CHANGE PLANNED oHio man 7o weao ' Reed Proposes Diminishing Scale the Longer an ‘ Asset Is Held. | | Modification of the capital gain and ! loss provision of the tax law whereby the allowance for loss and the levy on gains would diminish the longer an asset is held, providing greater tax relief on long-term investments, was proposed yesterday by Senator Reed, Republican. Pennsylvania, for study by a Senate Finance Subcommittee. Reed is a member of the subcom- mittee studying proposals for a more | equitable tax systm. It met today with ‘a similar subcommittee of the House to draw a line between the two studies and prevent duplication of efforts. Study General Tax Subjects. Methods of eliminating double tax- ation ‘by the Federal Government and the States, administrative changes to close tax loopholes, and general tax questions are being studied. The Pennsylvania Senator estimated the new capital gain and loss provision he favors would bring in millions of dollars of additional revenue, make that revenue more constant, and provide a sounder and more equitable basis for taxation. Under the present law. if a taxpayer holds certain property for more than 2 years it becomes a capital asset and he may elect to treat the gain on its | sale as ordinary income subject to | normal and surtax or he may exclude | the gain from his ordinary income and add to his tax thereon a levy of 123 per cent of such gain. { Parker's Recommendation. | In the case of losses. he must either deduct the loss from his ordinary in- i come or apply 12!, per cent of the loss as & credit against the tax on his | ordinary net income. !
