Revenue Bill is
Advanced With
Many Changes
Democrats Attempt to' Obtain
Income Tax Provision
. Scored for in One Ward
Consistencies. . . . .
Lincoln, April 15. (Special Tele
gram.) The lower house of the Ne
braska legislature stood like a stone
wall today behind the committee
amendments to senate file 65, which
eliminated the tax on intangibles,
average capital, franchise, municipal
bond, railroad and sleeping car taxes.
Every amendment was adopted by
tht house and when adjournment
time arrived the members were ready
for motion advancing the deleted
tax bill to third reading.
Representative George Williams
asked that advancement of the meas
ure be delayed until Monday as he
would be absent tomorrow. It is
not known whether his request will
be complied with.
Urges Income Tax.
Representative Theodore Oster
j.mniriiii flnnr leader, held
Miail, UVinuti ' " ' -
out the democratic prescription for
the taxation ailment oi iNeDra.Ms. m
the form of an amendment which
called for an income tax. Osterman s
amendment directed the committee
on taxation and revenue to draft an
income tax law, which, he claimed,
was the only equitable method of
garnering in the elusive dollars
which the state wants.
Osterman talked for an hour on
his "pet" and then it was voted down,
81 to 19, by a house admittedly tired
and ready to go home on the first
train. The vote showed that the
democrats and nonpartisan leaguers
are continuing to carry on their flirta
tion which has become noticeable in
the closing days of the session.
Representative James Rodman de
fended the amended bill turned out
by the committee. He declared that
with the reassessment power, which
the bill placed in the hands of the
tax commissioner, that the state
would be enabled to unearth millions
of dollars of elusive taxable property
"now tax-free in the metropolis of
Nebraska."
Democrats Scored.
Other speakers scored the demo
crats for alleged inconsistency on the
intangible tax propositoin. Osterman,
Hoffmeister and Bock, all democrats
were bitter during the morning m
jumping on the committe for elimi
nating the 4-mill intangible tax prop-
0S,1'They were all bitterly opposed to
it when it looked as though we might
put a 4-mill levy 014 the intangibles
and now they are opposed to our
action in taking the tax off intan
gibles," Representative George Will
iams, chairman of the house commit
tee on revenue and taxation, said.
Representative Good of Peru en
deavored to havffi an amendment
adopted uniting the office ot secre
tary of finance, and revenue and the
state tax commission. ( The amend
ment was voted down. r?
