NO RELIEF FROM
TAXATION BURDENS
By Il. x. REYNOLDS

Der OF the senate finance committee.
we have not begun to feel the
sting of taxation" Smooth declared
today, .~-fox It Is my opinion that fed
eraI taxes in the future must so up
instead OF down. don't want 20 be
pesstnnistic but We must face the
facts"
smoots statement coming at the
conclusion OF the hearings which have
been conducted by the finance commit
tee with q view to the revision OF the
Internal revenue laws. is taken to in
dieats that revision downward at this
time Is practically out OF the question.
Tho general sales tax bill which
Smooth offered as a substitute In
event of the repeal OF the excess
pronts or surtaxes. is not likely to be
reported favorAhly BY the committee.
The country does not understand
the sales tax plan now" Smooth said
today, "but such q method OF raising
revenue will have to be adopted soons
er or later"
The soldiers bonus bill which Is
now before the finance committee, will
be passed at this session of congress,
smoot believes, thereby further In
oreasfng the present federal taxes.
1t is regarded as probably that the
finance committee In submitting its
recommendations for tax revision to
the senate, will endorse the abolition
OF the excess profits tax but It is not
considered likely that other forms OF
taxation will be lifted. The raising
Of the tax on corporations from ten
70 Is per cent has been strongly urged
as a means OF meeting the deficiency
caused by the repeal OF the prof1ts
tax. It being estimated that it will be
necessary to raise $4,000. 100000 for
the support OF the government.
Hearings which the senate finance
committee has been conducting since
May 9, were scheduled to end today.
