WASHINGTON, Dec. S.-Secretary
of the Treasury Houston today asked
congress to boost the federal income
tax rate two percent on incomes
under $4,000. Houston at the same
time asked that:
Surtaxes be lowered on some in
comes over $4,000. .
Corporations made to pay fiat
tax of twenty percent on undivided
profits.
Big increases be made in existing
consumers taxes on tobacco, cigars,
cigarettes, candy. chewing gum and
the like.
Gasoline be taxed two cents per
gallon and automobiles fifty cents
per horse power.
/ Houston's proposals were contained
in his annual report presented to
Speaker Gillett of the house at noon
and are intended to net the govern
ment approximately s2,000,0O00OO a
wear. That part of the report deal
ing with taxation was intended as
guide to congress in passing new
revenue laws to take the place of
those enacted during the war period
sufficient revenue for the govern
ment, according to the secretary.
At least $4,000 100000 must be
collected during the next three years,
Houston declared, if the government
is to pay it's ordinary expenses and
meet $500, 100000 worth OF floating
debts and Victory notes before May
/, 1923.
hn
repeal of which business men are de-
manding, Houston wrote:
"The excess profits tax, however
must be replaced, not merely repeal
ed and believe it should be replaced
J in large part by some form of cor
poration profits tax"
The twenty percent tax on undi
yided profits of corporations is Hous
tons proposal for replacement. The
corporations now are escaping with
a single tax of ten percent, he said
while individuals and partners are
4 obliged to pay s,rrtaXes ranging uE
to IS and 70 percent on incomes over
$4,000
The lower surtax rates on incomes
slightly more than $4,000 a year
would be increased by Houston.
The secretary also recommended
abolition Of the present consumers
tax on ice cream and similar luxuries
and urged against "radicaf' use o1
the general sales tax.
Houston presented this summary tc
show what his plan Of tax revision
would yield the government in addl
ton to the money now collected:
Normal income tax, S15O,940,ooo
Through increasing rates from anc
per cent to and II per cent
Readjusted surtaxes, $3.50, 600 Oco.

WASHINGTON, Dec. S.-President
Wilson's recommendations to con
gress are to be dismissed with scant
attention by republican leaders. they
made plain today in informal discus
sion of the message read to the two
houses yesterday.
The republicans said, in effect,
that while they agree with Wilson
that the reconstruction job should be
tackled and finished as soon as pos
sible, there is no hope of agreeing
with him as to the methods to be fol-
lowed.
One exception was noted in the
general rejection Of the president S
request for immediate action This
was the budget bill, which is sched-
uled to pass the senate soon and go
to Wilson.
Tax revision will be deferred.
There is a strong feeling that some
thing should be done for the disabled
soldiers and sailors, but that, too,
will have to wait, according to pres
ent plans. Governmental economy
cannot be brought about fully until
governmental reorganization is ac-
complished under the next admins
tration, leaders maintained.
The recommendation for loan to
Armenia was secuted on all sides.
There is wide variance of opinion
regarding Philippine Independence.
The laws Wilson has twice asked to
regulate storage again will fail to
pass, it declared. His proposal to
license all concerns doing an inter
state business was greeted by repub-
Hcans and many democrats with the
condemnation that it was "socialis-
tic" or "paternalistic"
