also seems certain The present meas
ure. which allows an exemption Of
50 900 and taxes net earnings Of cor
porations i'm excess OF : per cent an
nually. at the rate Of per cent, is de
signed to yield S226.OOO.OOO annually
Experts have recently been studying
somewhat similar methods Of taxation
in Great Britain and France and a
parallel measure in effect in Canada
which imposes taxes up to % per cent
on net earnings.
One estimate is that the government
could obtain Sl,000,000,000 annually
from this source instead Of the 1926,
100000 contemplated under the present
law.
Other proposals include increased
taxation on whiskey, beer and tobacco
and revision of the estates tax.
CarfT To BE Unchanged
On one point the Republicans agree
with the Democrats. There IS little
sentiment for changes in the tar'f.
Republican Leader Mann has taken
the position that the additional none!
should all be raised by the sale O.
bonds. He has substantial following
in this view. but il seems to be ftr
from a majority. Representative Lone
worth believes that there should be d
liberal increase in taxation, so as TO
avoid saddlinG all the war costs on pos
terity. This position is shared b.
Chairman Simmons, Of the Senate
Finance Committee. which VIII prom
ably rewrite the bill after II passes
the House and before il is submitted
to the Senate Mr.. Simmons thinks all
the increase in civil expenditures OccG-
stoned by the war, should be paid for
by additional taxation, and enough
more should be raised by taxation to
pay the interest and sinking fund 20
retire the war bonds within reason
able time after the close Of the war.
Wealth to BE Hard Hit.
There is no doubt that the new tax
lcvies hit wealth much harder than II
has ever been hit before in this coun-
try.
There will not be much opposition 70
this, providing that the men whose
views are expressed by Underwood ard
Longworth are placated by reducing
the income tax exemptions. over thus
reduction, however. a tremendous hght
is expected in both houses.
81 think every income Of 81 600 a
year or more should pay its bit in this
emergency" said Mr.. Longworth o-day.
"Thc present income tax is paid b.
less than onc-half Of one per cent OF the
people. Such a plan does not en-
courage patriotism or responsi ibillty.
The exemption should be reduced. pei,
haps not so far as it has been reduced
abroad but far enough so that most OF
our people, so to speak. would have
stake in the war.
"Also a reasonable percentage Of the
money 10 carry on the war should he
raised by taxation. ! do not approve
of saddling the entire cost Of the war
on posterity. This would be the re-
suit II it were entirely paid out of the
proceeds of a bond issue"
