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.
A tax of 2 cents a gallon on gasoline
for motor cars and all other
purposes, to yield $1)0,000,000.
Tax on Motor Cars.
A federal license tax of 50 cents
per horsepower on the use of motor
cars, to yield $100,000,000.

And angels mortal language spoke,
When God our human nature took

as high as 50 per cent. 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.

*-WAY, 8. 0., PEC. 16, 1920.
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
