Senate starts revision work on war revenue
Washington May 24 The Senate Finance Committee began revising the 1.8 billion war revenue bill passed by the House. It favors cutting the gross levy by about one third to 1.25 billion and not adding the Treasury’s 445 million in extra estimates. The panel proposed striking retroactive 1916 income tax, eliminating second class mail rate increases, and replacing the excess profits tax with one based on average profits. Short term bonds may cover reduced levy and parcel post tax may be considered as freight tax.
