are others who argue that thefixing of a minimum of any figure witresult In unfair discrimination andfurthermore many of the championof tho proposition to tax Incomes talethe position that It will require tinto work out a satisfactory plan toreach corporations

Added to all these complications Is

the fact that estimates of possible revenues from a tax on Incomes differ tosuch an extent that the whole Idea Isplaced by many in tho realm of exporl merit

ed to produce revenueMembers of the finance committee

declare that tho Payne bill as amendcd by the committee will yield sumcleat revenues for the operating expenses of the government-

If tho truth of this statement is est-

ablished it will turn a number ofvotes away from the income taxamendment unless the bill Is materially amended so as to reduce the rateon necessaries and likewise the revcanes from imports on all such articlesos to offset the collections that wouldbo mado upon Incomes
