income tax law, to proposal i'm
posing an income tax on the peo-
pie of the city and at the same
time continuing the intangible
personal property law. Under
such a set-up, he explained, the
amounts paid in income tax would
be credited against the amounts
supposed to be paid on intangibleS.
Test of Plan Sought
In this way, he related, should
the income tax law be held I'M
constitutional, the District Treas
ury could keep at least a great
portion of the money since it
would be payable on intangibles.
He added:
otherwise, if the income tax
law were held unconstitutional
we would be somewhere out on
a limb"
DirkSen pointed out that if there
is a question of conStitutionalit
concerning the income tax I'VE
might just as well find it out now"
Representative Ambrose Ken
needy Cd of Maryland, chairman
of the subcommittee, suggested the
possibility of putting more teeth"
in the present Intangible tax law,
and thus getting more money from
that source
Points to Losses
Fred Allen, District Tax Asses
Sor, explained that the trouble
with the intangible tax law at
present is that his office does not
have authority to inspect the books
and accounts of those assessed.
He added:
Il think that if we had that
authority we could get another
million dollars from the intangi-
BILE tax law"
Insisting on the equitability Of
the income tax law, Dirksen told
the subcommittee that the thing
that commends such a law to him
is that it is paid after the income
is made and therefore cannot be
passed on, and that it strikes at
those best able to pay. On the
other hand, he said, the sales tax
can be passed on and strikes the
poor man as hard as the rich.
Obtaining information from the
assessor to the effect that the re-
tail sales here last year amounted
to $330,000,000, Representative
Nichols pointed out that l per
cent sales tax would yield three
million dollars,
