Congressional Experts
Give Estimute on
Broader Program
b the Associated Press.

b the Associated Press.
Congressional tax experts said to-
day that President Roosevelt's sug-
gestion for broadening the income
tax base might bring l.500,00O little
fellows" under the Federal levy
Although expressing doubt that
Congress would act at this session,
the President said last week that
a reduction in existing exemptions
would give added citizenship respon-
sibilities to a group not now affected
by the income tax.
Congressional discussions of base
broadening proposals have centered
on reducing the present $4,000 ex-
emption for married persons to ST.
600 and cutting the exemption for
single individuals from $1,000 to
$500.
Estimates complied by John w.
Hanes, Undersecretary of the Treas
ury, showed that such reductions
would bring in SIS 100000 of addi-
tional revenue on the basis of the
Nations 1889 income.
Congressional authorities said the
100000 new taxpayers would pay
only one-fourth of the $56, ,400. 900,
and that the remainder would come
from higher assessments on those
already paying income taxes.
In the last few years, about s2O,-
o00,000000 net income has been de-
ported on income tax returns, but
exemptions have eliminated more
than half that sum from the base
on which taxes can be collected.
For 1887, the Treasury received
100000 income tax returns, but
only 100000 required payments.

by the repeal of the Intangible tax
law and the termination of the busi-
ness privilege tax law by its own linn
ltations on June 3, 1889"
Although there was tentative dis
cussion a few days ago of writing
a Skeletonized income tax for one
year that would yield very little
revenue. merely to find out how
many returns there would be, and
how many would be paying a SINH
lar tax in the States, such a plan
would necessitate continuing the
business privilege levy also during
the experiment.
Mr.. Morgan's redraft, on the 9TH
er hand, is designed to raise the
revenue needed to meet the Dis
trict's probable expenses for the
coming year.
While these tax developments were
taking place, House and Senate
conferees on the 1910 District ap-
preparation bill gathered this after
noon for the first time to consider
the more than s2,5OO 900 the Senate
added to the House total of S46,-
$4,000. To help meet these addi-
tional requirements the Senate.
under the leadership of Senator
Overton of Louisiana, raised the
Federal payment from $5.OOO,OOO to
s7,750,000. This will be the major
issue in conference, since the Dis
trlct's ability to provide for the
Senate increases hinges largely on
more equitable national obligation.
Explaining his revision of the in
come plan, Mr.. Morgan said in
letter to Senator King, Il have
changed the above mentioned act
in conformity with your views as
expressed in our telephone CONVEX
sation of yesterday I have tried
by such changes to correctly re-
fleet your views. 1 sincerely hope
that have done So

The new draft would require the
filing of returns by all persons
having gross income of $500, or
married couples having aggregate
gross income of that amount, re-

Fiduciary returns would have to
pe filed as follows: by every estate
producing net income of $500; by
every trust with net income over
$50 In both cases the return would
be required if gross income exceeded
$2,50O.

Salesman Found Hanged
In Basement Of Home

Willard Ellsworth Patterson, 60
year-old furniture salesman. was
found dead by his wife early this
morning, dangling by an electric
cord from a gas pipe in the base
ment of his home at 622 Lamont
street NV.
His daughter, Myrtle Patterson,
said her father had been suffering
for about five years from a nervous
disease which he feared was in
durable.
Mr.. Patterson, who came to WASH
ington from Alabama about 20 years
ago. had evidently climbed on a
chair and frightened the electric
cord around his neck. When his
wife, Mrs. Nellie Ruth Patterson
found him, the chair was over
turned nearby.
Mr.. Patterson had repeatedly
asked his physician to keep him
from being a burden to the family y
his daughter said.
Besides his wife and daughter
Myrtle he also leaves another daugh-
ter, Esther.

would make capitalists Of the
workers, completely changing their
thinking and attitude toward the
industrial system-an imperative
national need"
Touching upon what it called the
waste" and disruption of national
economy" caused by labor disputes,
the committee said strikes had cost
the Nation 81, ,470, 900 900 in 1887 and
$7,114 600, 900 in the five years of
1887.
The committee contended that
business would be helped If these
changes were made in tax legisla-
ton:
l. Specific tax credits for increased
employment, when such employers
are engaged in other than capital
expenditure projects.
2. Reasonable exemption from
taxation of expenditures for plant
expansion, new enterprises, and i'm
provements to existing facilities.
3. Exemption from capital gains

capital losses of gains and losses
realized by first purchasers of Sc

4. Garry -over of losses attendant
upon operation of new enterprises
or development by existing organ

5. Increase in deductible allow
ances for depreciation and obsoles-
