Flat Deduction Planned.
However, the withholding system
does not now cover the exact liabil-
ity, and taxpayers must file returns
as usual each March IS, settling with
the Government for the difference
between amounts withheld and
actual tax liability.
The Ways and Means Committee
wants this system simplified to take
the exact tax for as many taxpayers
as is possible, putting the withhold
ing system on graduated basis.
To effect the change, the commit
tee proposes to allow a fiat 10 per
cent deduction in arriving at the
tax base, in lieu of the present de-
ductions for other taxes paid, con-
tributions and interest paid.
Unless taxpayer desired to claim
more than 10 per cent for such de-
ductions, he would be fully paid up
on his income tax at the year end
and would not be bothered with the
computation and filing of return.

Thomas H. Lane, director of ad-
vertising for the War Finance Di-
vision, told the group that the
Treasury Department "does not
spend 10 cents Of the taxpayers
money to purchase advertising
space or radio time. Yet from pre-

vertising campaign this country has
lever seen-valued at more than $685.
100000 dollars in this brief four
week period"
mfr. Lane said the forthcoming

strong legislative body"
Earlier in the day, the society

fear is that we may fail again to
finish it."
Ee said the critical period for
Germany will come about IS years
after the armistice when the men
who fought in the war will begin
to disappear and new generation
will be taking over. 1t is then, he
said, when the people of Germany

terms of the treaty imposed on them
by the Allies.
