Tax sources cut by price fixing may hit revenue plans
Washington reports a War Revenue bill hearing as Ways and Means weighs heavy excess profits taxes. Officials fear price fixing in steel copper and war materials could shrink excess profits next year and push levies higher on unearned incomes to raise 1920 budget funds. The committee seeks estimates from Treasury and War Industries Board on profit levels and taxation impact.
