routined himself to a discussion of the j
pit posed tax 011 corporations and bank j
deposits, strongly urging that such I
taxes bo not imposed, Mr. Chilton and i
Mr. Turlev covered pretty fully tho
geneial features of the bill. 'Their !
speeches dealt comprehensively with 1
the theories of taxation, and were, !
therefore, in the very nature of things !
legal and technical dissertations upon 1
the subject. No a. Hon of any kind was I
taken upon the bill. 1
Mw'.M. That feature of the war )
revenue measure placing a tax of one- j
quarter of i per centum upon the gross 1
receipts of corporations was under dis
cussion in the Senate throughout

propu.-ed tax on bank deposits was
adverted to. The piinoipal speeches
