CHANGED TAX LAWS
URGED BY ROOSEVELT

Continued from page one)
Democrat, North Carolina, of the
house ways and means committee,
called the group into session to-
day to consider the suggestions
Speaker Joseph w. Byrns
thought the tax program ought to
go at least on the fought" list.
Mr.. Roosevelt said that on the
basis of studies by the treasury
and the joint legislative commit
tee he was able to make a num-
Der of suggestions regarding tax
alton.
"These are based" he said, ION
the broad principle that if a gov
eminent is to be prudent its tax
es must produce ample revenues
without discouraging enterprise
and if it is to be just it must dis
tribute the burden of taxes equit-
ably.
81 do not believe that our pres
ent system of taxation completely
meets this test.
"Our revenue laws have oper-
ated in many ways to the unfair
advantage of the few, and they
have done little to prevent an un-
Just concentration of wealth and
economic power"
Mr.. Roosevelt said the idea OF
taking income as the measure OF
benefits and of ability to pay
"still is wholesome guide for
national policy" =,
Taxation according to income,
he added, SIS the most effective
instrument yet devised to obtain
Just contribution from those best
able to bear it and to avoid plac-
ing onerous burdens upon the
mass of our people"
Mr.. Roosevelt pointed out no"
the movement toward progressive
taxation of wealth and income
had accompanied the growing d.
versification of society. :,

UTILITIES TAX
FOR RELIEF

T ANNAPOLIS, Md, March 1S.
With concerted opposition threat
ening plans for sales tax, a move
has been launched here in favor
Of q utilities consumer tax of 7
per cent to help finance the
States relief burden.
An attempt to introduce the tax
levy bill will be made by Senator
Lansdale G.. Sasscer Democrat,
Prince Georges), president Of the
senate, and Senator Stedman
Prescott Democrat, Montgomery .
Consumers to Pay
The proposal would place a Z
per cent levy on consumers bills
for such services as telephones,
gas and electricity. The Maryland
public spends total of approx
mately $50,OO0,000 for these utility
services, the senators said, and the
revenue from the proposed tax
would yield a revenue of approx
mately $3,500,000.
The sales tax plan has been de-
nounced by merchants appearing
before the senate finance commit
tee and the house ways and means
committee
Two Plans Drawn
Two plans, including the one
for a levy on public utility bills,
have been worked out by Senator
Sasscer and the Montgomery
county legislator as a substitute
for the sales tax. The second
plan is a combination Of special
taxes whose nature was not dis
closed. The senators said:
1--WE have been working in CEN
juction for the last two weeks
studying every source from
which revenue could be derived,
and we have evolved two dis
tinct plans which in our judg'
ment will not work any great
hardship upon any industry or
any one source or section Of
the State, and we will present
them to the finance committee.
If necessary, we will take them
to the floor of the senate.
'Tn our opinion, the sales tax
will work q hardship upon the
citizens of our counties, and be
ruinOus to a number of small
businesses"
