NO TAX REFORM BY
PRESENT CONGRESS
Prmises Made BY G. o. p. Leaders
To Revise War Revenue Scheme
Will Not Be Kept.

Will Not Be Kept.
Washington. d. Secretary of
the House Ways and Means Commit
tee, has put at the disposal of the
committee every expert in the Treas
ury Department in an effort to either
induce or force some revision of
revenue legislation during this SEES
sion of Congress, and has expressed
a Willingness to aid in any way to
bring about taxation reform.
Despite This latest endeavor, it is
apparent the Ways and Means Com
mittee will do nothing at this SEES
sion of Congress.
The decision of Republican lead
ers to refrain from removing the in
CAPABILITIES which crept into taxation
legislation during the stress and
strain of war will mean that not I'M
til 1922 will the country be relieved
OF these burdens. When Congress
meets again next November, there
will be an expressed desire TO await
the recommendations of the new
President in the following March.
Then the subject will be debated at
length, and the taxable returns, I'M
der a revised schedule, cannot be
made applicable until the 1922 taxa
ton period.
Under existing conditions. it
would require not more than one
week of work on the part of Con-
gress to remove from the law at least
some of the inequalities. Pointing
out how much needless trouble is
caused taxpayers and the injury
business suffers, Secretary Houston
said:
Completely in tax laws violates
the most fundamental canon of taxa
ton, that the liability shall be GER
tain and definite. II is not merely
a source of irritation, labor and ex-
pense TO the taxpayers, but when CO.
joined as it is in the present law,
with the heavy rates of taxation
which war eXigency has forced upon
us, it becomes major menace,
threatening enterprise with heavy
but indefnable future obligations,
generating a cloud of old claims and
potential back taxes which fill the
taxpayers with dread, creating, to be
sure, an attractive source of addit-
ional revenue, but clogging the ad-
ministrative machinery and threat
ening. in deed, its possible break
down"
Every source of trouble could be
removed by three or four simple
amendments to the present legisla-
ton, Secretary Houston believes.
