SENATt COMMITTEE INCREASES INCOME TJX

Corporations To Pay 12 Per Cent On Net Instead of Six If Section Iwls Approved.

"WASHINGTON, Oat 18.—The senate finance committee, in revising the •wax revenue bill, today amenaed the Jhouse provision by fixing a flat tax of 12 per cent upon the net income of corporations and eliminated the section imposing a six per cent additional tax tipon undistributed earnings, i^nalrman Simmons estimated that this than^e reduced the tax approximately i' 1140,000,000.

In fixing twelve pep cent tha comtnittee doubled the present rate, Senator Simmons explained that under the amendment corporations •would be permitted to retain for the operation of their, business part of their fearolngs exempt from an additional tax* It is the committee's purpose, V be WLid. to authorize the secretary of the treasury to determine whether the

Amount retained by a corporation for this purpose is excessive and as to Vhat part of thir, amount should be subject to sur-taxes.

In makingthis oharjrs, Senatof Stmrnons said the committee felt that because of the Increased cost of operating business and the necessity for a forger working capital an undue hardship would be worked by imposing the ^additional six per cent tax.

House provisions exempting from i taxation farmers* insurance and telephone companies or similar organizajtlons. the Income from which consists [of assessments used for the purpose 'only of paying expenses, was accepted 'WBChanged. I Another amendment would exempt ^Merest on bonds of the war finance 'corporation from normal taxes.

The percentage of losses on the Atlantic route since the convoy system began, May 25 last, is less than that of any other route. In the Mediterranean the percentage of losses Is about one and one-half per cent and on an exposed route runs up to 18 per cent.
