Washington March 12 The House tax experts began drafting a budget balancing bill based on President Roosevelt's surplus tax, modified to allow reserve cushions. Multiple methods to raise 792 million dollars annually for farm relief and the bonus were offered and debated as treasury data suggested feasible revisions without harming expected revenue. The plan includes a windfall tax to recapture unpaid processing taxes and a revamped corporate surplus tax to permit cushioned reserves and exemptions for banks and insurers. The administration favored the modifications aimed at broader reserves and a graduated tax structure.
