While no details of the amendment were arranged definitely tonight, it can be _stated authoritatively that the amendment will apply to al! corpora- tions, without regard to their capital #tock. It is likely, however, that the tax will apply only to earnings in ex- cess of $5,000 a year. Another impor- tant feature discussed tonight related to the interests on bonds of corpora- tions. The comsensus of opinfon was that the tax should not apply to such interest for the reason that in many cases it would amcunt to double taxa- tion. Particularly would this be true of savings banks which bolds the bonds of corperations. $40,000,000 Revenue Annually.
