The benefits of the reduction will
be distributed among all classes of
taxpayers, and the revision generally
will help to free business and in
dustry of vexatious interference and
encourage in all lines a more healthy
development of productive enterprise.
The present burden of taxation is
heavy. The revenues of the Govern
ment are sufficient to justify sub
stantial reductions and the people of
the country should receive the bene-
fits No program. however, is feas
ible If the Government is to be COM
mitted to new and extraordinary ex-
penditures. The recommendations
for tax reduction set forth in this
letter are only possible if the Gov
eminent keeps within the program of
expenditure which the Bureau of the
Budget has laid down at the direc-
ton of the President. New or en-
larged expenditures would quickly
eat up the margin of revenue which
now appears to be available for re-
ducing the burden of taxation, and
to embark on any soldiers bonus such
as was considered i'm the last Congress
or any other program calling for SINH
larly large expenditure would make
it necessary to drop all consideration
of tax reduction and consider instead
ways and means for providing addi-
tional revenue. A soldiers bonus
would postpone tax reduction not FOR
one but for many years to come. 1t
would mean an increase rather than
a decrease in taxes, for in the long
run it could be paid only out of
moneys collected by the Government
from the people in the form of taxes.
Throughout its consideration of the
problem the Treasury has proceeded
on the theory that the country would
prefer a substantial reduction of tax
alton to the increased taxes that
would necessarily follow from a sol
diers bonus, and I have faith to be-
lieve that it is justified in that I'M
derstanding Certainly there is moth

7. Repeal the tax on kilograms,
telephones, and leased wires.-This is
the last of the transportation taxes
established during the war, is a source
OF inconvenience to every person using
the telephone of telegraph, and should
now be eliminated from the tax sys-
tenn. This would mean loss in
revenue of about $30,O00,000 a year.
8. Repeal the tax on admissions
The greater part of this revenue is
derived from the admissions charged
by neighborhood moving picture
theaters. The tax is, therefore, paid
by the great bulk of the people whose
main source of recreation is attend
ing the movies in the neighborhood
Of their homes. This would mean a
loss in revenue of about $7O,OOOOOO
9. Miscellaneous nuisance tsxesl-
Your Committee may wish to con-
slider the elimination of various small
miscellaneous taxes which have an
inconsiderable bearing on the gen.
eral revenue of the Government, but
which are a source of inconvenience
to taxpayers and difficult to collect;
and possibly there are some articles
of jewelry which according to our
standard of living can not properly
be denominated luxuries, such as, for
instance, ordinary table silver or
watches, which you may wish to eX-
empt from the general tax on jewelry.
There is not enough margin of reve-
nue. available to permit the repeal Of
the special taxes which are proving
productive, but the law could be re-
vised to good advantage and some
of the nuisance taxes repealed with
out material loss to revenue.
10. In addition to the specific re-
concentrations which directly affect
Government revenues, there should
be amendments to strengthen the Act
and eliminate methods heretofore
used by taxpayers to avoid imposi-
ton of the tax. The exact amount Of
additional revenue to the Government
which will be brought in by these
amendments can not be estimated,
but certainly the amendments will
reach much income that heretofore
has escaped taxation.
II. Establish a Board of Tax APP
peaIs in the Treasury but independent
of the Bureau of Internal Revenue,
to hear and determine cases inVolV-
ina the assessment Of internal reVe-
nue. taxes.-This will give an in
dependent administrative tribunal
equipped to hear both sides Of the
controversy, which will sit on appeal
from the Bureau of Internal Revenue
and whose decision will be conclusive
on both the Bureau and the taxpayer
on the question of assessment The
taxpayer, in the event that decision
is against him, will have to pay the
tax according to the assessment and

recognizes capital gains and capital
losses for income tax purposes, gain
and loss should be placed upon the
same basis, and the provision of the
1921 Act taxing capital gains at 12h
per cent should be extended to capital
losses so that the amount by which
the tax may be reduced by the capital
loss will not exceed 1914 per cent of
the loss. 1t is estimated that this
will increase the revenues by about
s25,OOO,OOO
.. Limit the deductions from gross
income for interest paid during the
year and for losses not of a business
character TO the amount the sum Of
these items exceeds tax exempt in
come OF the taNpayer-The 1921 Act
provides that interest on indebtedness
TO acquire or carry tax-exempt Sc
curities is not deductble. This pro-
vision is ineffective because a tax
payer may purchase tax-exempt Sc
curities for cash and borrow money
for other purposes. Ii is felt also that
so long as a taxpayer has income
which is not reached for taxation, he
should not be permitted to deduct his
non-business losses from the income
which is taxable, but should be re-
stricted in the first instance to a de-
duction of these losses from his nom
taxable income. The estimated in
crease of revenue from this source is |
5000 900.
3. Tax community property income
to the spouse having control of the |
income.-In some States the income |
of the husband is a joint income of /
the husband and wife, and each, there
fore, is permitted to file a return for |
one-half of the income This gives I
unfair advantage to the citizens OF |
those states over the citizens of the /
other States of this country, and this |
seeks to restore the equal
ity. 1t is estimated that it will in
crease revenues by $S,0OO,OOO.
So much for the income tax recon-
which should become eff
fective January l. 1924. In order that
you may have before you a clear view
of the effect of these recommendations
as applied to incomes in the various
brackets. 1 am attaching a table pre-
pared by the Government Actuary,
showing the estimated results of the
proposed changes in the calendar
year 1925, on the basis of the taxable
year 1924. The schedule shows a
loss of revenue of about s92,OOO,0OO in
the brackets under $4,000, and a fur
Their loss of revenue of about $4,000
BOO in the next bracket of $4,000 to
10000. In short, about 20 per cent
IF the reduction would be in the
of $4,000 or less. and less
han 5 per cent would fall in the
brackets over 100000
To show the effect of the proposed
changes on the income of a typical
'alaried taxpayer, married and having
wo children, I call your attention to
he following comparative figures:
