New Revenue Bill Proposes 200 Million Short Term Notes
Democratic leaders and Secretary McAdoo back a new revenue bill to cover the Treasury deficit. It includes issuing 200 million dollars in short term notes at 3 percent, selling Panama Canal bonds, raising the inheritance tax by about 50 percent, and imposing a special excess profits tax on profits above five percent. The plan shifts the excess profits tax to calendar years with a January 1, 2018 start, and aims to raise 200 to 300 million dollars.
