TAXES, SPEN
(Continued from Pkge One.)
$440,000,000 farm program from taxeii
similar to the old AAA processing.
levies Invalidated by the supreme
court.
Taxea and relief were considered
the unly remaining major legislation
likely to raise a storm In congress
but some legislators figured that
atorm might bo terrific.
Moving carefully. President Roose.
velt has not announced a rccommen
dstlon on either problem. Uncertainty
till surrounded the administration
tax program after an inconclusive
White House conference yesterday.
Ktiggi'Hllons Unified
Tax experts of the treasury 'and
agriculture department have drafted
tentative suggestions for 000,000.000
in levies to finance the farm pro
gram and some of the bonus cost.
but the White House has not yet
pa&hcd on the proposals, so far as Is
known. The suggestions Include lev
Its on processors and some revisions
In income tax exemptions.
Senator LaFollettes bill, however,
would be more sweeping. He said he
would offer. If the administration did
not. an Income tax schedule similar
to one he proposed last year.
Besides raising taxea on the rich
it would lower the exemption for
married couples from $2,500 to 13,000
and for single Individuals from $1,000
to $800.
Would Jump Tax Rate
It would also Jump the normal
tax rate from four to six per cent
and start the surtax on Incomes of
$3,000.
Last year the LaPollette plan was
estimated to yield about $250,000,000,
but its friends believe that with the
Improvement In business since then
the revenue would be much larger.
Others in the Independent group,
both Republicans and Democrats,
were ready to Join LaFollette In op
posing processing taxes, or similar
levies. They contended these were
really sales taxes which drew more
revenue from the poor than the rich.
On the other hand, many members
of congress contended that little ad
ditional revenue would be raised by
Increasing taxes on the rich, and
that any substantial new government
Income must come from the "rank
and file."
Fortunes To Melt
One congressional tax authority
figured out a theoretical case to
show that under present income and
estate tax rates the accumulation of
huge fortunes Is no longer possible,
and even those already in existence
wilt eventually be broken up."
Ho took as an example a man with
a $100,000,000 fortune. When that
mnn dies, he said, his tax will be
$(17,362,600, leaving an estate of $32.
6J7.400 to be passed on.
If It all goes to a single son, who
earns nn average of 10 per cent a
year, his annual Income will be
$3,263,740. Out of that he will have
to pay an Income tax of $3,434,711.
This will leave him $H2D,020 a year.
Assuming that he Uvea on $SO,Ooo
a year, which the tax authority held
would be unlikely, he would add
$15,000,000 to his fortune In twenty
five years. He would then die with
$48,000,000. The tax would be $31.
000,000, and the one-time fortune of
$100,000,000 would be down to $17,
000,000. Many on Ttellef
Of the 3,707,770 persons In work
relief Jobs, the works progress ad
ministration la employing 3.BR8.30O.
Commenting on tho fact that the
Job total is now beyond 8,500.000.
WPA off I cin is said that In setting
up this figure as a goal, the admin
istration meant it to be nn average,
not a maximum. They said they had
expected the winter to show an In
crease, .
However, Informed circles said the
report would make it more difficult
to hold the new relief appropriation
for the fiscal year beginning next
July 1 to less than $3,000,000,000.
Already, because of the slowness of
other agencies in getting their pro
jects started during cold weather,
WPA has begun to scrape the bottom
of Its financlnl barrel and has started
looking around for another $300,000,
000 to keep going until June 30.
