oyerhouIins the Revenue setup
| Tax Revision FiightInyoIyes !
Bosic Clash in Fiscal Policies

now is headed for a Senate
now is headed for the Senate
showdown. What is the reason
ing behind this controversial
proposal?
The basic argument presented
by advocates of the dividend re-
lief plan is that it partially wipes
out an area of double taxa
tion." Corporations pay income
taxes. Then they hand on profits
to stockholders, who likewise are
taxed on the same funds. This is
what is meant by double taxa
tion.
How the Bill Will Work.
The administration bill pro-
poses to aid the dividend recip-
tents this way:
For the year starting next
August /. a taxpayer is per-
mitted to deduct from gross in
come UP to $50 of dividend in
come received from domestic
corporations. AS of August /
1855, this figure is increased to
$100. Husbands and wives filing
joint returns get two "exclu-
sions" if each receives dividend
income.
Supplemental to this provision
is a credit" plan which would
allow the taxpayer to deduct a
portion of his income from his
total tax liability. In the first
year, this deduction would
amount to per cent of the d.
vidend income remaining after
the basic exclusion of $50 or
$100, whichever it might be. For
the second year. and thereafter,
the credit goes to 10 per cent.
Most economists agree that
taxation of dividends at both
the corporate and stockholding
level impedes the formation of
venture capital by cutting down
the incentives for saving to in
vest in corporate stocks.
At one time, a modified form
Of relief was provided in this
country's taxing system. Canada
now applies the dividend exemp-
tion provision. Republican sup
porters of the theory have
pointed out incidentally that the

revision-the little man. or the
"fat cat"
But the men who wrote the
giant tax bill insist the issue is
not that simple. They say the
argument is one as to how best
to help the little man-directly.
or indirectly.
The Democrats want to help
him directly. Under a plan
sponsored by Senator George,
Democrat, of Georgia. they
would do it by increasing the
little mans income tax deduc-
ton this year from $500 to $500,
and to $1,000 next year.
Aim at Dividends Tax.
The Republicans, on the other
hand. want to tighten the pres
ent tax on dividends. They con-
tend that this will be an in
centive for the investment of
risk capital needed to provide
the jobs that give the little man
his pay check in the first place.
They insist. too, that the
Treasury cannot afford the
Democrats increased deduction
plan which, when fully effective,
would cut about Is million tax
payers from the present total of
about II million. The adminis-
tration estimates this would re-
duce revenues by more than So
billion annually. BY comparison,
it figures its dividend plan would
cost the Government about $814
million in annual income.
The dividend provision is the
hard core of the tax revision bill
which has passed the House with

Democrats have not always op-
posed it.
When a poor market exists
for stocks, a corporation pro-
posing to expand has to borrow.
But debt interest, unlike divi-
dend payments. is a fixed OBJ
legation not subject to control
in accordance with economic
conditions. The necessity for
borrowing therefore limits the
f1exibility of business operations.
Treasury Secretary Humphrey
told the Joint Economic Com
mittee: I'm the past 10 years.
better than rs per cent of pri-
vate industry financing has been
done by going in debt instead of
selling shares
Total corporate debt rose from
$85 billion at the end of 1945
to $167 billion in December. 1852.
Only $11 billion was obtained
from stock issues in the same
period, according to the Coun-
Gil of State Chambers of Com
merce.
A vigorous advocate of the
dividend-exemption plan is G.
Keith Funston, president of the
New York Stock Exchange. He
has been seeking to interest
small investors in stock savings.
He told the House Ways and
Means Committee tax hearing
that it takes about $1,000 in
invested capital to put one
worker on the production line.
Democrats Jibe at Plan.
The Democrats, on their side,
have been. quick to tag the
Evening star., 1954-04-04

dividend plan an example of
what they call the G.. o. P.
"trickle-down" philosophy. They
jibe that the sponsors propose
to help the people at the top
primarily. and let those at the
bottom get whatever may
"trickle down."
This, Interestingly. is the ac-
custation that was hurled at
Herbert Hoover back in the days
when the Reconstruction FL
nance Corp. was set up to boil
ster the country's disintegrating
economic structure.
The House Ways and Means
Committee said the dividend ex-
clusion proposal mot only is this
the wrong kind of tax relief at
the wrong time; it is wrong in
principle"
Another argument was:
'Ninety-two per cent of Amer
ican families own no stock what
ever. OF the remaining 8 per
cent, six-tenths of / per cent
own 80 per cent of all publicly
held stock. This means that the
proposal of the majority would
be reducing the taxes of only 8
per cent of American families,
and primarily for the benefit of
only six-tenths of l per cent"
The big question remains:
Would the 90 per cent benefit
from the lift business would get
from a reduction in double tax
alton?
And, above all, would the little
man benefit enough to make the
scheme politically palatable?
