TAX PROPOSAL

The most striking single recommendation in the
report on fiscal and monetary policy by Beardsley
Ruml and H Christian Some issued by the National
Planning Association is the abolition of the corporate
income tax. The authors argue that the Federal
income tax corporations tends Cd to raise the cost
them; 20 to keep wages lower than they otherwise
might be- and 80 to limit the yield risk bearing
investments
Business judgment to what is economically
sound in of expenditure pricing capital trans
actions and the like is distorted according to Rum
and Some by tax considerations and the higher the
Federal tax the greater the distortion The taxation
OF corporate profits prior to distribution, moreover
they point out imposes double taxation dividend
income without regard to progressive rates tax on
corporation earnings is tax against the individual
owners and yet the earnings of the small investor
with small income taxed at the same rate as
those of large income Literally millions OF small
stockholders are the victims of the nequity OF this
double taxation The earnings first taxed in the
hands of corporation at full identical rates for
all stockholders and then portion of the earnings
distributed dividends to stockholders is taxed again.
but only in the latter at progressive rates.
The need Ruml and Some contend, is for revision
that would eliminate the corporate income tax as a
cost of production and distribution, that would tax

the earnings attributable to him, and that would en-

courage rather than nhibit the distribution of
ings dividends. The principal source of Federal
revenue they recommend, should be the progressive
individual income tax
The authors of this proposal recognize the prn-
cpal difficulties in the way. They point out that
measures would have to be adopted at the same time
to prevent the of the corporate form device
to avoid payment of individual income taxes or to
secure undue tax advantages over partnerships and
unincorporaed businesses. They suggest small fran
chse tax of per cent corporations. small tax
of this kind they think, would represent the value
of doing business in corporate form
The political resistance to such change would,
of course, be very great. Most people are not &C
customed to distinguishing between form of organi-
cation such and the people who constitute it.
Those who accustomed to thinking of corporations
entities apart from the stockholders who compose
them will be shocked at the idea of allowing the
porations, SUCH to be subject to only moderate
taxation The administrative convenience of collecting
taxes from corporations will probably continue to
pre- judce any internal bureau, Democratic
Republican in their favor The need for high post
war revenues will be another factor against change.
But the increasing recognition of the need of en-
couragng the greatest possible amount of venture
capital to provide postwar employment may yet give
the proposal to revise corporate taxing practices
the openmnded consideration that it deserves

He was primed and loaded with

But enroute, he met former Mayor
John Durham of Scranton, Pa, a
longtime friend and counsellor OF
Farley's, a man who has dined with
the President, wined with kings
and who once saved Farley a small
fortune by advising him not to get
mixed up in the old Pierce Arrow
Company, which subsequently went

Durham, travelling with Jim, pre-
vailed upon him to hid his peace
and his tongue. So convincing did
the former Mayor put it, that Jim
