end deficit spending; the second,
to cut taxes.
So last week he gave this as his
recipe for the present:
. Ercess profits tar on corpora
tionS. Extend without modification
for six monthS-to December 81
this impoSt which taxes some cor
poration incomes as high as 80
cents on the dollar.
. Normal tar and SurtGr on cor
porations. Rescind the reduction
scheduled for April /, 1854.
. individual income tar. Allow
the present law to operate, reduc-
ing taxes by about 10 per cent in
the middle and lower brackets
effective January 1, 1854.
. Ercise tar. Rescind the April /,
1854, expiration date on higher
levieS on some commodities.
. Old-age insurance tar. Postpone
for one year the scheduled increase
from ~ to 2 per cent on both en-
ployers and employees.
Meanwhile, the President said,
his people would be working with
Congress on a major overhaul of
the existing tax structure-thef first
such revision in many years.
PIonned Performance
What, exactly, would this pro-
gram do, and how much would it
bring in or cost the Government?
. Ercess profits. At present, about
IS or 20 per cent of the corpora
tions in the country pay not only
the regular taxes on their earn
ings, but excess profits" taxes as
well. Often the profits are not
excess at all; in fact, a concern
can make less than its normal in
come and still pay this levy. Such
facts make its enemies refer. to
it as completely screwball levy,
and-as Senator Taft of Ohio said
last week-"vicious" in the bar
gain. An example of how the tax
can work is given in detail in an
article by William Hines on Page
AT.
This law, passed in January,
1851, is due to expire June 80. The
President proposes to keep the law
in effect until December 81, rails
ing an estimated $500 million more
revenue thereby. In his message
to Congress-, Gen. Eisenhower
pointed out that the acts evils
would remain throughout 1858
after the law died (because of the
system of figuring the taxi and
that therefore it might as well
stay in effect throughout the year.
Mr.. Reed wants the law to die
a natural death on June 80.
. Corporation tGres. At present,
there are two phases of corporate
taxation, the normal tax and the
surtax. A change in this levy Is
due April /, 1854.
The normal corporate income
tax Is now 80 cents on every dol
lar earned by a business.
The Surtax is % cents on every
dollar over '$25,000 earned in q
given year. Excess profits taxes
of 80 cents on the dollar, added
to taxes Of some firms, can raise
the total tax take to 81 per cent?.
The present law calls for normal
taxes to drop back from 80 to Is
per cent and for the "a per cent
surtax to remain unchanged. This
would mean, in most cases, a cut
back in corporate income taxes
from So to Al per cent.
President Eisenhower wants the
April l, 1854, cutoff date removed
and the 50 per cent levy retained
for the present. This change would
have no effect On revenues In is
