Income Tax Bill
Has Hectic Day
in Lower House
Jacolit Measure Advanced to
Third Reading, Then Re
turned to Committee—De
hate Lasted Two Hours
Lincoln, Fob. 25.—(Special.)—Fol
lowing a two-hour debate, the lower
bouse advanced the Jacoby excess
profits, or income tax, bill to third
reading by a vote of ID to 40.
Hardly had the final vote been an
nounced, when those otiposed to the
bill moved to return it to the commit
tee on revenue and taxation for furth
er amendments. This motion carried
by a raising vote. 47 to 42, over
Jacoby’s protest.
“Goodbye bill,” Jacoby shouted
after the vote was announced on the
motion to refer the measure back to
committee.
Tells of Profits.
.Jacoby. In urging advancement of
the bill, told of hundreds of thous
ands made in Nebraska by the Stand
ard Oil company and other large cor
porations, emphasizing alleged ex
orbitant profits pouring into coffers
of sugar beet manufacturers In west
ern and northwestern Nebraska.
•‘If that bill passes, it means the
added taxes put on the corporations
will he taken from the people the
same as high railroad taxes are
wrung from the people." Unrb, chair
man of the revenue committee, said.
"We don't tax profits of railroads,
we tax their property,” Jacoby r»
torted.
The charge was made that if the
hill passed it would drive new indu»
tries from the state.
"That's old stuff.'- Jacoby replied.
Subterfuge Is Charged.
Vfter the motion to advance carried
and the motion to refer the bill back
to the committee was made, Jacoby
charged it was a subterfuge to kill
the bill.
"That committee killed the hill once
ahd it. is still opposed to It and will
slip in some Joker or hold the bill
until it is too late to get action,"
lacoby said. "I had to lift the bill
over the committee's recommendation
to indefinitely postpone it once.”
"t deny that statement,” Lamb
said, ‘‘if the souse is ready for this
bill, we want to scan it carefully and
put it in good shape.”
Amendments Accepted.
Before the hill was considered this
afternoon, Jacoby offered a few
amendment*,, which were accepted.
The measures, as advanced and re
ferred back to the committee, pro
vides. briefly the following: All cor
imrations with a capital Investment
under $100,000 exempt. Alt corpora
tions with a capital in excess of that
amount shall be assessed 10 per cent
nf their net profits, after the first 10
per cent of the net profits Is de
ducted: If a corporation receives net
profits In excess of 40 per cent. It
must pay 20 per cent on the excess
of the 40 per cent.

„sentntive Strehlow, Omaha, repuh
lican, attempted unsuccessfully t"
have the Bryan executive eouncit
bills placed in a separate committee
and taken from the judiciary com
mittee.
Strehlow asserted that the judiciary
committee was overworked and they
could not give tiie bills the considera
tion they demanded. T. B. Itysart,
chairman of the judiciary committee,
denied tho Ktrehhjw statement and
asserted tin- Bryan bills would have
every possible consideration.
Others pointed out that all bills
having to do with modification or
change of Lite present form of gov
ernment had been referred to the
judiciary committee and that the
Bryan bills having to do with the
same subject should also tie con
sidered by the judiciary.
"There’s nothing to this motion by
Mr. Strehlow excepting an attempt
to get his name in the newspapers," j
Representative Gallagher said.
Strehlow wanted the committee on
committees to name a new commit- j
tee for the consideration of these j
measures.
