NUISANCE TAX
TO Be Discarded

President Roosevelt expects to
issue a proclamation about Dec. s
10 II taxes that the treasury esfi-
mates are producing about $227.-
0UO 900 a year.
THESE taxes were included in the
national industrial recovery act for
the special purpose OF financing the
emergency program. Attached to
n was a proviso under which a
presidential proclamation would
n them after repeal.
When he does act, the presidents
proclamation will. beginning Jan. /,
eliminate half a cent of the federal
gasoline tax and the five percent
now levied on dividends at the
source. On July /, 1894. the capt.
al stock tax will end and the excess
profits levy will be dropped at the
end Of the taxable year chosen by
the taxpayer.
The president hopes. too, to be
able to eliminate some of the So
called nuisance" levies-taxes on
refrigerators, automobile tires and
the like. In all, officials estimate
that he wishes to do away with
nearly $500. 900, 900 in taxes.
But all will not be beer and skit-
ties for the taxpayer who uses the
new legalized beverages. Admins
~tration sources say 1t will be neces-
sary to raise this $500, 900, 600 Civ
