Raise Child Exemption
To $500, Roosevelt Urges
Children an Asset to the State
Don't Penalize the Parents,
He Argues
From staff Correspondent

ALBANY, Feb. t.-Children are ar
asset to the state and parents of the
state should not be penalized for hav-
ing children.
Assemhlyman Theodore Roosevelt, of
Oyster Bay, to-day made this asser-
tion to the members Of the Assembly
Committee on Taxation and Retrench-
ment in the course of hearing on his
bill which would grant an exemption
of $500 for each dependent child under
the income tax law as against the pres
ent allowance of $500.
"Unless you grant a greater exemp-
tion for children than the one now
provided" he said, "you will continue
on the statute books law which will
run counter to the Biblical decree to
increase and multiply. Lack Of proper
exemption or allowance for children
in the payment of income taxes vir-
tually places premium on childhood. y
The Halperin bill, allowing single
persons income tax exemption of ST.
600 instead of $1,000 and married per-
sons $4,000 instead of $4,000, also was
up for hearing.
Both measures were opposed by
State Tax Commissioner John j. Mer-
rill and representatives of the State
Conference of Mayors and various real
estate organizations.
