CONGRESS TO
MAKE A FIGHT
ON THE TAXES
WASHINGTON, Nov. 22. —One of
the first acts of Congress will be to,
revise the revenue bill—such, at least
is the view of politicians anti students |
of tax questions here.
The object will be to remove a
number of inequalities written into
the hill by the conference committee,
and past'd without discussion in the
session’s closing rush.
To he effective, the revision will
have to be accomplished before Jan
uary 1. when the sections in dispute
become effective. This means that
the light will have to start as soon as
Congress assembles.
The attack will center on the pro
vision of the bill which subjects to
a tax of eight per cent the earnings |
over $0000 of profesional men and
others who happen to make their liv
ing witho.ut capital or with any nom
inal capital, with the single notewor
thy exception of Congressmen and
other government employes who are
specially exempted.
The attack will be directed against
two points; first, that this special t:ix
is unjust in that it falls only on pro
pie who work for their living, and not
on tin' idle rich, whose incomes from
interest, rents and other kinds of un
earned income escape this special levy
the highest flat rate of taxation con
tained in the bill, second that the ex
emption of the earnings of Congress
men and other government officials is
arbitrary and indefectible.
The last point is the entering wedge
which is counted on to force Con
gress to reopen the entire question.
Every representative and a great
many of the senators will be up for
re-election next fall, and each knows
his opponent could have no more ef
fective line of attack than to point
out that he voted for an inequitable
and arbitrary tax on people who earn
their living, and then voted to exempt
himself from the operation of that
tax. These candidates for re-elect
ions also know that this eighty per
cent tax on earnings falls on the most
influential men in their districts
lawyers, doctors and other profesio i
al men.
After the question is reopened the v
will also be an atempt to modify the
excess profits tax in those features
which make it bear more heavily on
partnerships and individual business
es than upon corporations. This arises
partly from the fact that while cor
porations can pay their officials large
salaries, partnerships and individual
business men would be held guilty of
attempting to evade the law if they

salaries for the same kind of services
which coi|)oration officials perform.
As soon as the door is open, the
special interest lobbies representing
automobile manufacturers, patent
medicines, and the hundred and one
articles specifically taxed by the bill,
will get busy. It will require the most
adroit and careful handling of the sit
uation by the administration leaders
to avoid reopening the bill for discus
, sion and revision—which everyone
' agrees would be disastrous in tne ex
: Ireme, because of its unsettling effect
on governement finance ami the com

For this reason the administration
leaders, Kitchin and Simmons, are ex
pected to fight any proposal for revi
i sion, no matter what the injustices
may be.
