Brookings Report
Urges 0verhauIing
OF Tax System
Existing Levies
Declared Choking Flow
OF Private Funds
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Brookings Institution recon-
mended yesterday that the Federal
tax system be drastically over
hauled, because, 1t said, existing
levies were choking the flow of pri-
vate funds into investment chan
nels.
The institution suggested among
other things abolition of the tax
on intercorporate dividends, SUBJ
stantial reduction of surtax rates on
incomes in the higher brackets, abo-
litlon OF the tax on undistributed
profits, elimination of the normal
income tax on corporate dividends,
and disregard of capital gains and
losses in computing taxes on corpo-
ration income.
The conclusions we're contained in
report prepared for the institu-
ton by DR.. James D. Magee of New
York University.
Clear-Cut Choice Urged.
I'm the development of the pres
ent tax system DR.. Magee said,
"emphasis has been placed on such
matters as ease of collection, equit-
able distribution of the tax burden,
redistribution of national income,
and the promotion of other eco
nomic and social objectives, and
little heed has been paid to the ef-
feet on investment and capital
formation. AS result, the Ma
ton Is now confronted with a situa-
ton where a clear-cut choice must
be made. namely, to continue the
present tax system, which arrests
the flow of funds into new capital
enterprises, or to modify the system
In the interest of industrial eXpan-
sion, greater employment and higher
standards of living"
Modification of taxes was in
cluded in the recovery program
advanced by Secretary of Com
merce Hopkins some weeks ago,
and Treasury officials now are
considering what changes are
desirable)
The report, calling attention to
the sharp increase in taxes in recent
years, declared that this rise told
only part of the story"
Even the greatly increased taxes
OF the '30s," it said, have fallen
short Of expenditures by about 2.77
billion dollars annually, while the
smaller taxes of the '2Os permitted
an annual reduction in the ma
tional debt Of approximately 300
million"
Danger Point on Debt.
DR.. Magee contended that the
danger point in national debt was
that point at which it becomes
difficult. as a practical matter, to
bring the budget into balance"
and added that unless I'VE can
| promptly secure a substantial in
crease in the national income it
will be necessary to conclude that
the United States has already
reached danger point in the
growth Of public indebtedness"
DR.. Magee said that the report
had not attempted to estimate the
amount of revenue that would be
lost from the suggested changes
or to suggest other taxes to make
up the deficiency. But, he added,
''it is our view that even if there
should be, Immediately speaking,

if l marry again, without getting
a divorce?
Ans: 1t is likely that you would

is sufficient that tell you that you
need immediate medical attention.
Consult your doctor at your very
earliest convenience. He VII give
you the facts, and suggest a cure

G. T.: Do you think that l ought
to take up singing as a career?
My mother says that l have no
voice, but my teacher insists that
l show promise.
Ans: Your mother is looking at
the practical side and the very near
future, while your teacher is lock-
ing at the possibilities shown by
your previous work. Both are
right according to their individual
viewpoint. Stick to the singing as
a hobby, but do not depend on your
voice as a means of livelihood.

harm done. Don't nag him about

By Ess Bradley

Speaking of hobbies, / had the
pleasure this week of inspecting
hobby that is the result of about
fifteen years work during spare
time. Mrs. Laura Williams, 655
Rondo street, has for her hobby
doll houses. The structure is a
two-story frame house of about
twelve rooms. It is exquisitely
furnished and complete in every
detail. It really has to be seen to
be appreciated. Mrs. Williams
started working on it for her baby
daughter, Audrey. One of Audrey's
chief home duties now is to take
out all the furniture and dust
everything weekly.
1t is lighted throughout by
means of series of Christmas tree
lights. The sad note about it is
that Mrs. Williams is planning on
moving her family to California
a-out the middle of September, and
