CONGRESS HELD BY TAX ISSUES Houston’s Call for Action Bar to Adjournment. WASHINGTON. March I&—Possibility of the adjournment of congress prior to the meeting of the national convention was precluded by the action of Secretary of Treasury Houston In demanding the adjustment of the nation’s tax system at this session. The decision of the supreme court exempting stock dividends from income tax levy; the demand made npon congress for a bonus for former service men and the demand made by bankers of the country for an adjustment of the tax system have caused preparation on the part of the house ways and means committee for drafting a tax bill as a substitute for the act passed during the democratic control of the house. The original plan of the republican leaders was to abolish the excess profits taxes and to place a flat sales tax of 1 per cent on all sales of commodities. General taxes on Incomes, known as normal taxes, would remain the same under the plan proposed.* Retroactive excise taxes on stock dividends would be constitutional, Wayne Johnson, solicitor for the treasury department, told the house ways and means committee, which Is considering new means of taxation to meet the losses caused by the supremo court decision that stock dividends are not taxable as income. Johnson said the excise taxes would have to cover the same period of times as that affected by the court decision.
