several years.
The deduction Of drilling and
development expenditures when
made would not be affected;
but, regardless of when they
we're made, they would be taken
into account in computing the
SO per cent of net income slimi-
tation on percentage depletion.
This proposal would apply only
to expenditures made in taxable
years beginning after December
81, 1868.
(b) Grouping Of properties
This same so per cent limita-
ton imposed by Congress has
also been minimized by the
effect Of legislation enacted In
1854, which permitted large oil
and gas producers to pick and
choose properties to be COM
bined into an operating unit
for the purpose of computing
depletion and reducing taxes
the original strength and
purpose of the so per cent
limitation should be restored by
returning to the rule that diff
ferent oil and gas leases or
acquisitions may not be COM
bined for tax purposes, and that
separate interests may be COM
bined only If they are all on a
single lease or acquisition

a. Tax treatment Of gains ac-
crued on capital assets at the
time Of gift or death. Impose
a tax at capital gains rates on
all net gains accrued on capital
assets at the time of tranfer
at death or by gift.
Adoption of this proposal is
an essential element of my pro-
gram for the taxation of capi-
tai gains certainly in its abb
sence there would be no justi-
fication for any reduction of
present capital gain rate sched-
uleS.
A number Of exceptions would
limit the applicability of this
proposal to fewer than 3 per
cent of those who die each
year. These exceptions would
provide special rules for the
transfer Of household and per-
onal effects, assets transferred
to a surviving wife or husband,
and a certain minimum amount
of property in every case. Ap-
probation on property subject
to the charitable contribution
deduction would continue to be
exempt both on gift and at
death.
For those who would have a
substantial amount of appre-
citation taxed upon transfer at
death, a special averaging pro-
vision would prevent the appli-
cation of higher rates than
would have applied upon dis
position over a period years.

net burden of tax liability of
corporations, l recommend that
corporations with an annual
tax liability in excess of
500, 900 which are now on a
partially current payment basis
be placed on a more current
taxpayment schedule beginning
in 1864.
Under this plan, such corpo-
rations would make a first
declaration and payment of
estimated tax on April is, with
subsequent payments due on
June IS, Sept. is and Dec. is,
reaching a fully current basis
similar to that required of
individual income taxpayers
after a five-year transition
period. -.
vi. Proposals for Structural Re-
vision and Reform.
The changes listed below
should be effective January /,
1864 These reforms may
be divided into three categories:
l. Relief of hardship and en-
couragement of growth;
2. Base broadening and
equity; and
3. Revision of capital gains
taxation for growth and equity.
A. Relief of hardship. and en-
couragement of growth -
/. A Minimum Standard De-
ductiOn. I recommend the
adoption of a minimum stand
ard deduction Of $500 $3.50 for
each spouse filing a separate
returnD plus 500 per dependent
up to the present maximum Of
81 900. Under present law the
standard deduction cannot ex-
coed 10 per cent of a persons
income. The establishment of
a minimum standard deduction
will provide about 1920 million
Of tax relief, primarily to those
with income below $4,000.
If this proposal is adopted.
single individuals would remain
free of income tax liability un-
I'll their incomes exceeded 5000
rather than the present 1867,
thus giving them the equivalent
OF an increase in the personal
exemption of $233. A married
couple, without dependents, now
subject to tax on income in
excess Of $l.333, would be taxed
only on income in excess of
$l,500. A couple with two de-
pendents would be taxed only on
income in excess of $1,000, as
compared with $2,667 under
present law.
2. A More Liberal Child Care
Deduction. -. I recommend in
creasing the maximum amount
that may be deducted (for the
care Of children and other de-
pendents) from the present
$500 to $1,000 where three or
more children must be cared
for. I also recommend three
further steps: Raising from
$4,500 to $1,000 the amount of
income that families with work.
ing wives can have and still
remain fully eligible; increas-
ing the age limit Of children
who qualify from II TO IL; and
extending the deduction to GER

qualify - such as a married

cred and enacted as a single
integrated program.
The resistance to tax reform
should be less when it is cou-
pied with more-than- -offsetting
tax reductions benefiting all
brackets-and the support for
tax reform should be greater
when it is a necessary condition
for greater tax reduction.
v. Proposals for rate reduc-
ton:
/. Reduction in individual in
come tax rates. Personal tax IL
abilities will be decreased by
$l1 billion through a reduction
in rates from their present
levels of 20-91 per cent to a
range of 1866 per cent, with
appropriate reductions gener-
ally averaging more than 20 per
cent and covering every bracket.
The lowest IA per cent rate
would apply TO the first $4,000
Of taxable income for married
taxpayers filing Joint returns,
and to the first $1,000 of the
taxable income of single tax
payers-a reduction of 80 per
cent in the taxes levied on this
new bracket, in which falls the
entire taxable income of one
third of all taxpayers.
2. These reductions would
take place over a three year
period: 7
For calendar year 1868, I pro-
pose a rate schedule ranging
from 1875 per cent to 84.5 per
cent, reducing the appropriate
withholding rate Immediately
upon enactment from its pres
ent level of 18 per cent to a
new level of 15.5 per cent. For
purposes of taxpayer computa-
tions, the new tax rates would
apply TO the entire calendar
year, thus requiring the lower
withholding rate to minimize
over-withholding.
For calendar year 1864, I
propose a rate schedule rang
ing from ISIS per cent to IT'S
per cent, effective for the en-
tire year and accompanied by a
withholding rate of 1875 per
cent beginning July l of that
year.
For calendar year 1865 and
thereafter. I propose a perna-
nent rate schedule ranging from
IA to SIS per cent, maintaining
the Withholding rate at 1875 per
cent.

Corporate Reduction
OF $2.6 Billion

3. Reductions in the corporate
income tax rate will cut cor
porate tax liabilities by $2.6 bill
lion per year (in addition to the
reduction Of 50 billion per year
provided by the 1862 investment
tax credit and depreciation re-
form and take effect in three
stages:
For calendar year 1868, the
present tax of 30 per cent, ap-
plicable to the first S25, 900 Of
taxable corporate income Cthe
entire earnings Of almost half
a million small corporations)
would drop to % per cent, a
reduction Of almost 27 per cent,
while the rate applicable to in
would remain at So per cent,
thus reversing the present nor
NAL tax Of 30 per cent and
the surtax Of % per cent. The
normal tax would remain per-
manently at % per cent.
For calendar year 1864, the
corporate surtax would be re-
duced to 20 per cent, thereby
lowering the combined cor
porate rate TO so per cent.
For calendar year 1865 and
thereafter. the corporate surtax
would be reduced TO rs per cent
thereby lowering { e combined
corporate rate 10 AZ per cent.
A. I, recommend
that legislation be enacted
which, over a transitional period
Of five years will limit TO one
the number Of surtax exemp-
tions allowed an affiliated cor
porate group subject 10 80 per
cent common control. This
will add si20 million annually

solidated returns should
be repealed for all corporate
enterprises beginning in 1864.

Fully Effective
By Jan. 1,.1065

The tax program am recon-
mending for enactment in 1868
would become fully effective by
January /, 1865. The rate re-
ductions provide a cut in tax
ltabilities Of $13.6 billion -$l1
billion for individuals and s2.6
billion for corporations.
Other adjustments, some of
which lose and some Of which
gain revenue. would, on bal
ance. produce revenue gain Of
$3.4 billion, leaving a net re-
duction of $l0.2 billion. Accel-
Grating tax payments Of large
corporations to a correct basis
over a five-year transition
period would reduce the effect
on tax receipts to $8.7 billion.
These figures do not include
offsetting revenue gains which
would result from the stimulat-
ing effects Of the program OF
the economy go.
l. Benefits to the Economy:
Enactment Of this program
will help strengthen every seq
ment Of the American economy
and bring US closer TO every
basic objective Of American eco
nomic policy.
Total output and economic
growth will be stepped up by
an amount several times as
great as the tax cut itself -.
Unemployment will be re-
duced. as firms throughout the
country hire new workers TO
meet the new demands released
by tax reduction -.
Price stability can be main
tanned. Inflationary forces need
not be revived by strengthening

stantial unemployment an d

constructed program OF tax re-
duction o.

Here Is a partial tert OF
President Kennedy's tar mes
sage to Congress today:
The most urgent task facing
our Nation at home today is to
end the tragic waste of unem-
ployment and unused resources
to step up the growth and
yigor of our national economy
Ito increase job and invest
lment opportunities--to improve
our productivity and thereby
, to strengthen our Nations ahil-
.ity to meet its worldwide COM
mitments for the defense and
growth of freedom.
~ The revision of our Federal
tax system on an equitable
basis is crucial to the achieve
ment of these goals.
70 MY recommendation for early
revision of our tax structure is
. not motivated by any threat OF
Imminent recession-nor should
II be rejected by any fear OF
Initiation or Of weakening the
dollar as a world currency. The
chief problem confronting our
economy in 1868 is its unreal
lied potential-slow growth,
under investment, unused
capacity and persistent unem-
ployment.

Unfair Advantage
In Capital Gains

(c) Capital gains on sale of
mineral interests. Congress,
in section 13 of the Revenue
Act of 1862, recognized that
the owners of depreciable busi-
ness assets were obtaining an
unfair advantage by taking
depreciation deductions against
ordinary income greater than
the actual loss in value. and
then. upon the sale of such
property should be taxed as
ordinary income to the extent
that the cost of the property
had been deducted in the past
still permitting the excess of
the sales price over the original
cost to be treated as a capital
gain. This same rule d.
should also apply to mineral
property subject to depletion,
and would increase revenues
by $50 million.
I'D Foreign operations .
The law should be amended to
prevent an unused or excess
foreign tax credit from being
used to offset United States
taxes on other forms or sources
of foreign income. In addition,
the deduction of foreign de-
velopment costs should apply
only to the income from those
operations, and should not be
permitted TO reduce the United
States tax on their domestic
income.
.. In addition, both the ad-
ministration and the appro-
pirate committees of Congress
should study more closely the
impact of the present percent
age depletion rates. We
cannot shrink from a frank
appraisal of governmental poll
cies and tax subsidies in this
area.
8. Personal holding cOmpa-
nies. The present restrictions
upon the use Of personal hold
ing companies have been in
adequate to prevent many high
bracket taxpayers from shelter
ing large amounts of passive
investment income in corpora
tions they own and control. q.
I recommend that these pro-
visions be frightened such
action will increase annual tax
revenue by $40 million.
(c) Revision Of capital gains
taxation
The present tax treatment Of
capital gains and losses Is both
inequitable and q barrier to
economic growth.
/, therefore. recommend the
following changes, ...:
/. Percentage Inclusion. Re
duce the percentage OF long
term capital gains included in
individual income subject TO
tax from the present so per
cent Of the gain TO 30 per cent.
Combined with the proposed
individual income tax rate
rangine from IA TO 65 per cent,
this will produce capital gains
tax rates that will start at AZ
per cent Cinstead OF the present
10 per cent? and progress TO a
maximum OF 1915 per cent
tinstead Of the present rs per
cent?.
The present rs per cent
alternative tax on the capital
gains Of corporations should be
reduced 10 % per cent as a
part OF the reduction OF the
corporate normal tax rate Of
% per cent. ...
2. Holding Period. Extend the
minimum holding period for
qualifying for long-term capi-
tai gains treatment from the
present six months TO one year.
3. Carryover Of capital losses.
Permit an indefinite carryover
OF capital losses incurred by an.
individual In any one year !.

Those who supported it said il
would save lives.

general fund would be robbed of
$250,00O" by HB 16O.
1t was called ''frill'' that detracts
from other educational time and eff
fort by Rep. Haughey (RYellow-
stone).
Supporters called this bill zone of
the most important before the House.
Rep. Jensen said it was not ques-
ton of whether this program cost
money or whether some felt it was
a frill it was a Unjust" in the educa-
tional program.
The "Mule Driver" mentality was
said by Rep. Sheldon (D-Lincoln)
to indicate the complete barren
ness of the arguments" against
driver training in the high schools,
and none of the arguments against
it applied to the real problem.
Truman Bradford (D-Cascade)
said. "You might not be saving the
in the general fund, but you
would be saving lives and we
have to keep these kids alive if we
are going to educate them"

from an article by automobile in

thing is not done at the state level
the federal government is going to
