Needed Tax Reforms


A large group of eminent authori-
ties in the field of economics believe
that two important changes In the
Federal income tax laws are essen
tial if capital and business are to
function fully, men be re-employed,
and national income and spending
increased.
The first change is repeal of pres
ent capital gains and losses pTovis-
ion of the income tax law, as ap-
piled to gains or losses on sale of
capital items held for one year or
more.
The second change is an amend
ment to the 1886 Revenue Bill which
would permit allowance before ap-
plication of surtax, for expenditures
for plant, fixtures. etc.; authoriZa-
tion for corporations, If they so de-
sire. to declare and pay final divi-
dend. applicable to the years earn
ings, any time within 80 days after
the end of the year; exemption from
surtaX of all amounts paid within
the taxable year in discharge of a
debt. or irrevocably set aside for
discharge of a debt; allow surplus
credit equal TO 80 per cent of the an
nual earnings before application of
the undistributed earnings tax.
These suggestions are reasonable,
and would do much to eliminate
present provisions of the 1886 Reve-
nue. Bill which are a definite barrier 1
to industrial growth ON a steady, as /
against temporary boom basis. and |
which make ii extremely difficult for |
many types of business to expand I
their plant investment and build up
financial protection against future
economic difficulties.
The capital gains and losses levy
Is also a barrier to sound industrial
development. Its repeal would not
1nly release much capital into pro-
iuctive channels. but would, accord
ng to the Comptroller of New York,
Increase the Federal governments
ncome by $3.50, 100000 a year as a
'esult of increases in the turnover
ak on securities and widespread
business improvement.

WALK STRIKE
MAY CHECK
BUILDING
Oehman Ready to Act
Where Inspections
Are Delayed

Prepared to recommend against
continuation of building opera
lions in cases where the walking
strike" of the 10 District building
inspectors prevents adequate in
SpectionS, Building Inspector John
w. Oehmann today called upon
his staff to submits reports of in
spectionS made yesterday when
the strike" went in effect, as COM
pared with last week when the in
spectors did their work in auto
mobiles.
Colonel Oehmann said he will
forward the report to Engineer
Commissioner Dan I. Sultan. He
said:
81 realize the seriousness Of
this situation and in cases where
/ deem it necessary 1 will make
specific recommendations"
COST TOO HIGH
The 10 inspectors until yester'
day had been using their own auto
mobiles at their own expense in
making inspections. Jesse Kim
ball, chief of the building inspec'
ton staff, was instructed by Colo
mel Oehmann to prepare the re
port comparing inspections made
by automobile and on foot,
Kimball said that of the staff
Of 10 inspectors, only one could
cover his assignment properly
This inspector has the territory
in the area bounded by @ Street
Northwest, the Mall, Fourteenth
Street Northwest and Fourth Street
Northeast.
He estimated that inspections
of the entire staff would decrease
from IS to so per cent as a result
Of the walking strike In de.
tense Of the stand taken by the
inspectors, Kimball said the cost
of gasoline and upkeep Of auto
mobiles used in connection with
their work, reduced inspectors net
salaries to below $1,000 year.
Elevator Men Join
Up until five years ago, inspec,
tors were given an allowance for
use of their cars, but this was
stopped during the depression
years. An attempt by the Com
misSioners to have the allowance
restored in the 1888 fiscal yeat
budget for the District was We,
toed by the Budget Bureau.
Several of the city's nine eleva.
tor inspectors have joined in the
strike.

Wagner Bill Amended Yesterday By Senate;
 Changes All Plans
Observers Claim Measure Now Will Not Protect Workers in Low Revenue Class-SenatOr Wagner.
 Had Worked Three Years for Original Bill

in low cost housing which would re- suit in "bee-hive" houses. These are the box-like structures built in sec. tons and identical one with the next. Investment by the city in such an enterprise, even with Q serious shortage growing worse daily, could not be undertaken, 1t was reported.
 First plan of local authorities to meet the problem of housing in Waterbury was to seek funds un- der the Federal Housing Adminis- tration of the PWA. This proce- dure was outlined in a descriptive article in The Democrat early last month.
 Then, with the welfare depart ment at 0 loss to provide homes for families evicted for non-pay- ment of rent, other families be- sieging city officials and the Cham Der of Commerce for living quar- ters within their means, the rec course to the pending Wagner bill was undertaken.
 Mayor Hayes designated William M. Harris, executive secretary of Lincoln House, as his representa- tive and the latter now Is in Wash- ington where he has urged the states congressman to give their cooperation in getting aid for Wa terbury under the Wagner bill pro- visions as originally intended.
 The Connecticut senators, Aug ustine Lonergan, Hartford, and Francis T. Maloney, Meriden, voted for the amended bill yesterday. But earlier in the week they had voted for the Byrd amendment to the bill, this provision cutting the cost of houses to S4,000, or $i,000 per room. and this amendment, accord- ing to the bill's proponents and It's author, Senator Wagner, actually killed" the measure.
 Of course, the bill now goes to the house where Congressman J. Joseph Smith of Waterbury, was ex- pected to fight for the original pros visions, or, at least, c reasonable outlay per house to insure invest ment by Waterbury in such Q plan. However, the sens te's action has probably killed the chance that there will be considerable change sought in the house, observers re- marked, and, SO far as Waterbury is concerned, further action will have no effect here.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-08-07

Waterbury's problem of how to provide 1000 homes to meet drastic need of housing accommodations for the low income group here was re- turned to the city from Washington today, once again for Q local prob lem.
 Passage of the Wagner Housing bill, from which Mayor Frank Hayes sought allocation of funds for Q low-cost housing project here, be- came fact late yesterday in the sen- ate, But the bill was amended by Republicans and anti-administra- ton Democrats to e form which changes It's original purpose-$726,- O00,000 for construction of we'll built homes for the lowest income group"-- to Q shilly-shally venture in low-grade construction, making investment of the money in such an undertaking Q precarious specuia- ton.
 While thousands here had hope that Q place in the civic scheme could be found for c large percent- age of the peak population that has outgrown physical limitations of the city in an economic sense, the last recourse for an immediate solution-the Wagner bill-became c political instrument of senators serving what are known as the "in- terests." No regard was given the wage earner in the low income class whose pay has not kept pace with living costs and who cannot meet the rising prices of construction and rents, and maintain Q normal stan- dard of living.
 The amendment to the bill for which Senator Robert F. Wagner, democrat, New York, had worked for three years, was sustained ny the bills goes 90 that the act DOW provides:
 An authority of three members in the interior department and au- thoriEes this authority to obtain 92o,OO0,000 from the treasury and to borrow S70o, 100000 in United states guaranteed housing project secured bonds in the next three years.
 The authority is empowered to lend up to 9S per cent of proposed projects cost to local, state and municipal housing authorities for decent homes for the lowest inc come groups"
 The catch is that the amended act also provides for houses no; to cost more than tt,000, or Si,000 Q room. Housing experts said that tlNo provision giving local authori. ties sixty years for amortization of their debt would fail to make the proposed housing available for even the poorest people with subsidy.
 60 far as Waterbury and cities oe like size, and larger. are con. earned, there is no prospect that such housing projects will be even silghtiy worthwhile. It is agreed that contractors and real estate owners cannot provide either work or prop. porty, respectively, on the basis Of estimated outlay, 4i,00o . room.
 % war as the type of construc- ton allowed by the limited outlay is concerned in Waterbury. building experts here are against experiment
