The President’s change of attitude on the automobile levy, which produces $66,000,000 a year, is said to have been brought about only pecause he realizes it is the duty of Congress to determine how the Nation's revenues shall be raised. While still opposed to repeal of the tax, which he believes should be | employed to raise sufficient funds at least to meet Federal appropriations for road building, amounting to $75,000,000 annually, he is not going to turn against the tax bill on that score alone. The President’s Jone concern is that Congress should sce to it that sufficient receipts are forthcoming to meet the expenses of the Nation, and he regards the $203.000,000 Senate committee meas- ure as safely within the limits pre- scribed by the Treasury. Corporation Tax is Issue. The biggest obstacle now in the path of the tax bill's enactment is a conflict of opinion on the corporation tax.
