thus the taxpayers viii receive fairly
definite assurances of the relief in sight.
This step being supported by the au-
thorities in the House of Representa-
tives, and 1t is hoped by the President,
the taxpayers will receive assurances
of relief legislation. which of course
cannot be expected to benefit them inn
mediately.
Hope to Reduce Taxes.
"It will renew confidence and instill
hope in the business works and it will
doubtless be hailed with satisfaction.
We hope to give assurances that the
excess profits taxes will be abolished
and the incomes taxes will be reduced
all along the line to he collection point.
This point was carefully figured out
in the old days, notably in the taxes on
whiskey. almost to a mathematical
point. Beyond that point it is argued
that less revenue is obtained under n
higher than a lower tax. 1t has become
evident that there is a collection point
in income taxation.
I'm other words. the tax should not
be in excess of point which would rob
the taxpayer of all initiative and in this
way stop the wheels of progress and
industry.
The temptation to hide wealth in
unregistered and unaccounted securi-
ties like municipal bonds must be re-
moved and the possessor of money for
development and investment must have
restored to his sufficient incentive TO
continue his activities. Thus the tax
payer becomes satisfied and the govern
ment in the end would be the gamer.
n connection with the tariff lRuiS-
lation it is recalled that the proposition
is to pass the Fordney bill substantially
as it has already passed Congress with
out material change except the possible
inclusion Of the anti-dumping and
American valuation plans. 1t will be
limited in effect to six months or until
the permanent tariff bill is enacted into
law. Under this plan legislators desiring
amendments will have an opportunity
to embody the same in the permanent
measure without involving delay to the
bill for temporary urgent relief.
1T has been further argued that un-
less the Fordney bill be amended to
provide for compensatory duties. hard
