Subcommittee of Senate Group ‘Studying Simplication,
To Recommend Scrapping, Is Belief; ‘Double -
Taxation’ An WASHINGTON, Aug. 17
gle’ Opposed. (U. P.) ~The senate finance
Committee today appeared ready to strike from ‘the pend-
ing tax bill the treasury’s pay
envelope withholding tax plan
to collect income taxes in advance.
Senator Bennett C. Clark
(D. Mo.), chairman of a spe-
cial finance subcommittee, claims that the check-off plan
‘would raise -$1,250,000,000 .in “hidden” revenue.
Senator
Clark's committee is scheduled ‘to resume consideration ‘Wednesday of the treasury’s: proposal to collect ‘income ‘taxes at the source by deducting 5 per cent from each wage-
‘earner’s pay check after alJowing for personal exemp-
‘tions. : , Although the subcommittee was
appointed to study methods of simplifying the complicated payroll de-
‘duction plan, it was reliably pre-
- dicted that it would recommend scrapping it- altogether.
Senator Clark said today that
‘While he had a “completely open
mind” on the withholding tax, he ‘was strongly opposed to- the prin-
“ciple of putting taxpayers on a cur-
rent basis by forcing them to pay ‘three year’s taxes in two years, as
provided by the house bill.
According to the terms of the hill,
: he said, the treasury next year would
take 24 per cent out of the first
_ dollar of taxable income — 19 per
cent in regular income taxes on 1942 earnings and 5 per cent to be applied to 1943 income taxes.
“New” Revenue Denied
In 1944 the withholding rate would be raised to 10 per cent, but the impact would be somewhat eased by the fact that individuals would already have paid a substantial share of their 1943 income tax. Senator Clark said that although the treasury estimates $1,250,000,000 will be raised by source collection of income taxes, treasury officials have “never admitted that the tax ‘would ‘ produce “new” revenue and have not included it in the $6,271,000,000 which the house bill is expected to yield. } r Randolph Paul, treasury general counsel and Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau’s principal tax adviser, told the finance committee last month that “this will ‘not change the amount of revenue. + .'. This is not an additional tax, a withholding tax, it is a collection ‘in advance.”
Double Taxation Seen
Senators Robert A. Taft (R. 0) ‘and Harry F. Byrd (D. Va.), how-|; ever, have contended that the levy would in reality raise new revenue by forcing taxpayers to double up
on their payments.
“Senator Clark said he was thoroughly in favor of putting taxpayers on a current basis, but thought this could be done without “double” taxation simply by writing off 1942 taxes and starting 1943 “with a ‘clean slate. Under such a

Senator Clark's ‘committee has recessed until Wednesday in order to give treasury officials an opportunity to furhish further data on the source collection plan. The full committee, which concluded public ‘hearings last week, has also recessed until! next Monday while treasury cand committee experts catch up on technical work. Over the week-end more was heard on the subject of making the pending tax bill last for more than a year. Senator Byrd said that congressional assurance that a new tax -program will not be written immediately after the pending one is passed would be a “very substantial contribution to the war effort.” He favors making the present bill broad enough to last for two or three years. Senator George recently advocated that a tax. bill be written now that would last “for the duration.”
