Simmons to Present Reduced Revenue Bill For Action Next Week
Washington December 5 The war revenue bill to raise about 46 billion in taxes next year and 625 million in 1920 will be sent to the Senate by Chairman Simmons for debate next week. The bill faces opposition from Republicans led by Panres, with talks of a possible 80 percent tax on 1918 corporate profits if needed. Senate action aims to prevent revenue loss from war profits while considering changes to post and tax provisions. Senator Ta Pollette signals willingness to oppose the bill and push higher excess profits and surtax rates.
