By the Associated Press. Federal and State governments both ‘e | are gullty of the “crime of double tax- ation,” it was reported yesterday by the {House Ways and Means Committee Subcommittee on Double Taxation. In an abstract of a preliminary re- port of the subcommittee's investiga- tion, Representative Fred Vinson of Kentucky, chairman of the group, re- ported that “the conclusion is inescap- able that taxes, State and National, should be rationalized and stabilized, or, in the language of President-elect Roosevelt on this subject, in which he h?s gmnlluted much interest, ‘synchro- nized'.” The committee, composed of Vinson, Cullen of New York and Lewis of Mary- land, Democrats, and Chindblom of Tllinois and Crowther of New York, Re- publicans, began its study last year in an effort to determine how the States and the Federal Government might go about the overlapping and duplication of levies. “The preliminary report shows th: both the Federal and State govel ments are guilty of the invasion of a tax fleld originally entered by the other,” the report said. “For illustra- tion, the Federal Government, at one time, solely occupied the income tax | | fleld. Likewise, the tobacco field. At | the present time, 23 States and Terri- tories have income tax statutes, the majority of which are of recent origin, and 13 States have entered into the to- bacco fleld.” On the other hand, the report said, the Federal Government recently had entered the gasoline tax fleld, already held by the States. Duplications Numerous. Between the Federal Government, States and Territories, it said, “there are approximately 326 duplications of |levies,” and added that “the heavy tax | diminution of sales, with the | quent lesser yield in revenues,” | ticularly on gasoline and tobacco. | Other fields of double taxation, the | committee reported, included income levies on individuals and corporations, death and inheritance taxes, cigarettes and electricity.
