PAGE TWO lie OREGON STATESMAN Salec Oreson, Saturday Morning 7, 1936 olroMise on Corporation Earnings Tax is Proposed 'i Graduation of jLevy Favored Percentage Diverted Into Reserves to Be Basis, Committee Plan . WASHINGTON, March --)-A compromise method of clapping a broad tax on undistributed cor poration earnings, key proposal In tbo Rooserelt Tax program, was Mated today by members of a 'bouse ways and means sub committee. The suggestion, roughly, was: That If a corporation diTerts a1 high, percentage of its profits Jnto reserres. instead of distrib uting them to its stockholders as dfridends. a stiff tax should be leried on the amount so with held. Higfarr Dividends Lower Tax Rate ' That il corporation turns most of Its earnings into divi dends and diTerts only a small percentage into reserves the tax rate on the sum diverted should be proportionately lighter. ;Tbat the schedules be so ar ranged that a corporation fall ing in the later group would pay a total of federal taxes no greater than is exacted by the law now In effect. To illustrate, one committee man said a 15 per cent tax might be applied when a corporation converts 10 per cent of its prof its into reserves, and scaled up ward to a point at which a cor poration withholding 40 per cent oT its earnings would pay at a rate of 45 per cent. Such a plan, it was argued, would meet the insistence of treasury spokesmen that there be no exemption from the new cor poration levy, and at the same time satisfy general objections by permitting accumulation of reas , onable working reserves without unduly heavy taxation.
