TAX REVISION TO BE TAKEN
UP BY NATIONAL CONGRESS
Signs OF Times Points Toward Storm On Capitol
Hill When Congress Gets Into Question Of
G9ealf4 Tax Revision In Earnest

WASHINGTON, Nov. IL - (Au-
tocaster)-The signs Of the times,
so far as they can be read from
Washington with Congress on va
cations, points toward storm. on
Capitol Hill when Congress gets in
to the question of tax revision in
earnest. Some of Washington's best
guessers are predicting that there
will be no general overhauling of
the Federal tax system, but that
Congress will nibble around the
edges of the problem and have some
sharp runinS with the Treasury in
the effort to pare down some Of the
existing taxes which are burden
some to the folk who pay them.
Representative Carl Vinson of
Georgia is Chairman of the special
tax revision committee charged with
studying the whole subject and re-
porting its recommendations to the
Ways and Means committe Of the
House early in the next session. Mr..
Vinson has called upon a number Of
tax experts to make their recon-
rnendations when he calls his COM
mittee together some time next
month, and the Treasury is loading
it's own experts up with similar
ammunition. 1t is expected that the
Vinson committee will call upon
many leaders in business and in
dustry to discuss taxation also.
Principal pressure of tax revision
comes from business corporations
which have been hard hit by the un-
distributed profits tax, and from
others, individuals and corporations
alike, who contend that the capital
gains and losses tax hampers the
investment Of new capital in in
dustry. Experts now studying the
problem are preparing to recon-
mend that the undistributed profits
tax be eased up in the case of cor
porations desiring to use profits for
plant expansion or for paying off
bonded debts: both of which uses
of profits are penalized under the
present revenue law.
Won't Abandon Nuisance Taxes
One reason for doubling that
there will be general tax revision
is the unwillingness of the. Trea-

nuisance taxes, so-called, in favor
of an income tax on incomes below

manufacturer sales taxes and other
hidden imposts are easy and mex
pensive to collect. The experience
of the Treasury with the income tax
is that the lower the income the
harder it is to collect the tax on
it. To offset that objection, the plan
has been submitted to the Vinson
committee of collecting the tax at
the source on all incomes derived.
from salaries, rents and other regu-
lar sources. That is the way the
British income tax is collected, and
it goes much farther down the line
than does the American tax.
We do, as a matter of fact, collect
one direct income tax from more
than 20 million persons in just that
way. That part of the Social Secur-
ity taxes which is taken out of every
employees pay is specifically de-
cribed in the law as an income tax;
percent at present, more in the
future, of the gross earnings of
every wage-earner. The idea Of
levying an income tax on all wages
or salaries down to $1,000 year
or lower, and requiring employers
to hold it out of the pay, is gaining
ground 1t would be unsafe to pre-
dict that it will be adopted, but it
is certain to be debated. The gen
eral idea is in line with the propo-
sails which Senator LaFollette of
Wisconsin has been advancing for
several years.
