WASHINGTON, March Is. -

future income taxes in advance.

poised to begin hearings on a new
tax program designed TO raise
between 81 900, 900 900 and S1.500,-
100000 additional on 1871 incomes.
1t has been explained that the
proposed program will not begin

1910 returns.
The plan for collection OF fed
eral income taxes in advance was
put forward as a means OF avoid
ing repeated increases in the pub
lie debt limit.
Under the suggested plan cor
porations and individuals would
estimate their income taxes Tor
the year during January. the first
month of the year. They then
would file an income tax return
and make quarterly payments on
this basis. At the end of the year
a final return would be made. me
taxpayer would either have to
nav more or get refund depend
ing upon the full years record OF
income.
