which Secretary Houston has said
the Treasury required. was fied to-
day with the House Ways and Means
Committee by the TAX CommIttee Of
the National Retail Dry Goods Asso-
citation.
The plan contains several proposals
not heretofore advanced, Including the
assessment Of a Federal poll tax OF
IS on each person over twenty-one
years old who receives an indopen.
dent income. Income tax exemptions,
II Ia proposed, would be raised from
1900 to $500 for unmarried persons
and from 5000 to 5000 for heads OF
families. All business would be al
lowed an exemption OF 5000.
Other features carried in the pro-
Eram4ne, which was approved
through a referendum Of the organ
iEauon's 1000 members provide that:
Income from salaries, wages,
bonuses and commissions should not
be taxed at so high q rate as income
from business and Investments.
Income derived from business,
whether Individual, partnership or
corporate, should be taxed on the
busipess itself and be subject TO no
additional tax when distributed 10
partners or stockholders.
All other incomes, including prodt
from the sales OF capital assets,
should be taxed at higher rate than
income from business, and in a stlIi
higher degree than income from man
uRl or mental work.
There should be tax on gross sales
Of all goods sufficient when added
to all other taxes proposed In the
programme and including customs re-
ceipts to aggregate the required
$4,000. 100000.
The programme would eliminate
nom the present revenue act the ex-
eess profits tax, sur-tRKos on lndivid-
aalS taxes on transportation, insur-
anoo, admissions, dues and on nom
beverages and special and
'apital stock taxes, stamp taxes and
,ertain e,Dhse taxes.
The normal income rate would be
liked at per cent. on the first $4,000
above the exemption. while the ro-
nalnder would be subjected 10 a tax
of per cent. and no Rlr-taxes would
be levied. Income from business in
5titudons would be taxed at 10 per
cent on amounts above the exemp-
ton.
"Unearned' or investment income
and profits would bear sur-taxes rang
Ing from 1 per cent on incomes from
10000 TO $4,000 TO per cent. on in.
