EXPERT SEES HOPE INCUBAN FINANCES u. S. Economist Drafts Plan | For Shifting Burden to Direct Taxes. By the Associated Press. HAVANA, February 11.—Dr. Edwin R. A. Seligman, Columbia Umverslty‘ economist, Tuesday presented to the treasury department his plan to extrl- cate Cuba from her financial straight- | jacket. He told Secretary Ruiz Mesa he found | no reason for despair over Cuba's con- | | dition and that the lsland was one of | | the countries in best shape to resist the ezoncmic crisis’ effects. “Th: sence of our recommenda | tions,” Seligman said. “is to secure the | same revenue as in normal times from | & system which will be based to a much | Jarger extent upon direct taxes and to | 2 much smaller extent upon indirect taxes.” | Reappraisals Proposed. | Major recommendations included: | 1. A thorough survey and reappraisal | | of real estate, administration of the | | real estate tax by the national govern- | | ment and increase of the total yield of | real estate rentals taxes to about 15| | per ceat, with inclusion of idle land, | of taxes on mortgeg>s and in rate of tax on real estate seal, in the main. of the Jan- | 1931, emergency economic law, which raised taxes on numerous com- modities i 3. Readjustment of rates on inher- itance tax | 4. Abolition of the national lottery, | most of the stamp taxes, the sales tax (or its reduction to 1> per cent) and of the tax on export money and goods. 5.

Extension of the scope of the business profits tax with increase of the rate to 10 per cent, with increase in allowance for depreciation, and with decrease of the tax on shipping com- panies and abolition of installments sales tax. 7. Decrease in customs duties on foodstuffs. 8. Readjustment of motor vehicle license fees 9. Strengthening of civil service law and establishment of the revenue de- partment on a semi-automatic basis. 10. Abolition of most of the per- centage payments made by municipal- ities to the National Government, and changes in the structure of the tax department, In regard to Cuba's foreign obliga- | tions, he said it seems probable “it will be necessary to retain the public works taxes until the present loans are re- placed by a consolidated loan.” In that event, he advised retention of the one- half of 1 per cent sales tax and other public works taxes—local tax on indus- tries and business be abolished. | GRAND EXALTED RULER GUEST OF ELKS HERE John R.
