NEW BASIS FOR TAXES.

WASHINGTON, May 25. - An entirely new basis for levying na- t!onal taxes with exemption on per sonal incomes substantially raised, was submitted to the Senate Finance Committee by c. B. Clark of Detroit, who said he spoke for the National Retail Dry Goods Association, the National Association of Retail Clothiers, the National Retail Shoe Dealers Association and the National Garment Retailers Association.
 Concretely, the plan would put all incomes into three classes. and they, with the aid of the sales tax would carry practically the entire revenue burdens. MT. Clark pro posed raising the exemptions on per sonal incomes from the present $1,OOO for single persons to $2,50O and from $2,O00 for married perosns to $5,0OO with an additional $500 exemption for each child or de- pendent instead of the present $200 The witnesses also would lower the higher rates on income surtaxes.
 Adoption of the program, MT Clark said, would permit the repeal of excess profits and excise taxes mcny luxury taxes. and the tax on transportation.
