The Editors Eye

There was never a more outrageous
scheme to favor the rich than Presi-
dent Coolidge's plan for a tax refund
or credit to income taxpayers.
The President won't get to first base
with his scheme, because 1t does next
to nothing for the great mass of people,
while it takes millions of dollars from
the treasury and bestows 1t upon per-
sons and corporations of great incomes
who need it least.
An analysis of the tabulation of in
dividual income tax payments for 1924,
the last year for which such official
tabulation is available, shows how the
Presidents plan would work out.
For that year, the number of tax
payers In the class below $4,000 was
3,S04,045 and the amount OF tax they
paid was $47 ,650,694. A ten per cent
rebate or refund, or credit of this
amount on next years tax, would
amount to approximately $4,700,OO0,
divided among nearly four million tax
payers, or little more than one dol
lar each. OF course those who paid On
incomes of one, two or three thousand
dollars would get less than this. But
this is the average.
The number between FIVE and ten
thousand dollars was 426S45, and their
total payments $2s.s27,944 A ten per
cent refund would amount to aproxi-
mately $2,S00,000, divided among more
than 100000 taxpayers, would be little
more than six dollars each.
On the other hand, the 1924 tabula-
tion shows that there were 20 persons
in the country who paid taxes on in
comes of more than $1,000,00O each,
and their total payments amounted to
$34,46S,363. A ten per cent refund to
them would amount to about S3,400,-
600, or about $450,O00 each.
What is true Of individual income
taxes is also true as to the corpora
tion tax. A few big corporations would
get the great bulk Of the refund, 1t is
contended, and the little corporations
would get insignificant sums.
The little fellow, who pays taxes on
a net income of one or two thousand
dollars would get a refund of about
seventy cents. while the man paying
a tax of a million dollars would get a
refund of 100000. For example, in
Pennsylvania, the 1924 tabulation
shows seven persons paid taxes ON In
comes of more than $1.000,0O0 each
They paid total of $5,76s.036. TheiI
refund at ten per cent would be about
$576,000
In Michigan, four paid taxes ON In
comes of more than a million and a
hal -,sonars, paying a total of $6,0OO,'
900. These four would split tax ie-
fund of 100000, or $150,000 each, OF
nearly as much as 100000 tax-pay srs
In the $1,000 net income class
The plan is not tax relief, at all. out
gross favoritism, Democrats in Con
gress insist. The people generally
would get far more relief out Of the
mere repeal of the three per cent auto
mobile tax. they point out, than from
the Presidents plan.
The average farmer pays no income
tax; but If he buys fiivver, he pays
tax of fifteen to twenty dollars, or
as much as the total relief to twenty
FIVE income tax payers in the $1,000
class under the Presidents plan.
At the proper time, 1t is promised
the Democrats in Congress will pre-
sent genuine tax relief bill that
won't bestow a loaf on one man and
"A crumb on his neighbor, as the Presi-
dent would do.
