REASONS FOUND FOR SMALL INCOME TAXES Investments in Tax Exempt Securities, Amount- is to Twelve Billion Dollars, Hold Down Revenues of Government. DAVID LAWRENCE, Consolidated Press elation.) WASHINGTON, Sept. 8.—Perusal of the income tax returns as pub- lished in various cities has inevitably aroused curiosity as to why persons known to be wealthy have paid rela- tively small if net negligible-sums to the govérnment. | The treasury department doesn't favor publicity of income tax re- turns, but on this pase of it the government would like to have peo- ple ponder carefully the statistics as revealed in-the lists as being printed by the newspaper ; Every wealthy person who is pay- ing @ trif_ing sum or nothing at all represents a potential source of reyenue to the government. The fact that such an individual is not bearing hia share of the tax burden is not blamed on the wealthy person for the process is wholly legitimate and permitted by law, There are plenty of ways to ayold taxation without violating the law.. One of the principal methods is to put funds in securities. of states and cities which of course can not be taxed as the federal constitution has heen interpreted by the supreme court as guaranteeing the states and myni- cipalities against federal taxation. It is estimated that thero are at Jédtst tWelve’ billions of dollars. in tax-exempt bonds in existence. Most of them are known to be in the hands of people of wealth. Just as soon as congress imposed a- burden? some surtax the wealthy people promptly figurd {t out that even though tax-exempt investments yielded only around 4 per cent, still that entire: per cent was frée. from tax, Whereas, an ordinary six or seyen per cent investment meant giving the government sometimes a half or even more of the income de- pending on the amount of total in ome. For ag incomes increase, the surtaxes go higher, Some. taxpays ers have found that on every addi tional ten thousand dollars they re- ceive in income they have to give the government nearly five thou- sand, -80 in considering invest- ments, many persons of means have gobbled up the tax-exempt securities and the government hag been that much poorer every year. There is no way of estimating ex- actly what the federal government might have received if there wero no tax exempts, but it would have been such a substantial sum as to enable persons of sma)! income to pay lower rates. Ap it is today the government has decided on a policy which -will~extvact more revenue from persons of wealth simply by making taxable Securities more at- tractive than they have been before and competing with tax exempts. This is not calculated to hurt state and municipal sécurities, as it i= elt there always will be market for them among people who want a gilt-edged security, Most of the peo- ple of wealth who own tax-exempts ean afford to take chances on in- veatmentaé that pay a high’ raté of interest and in which there is a flak involved. Capital, in other words, ig {n large part dormant at presen bsorbing a four per cent income when it could be making a return much larger than that. Business development is not being assisted as it should be’ by the available capital, Foreign countries which need American funda to help bulld them up are not getting what they shoull because even if they offer six and seven per cent they ean not attract the people of large wealth who promptly figure out that six per cent really meuns \hree or less when federal taxes are deducted, The treasury hopes to make It possible for the surtax rate to be diminished to such an extent that it svill not make, the .deduetion for taxes more than two per cent, 80 that a.six per cent. investment when the tax is paid will be equivalent to a 4 per cent. tax exempt and so that a seven and eight per cent invest- ment will have something of the Same appeal it used to have to peo- ple of wealth who could afford to risk their money in new enterprises. ———_>___ Business Briefs BROWNSVILLE, Tex.—Hearings will shortly begin here by the Inter: state Commerce commission on the application of the Southern Pacific railroad to extend the San Antonio and Arkansas Pi railroad from Falfurias into the lower Rio Grande Valley.
