UNTAxING THE RICH,
OYERTAXING THE POOR

When the tax bin passed the House
fifty Republicans voted with the Dem
ocrats to recommit the bill for re-
vision Here are the reasons AZ given
by two western Representatives:
From speech of Representative
SchaiI ORep) Mimi:
"The test should be. ability to bear
the burden. The man who is able
should pay The man who has pro-
fitted most should hand over IN pro-
portion. Spending should not be the
basis OF tax. Earnings are the only
just basis. The present tax bill IS
fashioned to lay the heaviest burdea
on the backs OF those least able 20
bear &C. Think Of the number Of new
mlllionaires. those who stayed al
home and profiteered, Think Of thU
profits so, 100, yea, even 1000 per
cent made al the cost % our neres-
sity, at the price Of our boys blood
and agony and now forsooth the
surtax, the excess-profits tax, must
be cut down.
Il shall vote 10 recommit the bill.
with instructions TO report Il back
minus the repeal OF surfaces.
"The test Of the iniquity Of this
bill able A definite and certain per
cent should be laid upon income and
excess profits. Abolish nontaEable Sc
curities. Force the money out OF ita
hiding place. Pace the burden Of tax
where IL belongs. This Is what should
have been done,
THE test OF the iniquity Of this bill
Is that the tax on the pay envelope Is
raised from 2G per cent to over -
per cent, while the surtax is reduced
from 65 per cent 10 90 per cent and
the excess-profits tax IS abolished al
together The principle OF progress
sive tax was right, produced good y
revenue, even with the tax d0dginR.
Why yield to political expedIency and
abolish Il? ! cannot see wherein any
such action is dofenslble One more
argument has been handed 10 the
Democrats on a silver platter Tho
level Of constructive craftsmanship
IS very low when Il passes out "A bill
like this for the relief OF the coun-
try"
