NO CUT IN TAX FOR
YEAR, SECRETARY SAYS

By The Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 3-No appre-
ciable reduction in taxes for the next
fiscal year is to be thought of, Sec
rotary Glass declared in his annual re-
port sent today to Congress. Govern
ment receipts must be kept at their
present figure, he said, in order to
bring government borrowing to an
end.
Facing expenditures estimated at
S5,6 ,4S6. 1859 for the year ending
June 80, 1920 and $4,47S,696,358 for
the year ending June 80, 1921, the
government must enforce rigid econ
omy, Mr.. Glass declared. He placed
the deficit for the current year at 49,
sos, 600, 900 and for the year ending
June 80. 1921, at approximately ST.
COS, 900, 000.
On this basis, Mr.. Glass urged Con-
gress to deny every appropriation
for expenditure in new fields" He
said the same policy should obtain
until the government had its sinking
fund well under way n repayment
of the war debt satisfactorily be-
gum"
Mr. Glass charged that excessive
government expenditures were the
most vital factors" in increasing the
cost of living and argued that it was
urgently ne~cessary-to keep down pub
lie expenses for this reason as well
as because of the drain on the tax
payers.
The present revenue laws need re-
vising to meet new conditions, he said
He referred particularly to the excess
profits tax laws which he described
as being Objectionable ever as a
wartime e%xpedient." 1t would be
still more Objectionable in peace
time, he added. LESS harmful
forms " of deriving funds for the gov
eminent should be employed, the sec
rotary said, adding that the excess
profits tax had been responsible for
much of the increase in living costs
because it had been passed on to the
consumer.
TT encourages wasteful expendi-
lures, puts a premium on over-capi-
talization and a penalty on brains"
the secretary continued. 1T discour-
ages new ventures n new enterpris-
es and establishes old ventures IN
their monopolies. In many instances,
1t acts as a consumption tax, is added
to the cost of production upo which
profits are figured, determining prices
1t has been and will, so long as it
remains on the statute books. con-
tinue to be a material factor in he
increased cost of living"
In this connection, Mr.. Glass also
urged redrafting of the revenue laws
to prevent the evasion of federal
taxes through the investment of
wealth in the obligations of states and
municipalities. He said laws should
be enacted which would compel the
reporting of such incomes, although
they are wholly tax exempt, and that
that sum with other income of an in
dividual should be computed as the
basis for assessing federal taxes on
the amount derived from taxable
sources.
