The Japanese battleship Nagato

Returning Lawmakers
Study Plan 10 Reduce
1916 Taxes by 70 Pei.
By the Associated Press.

J.. With tax reduction a virtual GER
sainty, returning members of Con-
gress today studied a new proposal
to cut each individuals tax by 20
per cent next year.
Representative Knutson of Min
nesota, ranking Republican on the
House Ways and Means Committee,
suggested the reduction plan.
Under it each persons tax would
be computed at present exemptions
and rates. This would be cut by
one-flfth and what remained would
be the actual tax.
Would Be Effective January l.
Mr.. Knutson wants the plan to
become effective January /, on 1916
income. He would require employ
ers to reduce by 20 per cent each
payroll pay-as-you-go tax deduction.
Mr.. Knutson made no specific
suggestion on corporate tax reduc-
tions, but voiced the hope that ex-
cess profits tax can be terminated
forthwith.
AT news conference, he said
wages and prices must "be kept up
to their present levels, ii we are 60
ing to avoid deficit Government
spending. We must keep the ma
tional income level at not lower
than 5,o0O,O0O,oOO a year"
Can Speed or Delay Economy.
MY hope is" he continued, that
our committee will recognize that
the payments to be made in 1916
that means the payment of 1945
corporation taxes and payment on
1916 income for individuals under a
pay-aS-you-e earn program-can speed
up or retard the return of a pros
porous peacetime economy.
When we consider corporate taxes
we, must keep in mind that pay
ments in 1916 must be related to
providing jobs in private industry
and encouraging new industry to
help take up any labor slack
The Minnesotan thus joined sew
eral other tax leaders who are unan-
imously of the opinion that tax bur-
denS - individual and corporate -
must be trimmed.
Chai man Predicts Action.
Ways and Means Committee
Chairman Doughton and Chairman
George of the Senate Finance Com
mittee both have predicted legisla-
tion this fall reducing the tax load
for 1916
The tax leaders caution, however,
that any reductions must be geared
TO the budget needs of the Gov
ernment.
Mr.. Doughton said his committee
will initiate a trimming bill as
soon as it acts on pending legisla-
ton to liberalize unemployment
benefits.
