Tax Revision
Postwar Need
Nv LEWIS HANEY
Professor Of Economies, \. Y. UniVsr.It

Professor 81 Economics, \. y, University
Most people will agree that the
tax system in this country is
pretty messy and full of discrimi-
natovy provisions. One Of the
several big postwar problems is
so TO revise our tax system that
IL Will not tend 10 cause idle
money (and therefore idle men.
Accordingly il is likely that Mr.,
Ruml of pay-aS-you-go fame, when
he now gets behind the idea Of
tax reform. is doing the country
a real service. Judging by his fla.
for publicity and the good press
ne gets, we viii hear a good deal
Ct discussion Of tax reforms. That
Is me main thing.
But this new "Ruml plan of
eliminating all corporation income
taxes and relying very largely
on personal income taxes for fed
oral revenue, does not seem to
be the answer.

TECHNICAL WEAKNESS

Perhaps the fundamental tech
meal weakness of the scheme lies
in the implication that the ideal
tax system would rely upon in
dividual incomes almost entirely.
Ii is assumed that, by eliminating
corporation income taxes. we can
and should raise individual income
taxes This is a more than
doubtful assumption.
Just as one example, consider
the difference between individual
wages or other kinds of earned
income" and individual income
from investments. Individual in
comes will always differ in GER
tainty and in the intangible costs
which 60 with them. and no ar
btrary allowances and exemptions
can make $4,000 a year mean the
same 10 all individuals.

AGREES WITH RUNIL

We can all agree with Ruml
that there is some double taxa
ton when the corporation and It's
stockholders are both taxed. We
can recognize that the raising Of
Venture capital for the corpora
ton enterprise is interfored with.
There are other evils. But does
II follow that the remedy is TO
abolish all taxes on corporate in
come?
Maybe the better answer would
be merely 10 reduce the rate of
taxation on corporate incomes so
that the tax would not distort the
policies of the arrangements OF
the companies.
Or, if there be lack Of pro
gressiveneSs" in the effect of the
corporate income tax on individu-
ais. maybe the answer is 10 keep
the tax rate on dividends separate
from earned incomes" and TO cor
rect any fault by simply applying
different rates TO them.
SPECIOUs APPEAL
One main point in the way
Ruml opens this tax reform drive
is the specious appeal TO our de-
sire for full employment in the
postwar period. Frankly, | think
that much of our tax trouble
comes from mixing the revenue
raising problem up with all sorts
Of social reform schemes. Taxes
should be for revenue. But Ruml
now comes out with the claim
that his new scheme is designed
TO give not only high employment
and high production but also the
40 hour week. On top of that, he
appears to claim that by it. we
can maintain a lao billion dollar
national income.
This Is a dangerous political
background for any tax system
1t not only commits the error Of
mixing social reform and revenue
problems, but il holds out false
hopes that by having a national
money income OF a certain num-
Der OF billions Of dollars we can
attain an agreed level of high
enplOVYnent and production I"

merchant and national chair
man of the campaign, described
the meeting as a history-making
precedent, saying that for, the
first time in the country a sub
stantial number Of educational
institutions, either white or col
ored, have federated in a ma
tion-wide Embarrassing drive.
Citing this years goal as ST.
100000, Mr.. Hoving declared:
1.-THE need for such a drive on
behalf Of private colored col
leges, which face a serious
threat to their continued main
tenance, is too obvious to be
questioned"
DR.. F. D. Patterson, president
Of Tuskegee Institute, told some
thing of the thinking shat has
gone on among the presidents"
of the twenty-seven private COL
leges which are members of the
United College Fund. He pointed
out further that the financial
support heretofore coming from
white philanthropic sources is
drying up. DR.. Patterson ex-
planned that the participating
schools had raised 100000 to
finance this first annual drive.
OF this amount the schools con-
tributed $4,000 and the re-
mainder was given by educa-
tional foundations, the General
Education Board, and Rosen-
valid Fund.
