PREDICT LARGE
REVENUES FROM
TAX MEASURES
Government Fiscal Experts
Are Optimistic Over
New Proposals.

By United Press
WASHINGTON, March 6.-Large
increases in corporation profits
during the last three years indicate
probability of sizeable revenue from
new tax measures offered Congress,
government fiscal officials said to-
day.
Daniel G. Roper, Secretary of
Commerce, said corporation in
comes increased 300 per cent in
1885 over 1882. Treasury experts
said this rising trend would more
than compensate for diminished
Federal receipts which would re-
suit from repeal of present excess
profits and corporate income taxes
as proposed by President Roosevelt.
These levies affix a 6 per cent
assessment upon net corporation
income in excess of 10 per cent of
the declared value of the company
After the Is per cent level has
been attained the excess profits tax
increases to IL per cent. Large
levies are also placed upon actual
corporate revenues.
Heavy Dividends Expected
1t was expected that their repeal
would be much more than offset
by proposed new taxes to range
from 81 to 40 per cent upon undi-
vided profits.
The Treasury also expects to re-
ceive additional funds through or
binary assessments. Experts claim
that heavy dividend payments
would result from the proposed cor
porate tax changes With increased
dividends to stockholders, an en-
suing rise in the country's person.
al income would be subject to Fed
eral tax
Receipts from present corpora
ton levies have generally reflected
the nations business conditions.
Largest payments came in 1918
when war industries accelerated the
nations commercial output In
that year corporation tax levies
we're $3,158, $4,000.
A gradual decline in receipts was
evident until 1921, when corporate
taxes fell to $7O1,5 $4,000. Reverse
trends in the national income
boosted returns steadily to almost
$4,000, 100000 in 1929.
