The taxation proposals were by
far the most startling. One In

through individual income tax

any American may retain for his
own use during the war. Two fig-
ures, $4,000 and $4,000, were sug-

system Is now In operation in Britt

earnings are limited 10 $4,000,
The other tax proposal was pri-
marily OF concern to those who own

plants, Il contemplate6 an excess

per cent Of capitalization. The sug-
gested tax rate was 90 per cent
simply because q 100 per cent rate
would be unconstitutional.

that he personally believed that
during the war, corporations should
be required to pay TO the govern
