State income tax, would be subject to | ment recommended by the Efficiency FIGHT PROVISION CONFEREES NAMED IN MAPES BILL Maryland, Virginia Groups Hit Tax on Non-Resi- dent Incomes. Protests against a provision in the Mapes income tax bill for the District which would tax the income on non- | residents were made to the Senate Dis-| trict Committee yesterday afternoon by J. Bond Smith, chairman of the Legis- lative and Legal Action Committee of the Montgomery County Civic Federa- tion, and H. J. McGrath of the Arling- ton County Civic Federation. The committee concluded hearings on the bill shortly after receiving these protests, but Chairman Capper said he was uncertain when a report would be prepared. Money Spent Here. Smith pointed out that probably more than one-half of the income of the average resident of Montgomery County is spent in the District. As a result, he said, this increases the in- come of the District and the taxes which the District will derive, while Maryland will not be benefited and the tax will not make possible an increased amount of taxes for Maryland. He called attention to a resolution adopted by the Montgomery County Federation describing the bill as “inex- pedient and oppressive” because it seeks to impose for the benefit of the Dis- trict an income tax upon persons who are not residents. Cites Report. “The unfairness of the proposed ex- tension of taxation of incomes to non- dents of the District of Columbia,” ! Smith declared, “is well illustrated in a portion of the Bureau of Efficiency report dealing with reciprocity with the States. and the bureau suggests a pro- viso to be added to section 10 provid- ing for reciprocity with States which now impose and collect an income tax on their residents. “It so happens that the State of Vir- ginia does levy and collect a State in- come tax, whereas the State of Mary- land has thus far found it possible to secure sufficient revenue without the imposition of such a tax. Even if the proviso suggested by the bureau should be inserted in the bill, Maryland resi- dents would, therefore, not be affected “Under the present situation. the in- come tax proposed to be levied on Mary- land residents under the pending bill is in all respects an additional tax not compensated for directly or indirectly as in the case either of the residents of of Virginia. Declared Oppressive. “Under these circumstances, there can be no question that the tax is not only oppressive to that extent, but is cbjectionable because of its discrimina- tory features toward residents of Mary- land.” Smith said if the committee adopted the Bureau of Efficiency recommenda- tion for reciprocity with other States imposing an income tax, a proviso should be added to the bill stipulating | that no tax should be imposed on non- | residents of the District who are resi- dents of States in which no income tax is levied. Warned by Donovan. Maj. Daniel J. Donovan, District auditor and budget officer, tcld the committee if Smith's recommen<ations are adopted, residents of Maryland weuld entirely escape the District tax, whereas those in Virginia, which has a the District ax. Such a situation, he said, would be inequitable and unfair, | and to preclude it he urged on behalf | of the District Commissioners an; amendment to a Teciprocity provision propcsed by the Bureau of Efficiency, which would require non-residents in States not having an income tax law to pay a tax to the District on their in- ible personal property. McGrath pointed out that many Arlington County residents employed or engaged in business in the District wculd not be affected by the proposed income tax under the reciprocal amend- Bureau. He also declared it would ve illegal for the District to tax the income of Federal employes as a local tax. Maj. Donovan explained later that the Commissioners had agreed to an amendment eliminating ncn-resident Federal employes from the provisions of the bill. Insurance Amendment. Representatives of a group of life in- fire insurance, casualty and ¢ c-mpanics proposed an amend- ment to exempt such corporations from the income tax on the ground that they already are paying to the District either | a gross income tax or a tax on premium receipts. Chairman Capper explained that the entire section cf the bill deal- ing with taxes on corporations would be considered later in a saparate bill which also would cover public utility corporations. Those who urged the amendment in- cluded Hobart S. Weaver, Association of Life Insurance Presidents; F. S. Dickson, National Board of Fire Under- writers: H. J. Drake, Association of Casualty and Surety Executives, and Howard Casey, general counsel for the ON ECONOMY BILL House Disagrees to Furlough Plan—Plans to Separate Appropriations. R C SR « ‘ontinued From First Page.) main feature made last-minute appeals to the Senate not to substitute the fur- lough system, pointing out the House re- jected the Presid=nt’s furlough method by a 2-to-1 margin. They predicted the House would not accept it in confer- ence and the economy bill would be wrecked in so far as any substantial saving in Government expenditudes is concerned. The sudden reversal of policy on sal- ary reductions so near the final passage of the bill led to a wide range of esti- mates by different Senators as to how much the bill as a whole will now save the Government, and also as to what may become of certain sections origin- ally placed in the bill to conform to the flat pay cut and not eliminated after the furlough plan had been substituted. For instance, the Economy Commit- tee, figuring that there would be a flat pay cut, had incorporated an auxiliary furlough paragraph which they said was designed only to avoid outright dis- missal of employes in isolated cases where Congress might inadvertently fail to appropriate enough money for exist- ing personnel. Annual Leave Reduced. The clause recommended by the Economy Ccmmittee, permanently re- ducing annual leave of employes from 30 to 15 days, is still in the bill, but the Moses furlough substitute for the flat pay cut states that all annual leave is suspended during the fiscal year 1933, while the general {urlougn plan is in operation ‘Whether this 15-day annual leave clause is to become law is one of the questions remaining to be thrashed out in conference with the House. Even if it should be left in, however, it would be inoperative during the coming year if the furlough provision 1s retained in its present form. The Economy Committee had esti- mated in its report that the reduction of annual leave with pay to 15 days permanently would result in a saving to the Government of $22.000,000. As it came from the Special Com- mittee a week ago, the economy bill was estimated to save $238.605000. compared with estimated savings of approximately $52.000,000 under the House bill The figure given for the Senate bill included $121,050.000 to be saved by a flat 10 per cent pay cut on all employes. When the Senate several days ago adopted the Tydings amend- | troops of Adolf Hitler had been lifted. | ment, exempting those getting $1.000 a year or less from the flat pay cut. it |tween the Nazis and Reichsbannermen, | ICfamOnH i mSEN savings from | | salartes to about $116,500,000. reduced the estimated Savings Estimates Vary. Some Senators estimated the fur- lough plan, in lieu of the flat pay cut. would bring the savings from salaries down to $83.000,000. while others con- tended it would save as much as $95.- 000.000. The Senate also struck out estimated savings of $48.000,000 which would have resulted from curtailing certain veterans' allowances After debating these various esti- mates. some Senators contended late vesterday that the bill. as it passed the HEALTH INSTITUTE - - v Senate, still carried economies - gating nearly $150,000,000, while TS, on the Democratic side, argued the bill now saves not more than $120,- | 000,000. This Ilatter appeared to be based on the assumption that, if the furlough plan is sustained, there will be eliminated for the coming year the estimated saving of $22,000,000 from the reduction or annual leave to 15_days. In connection with the adoption of the furlough substitute, a number of i Senators on the Democratic side de- clared the President had “wrecked” the economy bill by trying to put through the furlough plan. Senators on t! Republican side replied that the Presi- dent had not discussed question with them. Amendments Approved. A number of amendments were made to the economy bill in the closing hours of consideration in the Senate. One, offered by Chairman Jones, re- stored the position of director of classi- fication, which had previously been abolished, along with the Personnel Classification Board. The duties of the board would be transferred to the Civil Service Commission, and Senator Jones said he mol‘fl!m the position of direc- tor of classification should be avallable t the commission. Another last-minute change was the rewriting of the clause dealing with pay for overtime, night work and work on Sundays and holidays. As rewritten, the bill will not take away the extra compensation of those who are em. ployed regularly at night. It was ex- plained the only intention the commit- tee had in mind originally was to place a restriction on the use for overtime or night work of employes who were work- 4ng during the day.
