Nuisance Taxes
Main Subject of
Debate in Senate
Democrats Charge Plan to
Strip Measure to Make Nec
essary AJoptioa of Gen
eral Salei Levy.
Washington, Nov, 1 .Luxury snd
nuitancei taxes held the center of
the icntte iUk today and tonight,
with party tin obliterated, So many
of thii clat of exric were voted out
of the revenue bill that the charge
waa made from the democratic aide
that there was movement afoot to
atrip the measure to make nccemry
adoption of a general aalea tax.'
Thii wat denied by Senator Pen
rote, in charge of the bill, who said
it waa not the time to bring forward
a talea tax. He enured the senate
that even if all the itenta pronoicd
for repeal went out of the bill, there
would be a margin of $10,000,000
between the government Income and
1 tie aalea tax discussion waa ac
cepted as notice of the fight that is
to come when Senator Smoot, re
publican, Utah, brings up his propos
al for such a tax, probably Thurs
day. He introduced two modified
and alternate aalcs tax plans. One
proposes a 1 per cent levy on all
manufactured goods where sales ex
ceed $6,000 a year, and the other
proposes a general turnover tax of
one-half of I per cent where the sales
exceed $6,000.
Cut Corporation Tax.
Senator Smoot previously had of
fered an amendment providing a
general manufacturers' sales tax of 3
per cent with certain exemptions,
this to be in lieu of alt miscellaneous
taxes. His new plans would replace
many miscellaneous excises and
would provide for a 10 per cent tax
on corporations in place of the IS
per cent tentatively agreed upon by
the senate. -
It is understood to be his plan to
offer his amendments one by one
with the view of testing senate, sen
timent on each.
The Smoot amendments are ex
pected to meet stiff opposition.
The senate confined its operations
largely to the subject matter in the
bill, renewal of the soldiers bonus
first being deferred until tomorrow.
Senator Reed, democrat, ' Missouri,
expects to reply to a statement is
sued by Chairman Fordney of the
house ways and means committee,
who said the Reed amendment for
the bonus coming at this time would
"undoubtedly create suspicion in the
minds of the veterans and of the
senator'a sincerity.
"Very early in the coming regular
session of congress," he said, "the
house will undoubtedly pass an ad
justed compensation bill."
Taxes Stricken Out
Luxury and nuisance taxes
stricken from the bill by the senate,
included those on articles made of
fur, toilet soaps and soap powders,
tooth and mouth washes, dentistries,
tooth paste, toilet powders, and
petroleum oil, electric fans, thermos
and thermostatic bottles and photo
graphic apparatus and accessories.
Taxes retained included: Photo
graphic films' and plates other than
, moving picture films, 5 per cent;
candy. 3 per cent for all kinds, in
lieu of the present rate of 4 pet Cent!
perfumes, essences, extracts, toilet
waters, cosmetics, hair oils, hair oil
dressings, restoratives, dyes, etc., 4
per cent in lieu of present stamp
taxes; firearms, shells and' cart
. ridges, hunting and bowie knives,
dirk knives, daggers, - cigar and
cigaret holders and pipes, hiimidors
and smoking stands, hunting and
shooting garments and riding habits,
liveries and livry boots and hats
and automatic slot device weighing
machines, 10 per cent; yachts and
motor boats not designed for trade,
fishing or national defense and
pleasure boats and pleasure canoes,
if sold for more than $100, 10 per
cent; automatic - slot vending ; ma
chines, 5 per cent.;
