Taxes on Lower
Incomes Seen
Justified
BY LEWIS HANEY

Professor of Economics, y. \. University
A Butler Pa. reader asks:
Tsn't the way to pay for this
way, and also TO pay off the
debt, TO levy gross income
tax: Why not make every In
diyidual who receives 81 or
more a month pay 5 per cent
or whatever IL would take Ia
run an Observation-Disclosures
government :"
Answer: In view Of the pro-
posed huge expenses and IN
creasingly heavy taxes. your
question deserves careful con-
sideration. !, for one. believe
that the time has come when
fine-spun theories Of social JUS
tice will have TO Yield to emCr-
eency necessities for revenue. 1t
is a time when the prevailing
spirit is that every one should
do his hit. Is Il time when "a
should admit tbe fact that taxes
have become 81 high on tho
larger incomes that they are be-
ginning 10 have harmful effects
and may brlng IN diminishing
returns.
The main argument aralnst
taxing gross income is thai such
income docs not make allow dncf
for differences IN expenses. \
poor man earning $1,000 2 year
may not be able 20 pay 81 IN
taxes as easily as a Iich man
earning 100000 can pay 81 900.
This is a valid argument. About
the only qualification II requires.
when correctly applied Is that
probably everybody eHEht 70 pay
some direct tax even l. Il be
only d few cents.
