four major provisions of th House tax

cent as compared with the preaent tt
per cent, and the,, other increases by
500, the exemption allowed to heads
of families having net Incomes of 5,

Chairman Penrose . announced that
th committee would tot tomorrow oa
th effective dnte of th repeal of tha
excess profit tax. Even thosf Sena
tors favoring flee re tary Mellon's pro
posal to make the repeal retroactive to
last January 1, were of the opinion that
the committee would accept the House
provision for repeal as of next Jan
uary 1.
Should the House date be approved
it was aaid the committee probably
would approve repeal of all of the
transportation tax as of next January
1 and most of the other tax repeal pro
vided for in th Hons bill. Secretary
Mellon's proposal lwr retention of the
transportation levies next year at one
half the present rates and the restora
tion of a tax oa cosmetics, perfumery
and proprietary medicines were pre
dicated upon retroactive repeal of the
profits tax. -
In voting to reject secretary Mel
ton's trorosal that the maximum in
come surtax rate be reduced to 25 per
cent the committee took under con
tiderttion a Treasury plan to reduce
the rate in each of th income surtax
bracket by one per cent, so as to
lighten the taxes on those having in
cornea at less than fiH,U0U a rear as
well aa those hosei incomes exceed
that amount. .
Several new tax proposals are to be
reseated to the committee, bat Chair-
n l'enrose said it bad been aeciuen
to have a final vote on the bill next
Friday a to give th draftsmen and
experts time In wWcV to put tho meas
ure ia shape for presentation to me

mittee will hold night sessions, Chair
man Penrose said.
Tho question of the amount of the
increase to be made in the corporation
income tax a aa offset to the "repeal
of the excess profits tax has not yet
been reached by the committee. The
House bill fixe the total at 12V per
cent instead of the 15 per cent reeoi
mended by Mr. Mellon and the opinion

Outstanding Figure In Score
' Who Want Appointment
Attorney General J. 8. Manning has
been definitely eliminated st a prob
able successor to Justice W. B. Allen
on the Supreme Court bcncV Judge
Manning snnouticed in Cliarlotto lnit
night that he had refused to allow
friends to present his name ai a eandl
date for the judgeship.
It was stated here yesterday hat
Judge Manning had already committed
himself in writing, to a friend In Ka-
leigh to the effect that he would not ac
cept appointment to the Supreme Cnirt
bench. Before this, it had been stated
on almost as good authority that Gov
ernor Morrison had tentatively offered
tha appointment to Judge-Manning but
th latter had declined. Governor Mor
rison himself voiced his belief last week
that Judge Manning would not caro for
the office, and then added the expres
sion of his own views that the office
ought not to be cheapened by tendering
it where it would be refused.
Thia leaves Judge W. J. Adam as
the outstanding candidato but his sp
point men t is not assured. I he score
of others who are either themselves or
through their friends waging am active
fight by mail and telegraph for the ap
pointment are making tho appointment
difficult, and tho news came from Char
lotte last night that Governor Morrison
would not announce bis appointment
for week.
8ay Warren Will be Named
A Baleigh attorney close to tho Mor
rison administration yesterday stated
that Thomas D. Warren, of New Bern,
would be appointed to succeed Justice
Allen, but while" the day apparently
added no new entranU to the list, there
is enough active campaigning by those
who were already in to make the selec
tion' embarrassing to the Governor.
Those who are firmest in the belief
that Judge Adams wil wear the ermine
of the high eourt are not forgetful
of tho past. They recall that among
the many it waa conceded earlier in the
year that A. J. Maxwell would tie named
Commissioner of Revenue until the
bomb fell in the shape and personality
of A. D. Watt.
