Democratic Constructive Tax
Amendments

The proposed Democratic amend
ments to the pending tax bill were
presented to the pending tax bill were
presented by Senator Simmons of
North Carolina, in an enlightening
speech dealing with the repeal or
modification of existing taxes and the
imposition of new taxes. The pro-
gram as stated by him is as follows:
~ To increase the corporate income
taxes, making the maximum range
from IL IL per cent to % per cent,
instead of fiat rate of Is per cent,
estimated to raise from $50, 900, 900 to
$70,000,000 additional revenue.
To retain the capital stock tax on
corporations, which it is proposed to
repeal, estimated to yield about $751;
100000.
To repeal the $4,000 exemption on
corporate incomes.
To confne individual, exemptions to
$4,000 in case of incomes below $780,
600 and above $4,000, estimated to
yield $15,O0O,00O.
To restore the surtax to a maxi
mum of 81 per cent on incomes in ex-
cess of 100000, estimated to yield
ABOUT $50, 900, 2S&
Repeal of the transportation tax.
Senator Simmons declared that the
tax bill should not be made party OF
sectional question, but that it should
be bill fair in the distribution of the
tax burden; that would raise suffi-
cient revenue and contribute to the
relief of business and industry.

WASHINGTON LETTER

Washington, Oct. 10.-The fiscal
policy of this administration is the
rock upon which the Republican party
is splitting in Congress and upon
which it will continue to split
throughout the nation if the admins.
tration plans are carried out.
The word "policy" is used fgura.
lively, for the proposed procedure in
matters of taxation particularly, in.
vclvcs no policy that includes either
the principles of finance or economics
Scheme is the better word, for il
amounts solely to the scheme to re.
lieve profiteoring corporations of .
just tax and shift that burden unjust
ly upon the already overburdened
small taxpayer, including the smaller
corporations.
The split among Republicans in the
Senate is so much in view that even
the Presidents Washington newspaper
mouthpiece is compelled to take note
of it. After citing a proposed coali-
ton between the Progressive Repub-
licans and Democrats on the tax bill
and the alleged plan of the Demo-
Gratis to vote for a sales tax amend
ment and then vote against the bill in
company with Republicans opposed to
the sales tax, the Washington Post
says:
"Either horn of the dilemma threat
ems disaster to the Republican party,
in whose ranks the split of discord is
daily growing wider. The present
situation at the Capital is disclosing
to public view a fact which cannot
much longer be concealed, that the
Republican party today is not func-
tioning smoothly and efficiently be-
cause it is no longer thinking as a
unit. It's members are as far apart
as the poles on some of the greatest
questions underlying what is attempt
cd to be made into definite policy.
"The bonds which held its compo-
