Mr.. duPont's plan for raising thi.
annual revenue is:
az The same tax on real estate
as now exists: namely. 25 cents or
the 500 of assessed valuation:
(2) Corporation franchise taxes
and corporation invested capital
taxes the same as under present law:
(3) A graduated income tax
which VII make the filing fee un-
necessary and allowing only two
exemp ptions;
(a) On dependent adults and on
minors;
(b) The real estate tax for
schools of 25 cents on the 500 of
assessed valuation will be deductible
from income from the same real es-
tate only.
The offsetting of income by can't
tai losses will no longer be permit
ted, but capital losses will continue
to offset capital gains.
To accomplish the collection of
these raXes a non-p partisan State Tax
Collecting Bureau will need ample
equipment (to be paid from the
State General Fund and from the
school taxes) the cost of which will
not exceed 8 per cent of the total
amount collected from corporations
and individuals.
The schools to be built should be
plain but of enduring material in
order to keep down the annual cost
of repairs. The money to be ex-
pended must be divided not on an
arbitrary per pupils basis but in
accordance with the type of school
necessary and the local costs of con-
struction.
If every citizen and taxpayer will
give Mr.. duPont's document careful
and unprejudiced study, it will be
evident that a most scrupulOus ef-
fort has been made to be fair. If
the reader has any questions to as1;
or any exceptions or additions to
make, they may be sent direct to
Mr.. P. S. dupont or to the Delaware
School Auxiliary Association, Will
mington, Delaware, and will receive
courteous attention. The General
Assembly will wish to be guided by
the mature thought of the people of
the State.
Above all, this must not be re-
garded as propaganda or lobbying,
but simply as one mans attempt to
solve a very difficult and urgent
problem; indeed, it's main purpose is
to concentrate the thoughts of pa
triotic men and women in an eff
fort to give all of the children of
Delaware a fair chance in life.
