Proposes Excess Profits Revision. Taft proposed that the Senate committee revise the House-approved method of figuring the excess profits tax on corporations. The House voted to permit corporations that elected to use the invested capital method of determining this tax to make 8 per cent profit on the first five million of capitalization before the excess profits levy would apply. It approved, a graduated scale for higher capitalizations, permitting 7 per cent profit between five and 10 million, 6 per cent from that point to 200 million and 5 pe; cent for all exceeding that Taft said he could see no reason for "discrimination" between the taxes paid by stockholders in smaller and large corporations, proposing that the profit level for all above ttve million capitalization be made 5 per cent, after which the excess profit tax of 90 per cent would apply.
