FIGHT TO BE RENEWED Spirited Tilts Accompany Effort to LstublUn Piatt Rate' of 60 Per Cent aud Graduated , Scale Will Be Attacked. i 1 c T T T - j -T--.T . . T rt n r I r. , succession today the Senate bowled over by overwhelming majorities three . more proposals irvm nit? etors seeking to increase the levies on ; war profits in the 'tax bill. An amendment oy senator iouis to -tax war profits only at higher rates, ' but to strike out the finanue commit tee's new clause levying 1428,000,000 was rejected. 67 to 18. Then, without . -i 1 . V... T VAllatta r tto raise not lens than SI, 800,000.000 on J war profits, was beaten. 60 to 18. The minimum flat rate proposal of 60 per Senator Hollls was voted down. 62 to 18. HlBh Turn to Bnw Klgrltt. T With these setbacks, the fight to sub stitute a flat rate for the graduated .system of the excess war profits section -virtually ended and the contest entered ' a new stage. Before the final yote on the war profits section, set for late tomorrow, the high tax faction plans "an effort to raise, the graduated rates now in the bill.' . . Today's session was marked by spir ited tilts in the last stand of the high tax advocates to impose a flat general ,rate on war profits. The group still hopes to increase the tax levy by rais ing the graduated rates, but finance committee leaders are confident that if the bill will stand as now written : providing for a levy of about one-third 'on war profits, or an Increase of 11,- 060.000,000 over the present revenue of 'le.ooo.Qoo. Senators Hollis and Kenyon led the ..discussion for the high taxers, with Senator Smoot leading the defense of the finance committee's draft. A bill ' totaling $4,000,000,000 was urged by Senator Hollis, who insisted there should be a flat levy of at least CO per cent on war profits. Senator Kenyon scored the Senate for voting down the increases pro posed. He spoke of "treasonable prof its" and said inadequate conscription of wealth and imposition of irritating consumption taxes on the masses of the people would be responsible for unpopularity of the bill. Profits Expected Escape. Senator Pmoot attacked the Hollls plan to exempt normal but extremely f large excess profits from taxation, as - serting many millions of ordinary cor- -porate earnings would escape taxation by the proposal In the three votes today the high tax r faction both gained and lost support ers, its highest record of SO votes w imide yesterday on the 70 per cent war profits tax proposal of Senator La Fol lelte. Division of sentiment In its own ranks regarding the smaller flat rates afld excess profits taxation today - caused slight losses Senators Chamberlain. Kendrick. Myers and Phelan were new members registered on the side of those seek. ing to amend the bill. Senators Cham berlain. .Myers and Phelan voted to tax war profits alone at higher rates and exempt ordinary excess proftts. Senator Kendrick supported the final minimum SO per cent proposal of Sena tor Hollis. On the latter Senators Borah and Trammel? voted with the majority because the bill contained a $0 per cent maximum provision, In the shifting of the contest several graduated amendments Senators I .a. Follette. Gore. Brady. Kenyon and others had pending were not offered. Tomorrow Senator Hollis has a plan for a flat increase of 10 per cent in all the rates, estimated to-raise M0O.0O0. 00(r additional, and to make the gross war profits levy about 11.700,000,000. independence of their governments.
