Washington, Oct. 12.—“Expect lit tle and you’ll not be disappointed,” Representative Earl Wilson of Indi ana wrote his constituents in regard to the new session of congress. Rep resentative Wilson declared that con gress has no program and that most members of both parties are pri marily concerned with getting re elected next year. The black picture painted by Rep resentative Wilson may be over- pessimistic. But there is increasing evidence that politics, which con gress Anally did side-track on a few occasions during the past year, will from now on pfay a stronger and stronger part ia the consideration of all legislation. The big demonstration of this will come when congress begins analyzing the gigantic new tax programs pro posed by the President. A general principle of good “politics” always has been to vote for all appropri ations and agauui all taxes. Every congressmen knows that the easiest way to lose votes is to levy increased taxes on those he wants to vote for him. But since congressmen know that some new tax legislation must be passed, there will be a grand scram ble, on the part of most members, to see that the new taxes are levied cm anybody mother than those they rep resent. Congressmen from farm areas will oppose all levies that would take tax money from farmers, congress men from industrial areas will try to protect labor from further taxation, and congressmen from wealthy areas will Aght against higher taxation on high incomes and on corporations. The President’s program, which will be the starting point for working out tax plans, calls for increased taxes on medium and high incomes, part of which would be rebated af ter the war. It also asks for high ex cise taxes on luxuries, including a big boost in the tax on alcoholic bev erages, cigarettes, cigars, theater ad missions, transportation and toilet preparations. UnderHhis plan theater admission taxes would be raised from 10 to SO per cent, liquor taxes from $8 to $10 a gallon, transporta tion taxes from 10 to 30 per cent cigarette taxes from $3.50 to $5 a thousand, and there would be new taxes on soft drinks, candy, gum, greeting cards and other non-essen tials. It is likely that these excise taxes, with some revisions, may go through. They don’t hit any consumer group too hard and their passage wouldn’t influence votes as would direct in come taxes. But it seems very doubt ful if the whole amount asked by the President—a total of $10,650,000,000 in extra taxes — will ever be pro vided. There is expected to be a great deal of debate over the proposed high increase in taxes on alcoholic beverages which may take on the complexion of a debate on the enac tion of national prohibition. For it Is feared that additional taxes on liquor would make the cost of it so high that it would act as an open invitation to bootleggers to go back in business on almost as wide a scale as during prohibition days. The most optimistic predictions,of cogressmen are that congress might enact from Ave to six billion in ad- ditionaL taxes but there are few that expect any new tax legislation to be passed before next year. And the working out of a program will be slowed up by pressure groups. But until tax legislation Anally goes through, there is no doubt that con gress will consider little other major legislation. Members will continue to discuss the draft of fathers until each member has had his say “for the record” and will probably then spend its time with such intangible consid erations as postwar planning and postwar relationships with other countries.
