An important change in the House tax bill not heretofore made public deals with taxes on capital net gain. The Senate committee measure provides that if any taxpayer derives a capital net gain in any taxable year “such capital net gain shall be stated separately from the ordinary net in- come in the taxpayer's return; and only 40 per cent of such capital net gain shall be taken into account in determining the amount of the net income upon which taxes are im- posed by sections 210, 211 and 230 of this title (the normal income, surtax and corporation tax sections). In any such case the tax shall be collected and paid upon the sum of the amount of ordinary net income plus 40 per cent of the amount of the capital net gain.” The House bill provided that in the case of any taxpayer, other than a corporation, whose ordinary net in- come and capital net gain together exceeded $29,000, the total tax im- posed should be the amount of the tax on the ordinary net income “plus 2% per cent of the capital net gain, or minus 12% per cent of th capital net loss, as the case may be but in no case, where a taxpayer de: rives a capital net gain, shall th total tax be less than 1213 per cent of the total net income. A change in the present law agreed upon by the finance committee pro- es that in the case of a bona fide sale of mines, oil or gas wells, or any interest therein, where the prlncixal value of the property has been demonstrated by prospecting or exploration and discovery work done by the taxpayer, the portion of the tax imposed by the income surtex section of the law “attributable to such sale shall not exceed after this calendar year 16 per cent of the sell- ing price of such property or inter- est.” The rate under the present 1aw is 20 per cent, and it is continued for this calendar year. § 3 HUGE CANAL ‘PROJECT FACING DIFFICULTIES Deep Waterways Association to Urge Connecting“New England b . With Florida. Improvement of American water- ways and completion of the intra- costal canal system which will con- nect all ports from New England to Florida will be two of the outstand- ing recommendations of the Atlantic Deeper Waterways Assoctation at Its fourteenth annual convention in Sa- vannab, Ga., from November 15 to 18. It was pointed out that the New York barge canal, an important lnk in the chain of proposed intracostal waterways-ia. virtually completed, but ia_of little valile- because the federal | waterways along the Atlantic sea- board which are to connect all the ports from New England to Florida remain unfinished. The Chesapeake and Delawdre canal is now national property, it was sald, but funds are lacking to miodernize it acording to actepted plans. Along the southern waterways the funds available are so_insufficient that loss is foreseen before Congress has another oppor- tunity to act. “The general conditions affecting waterway legislation have been so0 greatly changed duflnf the past year,” said a statement lssued today by the association, “that there Is gen- eral and well founded doubt and un- future procedur ower in the hand a single committee of Congress has largely superseded the effective work of the rivers and ha bors committee and may result in re opening debate on waterways pro- Jects, heretofore inquired into, found advantageous and adopted na- tional undertakings.
