B the Associated Press, The many men and women who earn their own incomes and keep an engagement with the collector of intern- al revenue may draw some satisfac~ tion from assurances that the admin- to lighten their tax burden. When the time is propitious for & reduction in Federal income levies, they stand first on President Hoover's list of those to be benefitted and the Chief Executive’s views have the expressed support. of Secretary Mellon and nu- merous leaders in the House and Senate. But in the President’s opinion, and again his ideas coincide with those of the Treasury head, it will be at least six months before the subject can be discussed with a view to positive action. After that there will still be plenty of time before the regular ses- sion of Congress in December, Expenditures fo Govern Cut. Tax reduction, as Mr. Hoover sees it, must necessarily be governed by the sum total of Federal expenditures in their relationship to the condition of business throughout the country. Just at present no one high in the admin- istration professes to see very far into the future with respect to either. Secretary Mellon’s view is that one: mever can tell what may happen in the future, when taxes are the subject of discussion; that either Federal disburse- ments may unexpectedly increase or business conditions may change unex- pectedly and cause a reduction in rev- enues from the income tax, Furthermore, the administration is not yet sure of the effect on the bud- get of legislation enacted last year for flood control, an increased Navy and other projects, nor of the farm relief measure now in the making. In the President’s opinion, too fine a distinction is drawn between what are classed as “earned” incomes and those that go on the Government books as “unearned.” Technically, it is the difference be- tween incomes derived principally from salaries and wages and those which flow from investments or accrue from ownership. Again, and in figures, “earned” income is an income of less than $5,000, regardless of its source, or an income of not more than $20,000 which is received as remuneration for personal effort. Tax Seen a Thrift Penalty. . 1In the amount of tax paid, the citizen whose income is of the lflem:l!a:; ‘l’:‘l; riety pays 25 per cent less neghhor whose income falls into the other classification. From President Hoover's point of view, as matters now stand, the tax on “earned” incomes has a tendency to place a penalty on thrift. He bases this opinion on a belief that savings—pro- vision for the future—must be made from the “earned” incomes, while “un- earned” personal revenue usually need be put to no such use.
