Tax Bill Section
Validity Queried
Constitution Issue Raised
on Special Treatment
of Burdened Firms
WASHINGTON, April 25.-UP-
The constitutionality of one phase
of the S803.000.000 tax bill was
questioned in the senate finance
committee today as administration
pilots sought to avoid clashes with
the -house that might delay ad
journments e. congress' until late
in June.., ...
Senator Bailey (D-NC) Injected
the constitutional issue into the
finance committee's tax studies In
connection with provisions in the
house bill for special treatment
for debt -ridden corporations.
Chairman Harrison (D-Miss) im
mediately Jumped to their de
fense.
My own opinion," ; Harrison
told reporters, "is that It ia mere
ly a question of classification, and
congress certainly has the right to
classify these rates of taxes and
give' certain credits to debt-burdened
corporation."
Different classifications and
rates, he said, were worked into a
graduated corporation Income tax
in laat year's revenue bin.
The bill, now being debated by
the house, would provide a flat
22 per cent rate on income
which corporations are required
by contract to apply to debts. A
corporation without contract but
nevertheless compelled to use
earnings to retire obligations, like
wise would have the 22 Vs per cent
rate. But It conld not obtain the
rate on an amount In any one year
greater than one-fifth of Its stand
ing debt. . ;
