Half Of Big
Earnings May
go in Taxes
On Same Pattern
as Profit Tax

Washington. Sept. s-AP-A pro
posal for 50 per cent levy on the
excess earnings of individuals was
drafted by Senator Connally ID
Tex today as the Senate Finance
Committee awaited an outline from
the Treasury of its suggestions for
an unprecedented spendings tax.
Connally said he had asked legis-
latlve aides to draw an amendment
TO the new revenue bill patterned
after the excess profits tax on cor
porations
He explained that the proposed
amendment would fix base period
TO compute average earnings OF an
individual in much the same man
ner that such earnings are figured
tor corporations which use this
method for ascertaining excess prof
its tax liability. ...-
If an individual made more money
in 1912 than the average for the
base period, il was Connally's pro
posal that he be taxed so per cent
of his additional or excess earnings
He said some allowances would
have to be made for persons who
are on fixed salary basis with
yearly increases in pay.
Not 90 Per Cent
What am trying TO do is to tax
the increase in individual earnings
that has been brought about by the
war BOOM the Texas senator told
reporters. Some inequities may de-
yelop. but believe that this in-
crease could stand that | am not
proposing 80 per cent tax such
as we have voted for corporations. ~
