TXBLLISREADY | FORHOLSEACTON Non-Partisan Measure De-| signed to End Deficit by End of Fiscal Year 1933. (Continued Prom First Page.) number of persons in the country sub- Ject to the income tax. | The maximum rate on incomes, he | sald, would be 40 per cent, to be levied | on incomes in excess of $100.000. The normal income tax rate levied on in- | eomes up to $10,000 would be 2 per | cent on the first $4,000 of net income, | 4 per cent on the second $4,000 and 6 per cent on the next $2,00. The surtax rates on incomes are graded up | to the maximum of 40 per cent. | The earned income provisions of the | present law permitting a reduction on the first $30.000 of earned income has | been changed so as to make the reduc- ! tion apply only on the first $12,000 of‘ earned income i Mr. Crisp estimated that 140,000 manufacturers would have to be| licensed under the provisions of the | manufacturers’ sales tax. Sales Tax Exemptions Listed. | The exemptions to this sales tax, he gave as follows: Farm and garden prod- | ucts, fertilizers an dingredients of fer- tilizers, garden and field seeds, meat, | fish, shellfish and poultry, fresh, dried, frozen, chilled, salted or in brine, bacon or ham not packed in airtight con- tainers, butter, oleomargarine, cheese, milk and cream In any form, eggs in the shell, bread, flour and meals, sugar, tea, coffee, tobacco and tobacco prod- ucts paying internal revenue taxes, water not contained in sealed bottles, newspapers, magazines and periodicals, books for the blind, text books for Bchools, Bibles, hymn books, prayer books, rosaries, altars, shrines and other objects particularly used in religious worship. Manufacturers will be asked to pay 8 $2 license fee. They will not be compelled to pay the tax on goods which they contracted to sell prior to March 1. On such goods the purchaser will be expected to pay the tax. Mr. Crisp, in his statement on the bill, said the Treasury had estimated $1,241,000,000 would be needed to bal- ance the budget by the close of the fiscal year 1933. He sald the estimates of the increased taxes plus the saving of $125000,000 in expenditures and saving due to postal legislation now proposed would total $1,246,000,000. “Thus we will have a $5,000,000 surplus in the Treasury, with the deficit wiped out, at the close of the fiscal year 1933 If the estimates are correct,” said Mr. Crisp. “I have no doubt that the estimates are conservative. I hope and believe conditions will improve in the country with the kxmwledg{e that the budget is to be balanced. they do improve, the returns from the taxes levied may be in excess of the estimates and a larger surplus possible.” expectation of death” or not. Big 1934 Surplus Forecast. Mr. Crisp explained that the bal- ancing of the budgét would be exclusive of the statutory debt retirement pro- yisions, amounting to $497,000,000. This, he explained, was hot obligatory on the Government ' if it did not have the funds. He predicted a big surplus in the flscal year 1984, making it possible to reduce some of the taxes now pro=- posed to be levied. Mr. Crisp estimated the increase from the revised incomg tax rates would be $112,000,000. 3 The corporation tdx, he said, is in- creased from 32 to 13 per cent, and this should add $21,000,000 increased revenue. He explained that under ex- isting Iaw corporations with an income of less than 325,000 are allowed an exemption of $3,000. Under the new bill, corporations with an income of Jess than $10,000 will receive an ex- emption of $2,000 and those with in- comes in excess of $10,000 will have no_exemption. ‘The estate taxes have been doubled, | with & maximum of 40 per cent on estates in excess of $10,000,000. The increase derived from the additional estate taxes are £ remain in the Fed- eral Treasury, although the States which are allowed to claim 80 per cent of the Federal estate tax will continue to have that privilege. He estimated that the new estate taxes would pro- duce $35,000,000 additional revenue. A gift tax, Mr. Crisp said, has been inserted in the bill with a maximum l Virginian Quits C.

There have been rumblings, particu- Jarly in the Senate and now spreading to the House, that the new tax bill would be subject to severe criticism and attack, largely because of the manu- factures sales tax impased. With the Republicans and the Demo- lcrats of the House Ways and Means || Committee uniting solidly in support of the bill, however, it was predicted 1ast night that the measure would suc- || cessfully run the gantlet of the House. What the Senate will do with it, how- ever, is another question. Representative Treadway of Massa- chuseits, Republican, predicted the passage of the bill. He said he was convinced that after the arguments for the sales tax had been presented to the House its members would be convinced the bill should pass. He said: “Representative Crisp has been au- thorized by unanimous vote of the com- mittee to introduce the new tax bill. This completes the most laborious task his committee has had during the 15 I have been honored with mem- bership. Many elements have entered into this difficulty. First, that is natural for any tax increases; second, the evidence presented to the committee by all witnesses protesting against any additional tax burden upon their special industries. This situation was primarily the reason why the com- mittee has adopted the manufactures tax which will produce approximately one-half the needed revenue, While there have been many prolonged dis- cussions of details in the committee the completed bill meets with almost unani- mous approval. It can rightly be termed, as Mr. Crisp has sald, a “Gov- ernment bill,” not a partisan ome in any sense. It has been our aim to bal- ance the budget by 1933 with as littie hardship as possible upon any citizen or business. After its details are under- stood I personally hope our work will meet the approval of the citizens in ihe section of the country with whose interests I am principally concerned.” CHANGE AFFECTS TWO Admirals Laws and Reeves to Shift || on Cole Retirement. ‘When Rear Admiral Willlam Oarey Cole, U. 8.

STAR, WASHINGTON, didate for committeeman from Virginia. “I have reached this decision alter mature thought and serious considera- tion not only of my own busi- ness interests, but the party's interests in Virginia as well. “After over 30 years’ co- tion and work with the leaders of Virginia in party matters, we are in a more militant and stronger position than ever before, and I am only claiming my share of the credit for what has been accomplished for the reason that I have had the co-operation and support of the rank and file of the party in the State. My own personal business at this time requires practically every mo- ment_of my time, and in addition to this I feel that a new national com- mitteeman could naturally harmonize those in the party who may have, for one cause or another, felt that a change should be made at this time. In order, therefore, to meet the situation from viewpoints, I asked our State chairman, Robert H.

The debate became so acrimonious that the chairman ruled all further discussion out of order and & secret | ballot was taken on the majority reso- | lutions and minority resolutions. The | majority committee's report was upheld by & vote of 68 to 48. Smyth County Republicans, however, | also meeting today, indorsed Mr. Slemp for national commitiseman. Washing- ton, Russell and Lee County mass meet- ings did not discuss him.

Anderson of Richmond for national committeeman. ;|Smokes 110 Years, Woman Uses Pipe On 121st Birthday By the Associated Press.
