TAX RATE FOR
MILLIONAIRES
MUCH REDUCED

Continued from page onc)
The House bill made no reduction in
surtax whatever for incomes up To
$4,000. This feature was denounced
vigorously by Representative Henry
7. Raincy, and the Senate changes
meet some Of his objections.
Tax Exempt Securities
Opponents of the bill were particu-
larly critical of the reduction Of the
surtax maximum to 20 per cent and
its application to all incomes above
100000. The answering argument is
that the present figure will produce
more revenue than would a larger
rate.
This argument is based upon the
present tendency Of capital to invest
in tax exempt securities. When the
total normal tax and surtax is less
than % per cent as under the new
law. it is more profitable to invest in
industrial securities at per cent
than in taX-eXempt municipal bonds
at Az per cent. It is estimated, ac-
cordingly, that money will be coaxed
again within reach of taxation and
industry will be benefited by new
investments.
