approved by the finance committee or

HOUSTON TO PROPOSE
ADJUSTMENT OF THE
EXCESS. PROFITS TAX
Will Suggest Graduated In

000,000,000 Bill

Washington. Nov. Z. (By the Assoc!a-
ted PreSS.)-The nation will face a con-
tinuation Of the annual tax bill OF four
billion dollars for period Of at least
three years. II congress adopts recon-
mendations drafted by treasury officials
and which. 1t was understood tonight,
have been laid before Secretary Houston
tor approval.
Mr.. Houston. It was stated. probably
Will include such recommendations -
the form Of an analysis Of the govern
ments financial condition In his forth.
coming annual report TO congress. The
analysis Will show, and accompanying
recommends tions will suggest. 1t was
said, that three year program for tax
revision is required in order to meet ma
turing government obligations and cover
current federal expenses.
Approximately eight billion dollars in
victory notes. war savings securities and
treasury certificates of Indebtedness will
he due for payment within the next
three years. treasury figures show. Re-
tention Of tho present aggregate level
OF taxes or maintenance OF tho annual
revenue Of tho government at about four
billion dollars thon is held to be hn-
avoidable on the face OF average expend!-
lures estimated for the period.
Recommendations to be made by Mr..
Houston, II Is understood, will propose
adjustment OF tho excess profit taxes
in their entirety and the substitution
therefore Of graduated income tax Of
a substantially deeper cut than under
present revenue laws. 1t was believed
tho now income taxes would apply only
to incomes above $4,000 annually and
that provision would be made Sor n grad
ual increase even on the additional tax
as the amount OF income grows larger.
Economy Necessary.
Tho secretary Is expected to advise
congress that tho strictest economy In
federal appropriations Is necessary IL
tho program outlined on the basis OF a
four billion dollar tax bill Is to be ac-
compllshed. He said that there was no
way to estimate with any degree of ac-
curacy what even the present laws would
yield in revenue because OF tho rapidly
changing conditions in business as q re-
suit Of after-the-war transition and re-
adjustment. Mr.. Houston'S view of this
was said to be that tax receipts would
be materially lower later In the present
that therefore the government income
under the present revenue laws would
not be taken as basis for calculating
future receipts.
This attitude. which Is hold also by
practically all treasury officials having
TO do with tax collections forecasts
task of great difficulty for the trainers
Of the new revenue act. Tho treasury
will insist strongly on Legislation which
would produce four billions for the next
year, but tho ways and means of getting
II will be left to congress except for tho
suggestions contained in the trcasury'S
report In fact, the tax law trainers will
be informed that there Is no alternative
to voting a revenue act, that will pro-
duce tho required amount.
