WAR TAX CUT ONLY $40,000,000
Senators Disposed to Yield to Sec
retary Gage’s Wishes,
Washington, D. C., Dec. 10. —
The republican leaders in congress
seem more disposed than last week
to limit the reauction of the war
tax to about $40,000,000 per year.
Some of the senators have been
talking of making a still bigger
cut, but the facts laid betore them
by Secretary Gage seem to be pro
ducing an effect. Tne Secretary
proposes to use a part of the sur
plus in meeting the requirements
of the Sinkiug Fund laws, and
does not believe that a larger re
duction than $40,000,000 should
be made.
The senate will probably amend
the house bill by increasing the re
duction of the beer tax and restor
ing the stamp tax on l ank checks.
The repeal of the special tax on
bank capital may also be embodied
in the senate bill. The senators,
while proposing a larger reduction
than the house, do not propose that
the reduction shall take effect so
early. They will probably fix a
date at the close of the fiscal year,
on June 30, so as to avoid the con
fusion which has resulted on sev
eral occasions from putting reve
nue measures into effect at the
time of their passage and to give
the treasury time to give proper
notice in regard to the new stamps
and rebates on the old ones.
