Explanation of Tax Revision
Program Made by Officials Of n
Administration at Wds1ii1gfOfl
Cutting OF Higher Income
Tax Expected To Bring B.
More Money To Govern
ment With Less Expense;
Collection Would Be Less
Expensive.

Washington, Aug. 13.-An official
statement explaining the administra-
ton tax revision, program was issued
today at the White House. It de-
clares that 'the aim was to- establish
methods that would raise the needed
revenue within a reasonable certainty,
make collections sure and inexpensive
and properly adjust the burden
among all classes Of the community"
Much Progress Made.
1T is felt that highly important
progress has been made along these
lines" the statement says, addingas@
There has been no effort to relieve
the rich Of their share of the burden,
but rather to insure that no class will
these. A casual analysis of the pro-
posals shows that what may be de-
scribed as 'the rich mans taxes" will
produce about $500, 900, 900, while
the balance will be distributed over
the entire community, rich and poor.
The reduction to 80 per cent OF
the highest income and surtax brack-
cts is expected by the experts to pro-
duce actually more revenue from
these sources than do the present
much higher rates. The present rates
prevent transactions which would in
volve application Of the high rates,
and thus keep taxes away from the
into tax-free securities to the distress
of business and they lead to fraud
and evasions. e,
Burden Multiplied.
Experience has shown in dealing
with the excess profits taxes that
where there is a period Of selling this
tax is pyramided. multiplying the
burden Of the consumer. and inducing
speculation and waste which has been
largely responsible for the intense
speculation that followed the war. It
is an unsatisfactory tax on which to
base revenue estimates because it's
product of revenue is so extremely
variable and in the present epoch OF
reduced earnings, it would utterly fail
to produce the amount needed.
Exemptions Made.
I'm increasing the tax on corpor-
alton earnings, an exemption is made
of those having earnings of $4,000 or
less-the poor mans corporations.
The number that would be thus ex-
empted would exceed 100000"
| After reviewing benefits, which It
Is claimed will flow from repeal of the
| transportation taxes and substitution
OF manufacturers' taxes for the So
called nuisance 1evies," the state
| ment concludes: ~,
] THE whole tax reform program
contemplates freeing. business from
paralyzing~-and exasperating EfAstr8rc
tions, encoura ging to the 1tmdtt the
resumption of enterprise and business
removing every possible incentive to
evasion and fraud and distributing the
tax burden with the greatest possible
equity among all classes Of people.
