A last-minute change in the bill, ordered by the republican caucus, makes the repeal of the excess profits tax and the income surtax rates in mined upon at the recent White House conference, where it was decided to make the repeal of these taxes retro- active to January 1, 1921, Republicans from the western states led the fight against the administration plan, and it was a motion by Representative Mann of Illinois, fixing the date of the repeal as January 1, 1922, that was finally adopted by a vote of 96 to 87. The change carried with it instruc- tions to make the new Increase in the tax on corporations effective as of January 1, 1922, also. This increase was from the present 10 per cent to 15 per cent. But the ways and means committee, before Chairman Fordney introduced the bill, cut the proposed increase in two, so that the corpora- tion tax will be 12% per cent, instead of 15 per cent, as originally proposed. *$200 to $400 far each child. y Increase in income tax on“coT- porations frof 10 per cent to 12% per cent, effe¢tive January 1, 1922.

An official state- ment issued here last night says that columns commanded by Gen. San- jurpo and Col. Riquieme, comprising troops of all units, commanded by Gen Cavaloanti and Gen Issmo, in Morocco, have occupléa the town of Sidie Amaran, and have dominated positions which command the en- trance to the peninsula on ‘which Melilla is situated. It is indicated | the battle was fought near the sea shore, the statement declaring that the gunboat Lauria fired upon the flanks of the Moorish forces, breaking the resistance of the enemy and @id- ing the Spanish advance. 1t is declared that the enemy was completely routed in hand-to-hand fight- ing and lost heavily in dead, wounded and prisoners, leaving arms and muni- tions upon the fleld. Many of the tribes men fled and deserted, it is said. By the Associated Press. MELILLA, Morocco, August 15.—The Moors have taken Gen.

Gregory, jr., and Mike Jones to scholarship: Among amendments to income tax provisions iy oné permitting after De- cember 31, 1920, deduction of a net loss from net fncome of the succeed- ing taxable year. If the net loss is in excess of the met income for the next taxable year the bill provides that the amount of such excess shall be allow ed as a deduction In computing net income for the! taxable year follow- ing.. Under the present law losses must be taken for the year on which a return is made. Another amendment, drawn to meet a Supreme Court decision. provides specifically for the exemption of stock dividends from- taxation, but says “a distribution made by a corporation to its shareholders or members shall be Revenue to Kxéeed Estimates. The postponement of the repeal of the excess profits tax and the higher sur- taxes on incomes means that about $200,000,000 in excess of the expected revenues under the bill will be paid into the Treasury next year, covering busi- ness for 1921. The committee, thére- fore, decided to slash the increased tax on corporations, whicl’ was designed to make up the loss of revenue from the repeal of the excess profits tax, etc. The tax bill as_prepared by the re- publicans of the House is expected to bring in about $3,000,000,000 revenue and to reduce the nation’s tax burden by about $600,000,000 next year. General debate on the bill, after the adoption of the special rule tomorrow, will run until Thursday’s adjournment of the House.

It all depends upon the ultimate atti- tude of the House. Likely to Aecept Deeision. Seventh. When the Senate has pass. ‘ed the bill it is then placed before a conference committee repréfenting the House and Senate, where the real legislating is done. Then the disagreements between the two houses are ironed out and as a rule the House and Senate both ac- cept the decision of the conference committee and the measure is ready for signature. Of course. a President can veto it and send it back for fur- ther changes. but since President Harding and the majority In Congress are of the same political faith, the measure is certain to receive execu- tive approval. Through these seven ’steps the tax- payers of the country must wait be- fore they can pass judgment on the tax bill. The detalls being published from day to day merely show_the trend of opinion in Congress. Even democrats admit that the changes thus far made are improvements, and they expect the bill will be changed for the better when' it reaches the Senate. May Be Political Tax. The tax bill in its present shape— that is. as passed by the House—is more likely to be a political tax bill rather than a business measure. The House membership' is responsive to Waves of protest from virtaally every quarter. Sometimes clamor is mis- taken for sound judgment. The Senate. however, being a small- er body with only one-third of its membership up for re-election a year hence, moré responsibility can be taken' there than in the House in the making of -a_bill that may not be en- tirely palatable from a political view- point, but economically justified. Must Make Business Tax. Republican leaders in the Senate mit they must make a business man’s tax bill rather than a political meas- ure.

Bil's Provisions. The tax measure as presented in the House is entitled “A bill to reduce and equalize taxation, to amend and simplify the revenue act of 1918, and for other pu . Much of its 16,000-odd words of text is devoted to amendments of the administrative and definitive sections of the present law, which were drafted by ‘Treasury experts with a view to clarify- ing specific portions of the 1918 act and meeting _situations arising de- cisions of the Supreme Court. Aside from the revisions of the levy sections already referred to, the bill pro- poses repeal of all of the transportation taxes, effective next January; increased exemptions to heads of famllies and married men having incomes of less than $5,000, decreases in the levies on candy, 8poi goods, furs and art and art works; the substitution of manufac- turers’ taxes for the so-called nuisance and luxury levies and other changes. detalls of which have been given befo; tion from taxation of salaries of the President of the United States and the Judges of the Supreme and inferior fed- eral courts, and also amounts recel by individuals as compensatign, family allotments and allowances under provi- sions of the war risk Insurance and 'vocational rehabilitation acts.
