FEDERAL INCOME BEATS ESTIMATE Deficit Still Huge, but Far Below Predictions of Chief Executive. By the Associated Press. Uncle Sam is running deep in the “red,” with a huge deficit for the fiscal year ending Sunday, but the Federal income has increased above President Roosevelt’s estimate. Spending has jumped to nearly $3,500,000,000 greater than the in- come, official figures show. All classifications of expenditures for the 12 months closing June 30, however, were running far below of- ficial estimates. Despite its size, even the deficit was nearly $1,500,000,000 below the $4,869,000,000 total pre- dicted six month ago by the Chiet Executive. The national debt stood at $28,646.- 898,605. This sum compared with $27,035,000,000 at the close of the last fiscal year. All revenues totaled $3,743,000,000, as compared with $3,711,000,000, the year’s estimated total, and the $3,053,- 000,000 figure for last year. When officials compared the two years, the one about to be closed showed increases in all divisions of receipts. Income tax collections for the year are expected officially, now, to reach $1,149,000,000. General expenditures, exclusive of agricultural benefit payments, totaled $3,095,000,000. Emergency outlays added up to $4,052,000,000, as com- pared with estimates of $5,260,000,000 For the same period of last year gen- eral expenditures totaled $2,521 - 000,000 and emergency expenditures totaled $3,776,000,000. The aggregate of all expenditures for -this year was $7,148,000,000, while the budget estimates contemplated outlays totaling $8,581,000,000. The year to date showed a turn- over of $24,000,000,000 in Government financing. The Treasury had borrowed $12,963,000,000 and paid off maturing obligations totaling $11,369,000,000. PETITION ON LONG OUSTER IS STUDIED Garner Refers Matter to Senator George, Chairman of Elec- tions Committee. By the Associated Press. The fate of a petition accusing the Senate of “whitewashing” demands for the removal of Senators Long and Overton of Louisiana was in doubt today. The Women's Committee of Louisi- ana sent the petition to the Senate, charging that an investigating com- mittee was as inactive as "s painted ship upon a painted ocean.” It was| uncertain today whether it would be formally received by the Senate. The petition was delivered at the Senate’s door by Mrs. Hilda Phelps Hammond of New Orleans on behalf of the committee. Vice President Garner told report- ers he had referred the petition to | ™3 Senator George, Democrat, of Georgia, chairman of the Elections Committee, to determine whether “the document was in a receivable form.” After cursory examination, George said he doubted the petition would be privi- leged, but that he would give it fur- ther examination. .

Members of the Senate and mem- bers of the House who favor the adoption of the President’s recom- mendations agreed that there should be no such haste. Representative Woodrum, Democrat, of Virginia, a stanch supporter of the administration, declared on the floor of the House that he was strongly opposed to rushing the tax program through by the end of the week. He said he was entirely willing to stay here all Summer, if necessary, to deal with the President’s recommenda- tions. Refusal of the Senate Finance Committee to grant hearings to cor- porations affected by the proposed taxes would have a bad reaction in the country, it was said. The fact that the administration’s proposal as described by Senator Har- rison today is estimated to raise only $340,000,000, is discouraging to some of the Progressives. Senator La Fol- lette of Wisconsin, for example, has | prepared amendments calculated to raise more than a billlon dollars an- nually in additional revenue. Committee Members Irked. Members of the House Ways and Means Committee were inclined to be rebellious because of the procedure proposed for dealing with the Presi- | dent’s tax program. Senator Clark, one of the signers |of the “round room” requiring ac- tion this session on the President’s program, protested Harrison's pro- posal to act on & “comprehenhsive tax schedule” based only orn “rough esti- u;}s of the Iieasury Department.

HOUGH he is laid up in a De- troit hospital, Senator Couz- ens’ influence was felt in the Senate today in the drive for the Roosevelt wealth tax program. The Michigan Republican, one of the Senate’s wealthiest members, fa- vors high-taxes on riches. Unable to be here himself, he has authorized Senator La Follette, Progressive of ‘Wisconsin, to offer a Couzens measure proposing a “prosperity” or ‘“excess profits” tax on corporations. "Any wealthy man who faces the | facts,” Couzens said, “will realize that | he can not indefinitely continue to| hold more than he can use of the Nation’s wealth, while others are cry- ing for enough to support their | | families decently. The country just won't stand for it ‘ As for himself, Couzens believes he would have been just as happy if the Government had taken a large part of his wealth as it came rolling into him from the Ford Motor Co. Many times a millionaire, he has given away large sums, but he still has more than enough to satisfy his personal need;i He says he would gladly give up a! large part of his fortune if othnw wealthy men were made to do so also. | “A few individuals have incomes 50 | The Oregonian suggested a recess until Fall to give time for a sub-| committee to study it. Harrison similingly assured McNary | that some “shared” his view, but that | others “vetoed ..” and for tha® rea- | son the plan was {o attempt passage | {of the three-fold tax program by | | Saturday night. ‘ Senator Robinson, Democratic iead- | er, tried to stop the discussion with a call for “regular order,” but Sen-| (ator Vandenberg, Republican, of Michignn ‘would no# let it drop. | “Am I mistaken in understanding | that it is now proposed to take & course that the committee declined to | pursue by vote only a few days ago?” he asked. “There have been some very great | | developments since then,” Harrison | | replied, still smiling. “The committee did vote otherwise, not to put any | amendments on this proposition.” Byrns Sees “Ne Objection.” At his press conference Speaker | Byrns said he could see ‘“no objec- | tion” to a temporary extension of nuisance taxes, with the undersiand- ing that the Senate would not revise those rates when drafting the new wealth distribution levies. “I think if you check through the records you won't find any revenue bill that ever passed the House and then went through the Senate with- out considerable change,” he asserted. “My only interest is in getting the job done as promptly as possible. If we use the outlined procedure we ought to get away from here by August 1, and certainly by August 10. “If we go through the regular pro- cedure, then God knows how long we will be here. “I don’t see any reason for exundod delay. The Treasury, I am informed, has 50 to 100—Lord kngws how many—tables ready, showing what the returns would be from taxes at specific rates. i “With that preparedness the job seems simple. First you dacide whether you want taxes, then you take the Treasury’s tables and figure out the rates you want to bring in the revenue you need. “Even if the Senate does add the new taxes to the nuisance tax exten- sion resolution, the House still has a right to vote on each of the new taxes. It can vote them up or down or amend them to suit its ideas. I can't see that that is yielding any pre- rogatives.” | There was talk ments, for the diers’ bonus, which may large that they cannot spend f.hem.“‘ he said. “If such incomes were spread | money kept in circulation. “Idleness is our trouble.

But how about a big manufacturer who owns his entire plant? Suppose he leaves his entire fortune to a son and there is a high inheritance tax. How would he gel the money to pay the Government?” Some method would have to be worked out, Couzens believes, but he doesn’t know yet what it would be. Couzens thinks his excess profits tax | would induce employers to pay more wages and cheapen their products. “If an extravagant income is not worthwhile because the Government {around they would be spent and the | will take it” he said, “there will no longer be any reason for capital to squeeze labor on one hand and the i get to work.

Opening this resolution to lmend- ments, legislators said, might lead advocates of higher or lower tariffs to try to write their ideas into the measure. Some House members, declining to be quoted by name, also feared that the Senate might move to abolish some of the “nuisance” levies—say, for example, the 1-cent tax on gaso- line—and thus get the credit for lower- ing taxes. President Ignores Advice. The President's decision for quick action on his new taxes was taken agalnst the advice of some congres- | sional leaders who sought postpone- | ment until next year. Last night's conference was attended by Vice | President Garner, Speaker Byrns, Senators Robinson, Democrat, Arkan- sas and Harrison, Democrat, Misis- sippi, and Representative Doughton, Democrat, North Carolina. A factor which is believed to have entered into the President’s decision is the report that Secretary Morgen- thau has a specific tax program all ready to lay before congressional com- mittees. Tax experts previously had indicated it would require a month to write & bill to conform to the Presi- dent’s recent special message. Morgenthau recently suggested an inheritance tax based on existing in- come surtaxes and estimated to raise between $300,000,000 and $600,000,000. The President did not mention spe: cific rates in his message, except to suggest a graduated corporation in- come tax ranging from about 10% to 16% per cent in place of the existing flat rate of 13% WILEY IS COMMENDED FOR OFFICER’S RESCUE Secretary Swanson in a letter yes- terday officially commended Lieut. con, which crashed into the sea off the California coast on February 12, for his “heroic and prompt action in ;u:ynumumtmdrwn- TAX PLAN MISSES BIG FORTUNES NOW Authorities Agree Most of | Them Already Have Been Passed On. By the Associated Press. Congressional tax authorities agreed today that even if President Roose- velt’s inheritance tax proposal is writ- ten into law immediately, it will not touch many of America’s major for- said, they have already been passed on to the younger generation. The tax would not be retroactive and thus it would apply only to fu- ture inheritances or gifts. Tax ex- perts said there was little evidence in the public records to show what has happened to some of the biggest for- tunes, but that undoubtedly a large part of them bhad already been passed on. In the Rockefeller case there is some evidence. A tax refund case a few years ago disclosed that, even back in 1922, the net tax paid by John D. Rockefeller, sr, amounted to only $12,036. . Not Much Revenue. L. H. Parker, chief of staff for the Joint Congressional Committee on In- ternal Revenue Taxation, in comment- ing on this case in his annual report for 1929, said: - “This small tax would indicate that Mr. Rockefeller's income producing property has been. largely transferred to his heirs or to his numerous charitable foundations.” * “The point, which seems well to consider, is that the Federal estate tax will not porduce much revenue in this case.” Since that tme an effective gift tax has been written into the statute books along with the estate tsx, but it was too late, in Parker’s oninion, to catch many of *he big fortunes im- mediately. He pointea out in a re- cent letter to Seaaior Costigan. Demo- crat, of Colorado, who has been study- ing the subject, that for the first months of this fiscal year gift tax collections were $71,086,962, As com- pared with estate tax collections of $128,452,274 in the same pericd.

HOUSE HOLDS FATE OF BANKHEAD BILL Measure Providing for Farm Loans Passes Senate, 45 to 32. By the Associated Press. ‘The disputed Bankhead bill to allot Federal funds to tenant farmers and share-croppers for purchase of land and homes was in the hands of the House today, after passage yesterday by the Senate. Though it had once been sent back to committee for revision and further safeguarding language, there remained 80 much opposition that it only passed the Senate with a margin of 13 votes, 45 to 32. Eighteen Democrats joined 14 Republicans in opposing it. Only three Republicans, Norris, Schall and Frazier, joined 40 Demo- crats, the lone Progressive, La Fol- lette, and the single Farmer-Laborite, Shipstead, in voting for the bill, ‘The bill would set up a corporation with an initial capitalization of $50,~ 000,000 out of work-relief funds, and an eventual borrowisg power of 81, 000,000,000, to make loans to farmers, farm tenants, share-croppers or farm laborers, to purchase small farms. They would have up to 60 years to re- pay the loans at low interest rates. Cries of “regimentation” and “so- cialization” rose from Democrats as well as Republicans in the closing de- bate. Opposition cgme from Senator Long, Democrat, of Louisiana, and from conservatives of both parties, Senator Bankhead, Democrat, of Alabama, who introduced the bill, said it had the administration’s support. Although no official word has come from the White House in regard to i1, the administration leaders in the Sen- ate supported it. Some Senators, including Long and Lonergan, Democrat, of Connecticut, contended the program was in con- flict with crop reduction. The latter said the Government spent $400,000,- 000 last year to curtail acreage and now was going to spend $1,000,000,000 to increase acreage. —_— C. C. C.
