MOVE IS DILEMMA FOR F.P.R. ... BOLSTERING OF STRUCTURE WOULD MAKE VOTERS HOWL ... DECISION TO CAST LKillT ON HIS PLANS FOR 1940 ... LSDIStllHU TED PROFITS TAX REVIVAL POSSIBILITY WASHINGTON, Aug. 28. Taxes have a habit of arousing more an guish than Interest, but this year there's likely to be a touch of drama Jn the tax program. The curious financial history of the new deal seems to have readied the end of a chapter. Last winter, the president's determination to balance the budget held out for a surprising time against the most violent pressures, both from circumstances and his advisers. The budget Is now more unbalanced than ever, and the president Is ready lor an effort to raise more revenue. The drama will derive from the situation's element of choice. Under secretary of the Treasury Roswell MaglU, Assistant Secretary John Kancs, and General Counsel Herman OUphant have all but finished a careful study of the wholo tax field. Able, moderate Maglll, who Is In charge, must soon make his recom mendations to his chief, Henry Mor genthau. Jr.. and to the president. And tho first Item on tho list Is more than likely to be broadening the In come tax base. As a strictly academic proposition, the treasury tax expert and the best congressional authorities on taxes are unanimously In favor of a broadened base. The trouble Is that taxes are never strictly academic. They are ; political. And the political Implica tions of a broadened Income tax base should be clear to a feeble-minded Infant. Thus the president will be torn be tween tho conflicting desires to put his new deal on a sounder and more permanent financial footing, and to void offending millions of voters who care nothing about Indirect tax ation, but who would yell their heads off at the direct variety. His decision will cast a strong light on his Inten tions with regard to 1940. If he plans, like Clnclnnatus, to return to bis broad acres, he won't mind asking congress to Inflict a little pain on the Toters. If he has a different course In mind, he will think twice about such a cruel request. The base-broadening plan most often dlsctlssed Is that of Senator Robert M. La Folletto. The Wisconsin progressive would reduce married ex emptions from (2,600 to $2,000 and Ingle exemptions from $1,000 to 800. He would also slightly Increase . the normal rate. The yield would not bo Immense, but both he and the treasury experts regard - the scheme as more of a move In the right direction than a finished pro gram. Coupled to the La Follettc scheme would probably bo a provision for Income tax collections at the source. , in Oreat Britain, where the base Is so broad as to be almost all Inclusive, 70 per cent of the tax rev enue Is collected In this fashion. It requires far more paper work, but promises equivalent economies, as well as fi sort of anodyne to the taxpayers. To make the broadened base ft little more palatable to congress, a reduction in certain nuisance taxes Is being considered. An example men. tloned at the treasury la the present ales tax on automobile parts, since the persons most likely to be affected by the broadened base are also the lu jest buyers of second hand cars, they now pay the majority of the motor parts tax. It Is only fair, say treasury experts, that the Indirect taxation should be removed as the direct U applied. There Is a second possibility, some what more disquieting to the conser vatives who will cheer for a broad ened base. It's an ancient principle of American taxation that no con gressman will agree to soak the poor without giving the rich a simultane ous sock In the eye. Just for the look of the thing. And thus revival of the undistributed profits tax, and in creased surtaxes In the 10.000 to $4O.u00 Income groups are both under consideration. Those who know the president say he would love nothing better than to offer his enemies the sweet of a broadened base, and the our of a new profits tax In the same platter. Continue! en Pa Hv.
