WOULD CHANGE THE
INCOME TAX LAWS
McADOG SAYS THEY SHOULD BE
EXTENDED so AS 20 REACH
MANY THOUSAND MORE.

Washington, Dec. 10.-Radical chang
es in the income tax to reach thou
sands not now subject to its provisions
and 10 improve the machinery of col
lection were suggested to Congress to-
day in the annual report of Secretary
McAdoo as means by which the great
er part of the additional revenue need
ed to pay for the administration ma
tiOnal defense plans can be provided
The Secretary proposed to lower the
exemption limits so as to tax married
persons with incomes as low as $4,000
and single persons with $4,000 in
comes. The exemptions now are
$4,000 and $4,000 respectively.
Increases in the collection force,
requirement that returns must be
made of gross income in place of net
income, and change so that the tax
shall not be withheld at the source,
were among Mr.. McAdoo's other sug-
gestions. He made no estimate of the
number of persons who might be taxed
if the amendments were adopted nor
the amount that might be expected,
a larger collection force he pointed
out that examination of the past per-
sonal and corporation returns showed
that 63 per cent of those inspected dis
closed that additional tax was due the
government. On the basis of the
examinations, the Secretary says that
apparently more than $4,600,00 in per-
sonal tax and more than $20,S9l 900
in corporation tax still is due the gov
eminent.
Many inaccurate returns are made"
said the report, "some deliberately and
some ignorantly, and there are with
out doubt, wholesale evasiOns of the
law throughout the country. 1t is alb
solutely certain that the Government
is losing through inaccurate returns
and evasions of the law a sum many
times greater than the cost of the
necessary field force to investigate
and check the returns and to bring to
account those who are failing to make
returns as required by law"
In keeping with his recent announce
ment Mr.. McAdoo suggested the pres
ent stamp tax and the existing duty
on raw sugar should be retained in
force and said again that no issue Of
bonds is necessary either to provide
for current expenses or in anticipation
of added burdens incident to a policy
of military preparedness.
