The Omaha Sunday Bee 5 f -A VOL. 51 NO. 23. Conferees Decide on Tax Rate - f Corporations 'Subjected to 12 1-2 Per Cent Levy In stead of 15 Per Cent as ; Provided ly Senate. Will Reduce Revenues thlraco Trlbunft-Omahft B Liwil Hire. Washington, Nov. 19. Corpora tion will be mbject to a flat income tax of 12 12 per cent, beginning . with income of the calendar year 1922, under an agreement reached to day by the senate and house con ferees on the revenue bill. The conferees approved the rate as provided in the bill originally passed by the house instead of IS per cent rate in the , senate bill. This action was taken at the insistence of the house conferees, who argued that corporations should not be required to bear a heavier tax. The 12 1-2 per cent flat tax will be a substitute for the 10 per cent normal tax and ex cess profits tax provided under the present law. It will mean a considerable re duction in taxation for corporations with large earnings which have been iubject to the excess profits tax, but an increase, for these which have not had earnings sufficiently large to be subject to the excess profits taxes. Means "Cut in Revenues. By approving the 12 1-2 per cent tax, the conferees deliberately cut the probable revenues below the amount which the treasury had es timated to be necessary to meet ex penditures. While the reduction from 15 to 121-2 per cent will not affect revenues during the fiscal year 1922, it will mean an eventual loss of $130, 000,000 annually from the amount which would have been yielded under the senate bill. The bill, as passed by the senate, was estimated to raise $3,242,730,000 during the fiscal year 1922, which is $30,000,0.00 less than the amount which the treasury officials said would be raised from internal taxa tion. This bill as agreed to by the con ferees may result in a deficit of at least $60,000,000 during the fiscal year 1922 and probably will raise less than $2,550,000,000 in the fiscal year 1923.. . ; , , . Amendment Approved. The conferees approved the senate amendment which provides that the $2,000 corporation income tax ex empjon shall apply only in the case of corporations whose net income is $25,000 'or Jess. '" The conferees struck out the Wadsworth amendment, added in the senate, which imposed new taxes oil medicinal beers, wine and whis ky. ,". All of the republican conferees except Senator Smoot of Utah signed the conference report. Senator Smoot, whose plan for a sales tax was rejected, said he was not con vinced that the bill would raise suf ficient revenue. He intends to ex press his views on. the measure on the floor of the senate. The demo crats also did not sign the report. The conference report will be brought up in the house Monday un der an agreement providing for four or five hours of debate. Although the report had not been entirely drafted tonight, Representative Ford ncy. chairman of the house ways and means committee, obtained per mission from the house to file it by midnight tomorrow night, under date of today. This will make pos sible its consideration Monday, The leaders" hope the senate will approve the conference report not later than Wednesday, making final adjournment of the session possible on that day..

A little girl friend had been with her on this occasion, and she was less frightened. Now she was alone. Her baby sister's safety depended on her. She tip-toed her way to the kitchen. The noise below continued. In the kitchen stood her father's shotgun. She had always avoided tne gun. It was so big and heavy, and made such a deafening noise when it was discharged. .

She pulled back one of the hammers of the gun as she had often seen her father do, cautiously opened the kitchen door and stepped out into the night. Emerging from the basement door, not more than 10 feet from her, sha saw a dark figure. Her little body was tense as she raised the gun. The report of the gun deefened her. She saw the cark figure stum $8,000 Mortgage On Temple Israel Publicly Burned . Last Encumbrance on Church Edifice Destroyed as Part -Of Golden Jubilee . -Celebration.

Eleven Mourners On Way Back From Funeral Killed Train Running il0 Miles an Hour Strikes Automobile , " At Grade Crossing -Bodies Strewn for Mile. Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee Leased Win-, Chicago, 111., Nov. "19. Creeping thrdugh a blinding snowstorm, ' re turning from a funeral, a touring car carrying 13 relatives of Myrtle Zim inzian, who had just teen- buried, was struck by the Santa Fe-Califor nia Limited train, running 60 miles an hour, and 11 of the occupants of the funeral car were killed. The car was smashed to splinters and por tions of the bodies strewn for near ly a mile. Ten of the victims were instantly killed. Another died soon after being taken to a hospital and one other victim ' will hot survive. The im pact from the two heavy locomotives was so violent that the largest part ot the wrecked automobile that could be found, was a rear tire. The hearse had crossed the track and was closely followed by the fu neral car. It was squarely across the tracks when a long train, pulled by two locomotives, roared arouhd a sharp curve. A third funeral car was 100 feet in the rear of the one demolished, but the driver could not see it. He heard a crash, but could see nothing because of the storm. He drove across the tracks, but there was ho sign of the grim trage dy that had just been enacted, and the occupants of his car continued to their homes, ignorant of what had happened. One of the marvelous incidents of the affair is the escape of Mrs. John Chrusek, whose husband and son were killed. She was carried many yards and hurled into a snow-filled ravine and escaped without a scratch. Badly dazed, she was helped to her home, but soon regained her senses and returned to claim the bodies of her husband and son. Her second son was so badly injured that he will die. The crossing is on a lonely road near Summit, 111., and a number of abandoned stone quarries and huge piles of rock obscure the view of the railroad tracks in either direction.

The aim of ' thd McKelvie economic probe, which opens in Lincoln Mon day, will be to discover the size of the profits of men who handle the necessities of life from the source of production until a smiling clerk says "thank you" and collects the final cost from the consumer. "The commodities considered will be limited largely to food and other necessities entering into the cost of living," Leo Stuhr, chairman of the investigation committee, said today. "If it is considered advisable to ex tend this investigation to include hearings relative to wages paid to labor, freight rates, rents or taxes, such hearings will be held. "If this is done an effort will be made to consider each subject as a special investigation to bring out the facts germane to the subject so that conclusions may be made, and, if possible, remedies suggested. "In fairness to all concerned it should be understood that anyone being subpoened to appear as a wit ness at any of the hearings does not in any way intimate that he may have been a law violator or that he may be suspected of any irregulari ties in conduct of his business." r New Rail Commodity Schedules Cancelled Washington, Nov. 19.

America's attitude is awaited by the Chinese. It is known that Secre tary Hughes examined the proposals before they were presented in com mittee and it is expected that at the ritrht moment he will come forward with a clear statement as to how far America will back China up.

Japan's formal statement,' made after instructions from Tokio, is im portant, not only in what it con-' ceded, but what is left unsaid.
