CONGRESS MIGHT
END EXEMPTIONS
ON ALL INCOMES
Plan Proposed by Chairman
of Taxation Committee
of Accountants
WOULD COLLECT ALL
TAXES FROM SOURCE
Claim Plan Would Give All
Proportionate Share of
Federal Burden

Washington, Aug. 21-AP-A rec
ommendation that Congress wipe
out completely all tax exemptions
on personal incomes was laid be-
fore the Senate finance Commit
tee today by Waite A. NJ. Cooper,
chairman of the taxation commit
tee of the American Institute of
Accountants.
Present exemptions are $4,000 for
married persons and $500 for single
individuals. The Treasury has rec
commended a reduction to 81 ,50O and
$50, respectively.
In prepared statement, Cooper,
a resident of White Plains, N. Y,
also urged tina. normal income
taxes be withheld at the source of
all payments of salaries, dividends.
interest "and other fixed or de-
terminable income" Social securi-
ty taxes now are collected in a
similar manner.
The recommendations, Cooper
said, were base, on five considera-
tions:
/. The federal government orig
inally set up the income tax ito
add little gravy to the federal
revenue" Now. however. the levy
is the governments chief revenue
producer.
2. "Our defense is being de:
veloped to prevent the right of
everyone to live and to earn any
income whatsoever and there is no
reason why every person in the
United States should not contribute
a share of that burden. proportion
ate to the amount OF income, II
any.
3. "The imposition of tax on all
incomes without exemption would
tend to prevent initiation OF prices
and probably would be more help.
full in accomplishing the desired
result in that respect than any
thing heretofore suggested.
Fhe collection at the source
would : - make the problem OF
collection simple: than 1t is to-
day. 80
5. Elimination OF exemption
would produce vsry substantial
amount of revenue"
In another field OF taxation. the
Distilled Spirits Institute told the
Finance Committee in a prepared
statement today that taxes on dis.
titled spirits had been increased
273 per cent since repeal and can
be raised to the point where legal
sales and public revenues will
suffer alike to the benefit OF the
bootlegger and Illicit producer"
