$762, 000. 900. thus leaving s3,272,.
100000 to be raised by internal
taxes. The new revenue bill,
amended as your committee
will yield $3.326,6OO.o 900. which ex.
ceeds the amount required from this
source by only $4,000. 900 IA margin
of safety. none o. large for the fis-
cal year 1922 in view of .he existing
business depression anu the un-
certainty attaching to the Yield of
the income and profits taxes.
at is not possible to make an ac-
curate forecast OF the expenditures
for the fiscal year 1928. but your
committee has acted on the SUI
ton that-with the exception of the
special railroad expenditures Grams
portation act and Federal controD
which will be nearly if not wholly
completed in the fiscal year 1922-
the aggregate expenditure for the fis-
cal year 1928 will be substantially
as large as in tn efiscal year 1929.
The special railroad expenditures in
cluded in the 1922 estimates amount.
in round figures to 100000. 900:
and the receipts from customs and
miscellaneous sources for the fiscal
wear 1928 are estimated at $780,
100000. Deducting both amounts
S1,200, 900 .0O0) from the total
estimated expenditures for 1922
S4.034,O 900 .OOO) leaves in round
figures $2.835,00O.OOO to be supplied
by internal taxes for the fiscal year
1928. The ven bill as recon-
mended by your committee will
raise during 1923. it is estimated.
$2,740,40O.0 600. The difference or
deficit Of $1OO, 100000 can and
should be avoided by savings and
economies. Your committee DELHI
crate1y recommends a tax program
which, while providing revenue sub
stantially sufficient to meet ordinary
expenditures on the present scale.
that a reasonable measure
OF retrenchment and reduction will
be accomplished. The total ordinary
expenditures for the fiscal year 1921
sinking fund and miscel-
fixed debt charges, amounted
to $5,528. $50. For the fiscal
year 1922 the expenditures on the
basis are estimated at S4,O34,-t
600, 1000. The above program as
sumes that for the fiscal year 1923
they will amount to approximately
$4,000, 900, an entirely reason
able assumption in the light of our
present knowledge.

PLEDGED TO REPEAL TAX

WASHINGTON, Oct. lS-"In con

clares the Republican Publicity
Association. through its president.
Hon. Jonathan Bourne. Jr.
THE Republican Platform de-
clared that, sound policy demands
the early accomplishment OF that
real reduction of the tax burden
which may he achieved by substitute
ing simple for complex tax laws and
procedure: prompt and certain de-
termination of the tax liability for
delay and uncertainty: tax laws
which do not. for tax laws which do.
excessively mulct the consumer or
ncedlessly repress enterprise and
thrift
"The Democratic platform advo-
Gated tax reform and a searching re-
vision of the revenu acts to fit
peace conditions. so that the wealth
of the nation may not be withdrawn
from productive enterprise and
diverted to wasteful or O .prOduc-
tive expenditure
These expressions have always
been construed to apply to the ex-
cess profits tax.
"1f there had been any doubt as
to the meaning of the two political
platforms on hat subject this doubt
would have been removed by the in

profits tax: Its operations have been
Disappointing. its costs multiplied
and pyramided. and righteous
changes and notifications ought to
be sought at an early date

on September II. 1920. he said: We

the New York Times and published
in the issue of May %. 1920. long
before he had been nominated by the
Democratic party. Mr.. Cox said:

in the bill recommended by your
committee. and every class of tax
payers will share in the benefits II
the bill is adopted.
For the fiscal year 1922, the pres
cnt law would yield $500. OOO, 900:
the House bill. 1920. OOO. 900: and
the bill as reported to the Senate.
S3.326. 600 900. The reduction in
the individual income tax is due
principally to the increase in the per-
ional exemptions from $4,000 to
$1,000 for heads of families having
an income not in excess of $4,000
and The proposed increase in the OK
emption for dependents from 5000 to
$500. This increase in the person
al exemptions will reduce the collec-
tons principally from taxpayers
having incomes below $4,000 about
S7O,0OO.OOO annually, but only part
OF this reduction will affect the reve-
nue. for the fiscal vear 1929.
FOR the fiscal yea 1929 the
present law would yield S3.34O. OOO.-
600. the House bill s2,G6O.33O,O 900,
and the bill as reported to the
Senate $2.74O.4OO.O 900. The reduc-
ton in the individual income tax is
due to the increase of personal ex-
emptions described above and to the
proposed reduction of the surfaces
effective January |. 1929. The
House bill limits the surfaces to a
maximum of 80 per cent upon in
III exceeding $G6, 1000, but other
wise retains the present schedule of
surtax rates In the bill as reported
to the Senate the same maximum
rate of 80 per cent Is retained, but
the s%urtaxes applicable to incomes
under 100000 have been moderately
reduced. resulting in a reduction Of
revenue, as cOntraSted with the
House bill. of approximately $15.-
100000 a year.
For the fiscal year 1923 the cor-
poration income tax shows a gain
due to the proposed increase of rate
from 10 per cent to 12k per CEN in
the House bill and from 10 per cent !
to Is per cent in the bill as reported
to the Senate. the change to be eff
fective January l. 1922. In both the
house bill and the Senate draft the |
excess-prOfits tax is repealed as of
January /. 1922. but collections |
based upon income for the year 1921
will continue to be made in the first
half of the fiscal veal 1928.
For the fiscal year 1923, the
miscellaneous internal taxes have
been reduced in the House bill. as
contrasted with the present law,
S359,67O.O0O The similar reduc-
ton in the bill as reported to the
Senate amounts to s324.600, 900.
From the standpoint of revenue
the most important changes recon-
mended by your committee are:
1.-THE repeal of the excess~profits
tax. which would reduce the
about $40O,00O,O 900 annually; the re-
peal Of the surfaces in excess Of 32
per cent, involving an immediate
loss of $4,000. 900 to 100000
900 a year: the repeal of the capital
stock. involving an annual loss OF
about $4,000, 900; the reduction Of
the transportation taxes by one-half
on January /. 1922, and their final
repeal as Of December 81. 1922, in
volving a reduction of $131, 100000
during the calendar year 1922 and
an eventual loss Of s2G2.OOO.O 900
per year; and the adoption of an
additional income tax upon corpora
tions of 5 per cent, which would in
crease the revenue about $3.50, OOO,-
900 annually.
THE excess-profits tax has been
so thoroughly discussed that it is
unnecessary to state at length the
