made yesterday
that pipe lines owned by oil companies
should be taxed a percentage of the
value of the oil transported by the
lines.
the majority of the committee appa-
rently favored imposing an S prr cent.
tax on amount of the first premium
paid. The committee got into :1 snarl
on the proposal to tax all payments
of insurance premiumes. The only
absolute agreement was that the tax
it” imposed should be collected from
insurance companies. they adding the
amount of the tax to each premium
payment. Some of the committee were
opposed to going beyond the scope of
the present law. which imposes a tax
of eight cents foreach $100 for which
a lift is insured.‘
The committee considered shrine
and casualty insurance also, bll', purs-
ed over the general questl'n of tuning
insurance for the time being.

‘ Two masons were assigned for this
action by the committee-Abe fact that
.thls source of revenue, may be taken
from the Gavernment through passage
of the bone dry amendment to the ag-
ricultural stimulation bill and the fact
'that if this is passed the President
may veto it. in short the committee

The committee evidently is salisiiéd
with its tentative imposition of taxes
on personal incomes. income superior-
cs. corporate incomes and excess pro 0-
ilt taxes. Only one point on which
there is any difference of opinion re
mains to be cleared up~the question
of abstements of the 10 per cent. nor-
mal tax on individuals.
The schedule of supertnxcs oli’lndl-
vidual incomes will stand. The aboli-
tion of the excess profits tax on per-
sonal incomes which discriminated
against earned incomes in favor of
unearned incomes will stand also.
Income Abatement: Uniettlsd.
The questions which remain to be
settled by the committee in respect to
nbrt’tements on individual incomes are
the abatement in favor of incomes
which are earned as compared with
those which are unearned and the
amount ome” aoateme’ht itself. The
plans most favored by a Tnajority of
the 00mm" tee touching these points
are these.
To havé‘u greater abatement from
the normal tax on incomes Wm more1
than half of it is earned as compared ‘
to incomes where more than half of it
is uneatned.
