Democratic Senators
EQUITABLE SCHEDULE
Walsh, Gerry Urge Change
In Unfair and Unjust
System of Levies
EQUITABLE SCHEDULE

WASHINGTON. Sept 22.-- Reduc-
tiOns in the normal tax rates on in
dividual incomes of $4,000 or less,
and graduated tax of from 10 to 20
per cent on the incomes of corpora
lions in place of the suggested flat
rrte of Is per cent, were proposed in
amendments to the Republican tax
revision bill offered today in the SEN
ate by Senators Walsh, Massachu-
setts, and Gerry of Rhode Island. Dem
ocrats, on the finance committee.
To make up the $1O5, 100000 loss
from the tax on individual incomes, 1t
was proposed that a tax of one cent
gallon on gasoline be imposed at
the source and that the capital stock
tax, yielding around $60, 100000 an
nually, be retained
The majority bill provides for re-
peal of this tax, effective in 1922.
Under the Gerry amendment, tax
navers whose net income is less than
$4,000 would pay normal rate of two
Per cent instead of four per cent on
$4,000 as provided in the revised bill
taxpayers whose net income is be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 would pay
g normal tax of four per cent on the
excess over $4,000. instead of eight
per cent on all over $4,000, and tax
payers whose net income is between
$4,000 and $4,000 would pay a nor
NAL tax of six per cent on the excess
over $4,000 instead of eight per cent
on the excess over $4,000.
Surtax Unchanged
Incomes in excess of $4,000 would
nav eirht per cent on all over that
amount, but, it was explained, they
would receive the benefit of the low
cred normal tax up to $4,000. The
surtax rates as fixed by the finance
committee would remain unchanged
Under the corporation income tax
amendment offered by Senator Walsh
the rate on the first 100000 of cor
poration net income would be ten per
cent; that on the income between
100000 and 100000 would be Is
per cent, and that on the income in
excess of 100000 would be 20 per
cent.
This schedule" said a statement
issued by Senators Walsh and Gerry
will reduce me tax on the net income
OF $4,000 corporations on which the
Republican majority bill increases
the tax from 10 per cent to Is per cent
while it increases the tax on only
about 1000 corporations which have
net income OF more than 100000
each per year.
