'ost-War Tax
*lan Reveiwed
By JAMES D. WHITE
WASHINGTON — There's *alk
in Congress about reducing ,n
come taxes after the war—but
don’t bank on that until ycu see
it happen.
We spend about 90 billion dol
lars a year on the war. and our
present national income of J48
billion dollars for 1943> yields tax
es amounting to about 45 bil
lion.
Post-war government costs is
estimated at 20 'o 25 billion a
year, so some think taxes can be
cut in half once that war cost
stops.
But many factors will decide
whe'her you will pay higher, low
er or about the same tax rate,
all of them difficult to foresee.
Here are a few of the things
wheih may mal e all the defer
ence:
First, how much will the gov
ernment need in taxes?
That 20 to 25 biUion-dolIar cost
estimate includes such expected
items as five billion interest on
the public debt, three to five bil
lion for veterans, five billion for
the armed forces and another five
billion for federal expenses—
commi'ments to state aid. pro
grams, farmers, public works,
etc.
The public debt is approaching
190 billions, and an effort to re
fire it all or in part would eat
far'her into government tax in
; |
come. Experts disagree, but fun
damental questions are: Is the
debt to be paid off, kept around!
its present large figure, or al
lowed to get even larger?
Where will ‘he government get
the taxes? Ask instead: To what
class of taxpayer will the govern
ment go for the bulk of its in
come? This is the real rub.
Middle Class Incomes
A serious consideration here—;
and one with a background of:
long economic experience—is ‘he
desire among some tax experts!
‘o go after middle-class income
brackets. These brackets do not
invest heavily as a rule in eco
nomic ventures but in the mass
represent large accumula"ions of
savings fcapitalb In the view of
some experts, this money ought
to be working Instead of lying
relatively idle in low interest ac
counts or other forms of savings.
Business interests plead that
corporation income and especial
ly excess profits taxes must be
lowered after the war. Otherwise,
'hev say, capital just will not bo
ther to invest in business or in
dustrial enterprise.
Whether or not this is true, if
, corporations are taxed less, some
source may have to be ‘axed more
to make up the difference.
Balancing the Budget
Officials estimate ‘hat if the
tax rate s‘ays at its present level,
the revenue from the $115,000,
: 000,000 anticinated post-war na-1
: ttonal income would average
about $25,000,000,000 — or just
about enough to balance the ex
pected budget.
But. should war-time excise tax
; as on certain good — cosmetics,
tobacco, liquor and patent medi- j
ernes—be removed or cut, revenue
thus lost also would have to be
made up somewhere, if the bud
get is to be balanced.
A mere shift in the method of
taxing corporations, as has been
suggested, like ‘axing the income
of individual stockholders in a
corporation instead of taxing the
income of the corporation itself,
would keep other John Does from
being affected greatly.
Remember, the rate of taxation
is what counts—not the amount

Even if a man made a generous
pile of money, if he had to pay
extra high pr ces for consumer

under control.
