CHAMBER TAX CUT
CAMP A|GN BEGINS
10 Per Cent Corporation
Levy Among Proposals of
National Body.

A nationwide campaign to reduce
the corporation tax to not more than
10 per cent, to repeal the Federal eS-
tate tax and to eliminate the remain
ing war excise taxes has been launch
cd by the Chamber of Commerce of
the United States. In letters to its
1900 member organizations it asks
support for its program, which would
reduce the corporation tax by S32o, 000.-
600.
The corporation tax reduction. the
chamber says, should not be made
contingent upon the available sur
plus. Even a moderate deficit in any
one year would not be alarming UNI
der present conditions" it contends.
Attacks Debt Policy.
while every year since 1919 has
shown large annual surplus" the
chamber points out, with the excep-
ton or 1921. and in this year there
was "A comIof.u5.o balance, yet de-
pendence upon annual SURPRISES for
the retirement of the funded debt can
not be approved as sound policy. A
surplus is always an uncertain guam
tity, made more so in recent years by
tn frequent changes in tax rates Cas-
ual Treasury SURPRISES do not possess
in any source of revenue which is
to be relied upon for the retirement
of funded obligations.
"A proper fiscal policy" the cham
Der concludes, demands that syste-
matte program of revenues and ex-
penditurs be developed, and that
these substantially balance.
The chambers program. If carried
out, would mean tax reduction in
excess of what the administration re-
CARDS as safe. President Coolidge be-
fore leaving Washington sounded
warning against excessive tax cutting.
and the Treasury Department has in
sisted that this years surplus of $685.
00O,0 900 should not be used as basis
for new revenue legislation. Next
years surplus, it has been estimated.
will be about 5000 900. The cor
poration tax reduction proposed by the
chamber would nearly eliminate that
surplus alone.
Asks Members Support.
While urging support for this pro-
gram, which will be laid before the
ways and means committee, the cham
Der also asks its member organizations
to cooperate with the advisory con-
gressional joint tax committee, which
has before it the task of overhauling
and perfecting the entire Federal tax
system. This committee, however. is
not concerned with immediate tax re-
6iuction or with rates.
Business. the chamber points out,
has direct interest in the systematic
revision of the Federal revenue sys-
tenn. Business organizations. cor
porations and individuals are urged
to point out defects they have found
in the present internal revenue sys-
tenn in as specific a manner as pos
sible and to submit well considered
suggestions for Improvement.
