Only Few of Levy Sections
of House Tax Bill Yet to
Be Acted Upon.
Washington, Sept. 15. Only a few of j
the levy sections of the House tax bill
remained to be acted upon when the j
Senate finance committee resumed to-
day revision of the measure. The in- j
heritance tax provision was the princi-1
pal one left, but the committee also j
was to pass finally on a Treasur5r plan j
to effect the one per cent reduction in
the income surtax brackets up to the
proposed maximum of 32 per cent, so !
as to givr some relief to individuals ,
having incomes of $68,000 or less.
The question of imposing the manu-'
facturers' tax on somie of the articles
to which the so-called retail -sale luxury
taxes now apply also was open. In ad
dition, there remained a final decision
on a number of legislative features of
the House bill. !
Having passed the excise levy section
of the measure yesterday, the commit
tee expected to wind up its work to
morrow, so as to give the experts three
working day s in which to put the meas
ure in shape for presentation to the
Senate "Wednesday.
While agreeing to the House plan
to repeal stamp taxes on perfumes, cos
metics, toilet preparations and pro
prietary medicines, the committee voted
to impose p manufacturers' tax of four
I per cent on toilet articles ana two pei
cent on proprietary mfiiicins, and to
restore the three per cent tax on toilet
soaps and powders which the House
bill proposed to repeal.
REDUCTION CANCELLED.
Five per cent reductions in the taxes
on fur articles, motor boats and yachts,
portablei electric fans and works of
arts, agreed upon by the House, were
disapproved by the committee, which
voted to continue the present rate of
ten per cent in each case.
The section of the House bill reduc
ing the tax o.i candy from 5 per cent
to three per cent, was amended to pro
vide that candy sold at wholesale for
more than forty cents a pound should
bear a tax of ten per cent.
In accepting the House reduction
from ten per cent to five per cent in
the tax on sporting goods, the commit
tee decided to make taxable skates,
snowshoes, skis, toboggans and base
all, and footall and basketall equipment
which were eliminated by the House.
Unej r a new section added to the
House bill, the committee proposed that
the tax on chewing gum be reduced
from 3 per cent to two px?r cent.
The House measure made no change
in this levy.
The House provision repealing oil
of the so-called luxury taxes was ac
cepted, but the. committee deferred ac
tion on the proposal to impose a man
ufacturers' tax on a number of articles
on which a retail tax is now imposed.
Sections of the House bill accepted
without changj included those relating
to taxes on cereal beverages and soft
drinks: repealing the tax on eye glasses
and spectacles; eliminating the license
levies on yachts and motor boats of
not more than five tons or not over
thirty-two feet in length, and imposing
a tax of 10 per cent on camera lenses.
The beverage tax changes, were accept
ed, however, subject to possible amand
ment after further information on this
subject has been furnished by Treasury
experts.

This phrase enters into the stories of many men who
are now established financial successes. It implies a slov,
up-hill climb, attended by rigid economy, to the point
of "having money to make money." There are many that
