In happy days or loneliness,
In laughter, joy or pain.

Those same shall shine on you"

And can feel her love and care on

Complex House Bill
Imperils Income Tax
System, Paul Says
BY the Associated Press.

Randolph Paul, Treasury gen.
eral counsel, charged today that
the House-approved tax bill
erects "a mountain of complex
ity for a molehill of revenue" in
order to keep on the Federal tax
rolls 100000 persons he de-
scribed as least able to pay and
the most expensive to tax.
Appearing before the Senate
Finance Committee to amplify Sec
retary Morgenthau's reiterated de-
mand for $1o.5o0, 900 900 in addi-
tional revenue, Mr.. Paul devoted
most of his prepared statement to
an attack on the Houses own
formula for integrating the present
per cent Victory tax with the regu-
lar income levy.
The integration plan is a part of
the $2,l40,0O 900 House revenue
measure, which would increase the
yield from individual income taxes
by $226,000. 900 in contrast to the
Treasury's recommended $6,5OO, ,OOO,- =
900. OF the increase in the House bill,
$l6l ,000, 900 would come from the
8, 900 900 taxpayers whom the Treas
ury would like to exempt in order to
simplify returns.
Declaring that the matter of sim
lplificatiOn has become "crucially
important" Mr.. Paul said he was
unable to visualize any method by
which the Treasury might make the
income tax provisions of the House
measure generally understandable.
1t substitutes for the Victory tax a
3 per cent minimum levy with new
exemptions and with a provision
that the higher of either the mini
mum tax or the regular income tax
is to be paid
Putting the minimum tax in its
proper perspective Mr.. Paul told
the committee, lit Is not an over
statement to say that its compleXi-
ties will jeopardize the whole in
come tax system. Merely to collect
$l61 900 900 from 5000 900 taxpayers
near the bottom Of the income scale.
it endangers the collection of more
than $1,000, 900, 600 from over So
000,000,000 taxpayers throughout
the scale"
In the case of married couples
with separate incomes he said, the
House bill not only greatly compli-
Gates the problem of choosing be-
| tween joint and separate returns
but-because of the double tax base
and different exemptions-forces
the problem upon millions of tax
payers not now affected by it.
To meet protests that the Treas
ury's original proposal did not hit
sufficiently hard at taxpayers in
lower income brackets. Mr.. Paul out
lined two alternative proposals Un-
der the original plan SO 500 .000, 900 of
the added yield from individual in
comes would have come from persons
earning less than $1,000 a year.
One alternative would increase the
yield from that class to So, 900 900 900
and the second to $4,000 900 900
Each would increase still further the
surtax rates, which now start at l3
per cent in the first bracket.
