Leo Van Nicer, proprietor of
the Office Supply Company at

has been appointed the official
typewriter purchase agent by
the government.
Van Nicer said all rented type

Revolutionary Proposal
DESIGNED to Hit InfIotion
Measure Designed to Induce People
to Sove, Not Spend Their Money

One critical member of the
committee, Senator Vandenberg
Or. -Mich.) remarked to report
ers: It's the sales tax rose un-
der another name, but it doesn't
smell as sweet"
In presenting a somewhat SIM
liar plan TO the House ways and
means committee in closed SEES
sion. Randolph Paul, Treasury
general counsel, said it called for
pushing the regular income tax
as high as il could go without
imposing excessive hardship on
debtors. and then using the
spendings tax to get the rest of
the income-tax money that was
needed"
Chairman George (D.-Ga)
said the Treasury estimated the
proposed levy would yield be-
tween four and five billion dol
lars a year.
Paul said the spending tax
could apply only to individuals,
since it would be too erratic in
its effect on corporations and
might seriously impede the war
effort unless an almost unman-
agement series of complete ex-
emptions from the tax were de-
vised."
In its revised form, the pro-
posed tax was expected to be
made applicable to so-called lux
'ury spending which the Treas
ury has sought TO cut down.
George has indicated interest
in the proposal, particularly if
it is combined with some system
of post war refunds in the form
of credits for the purchase of
government bonds.
The committee turned to in
dividual income provisions of
the new revenue bill today after
having practically completed its
work on corporation rate sched-
ules yesterday with a resultant
loss of S800,000,000 in potential
there under the amount
that would have been raised by
the House bill.
Adopting the house rate of As
per cent on normal and surtax
earnings and 80 per cent on ex-
cess profits, the committee voted
TO permit corporations to take a
credit of 10 per cent of the total

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-(P)
Treasury representatives were
ready today to lay before the
Senate finance committee a rev.
dictionary proposal for taxing
the money that taxpayers spend.
Designed to combat initiation
by inducing peoples to save their
money instead of using it to bid
up prices, the Treasury plan was
understood to call for a gradu-
ated tax on that portion of per-
sonal expenditures not covered
by income tax exemptions, cred
its for dependents, debts, insur-
ance, government bonds pur-
chases, and other savings.
