Washington, Aug. 31. The new rev
enue bill provldlnr $8,000,000,000 the
next year to help finance the war has
been completed by tho House Ways and
Means Committee and will be reported
early next week. Treasury experts be
lieve that the bill will provide between
$100,000,000 and $200,000,000 In excess '
of tho $8000,000,000 sought.
It Is tho largest tax bill In the history
of anyhtallon.
It wns originally estimated of the
$24,000,000,000 necessary for war ex
penditures In thc next fiscal ,year. one
third, or $8,000,000,000, should be raised
by a tax bill doubling and In some In
stances tripling tho rates In the present
revenue law.
Tho bill as it will bo reported to the
House, does not have tho entire ap
proval of Secretary McAdoo, He is op
posed to the war profits section contain
ing tho alternative excess profits tax be
ginning with a tax of 35 per cent and
running as high as 70 per cent.
As agreed to by the committee, the
war-profits section, estimated to raise
$3,200,000,000, imposes an 80 per cent
war-profit tax and provides for nn al
ternative excess-profit tax. There Is
nn exemption of $3000, plus 8 per cent
of the Invested capital,
After determining that the difficulties
of administration would bo very great.
Secretary McAdoo agreed to abandon
his plan for placing a heavier normal
tax on unearned Incomes than on earned
ones. He insisted originally that the
tax on unearned incomes should be 15
per cent, and on earned ones 13 per
cent. In tho conference he agreed that
the normal tax on alt Incomes should
bo 12 per cent.
This means that there wilt be a 1
per cent normal tax on nil Incomes over
$4000, nnd tho tax on Incomes below
thnt amount down to the exemption fig- ,
ure of 6 per cent. Thc present normal,
tax Is 4 per cent. Tho exemption In
the bill Is the samo as 'In the present
law $1000 for single and $2000 for
married persons.
Virtually all tho taxes In the present
revenue laws are doubled and In some
Instances tripled. There aro no new
taxes except a luxury tax, patterned
after the English and French systems,
and a tax on users of automobiles. This
tax Is In the form of a Federal license,
based on horsepower, and Is expected
to ralso $70,000.000.
