Washington, April SO.—The hottest of the hot potatoes which congress has had to handle in the past few months—^that of defense taxes—has now been tossed into its lap. Problems of voting billions for de fense, unlimited powers to the presi dent and all-out aid to England, al though of more world-shaking im portance, have been comparatively easy to handle because the people were clearly behind those measures. But reaching into the public’s pock- etbook without being charged with playing favorites has always beeh practically impossible. And now con gress must reach deeper into our pockets than it has ever reached be fore. Probably the final decision on what those taxes will be will take' two months or so to work out—and no matter what is proposed some groups will be penalized more than others. The house ways and means committee, which must make tax recommendations, has come to no conclusions yet except that it win! aim at raising an additional $3,500,-! 000,000 by taxes. The treasury department- has esti mated that present taxes will bring in approximately $9,000,OQO,000 dur ing the fiscal year beginning July 1. The committee hopes to comply with the treasury department’s wishes by*..> increasing tax income so that it will pay two-thirds of our $19,000,000,000 estimated expenditures during the coming fiscal year. The other ‘one- third will be met by borrowing. Many suggestions for increased taxes already have been made, vdiich include: a 33 per cent increase on all present taxes,' an increase on the present lowest tax rate from 4 to 8 per cent and working out a higher scale for other tax brackets; raising additional revenue by a general sales tax; lowering present exemptions; increasing present taxes on liquor, tobacco and gasoline; wiping out the 10 per cent credit now allowed for “earned income”; curbs on present deductions; and combinations of all these plans. It is the opinion of some congress men that taxes should be increased enough to bring in more than two- thirds of the treasury’s expected ob ligations in order to put defense on a pay-as-you go basis, but it is not expected that congress will finally vote any more taxes than are spe cifically requested by the treasury department. It is the general opinion here, however, that people in the $2,000 to $10,000 class should plan to pay at least twice as much tax next year as they paid this, yape and that millions who paid no tax this year will be called upon to pay something. Draft Amendments Amendments to the selective ser vice act are predicted for the near^ future which will include all or anyj of these three changes; (1) reducing the minimum age from 21 to 18, which would make about 3,500,000 more men eligible; (2) decreasing the maximum age limit, sqice so many men over 30 have physical de fects; (3) continuing the training of present draftees for longer than the limit to'25, but no changes ami be naade until further study has been conducted of the .400,000 draftees now in camp and ttie 4,000,00(X which already have been classing. So far almost 40 per cent of registrants have been rejected for physical defects. A plan for drafting leading,busi ness executives for ^obs in the de fense program has been proposed by Representative Johnson, of Texas, in industry, he decided to fix prices in order to prevent price rises In other lines of business. There is some question over the legality of Mr. Henderson’s right to fix prices and his action is expected to lead to a court test of the extent of his authority. Other business leaders argue that if price fixing is apt to follow wage rises, this possibility will stand in the order to assure the government of i way of quick settlement of other the nation’s best management brains, { threatened strikes. His bill would require key men in On the whole, the labor situation industry to accept government jobs * has improved and there is a more if so ordered. I noticeable desire on the part of both Steel Prices | labor and employer^ to settle thejr Many business men are indignant differences without interference with over what they consider a high- defense production. But outbreaks of handed and unwise action of the government in fre^dng steel pricM following the granting of inenas^ wages by the steel industry. This was done by the new Office of Price Ad new major strikes continue to threat en and many congressmen are still a mood to vote for legislation in curbing strikes. They feel that the majority of voters would be behind ministration and Civilian Supply them in backing such legislation. ADS For SALE IN OUR NEXT ISSUE i. 1..
