Mr. McAdoo would wipe out the present inequity in taxes in the cases of the person who works for a living and the person whose income is derfved from investments. He would make the 8 per cent tax now levied or salaries over $6,000 an income tax rather than a so-called excess profits tax, and would make the fu- ture rate 12 per cent, which is the sum of the present normal rate of 4 per cent and the 8 per cent excess profits tax. An increase on the normal income tax on those earnings from $1,000 to $6,000 a year is rcommended, but no rate is suggested. Doubling of all taxes to raise $8,- 000,000,000 a year in cash from the people is recommended by the secre- tary. He would levy a ‘real war profits tax,” superimposed upon ex- cess profits taxes, and place a heavy tax upon luxuries. Applies to Everybody. The secretary suggests that less op- rosition will be met on the normal i tax as it applies to everybody and he hclds the view that such a tax falling on all the people would enforce the saving that is necessary to prevent inflation during the war. His tax- ing program is not only aimed to raise twice as much as is coming in from taxes, but to stabilize Liberty Bonds and make them an attractive investment with a return equivalent to that of the best paying corpora- tion or municipal issues. Expenditures during the fiscal vear starting July 1, the Secretary says will aggregate $24,000,000,000 almost twice those of the present | year. This estimate, he points out, is bhased on the expenditure rate and not on appropriations or departmental es- timates that may not he met. To meet this expenditure he proposes that $8,000,000,000 be raised In taxes and the balance, $16,000,000,000 through the sale of bonds. The Secretary pavs particular at- tention to war profits and to unearned incomes. He makes it plain that in { his judgment both are escaping too | lightly under the existing tax laws. | The selfish people he says, who are | reaping large profits are them in corporate issues and other ventures and are not supporting the Government in bond buying. The pa- triotic carry their burdens. earned incomes, the incomes they celve from invesments that would stop this form of profiteering and make the selling of bonds easier. otwithstanding this, tary’'s suggestions are met the tax bur- den will fall] most heavily upon the average citizen and the average citi- zen of America will pay in far larger share of the tak bill.

Mr. Feirgraves is a former school teacher and a noted war speaker and the committee hopes that a large audience will be present to hear him. Local War Bureau Notes.
