FURTHER BOOST ! OF INCOME TAX RATEjORECAST ‘Small Fry’ Would Be Hit Hardest If Increase Is Continued. Thu i* the lat <*f si* article* detailinc the new federal i.ieome ta* regulation* that upward of three million more citiien* must meet before March IS. BY ROBERT TALLEY NEA Service Writer WASHINGTON. Jan. 28.—Though | tremendously increased federal in- | come taxes now are effective. Wash- ! ington has heard plenty of talk 1 about a possible return to the peak rates of war time, and may hear it ! again at the forthcoming special session of congress. The suggestion for a return to 1918 rates was put forward by Democratic leaders, bent upon finding a means for balancing the federal budget, at a recent conference with ; President-Elect Roosevelt at New York. It aroused a storm of protest within the party and without, but at last reports Mr. Roosevelt, while ! pointing out that the plan did not | originate with him, was walling to favor it ‘‘as a last resort.” Those War-Time Rates The war-time rates of 1918, as compared with the new income tax law now becoming effective, w'ould boost the normal rates from 4 per cent on the first $4,000 and 8 per cent on the remainder to 6 per cent on the first $4,000 and 12 per cent on the remainder. Exemption allowed married men would be reduced from $2,500 to $2,000, but that of single men would stand at SI,OOO. Credits for dependents would be reduced from S4OO to S2OO each. The only time the nation ever had an income tax as high as 6 and 12 per cent was in 1918, payable in 1919. Surtaxes then ranged as high as 65 per cent, compared to 55 per cent this year and 20 per cent last year. Here is what a return to these war-time taxes would mean, as compared to this year and last year, in the case of a married man with no dependents: NET INCOME. s2,soo—Last year, nothing: this year, nothing; wartime rate, S3O. NET INCOME, s3.ooo—Last year, nothing; this year, S2O; war-time rate, S6O. NET INCOME. ss.ooo—Last, year, $22.50; this year, $100; war-time rate, SIBO. In the above—for the sake of comparison—the “last year” figures do not take into account the 25 per cent tax reduction allowed on “earned income” in that year. No such credit was allowed in 1918 and none is allowed in the new law. Little Fellow Hit Most Taxes on big incomes would be raised by a return to the war-time rates, but not anywhere near as much as the increase on smaller incomes. For example, the SIOO,OOO-a-year man who paid taxes of $15,769 last year and is paying $30,100 this year would pay under the war-time rate $35,030. The million-dollar-a-year man who paid $240,000 last year and is paying $571,000 this year, would pay under the war-time scale $703,030. These $1.000,000-a-year incomes, however, are getting fewer. In 1931 there were only 75 of them. In 1930, there were 150 and in 1929 there were 513. Income they represented dropped from $1,212,098,000 in 1929 to $162,997,000 in 1931; taxes collected on them dropped from $191,054,000 in 1929 to $26,292,000 in 1931. More Would Pay A return to $2,000 exemptions for married men—instead of the $2,500 allowed now and the $3,500 allowed last year—would mean great numbers drawn into the tax-paying army. i The rate of the movement for a . return to the war-time rates at the i special session of congress will probI ably depend on what the 1932 increases bring in. says Lovell H. Parker, chief of staff of congress’ joint 1 committee on internal revenue taxi ation. Parker’s staff advises both houses 1 of congress on all revenue matters. "Surtax rates under the new law already are as high as 55 per cent, as compared with a maximum of 65 per cent in 1918," says Parker. "That : means that if more money is to be j raised by income tax. it will have to ; be raised from a lot of small taxpayers. rather than from a few large taxpayers.” Two Fields Open According to Parker, there are | only two big fields now for a reve- : nue increase on a major scale. One is the proposed increase in ! income taxes and the other is the proposed sales tax, which the treasury has estimated would yield $350,900,000. But nothing can be done about higher income taxes until the spe- ! cial session of congress convenes | after the Roosevelt inauguration. (THE END)

CONTMCT BRIDGE BY W. E. M’KENNEY Secretary American Bridge League 'T'HE most abused bid in contract bridge is the game demand forcing bid. Partnerships are wrecked and games are lost by forcing bids made by unthinking partners. Before making a forcing bid. stop and think of the responsibility that you place, not only on your partner, but on yourself. When you make a game demand bid, you insist that your partner keep the bidding open until the final declaration is a game-going contract, and he must do this if his hand is absolutely trickless. nun UNFORTUNATELY, many players who make game demands forcing bids believe that the responsibility rests entirely with partner. For example, I have seen players open with, let us sa.v, two spades. Their partner responds with two no trump, they then bid three hearts and now partner, who has been assured by the original forcing bid that the bidding would continue until game is reached, shows his preference of the two suits named by the original bidder by bidding three spades. However, he has plenty of strength to assure game and now the unthinking original bidder, feeling that his partner is merely endeavoring to show a preference between the two suits, will pass and a game contract is lost. n n n You have no right to pass, after once making an original forcing two bid, or a jump shift response, until a game contract is reached. Unless your hand meets the exceptionally strong requirements for forcing bids, play safe and simply make a constructive bid. If partner has anything, he will respond with a constructive bid and you Can safely and surely arrive at the best spot at which the hand should be played. Avoid psychics—they ruin partnerships and lose more points than they gain. The one over one should only be made with a biddable suit. Don't make a psychic one over one simply to force your partner. Let him know that he can count on a biddable suit from you. In all my bridge during 1932. I saw but two hands that I felt were strong enough to open with an original two bid. and at that I believe that my percentage was fairly high. (Convrieht. 1933. bv NEA Service.

TEXANS MOVE TO GET RIO OF ORT STATUTES Prohibition Is Written in State Constitution; Consider Sales Tax. BY DICK VAUGHAN Time* Staff Writer AUSTIN, Tex.. Jan. 28.—Two things make governors, according to James E. Ferguson, husband of Governor Miriam A. Ferguson and the outstanding politician in Texas for eighteen years—assurances that | the people will be given something they want, and that something | which is oppressing them will be ■ taken away. Texas has great prospects that the ; legislature now in session under the administration of Ferguson's wife, Mrs. Miriam A. Ferguson, will give |it something it wants, and take i away something it doesn r want. Texas wants to become wet again, it became apparent last summer when a referendum on resubmission carried 5 to 1. and it wants relief from property taxes. Severe Dry Statutes Since 1918. Texas has had the severest dry statutes in the United States. The dry provision in the state consitution is automatic. Penalties of from one to five years in the penitentiary with no suspended sentences are provided in the constitution so that if all state dry laws were repealed the contsitution automatically would keep the state dry. Resubmission of the dry constitutional provisions is proposed in two resolutions introduced, and it is certain that resubmission will be ordered. Pending resubmission a bill has been introduced to declaie 3.2 per cent beer and 1 per cent wine nonintoxicating. A sale-regulating bill also has been introduced. The "nonintoxicating" beer bills stand a good chance of passing. Beer Sale Proposed The ‘non-intoxicating’’ beer could be sold in soft drink parlors, groceries, restaurants, hotels and drug stores, it could be sold in 12-ounce bottles only and sales could not be made Sundays, election days or between midnight and 7 a. ni. A stamp tax of half a cent a bottle to go to the state, and a state, county and city license tax of SIOO for places where drinks were served and SSO where sold only, to be divided 50-25-25. are proposed. Texas probably will embark on a revenue-raising experiment in the form of a 3 per cent sales tax to be collected on all sales except those of gasoline and cigarets, on which a form of sales tax now is levied. The tax would bring $45,000,000 a year, according to Governor Fergu-son-enough to pay state debts of $12,000,000. grant public schools state aid of $17.50 per pupil, pay all expenses and at the end of a year leave a cash balance of $6,000,000. The sales tax would amount to $7.50 per capita. It would entirely replace the state ad valorem tax, or tax on property. Texas has raised most of its revenue from a tax on property, especially real estate, since the days of the Republic of Texas.
