that he viii propose q lowering Of the
exemptions 90 that many more per-
sons may be brought within the tax
paying class. II is obvious that any
such suggestion will be resisted strong
~. Already Senator Borah Of Idaho
and other members Of Congress have
criticized plans to lower the exemptions.
The Government has come more and
more to lean upon the income tax for
its revenue. Customs duties and GER
tain internal revenue taxes like those
on tobacco. continue to bring in their
measure Of return. But the great bulk
Of the revenue comes from the taxes on
individual and corporation incomes, and
1t seems to be the fairest kind Of tax.
1t is true that when incomes fall of,
the revenue from the income tax neces-
sarily falls of, too. But in times of
stress and depression, with the people
earning and spending less. there is
contraction in all forms of tax returns.
When this country entered the World
War 1t became essential Immediately
the Government to conduct the war
Congress seized upon the income tax
as the best means OF providing the
revenue, and rates were increased.
Although in time Of peace, the coun-
try today faces financial emergency
II there Is to be revision of the in
come tax so as to bring in more rev.
enue, the fairest thing seems TO be to
make changes all along the line, with
increased surtax rates to take more
revenue from the Weather portion OF
the people and with q lowering of the
exemptions so as to bring the tax to q
larger number OF the people. The
exemptions today are $500 for a mar
ried man or the head Of q family
with an additional $500 for each child
or dependent person. and a 1880 ex-
emption for single persons.
The Democrats are criticiZing the
present administration fer letting the
Government get into its present posi-
ton, with q deficit of nearly a billion
dollars in prospect. But no louder
criticism was heard than that emanat-
ing from Democratic threats when Pres
ident Hoover and Secretary Mellon
warned the Congress that 1t must 60
slow in making appropriations. And
the Democrats almost TO q man sup
ported the soldiers bonus loan bill
which was slammed through the last
Congress ever the Presidents veto, al
though it was clear to all that 1t meant
adding another billion dollars TO the
money which the Government must
find to finance itself 1t is time that
the Congress woke up TO the fact that
the Government is in no position to 60
ahead with more and more costly new
projects. Yet there is q clamor today
from so-called progressive sources for
a special session of the new Congress to
add still further to the rising tide OF
Government expenses.
