Members Of the House Ways and
Means Committee. searching for
ST 600, 900 900 in new general reve-
nue.. appeared to ne giving increas-
ing though reluctant attention yes
terday to general sales tax.
A poll Of the rs members showed
only q few were willing at this time
to commit themselves to that method
of obtaining new funds to help pay
for 1928 $560O0, ,000, 900 war pro-
gram. But many others said they
regarded it as comparatively pain
less tax that I'VE may have to come
around to-"
In asking $1,000, 900 900 Of new
general taxes. in addition to $2,000,-
000. 900 of new social security levies.
President Roosevelt said that in the
past he. had opposed general excise
and sales taxes but added:
TN the face Of the present fnan-
cial and economic situation. how
ever, we may be compelled to recon-
slider the temporary necessity Of
such measures"
Treasury Suggests Increases.
Preliminary suggestions advanced
by the Treasury. it Is understood,
have made no mention Of a sales
tax and have involved chiefly in
creases In present taxes.
One Treasury suggestion. men,
bers Of Congress said, was that in
come tax exemptions be lowered
from $500 to $1,000 for married
couples and from $3.50 to $500 for
single persons. Others involved In.
creases in corporate taxes and ex-
else levies such Is those on liquor,
tobacco and gasoline.
Asserting that these proposals
would not raise sumcient revenue,
Senator Taft, Republican, Of Ohio,
said 1t was becoming evident that
to meet the Presidents budget Con-
gress would have to resort to a sales
tax or q withholding tax whereby
the Government would take a per-
centage of each pay check.
He added that he would prefer a
payroll tax, possibly of 10 per cent,
because It would be less infationary
in its effect than sales tax"
Not Ready to Indicate Rate.
No member of the House Ways and
Means Committee was ready to say
what the general sales tax rate
should be, If one were enacted, and
all emphasized that decisions on any
levies would be deferred until after
extensive hearings on all revenue
raising proposals.
