to this provision from those affected
it will be necessary for those who
strike it out to suggest where $780,
600. 900 can be raised from other
sources to take its place.
Problem Of Exemptions.
Many persons insist that these
exemptions should be lowered so
that every person eagning any sum,
however small, should pay an in
come tax in order that they may
become tax conscious, and thus
probably refrain from making de-
mands upon their Government for
huge expenditures from public funds
for the benefit of various groups.
We must meet practical problems
in a practical manner. In prepar-
ing a revenue measure we must
determine as nearly as possible how
much revenue a particular tax will
raise, how much it will cost to
collect it and what its effect will be
upon the taxpayers and the general
economy Of the country.
In addition to the ability to pay
income taxes. there must be con-
sidered also the large sums collected
from excise taxes, which are con-
sumner taxes, and therefore fall upon
everybody but most heavily upon
those whose entire incomes are con-
sumed by necessary living expenses.
These lower income groups bear
ppyoximatelv rs per cent of the
excise. or consumer taxes.
Those earning $500. or less (and
there are more Of them than We
should have, pay as great a per-
centage of their income in taxes
as those in the $1,000 to $4,000
group, and those earning between
$500 and $1,000 pay as great
percentage as those earning between
$4,000 and $4,000 So, if you will
look at the record you will see that

until it is finally reported out by the
committee in about two weeks. A
brief discussion, while technical,
may pe of interest to the many of
You who are directly affected.
Respecting individual incomes,
the present exemptions and deduc-
tions are retained, as we'll as the
present 4 per cent normal tax and
10 per cent earned income credit.
The principal change lies in the re-
ductiOn OF the amount before apply
ing the surtaX rates. Under the
present law the surtax begins at
$4,000 and increases in percentages
on each $4,000 bracket. Under the
proposed law a surtaX rate of per
cent-and that is in addition to the

gencies countries cannot balance
their budgets-a large part of the
expense must be passed on. If we
are right in our defense policy, and
1 believe majority of our citizens
are convinced we are. financing it
is just as much the problem of those
who are to come after us as it is
our problem. Liberty and opportu-
nifty will be just as dear to them as
it is to us and they will have to
bear a part of the expense of pre-
serving the old homestead.
In this talk tonight it is not pos
sible to discuss in detail all the pro-
visions of the proposed measure.
While the committee has tentatively
agreed on the items to be included
In it and the rates which are to
apply, it will be subject to change
Evening star., 1941-07-15

and that such necessary living costs
should not be subject to an income
tax. 1t seems to me that this rea-
sOnlng is entirely justified when we
realize that such incomes are SUBJ
jected to all forms of taxation, with
the possible exception of State in
come taxes, for the support of the
States, the counties, the munlclpall-
ties and the public school system.
As a matter of fact, there are about
10000 separate and distinct tax
collecting units in the United States.
They are also subject to State sales
taxes and nearly all forms of excise
taxes imposed by the Federal Gov
ernment, which I shall discuss later.
Under the present law exemptions
are $500 for single persons and $4,000
for married persons, and an addi-
tiOnal exemption of S400 for each
dependent or child under l8 years
of age. The same exemptions are
retained in the proposed bill,
There has been included by the
committee a proposal to require Joint
tax returns by husband and wife.
which means that where husband
and wife each has an income it
would be added together for the
purpose of determining the rate to
be applied. and when the amount
of tax has been determined it
would be levied and assessed against
each party in the proportion that
the income of each bears to the
whole.
Under the present law both hus-
band and wife may make a sep
arate return. one of them taking
the exemptions as head of the fam
lily and the other a single person
exemptions, thus obtaining consid-
cradle benefit in the amount of tax
paid. There are a great many in
stances where a husband has trans
ferred to the wife large sums of
money and paid a gift tax so that
the wife might make a separate
return upon the income from such
property and the husband avoid
payment in the higher brackets. A
gift tax is paid but once and the
income tax recurs each year.
Considerable opposition has arisen

Heavy New Taxes,
Duncan Declares
Proposed Revenue Bill
Topic Of Representative
In Forum Speech

Representative Duncan, Democrat,
OF Missouri, member of the House
Ways and Means Committee, dis
cussed the new tax bill soon to go
before the House in an address last
night in the National Radio Forum,
arranged by The Star.
The talk was broadcast over ma
tional hookup Of the National Broad
casting Co. and was heard locally
over Station WMAL.
The text of the speech follows:
Within the next 60 days the Rev.
enue Act of 194l will likely have
become a law, and the American
people and American business will
be called upon to pay more taxes
than ever before in our country'S
history. The foundation for that de-
mand upon the taxpayers is the fact
that our country is facing the most
serious situation in its history
Before discussing the provisions Of
the Revenue Act. may I take a few
minutes to tell you about the prep
aration of such an act. OF course,
you know that under the ConStltu
tlon all revenue measures must orig
mate in the House of Representa-
tives, and under the rules of the
House jurisdiction is conferred upon
the Ways and Means Committee,
made up of 25 members-15 major
itv members and 10 minority men,
bers. And may I say here that dur
ing the six and one-half years Of my
membership on that committee, l
have never seen its dellberation so
entirely free from partisan conSid-
erationS. There were many differ
ences of opinion among the men,
bers, but in settling those differences
party lines were absolutely ignored.
2O2 Witnesses Heard.
Beginning on April "a, open pub
he hearings were held, and all who
desired were given an opportunity
to be heard. Those hearings eX-
tended over period of about five
weeks. Two hundred and two wit
nesses appeared and testified, and a
total of 30l briefs. letters. resolu-
tions. kilograms and written state
ments were Incorporated in the rec
ord. Thereafter, the committee,
with the aid of Treasury Depart
ment officials, and the committees
own corps of experts, spent several
weeks working out the various
schedules.
No more complicated and techni-
cal problem faces any committee
of Congress than the preparation of
a revenue measure. 1t not only
requires the combined efforts of
tax experts. but the utmost inge-
nuity of economists. statiSticians and
lawyers with special training in the
field of taxation must be summoned
to the task Our dual form of gov
eminent and the highly complex
nature of our business structure
necessarily complicate the prepara-
ton and drafting of such measure.
Since ratification of the 18th
Amendment to the Constitution in
1918, and passage of the income
tax laws, our system of taxation has
been based, as far as possible, upon
the theory of ability to pay. This
theory unavoidably presupposes that
income below fixed amount are
consumed in necessary living costs,
