" B4 MAIL AND GAS TAX BILL IS APPROVED Doughton Measure Would Give Roosevelt Power Over Postal Rates. By the Associated Press. The House Ways and Means Commit- tee yesterday approved the Doughton bill to continue the 1-cent a gallon gas- oline tax for another year, reduce first- class drop letter postage from 3 to 2 cents and give authority to President Roosevelt to increase or decrease first, second and third class mall raies. Chairman Doughton told newspaper- /men after an executive session of the | committee that President Roosevelt would be empowered to raise or lower first, second and third class mail rates until July 1, 1934, if the need of the postal service, business, or the public in- terest justifies such changes. The measure also provides for a simplification of the method of making rebates to States, counties and munici- palities, on taxes paid on gasoline and lubricating oil for official use in Gov- ernment motor vehicles. * The bill is to be brought up, Dough- ton said, under the general rules of the House tomorrow. The North Caro- lina Democrat said he favored liberal consideration of the measure. No effort was made by the committee to amend the measure approved by the THE EVENING ndmlng‘nuon to include the Doughton proposzls for the repeal of the bank check tax. Doughton said the Treasury maintains that if this levy were re- pealad it would be necessary to impose snother tax to meet revenue require- ments, - “There is no doubt that a general revenue bill will be considered at the first regular session of this o Doughton said. “At that time the bank check tax and other nuisance levies will be considered.” e New Jersey Banker Dies.
