time let me remind you that modern army is
a cross section of our specialized, mechanical
civilization and that it rates occupational skillS
even higher than they rate in civil life.

of rifemen and machine gunners. But do you
know what every executive officer is yelling
his head off for right now? Male sfenograbhers

TAXPAYERS
MAY Be INCREASED
House Group Votes To
Broaden Levy Base 10
Raise Arms Money

WASHINGTON, June S. Up -
house tax subcommittee e d
tentatively today to increase the
number of income taxpayers by
2, 1850, 900 by lowering personal ex-
emptions.
The subcommittee agreement
was to reduce the present exemp-
ton for heads Of families from
81, 500 to 1000 and for single per-
sons from $1,000 to $500. The pres
ent credit of $500 for children and
other dependents would be con-
tinued.
This broadening OF the income
tax base to raise money for de-
fens~ spending would apply to 1910
earnings.
In addition to increasing the list
of little taxpayers from the pres
ent total of about $500 to s.
800, 900, the proposal vi IN
crease the payments of all other
individual income taxpayers by
virtue of the fact that less OF their
income would be exempt.
The revenue bill on which the
subcommittee is working already
contains a tentative "supertax
proposal tc boost all individual and
corporate income taxes 10 per cent.
Thus a single person with earned
income of ST. 600 and no deductions
other than his $500 personal ex-
emption would pay a tax OF $4'4o'
The tax is figured by first de-
Quoting the 10 per cent allowance
plus a 10 per cent supertax, or a
the 10 per cent supertax would DC
500, then deducting the $500 per
sonal exemption. This would leave
added.
This calculation is based on the
present 4 per cent tax on small
incomes, which the committee may
decide to increase later.
