ENDING INCOME TAXES
Tlie idea that the individual income tax might be
■eliminated in the United States is catching on in various
parts of the country.
Several years ago it was suggested—and consider
able momentum developed behind the suggestion—that
income taxes be levied on only a limited percentage of
one’s income. However, this movement was turned
aside and has somewhat dissipated.
Now in its place comes a movement to end individ
ual income taxes. The idea, which at first seems impos
sible, is interesting and there is a possibility such taxes
will be eliminated.
Currently, income taxes supply the federal gov
ernment with $30,000,000,000 of the total budget. That
is, they comprise almost half the revenue collected by
the federal government. Obviously, if income taxes
are ended, new taxes will have to be levied to make up
the loss in revenue.
A ictail sales tax could be levied, or one of several
other proposals could be adopted. It would probably
be that several new taxes would be required to provide
the revenue now supplied by income taxes.
The greatest advantage to be realized in eliminat
ing the income tax would be the elimination of the
millions of manpower days lost each year in computing
income taxes. The U.S. citizen is now obligated to spend
a considerable amount of his time working, free, for
the government, figuring out how much of his money j
the government can possibly get.
In addition to this, income taxes are not fairly
regulated and certain groups enjoy great advantages
over other groups. Generally speaking, the salaried
worker takes it on the chin, while farmers, professional
people and businessmen often enjoy a wide range of
possible deductions.
The elimination of the income tax, therefore, and
the substitution of something like a retail sales tax,
as part of the substitute plan, would put the collection
of government revenue on an easily operated basis, and
one on which there would be little doubt as to who
was obligated to pay what.
A great amount of study and planning will be re
quired before these taxes can be eliminated.
Farm Revolt Fails |
To Show Up In
Nebraska Primary
The Republican National Com
mittee and several GOP senators
say the Democrats have failed to
“stir up a farm revolt.” But Sen.
Mansfield (D-Mont) says he be
lieves farmers “will be voting
Democratic in November.”
The GOP National Committee
got out a statement claiming the
returns from the Nebraska pri
mary—in which President Eisen
hower polled nearly twice as
many votes as Sen. Estes Ke
fauver — represented “another
sharp rebuke” to what it called
“Democratic demagogues."
The Nebraska primary Tuesday
had been watched for possible
signs of a farm belt rebellion
against Eisenhower administra
tion agriculture policies.
But the ratio of Republican to
Democratic vote totals in separate
party primaries in Nebraska fol
lowed past performances in that
normally Republican state.
In Washington, Sen. Aiken <R
j vt>, the senior Republican on the
| Senate Agriculture Committee,
| said in his view the Democrats
“made a very determined effort to
’• stir up a farm revolt but it didn’t
! take hold.”
But Mansfield didn’t see the sit
! nation that way. He said it looks
to him as though the farmers are
“keeping quiet right now but they
are watching their prices and will
be voting Democratic in Novem
ber.”
The 17 delegates nasennower ap
parently has won in the Nebraska
primary pushed his total to 666—
four more than the majority need
ed to nominate in the 1,323-vote
GOP national convention.
