" 2t-20 TAX OF $30 ON EVERY HEAD IN UNITED STATES Some of the Features of the New ReVenue Bill to Finance Uncle i Sam; A tax of anhTOYimorniii con i t upon every man. woman nH aaa -1 the country by the revenn Kin pieteu Saturday by the senate fi nance committee. The measure is des igned to raise $3,200,000,000 for the fiscal year 1922. Treasury experts, now whipping the bill into shape for report to the senate tomorrow, say that the changes made by the senate committee in the house bill will make little difference in the total revenue yield. The increase from 12 1-2 per cent, as provided by the house, to 15 per cent tax on incomes of corpora tions made, by, the senate, it is said, will almost cover the loss, of $80,000, 000 resulting from; the repeal of the capital stock taxes and the $18,000, 000 loss from the reduction of sur taxes. One of the eleventh-hour pro visions adopted Saturday by the com mittee was an amendment by Sen ator Calder of New York, imposing a tax of $6.40 a gallon on all distilled spirits withdrawn from bond, ex cept that used in manufacturing. Cal der declared his amendment would raise between $60,000,000 and $S0,. 000,000 a year, as he said about 90 per cent of alcohol withdrawn is di verted for beverage purposes. Calder announced that he will submit an amendment imposing a tax of $5 a barrel on 2.75 beer when the bill goes iu uic Beimic. xuc iuiiiimii.ee ttuupicu It an amendment providing for a tax of 10 per cent on hotel rooms in excess of $5 a day for one person and $8 day for two persons. Chairman Penrose declared that this tax will be paid by hotels and not by guests. Important items repealed in the bill, include: Retail sales taxes on propri etary medicines; policy taxes on life insurance and premium taxes on oth er insurance companies on next Jan uary 1, and taxes on soft drinks sold at soda fountains.

Fifty-eight .cot ton mills in 37 towns from Virginia to middle Carolina will be forced to go on a half time operation,-beginning tomorrow because of a lack of powar. The mills are supplied current oy the Carolina Light & Power com pany, of this city, and due to the low water in the Pee Dee river, have been running for the past two weeks only four and a half days , weekly. Tonight, with the water condition growing more acute, the mills were notified that power could oe iurnisn ed only for three days weekly. How long this condition will last depends upon how long the power company must wait for rain or relief from the Southern Power company.

That axation will take precedence over the tariff in the senate is now conceded. Senators returning from "back dome" report that the people appear much more interested in taxation reform than in tariff revision and the tariff will be side tracked in response popular demand for immediate action on taxes. Senator Simmons, ranking Demo crat of the finance commute, - who . s now at his home in New Bern, will return to Washington about Thursday to make a minority report on the tax ation bill.
