Adopts Graduated Tax on Gifts. The Senate adopted, 35 to 31, an amendment by Senator Walsh, demo- crat, Massachusetts, providing for a sraduated tax on ‘‘transafers of prop- erty by gift by every person.” The 1ates range from 1 per cent of the amount, 20,000 and do not exceed $50,000, to per cent on the amounts in ex- cess of $10,000,000. On a tie vote, 32 to 32, the Senate rejectod an amendment by Senator XKeonyon, republican, Iowa, proposing 2 tax equivalent to 15 per cent of the value of tax-exempt securities trans. six securities months after the passage of the act. Previously, by a vote of 33 to 25, the jenate had rejeoted an amendment by nator La Follette, republican, Wis- were consin, which would have impo: the on the transfer of tax-exempt securi- ties issued before the passage of the act. Sales Tax Proposal Defeated. Senator Smoot, republican, Utah, brought up the sales tax again last night, proposing his original 3 per gent manufacturers' levy, with a 10 per cent corporation tax, a 32 per I“Fent maximum income surtax rate id a capital stock tax. It was re- ected without a record vote. Reconsidering its former action, the onate voted to allow on original pur- hases of liberty and victory bonds exemption equal to the interest on oney borrowed to purchase or carry hose bonds. The Senate previously agreed to allow an exemption nly on the difference between the nterest on the money borrowed and he amount of interest recelved from !Zhe bonds. On motion of Senator Reed the enate voted, .32 to 31, to strike out :Rhe Lodge amendments ‘allowing hold- #%ing companies to deduct from their ticapital stock tax the amount of such fitax paid on the stock of their subsid “Haries.

He pointed out that the decision merely follows the opinion of the United States Supreme Court rendered several years ago in a Chinese deportation case. Maj.
