way funds to other purposes"
Henry A. Hayward, representing
savings bank depositors, advocated
repeal Of the present tax on intangi-
BILE personal property. As evidence
of its "unfairness," he cited the fact
that non-interest bearing checking
accounts are taxed, and the tax on
savings bank deposits is equivalent
to an income tax of approximately
Is or so per cent, according to the
amount of a deposit. AS savings
bank depositors are generally people
of small means, he argued that taxes
imposed on their savings constitute
excessive taxation and are contrary
to the administration policy of tax
alton according to ability to pay.
Mr.. Hayward also would approve
a graduated income tax If it could
be imposed on Federal employees.
He declared a retail sales tax had
merit, but he is certain that oppo-
sition of groups of housewives and
labor, would kill such plan even
If there is an inclination on the
part of Congress to favor it.
Favor Graduated Income Tax.
The Citizens Committee on Fair
Taxation, through two representa-
tives, Arthur Bernstein and Her.
bert c. Wood, registered strong op-
position to sales tax and Endorsed
a graduated income tax.
AS a principle, Mr.. Bernstein said,
the organization favors only such
taxes as are visible and based on
the ability to pay.
In opposing the sales tax. Mr..
Bernstein pointed out Representa-
tive Jack Nichols, Democrat, of
Oklahoma, who served as chairman
of a special subcommittee of the
House District Committee at the
last session of Congress which
drafted current tax legislation, had
told advocates of such a tax they
were wasting" their time. Mr..
Nichols, incidentally, sat with the
Advisory Committee during the
hearing.
E. I. Lewis, president Of the
Georgetown Citizens Association,
filed with the committee just before
the luncheon recess statement de-
claring that organization believes
that any tax plans placed before
Congress should be predicated on
the proposal that Government prop
erty in the District be appraised on
the same basis as other like property
and that the Federal payment be on
an equality with the assessments of
private property.
A majority of the 10 witnesses who
appeared before the committee at
its initial hearing yesterday regis
tered vigorous protest against q gen.
eral sales tax, and indicated a pref
erence for a graduated income tax
"a proposal that has twice been re-
jected by Congress.
There was almost unanimous
agreement among the first witnesses
that the present tax on intangible
personal property should be re-
pealed, provided a proper" substi-
tute levy is adopted to produce the

final witness at the first hearing
Joined those who advocated repeal

tax II a substitute tax is adopted
He said this levy is one of the most
inequitable in the District, and cited
the case Of one taxpayer who paid
$500 to the District in intangible
taxes and $36 to the Federal Gov
ernment in income taxes.
Mr.. Brylawski also said he pre-
ferred continuation Of the business
privilege tax to an income tax, al
though he predicted he may be de-
nounced as a rebel" for doing it.
"The devil you know" he declared
"is better than the devil you don't
know"
He suggested a revision of the
business privilege tax, even though
1t may result in higher rates, rather
than adoption Of an income tax. In
addition, he urged a restudy Of the
license fees for business establish
ments, many Of which he considers
too low.
Mr.. Brylawski also questioned
whether the proposed non-salary,
non-wage personal net income tax
would yield substantial return. He
pointed out that several years ago
only 10000 Of an estimated popula-
ton of 100000 filed income tax re-

ally paid taxes.
