NORWICH, CONN., TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1921 8 PAGES—64 COLUMNS PRICE TWO CENTS Reed Action Discussion of the Amendment — No Was Taken. Washington, Oct. Zl.—Ren&ul of the fight in the senate for the paage of the soldiers’ bonus bill resulted in a further setback today for the tax revision meas- ure. Republican leaders forced a night sesgion, but with the bonus bill undis- posed if there appeared to be doubt whether the tax bill could be brought to a vote before Saturday, if then. There was a four hours) aiscussion today of the Reed amendment proposing to continue the excess profits tax and to use the proceeds to defray the costs ‘of the five way adjustedf compensation plan. This was followed by the intro- | duction of an amendment by Senators Massachusetts, democratic members on the finance committee, proposing payment of the bonus out of the interest on the nation's foreign debt. The latter amendment will not be form- all moved for adoption in the senate, its anthors announced, until action has been taken on the Reed amendment. Meantime Senator Reed is delaying formal presenta- tion of his amendment until there has been full discussion of the whole question. Senator. Penrose, in charge of the tax bill, said today it was the plan of the majority, to move to lay the Reed pro- posal on the table on the ground that the soldiers’ bonus has no- place in a tax measure. Majority Jeaders had not decid- ed, however, what would be done with re- spect to the Simmons-Walsh amendment, which the outhors declared would “make the issue clearly one of bonus or no hon- us without raising the uestion of the, con- dition of the public treasury, Wwhich has been the chief argument presented by op- ponents of the bonus plan.” Senator New opened the bonus discus- sion today with the declaration that in his judgmw* the Reed amendment wpuld be in conflict with the constitution in that it proposed to tax one class of citi- zens for the benefit of another. The contention was denied by Senator Reed, who declared a vote to table his amendment would be a “coward’s vote. Attacking Secretary Mellon for recom- mending delay in action on the bonus measure, Semator Reed declared the treasury head wals connepied with “many oppressive and powerful financial and industrial institutions " The senate was told by Semator Stan. ley that despite an overwhelming senti ment in congres sfor the bonus bill, the gneasure” and ordered the republican congressional leaders to abandon it. He added that with “Senator Penrose acting as undertaker and the other republicans as pall bearers” the bonus bill was dead. Getting back to the tax bill, the senate adopted a finance commiftee amendment which would _exempt ~ from taxation American corporations and citizens in the Philippines and Porto Rico unless their income was sent to stockholders in the United States. It was explained that this vould place Americans ir those islands on the same footing as—traders of oth- er countras, Before the senate voted on the amend- ment, the finance committee withdrew its proposal to exempt from taxation in- comes derived from China by American corporations and citizens, fifty per cent. of whose business was done in that re- public. Senator Smoot said it had been decided to let this situation be faken care of by the pending Dyer bill. After a sharp fight the senate adopted. 32 to 30, an amendmnt to the capital stock section which would permit holding companies to deduct from their capit stock tax the amount of such taxes patd by their subsidiaries. Nine republicans joinéd the ~democrats in opposing the amendment. They were: Borah, Capper, Jones of Washington; Kenyon, La Folx, lette, Lenroot, Sutherland, Townsend and Willis. The senate tonight proceeded with the tax revision bill “with unusual celerity. voting to retain $75,000,000 of taxes on corporations which had been proposed |the excise levies now in force. The first important action was the $1.000 on all over $3,000,000. companies in paving this tax would be |credited with the amount of the same tax paid by their subsidaries. < Reconsidering its former ipianos and other musical instruments, the senate without a roll eall and little opposition _adopted an Senater Frelinghuysen, tax, repealing tnis levy on sporting goods was mext elimi nated, a compromise amendment - strik- inz out this section, being adopted, 31 to 30, The senate got stuck for’a time on the chewing gum section, but it finally voted, 35 to 24, to repeal this tax, the existing rate of which is three per cent.. and thag proposed In the bill two per cent. The senate rejected an amendment by Senator Wadsworth, republican, New and on lenses for such cameras. rejected a motion by the same senator to reduce the tax from 10 to 5 per cent.
