URGES IMMEDIATE < REVISION TAX LAWS Secretary Houston Makes Annual Report to Congress REPEAL OF EXCESS PROFITS TAX URGED Also Elimination of Certain of So-Called Luxury Taxes. Washington, Doc. 12.? Immediate revision of the nation's tax laws on the basis of an annual levy of four billions of dollars for a period of four years, and including an increase of 2 per cent in the taxes on incomes , up to $5,000, is urged by Secretary 0 Houston in his annual report sent to congress. Repeal of the excess profits taxes, elimination of certain of the so-called luxury taxes, including the levy on soda fountains and similar beverages, and a readjustment in the rates in the higher groups of income taxes, is proposed by the treasury chief. To meet the losses brought about by these proposed changes, Mr. Houston recommends revised and new taxes to yield about $2,000,000,000 as follows: / A tax of 20 per cent on corporation profits, distributed or undistributed, in addition to the application of a higher surtax rate to yield $090,000,000. I An additional tax of (> per cent on corporation incomes to yield $4G5,000,000. Readjustment of surtax rates on incomes to yield an additional $230,000.000. Abolishment of the $2,000 exempf tion allowed corporations on incomes to yield $58,000. An increase from the present 1 per cent to (> per cent in the tax on in comes o! $o,uuu or loss and from S per cent to 12 per cent in the tax on incomes between $5,000 and $10,000, the whole estimated to yield $150,f)40,000 annually.

On the former class htV would limit the highest tax to 20 per cent, while the income spent should he subject to a tax ranging ?fr The Snow at Christmasiide ! 4* a *b SOFTL1J falls the winter twiliqht O'er ihe qraq old town, IDith its firelit windows oriqhtened, UJith its ancient bqwaqs whitened Bi) the pure snow floatinq down From the heavens Jar and wide?

But once the sky its silence broke. And song o'erflowed the earth; The midnight air with glory shook; And angels mortal language spoke, When God our human nature took In Christ the Savior's birth.

Under the plan proposed by the secretary, incomes between $5,000 and $6,000 would be taxed 2 per cent on the part saved and the same on the part spent. The same ratio with a graduated increase would apply to incomes up to $30,000 where the maximum of 20 per cent on saved income is reached. From $30,000 to $40,000, rates would be 20 per ccnt on saved and 25 per cent on spent; $40,000 to $50,000, 20 per cent and 30 per cent; $50,000 to $75,000, 20 per cent and 35 per cent; \$75,000 to $100,000, 20 per cent and 40 per cent; and over $100,000, 20 per cent and 50 per cent or a total tax of 70 per cent. j The present maximum rate is 70 j per cent on incomes of $1,000,000, but Mr. Houston declares it has "long passed the point of ite minimum productivity" since it encourages the investment in tax-exempt securities. He says the "only effective way to tax the rich is to adopt rates that do not force investment in taxexempt securities." The new rates, while not laying as high a levy against the great incomes will, the secretary expects, produce a greater return to the government, since the wealthy class will not find it profitable to invest in bonds of states, countries or municipalities which are tax-exempt, but pay a lower rate of interest. "These possible sources of income lire mentioned for the information of congress," Mr. Houston says. "While 1 shall not attempt to discuss them, attention should be called to the new and additional consumption taxes. HATS SMILE AT WINTER . .

Reasons have been given for the belief that no valid objection exists to the employment of a moderate num- J ber of consumption taxes properly | selected, but it would, in my opinion, be neither wise nor expedient to in- j crease radically the volume of con- j sumption taxes. * * The articles i included in the suggested list of ad- j ditional consumption taxes has not been selected because their use is par-' ticularly harmful or in any sense less legitimate than those not included, i Consumption taxes must bo judge 1 by practical standards. What should be sought are a few consumption taxes which tap the surplus income, which is being wasted ? not a conglomerate multiplication of petty taxes upon every article of luxurious or unnecessary consumption, which can neither be clearly defined, cheaply collected nor administered without widespread evasion." Beverage Tax. The repeal of the tax on soda fountain and other beverages is asked, the secretary says, because the collection of the ;r.x, the aggregate of which is small, has presented an administrative problem of magnitude. Added to that, Mr. Houston says, there has been constant and widespread evasion of such taxes. The excess profits tax, Mr. Houston declares, has not fulfiled the theoretical grounds up.m which it was enact ei and has been found to be wrong both in theory and inpolitical philosophy. He says it discriminated against the conservatively financed corporation while aiding materially the firms whose capitalization is exaggerated. He urges that it be replaced by some form of corporation profit tax "not only on the grounds of the government's revenue needs,' I but upon grounds ef equality and justice." The corporation profits, the secretary continues, should not be allowed to escape with a tax of 10 per cent while other tax payers are subjected to taxes on their incomes ranging as high as 70 per cent. Mr. Houston urges against the necessity for rigid economy in government expenditure, asserting that only by conserving the finances carefully can the expenditures be kept within the $4,000,000,000 annually, which ho suggests should be the basis for a revenue program. He is hopeful, however, that with the "heavy burdens placed by the transportation act" out of the way. there will be a substantial excess shown by governI To Stop a Cough Quick take HAYES* HEALING HONEY, a cough medicine which stops the cough by healing the inllamed and irritated tissues.
