That independence, Democrats
concsde. helped roll up the impress

the Republicans obliged with a

paign. In its closing days billboards

cut everybody's income tax 20 per
cent. As passed, the bill doesn't
e quite do that. If you have an In
come of 100000 or more you get
only 10 per cent cut. But UP to
that figure you get at least tbe
promised 20 per cent cut, And If
you are one Of the 20 million tax
payers whose income, after deduc-
tions, is 1000 or less, you get a 80
per cent cut.
Eminent statisticians, having Ia
bored over the matter, find that If
you are one of the 20 million men,
toned, this House bill will save you
your cigarette money, unless you
are a chain smoker. On the other
hand II you are in one of the upper
brackets, even a 10 per cent saving
will be nothing to sneeze at.
Another Side Of Question.
Regardless, however, of who gets
the real benefit from this bill, there
is another side to the question. That
Is the revenue needed to operate
the Government and meet the Ma
tion's bills. Representative Knutson,
who managed the enactment OF the
House measure, says revenues will
be reduced by only SO 1886 900 900. but
Senator Taft says the loss will be
$5,700, 900 900; difference of nearly
two billion dollars.
And then there are those Ser1a
tors, such as Chairman Millikin of
the Finance Committee, who says 1t
Is species of nonsense to enact
any general revenue law until Con-
gress has determined how much
money Is going to be needed. He
plans to let the House bill rest in
a committee pigeon hole until the
budget problem has been met:
won't even begin to hold hearings
for several weeks.
Finally, there is the Bureau Of In
ternal Reven,ie. which will have the
job of collecting the taxes whenever
Congress finally decides what the
taxes are to be. We say nothing Is
30 sure as death and taxes, but the
fact is that taxes do not collect
themselves. It requires men and
money to bring them In.
Bureau Voted Down.
That being the case, what does
the House do7 1t reduces the ap-
preparation for the Internal Reve-
nue. Bureau by 80 million dollars.
The Revenue Bureau pleaded ear
nestly, saying the Government
would lose 900 million dollars in tax
collections and that that would be
darned poor economy, but the Bu-
reau was voted down.
It's q bizarre business, equalled
only by the behavior of the Senate
Republican leaders in the case Of
David Lilienthal. After listening to
testimony for weeks, all the Repub-
hcans on the committee handling
the nomination-all. that is, save
Senator Bricker-joined with the
Democratic members in recon-
mending Mr.. Lilienthal's conhrma-
ton. But leaders like Senators Taft,
Wherry, White and Bridges are tell
ing their followers to vote the other
way.
Which brings us to the preachers
story. Il am reminded" he said.
