The transfer tax was reached by the senate Saturday as it swept through the final stages of the rev- enue’ bill. Since the finance committee voted to eliminate the minimum tax of one- fourth of one per cent, Dill said, “there have been developments in the stock exchange investigation that justify a reconsideration.” “The New York and other ex- changes,” Dill said, “have become more or less gambling institutions wherein a few men manipulate the markets in such a way as to make tremendous profits and take from the American people millions, hundreds of millions and even billions of dol- lars.” The last $50,000,000 worth of taxes tin the revenue bill came up for dis- posal by the senate in a cleanup ses- sion preparatory to the major strug- gle over the general sales tax. The rates approved up to Saturday were estimated to yield approximate- ly $940,000,000. Thus, if the remainder were approved unchanged, the bill ‘would be within 10 million or so o! the billion figure sought—a mighty narrow talking potnt for supplanting the excise and miscellaneous levies with the sales tax. However, today's tax schedules were on stock and bond transfer, stock and bond issues and convey- ances, and taxes on oil pipe lines, all delicate subjects which would face Sustained opposition except for the greater issue of the sales tax, whose feats so as to have strength for the final battle. !
