WASHINGTON, June 24. The pol
itical frosting was so thick on Pres
ident Roosevelt's wealth-taxing pro
gram that some
confusion has
developed aa to
what Is In the
cake underneath.
If there la a cake.
The best tax
l economists out
side the govern
ment have been
caning on It
among them
selves to separate
the froth from
the substance.
What they have
MALLON
found la that, no matter now you
slice these wealth-sharing
etiKttes-
Hons, they still amount
to little
more than good
campaign slogans.
Not only from them, but also from
good new deal sources, you can learn
off the record that this phase was
Intended primarily as a little polit
ical sweetening for Huey Long, who
has been sour on the new deal
lately.
Mr. Roosevelt wisely neglected to
mention any rates for his wealth
sharing inheritance taxes. This makes
It difficult but not impossible to get
a good Idea of what to expect from
them.
The only rat guide you have. Is
the one offered by Treasury Secretary
Morgenthau a few weeks ago. When
the bonus was up. he suggested a
schedule of extra-heavy Inheritance
rates, matching existing surtax rates,
lie estimated they would raise- 8300.
000.000 a year, possibly more. Presi
dent Roosevelt does not want to ro
that far. so. If you take the 8300.
000.000 revenue expectation from this
source, you will have an optimistic
advance guess. i
It you slice this up among 120.
000.000 people, you will find that
your ' slice would be 62.50 a year,
which you would not get because it
would be applied to reduction of the
federal debt.
And If you apply It to a 829.000,
000.000 debt and compare It with a
$8,500,000,000 budget, you can see
that Mr. Roosevelt will have to go
cut and slay a lot of millionaires fast
to get nis books balanced that way.
The truth Is that the government
may break up a few hundred fortunes
this way. but that the great bulk of
the wealth of the country does not
lie In these bulging reservoirs.
To et it another way: 133 estate
taxes were paid In 1933 on estates
valued at more than a million dollars
each. The net taxable worth of these
estates was 284.000,000: the federal
tHX paid S28.OO0.00O. If the govern
ment had seized the.11 estates entirely
by a 100 per cent tax on them. It
v.ould have received only $256,000,000
more than it did. No one Is proposing
to co more than half that far, in
cluding Mr. Roosevelt.
Slice the froth off the plan for
taxing more heavily the incomes of
more than a million dollars, and you
will find the same thine. In 1933
there were exactly forty-six persons
In that class (in 1929 there were

the president.
One of the leaders, asked whether
his understanding was that Mr.
Roosevelt would insist the taxes be
acted upon before congress adjourns.

"I assume so."

President Roosevelt's proposal for

Dr. J, H. Franklin, president of

Striking at repeal without men

LESS TH1SJEAS0N
WASHINGTON, June 34. (AP) A
prediction that fewer hoga will be
slaughtered this summer In the Unit
ed States than for mnny years was
made today by the department of
agriculture.
It said stocks of pork on June 1
were smallest for that date In 20
years, and stocks of lard were the
smallest In 13 years.
Inspected hog slaughter In May was
reported at 3.173.000 head, about 48.8
per cent smaller than In May last
year, and tho smallest for that month
since 1696.
For the eight months of October
May, hogs slaughtered under federal
Inspection totnlcd 34.016,000 head, 34
per cent less than the corresponding
months In 1033-34.
The second wave started In De
cember. 1833, from a trough at 67.1,
or aubstsntlally above the previous
bottom. It worked up to 70.8 In May.
1934, falling to get as high as the
previous e r e a t, then slid down
through August.
The trough from which the third
wave started was S3.2. In September,
somewhat below the previous one,
but still well above the 55 level from
which the first wave atarted. The
upward sweep carried Into last
March, when a crest of 84 8 was
reached, which again failed to top
the crest of that flrat steep wave.
Just where the third wave ends is
yet to be determined declslvly. If
the nine-month pattern Is to be
followed precisely, the low point
should be this month. Standard Sta
tistics Co.'s pretlmlnsry estimate 01
Its Index for this month Is 74 3. well
above the b o 1 1 o m a ot previous
