New Plan
For Taxes
POndered

WASHINGTON. April 23-The
House ways and means committee
today discussed a new Democratic
.pay-as-you-go tax plan providing
for cancellation of from 10 TO 100
per cent of 1912 income taxes. but
no vote was taken. The bill is
backed by Committee Chairman
Robert LsDoughton Cd of North
Carolina.
Offering an estimated average
cancellation OF Al per cent. the
bill also would grant further
abatement of 10 per cent if the
uncanceled portion of the liabil-
Ilty is paid off by March Is, 1914,
and 6 per cent if paid off by March
Is. 1945.
In any case the taxpayer would
be required TO pay the undated
portion of his 1912 liability by
March Is. 1916, in addition to his
regular income taxes during the
intervening years, but he would
receive no discount if he waited
until that date.
The measure also provides for a
20 per cent Withholding levy from
pay envelopes effective July 1. with
all money already paid this year or
collected by the withholding
method to be credited against the
tax on 1943 income instead of 1872
income as now provided.

sensitive interest of this war

that Generalissimo Chang Kai-

speculation how they may be
more closely associated with the
