SPECIAL DEATH
TAX ADvOCATED
New York Banker Origin.
ates Idea to Prevent Rev.
enue Loss to Govt.
BY TONY SMITH

washington, Jan. 20 - (UP) -
Congressional advocates Of the
"slkip-a-year" plan for placing in
come taxes on q current basis to-
day are proposing q special death
tax to prevent loss Of revenue to
the government.
The proposal Is designed to meet
treasury objections to pay-as-you-
60 plans that involve. forgiving
taxes on 1912 income. The death
tax would be levied In addition to
present inheritance taxes and would
be designed to recover at death the
amount Of taxes forgiven now.
This new development came as
the House Ways and Means and
the Senate Finance Committees be-
gan consideration Of bills to raise
the legal debt limit from $125y O0O,-
100000 to $4,000, 100000. The
ways and means committee expects
to complete action on 1t this week.
Proponents Of the death tax
claim It would also make unneces-
sary the treasury's reported substi-
tute for the 'skip-a-year" plan
which would cancel 1942 income tax
liabilities for those in the first STIR
tax group and write OF 10 per cent
Of the taxes on higher bracket tax
payers.
One member Of the ways and
means committee said that some
sort Of clause would be written
against "windfalls," pointing out
that there Is considerable concern
in Congress on this point. He con-
tended further that the govern
ment's reported plan for partial
forgiveness" Of 1912 taxes would
permit "windfall" ineQuities, too.
"Take the case Of a man in the
highest income tax bracket, who
pays SO per cent" this member
said. "When you figure 10 per cent
Of his taxable income it comes to
many thousands Of dollars, If he
dies during 1913 or any other
Transition" period"
The death tax idea originated
with Bradsley Ruml, New York
banker, who first proposed the
plans to write Of the 1912 income
liabilities under a pay-as-you-go
plan. The administration has APP
proved the broad principle Of pay
ing income taxes currently. But
In addition to the objection to
"windfalls," others are understood
to hinge on contentious.
/. That tax collection should be
cancelled only as q relief measure
for the taxpayers in placing collec-
tons on a current basis. Therefore,
no ned exists for canceling more
than can be doubled up without
hurting the taxpayer.
2. That the effect Of complete
cancellation Of 1912 income liabili-
ties would eliminate the impact Of
tax increases for past years, the
number Of years depending on the
income bracket Of the taxpayer. It
would be more for those in the
higher brackets.
