IS ‘NOT ENOUGH’
Senate Debate Ewpected to Start: to Start Sept. 28; Over-All| Profits Limitation on War Contracts To Be Sought.
- WASHINGTON, Sept. 15 (U. P.).—The senate finance committee laid the groundwork today for a compulsory savings-tax program fo follow closely after final enactment of the pending tax bill. After making last-minute changes in the tax bill, including a 5 per cent reduction in the corporation surtax, the committee set a new deadline—Dec. 1—for the report of a joint committee created by the . bill to study compulsory savings and report to congress. It originally had fixed Jan. 11 as the date by which the study was to be completed. Chairman Walter F. George (D. Ga.) commented significantly that compulsory savings cannot be considered separately from taxation. He said the date had been moved up at the request of treasury officials.
Taft Indicates New Bill
Senator Robert A. Taft (R. OJ), who sponsored the amendment calling for the study of compulsory - savings, said he interpreted the move ‘as indicating another bill soon after the pending bill is disposed of. He agreed that the problem had to be approached through taxation but said it did not necessarily involve extensive changes in the existing tax structure. “You probably have no constitutional right to compel people to save,” Taft said. “You must tax them and then give them bonds. But there are many ways of doing it.” He said one way might be through imposition of a 10 per cent gross income tax, with the taxpayer getting bonds in return for . what he paid. Another might be to impose a 25 per cent tax on income in excess of that received by a taxpayer during a previous year —in effect, an excess profits tax on individuals—again giving bonds in return.
“Stamp Assessment” Debated
Still another method, Taft -said, was the “stamp assessment” proposal of Senator John A. Danaher (R. Conn.) involving the purchase of stamps equaling 10 per cent of the amount of every retail purchase. The stamps, accumulated in lots of $25, would be exchanged for bonds of equal denomination to be redeemed without interest after the war. Secretary of the Treasury Henry _ Morgenthau Jr., said ast week that . the 5 per cent victory tax included
| | department of the city’s sehool |tem, it was announced today by
which can be redeemed after the war. Wage and salary earners—except domestic servants, agricultural workers and members of the armed | : forces—will have the victory tax deducted from paychecks starting Jan. 1. The amount taken out each week will equal 5 per cent of their earnings in excess of their $12 weekly victory tax exemption. If the taxpayer has a credit coming to him at the end of the year— for bond purchases, for example— he can either take it in cash or have it applied against his 1943 income tax liability. The victory tax will apply “ some 15,000,000 persons whose earnings will be too small to make them liable to income tax, even under the lowered. exemptions.
CORPORATION TAXES
Corporations will continue to pay a 24 per cent normal tax, as at present, since both house and senate bills retain that figure, The -surtax, however, is sharply increased. At present it is 6 per cent on that portion of income subject to surtax up to $25,000. The house and senate bills raise that rate to 10 per cent. At present. there is a 7 per cent surtax above $25,000. The house bill would change this to 21 per cent above $50,000 with a graduation between the two rates in the bracket between $25,000 and $50,000. The senate bill would limit the increased surtax to 16 per cent. The graduated excess profits tax of present law—with rates from 35 to 60 per cent—is eliminated in favor of a flat 90 per cent levy on excess profits, with a ¢redit in the senate bill for 10 per cent of excess profits taxes paid. EXCISE TAXES
Excise taxes on passenger transportation, cigarets: and telephone toll charges were boosted to- new high levels by the house bill, and the changes have in general been confirmed by the finance com-
designed to promote efficiency | meeting emergency conditions to provide economy through operation and maintenance of h ing and ventilating equipment. - Raid Drills Included The study course also will. clude: Fire and air raid drills, prevention, duties of ‘fire guan protection of school property, fin aid, and a wide variety of mair tenance problems. The course will be required the employees and will be p: for them without cost’ during # regular hours of work.

IGE PICK CALLER RAIDS § HOMES
Lifts Screen Door Hooks; Attacks One Woman - With Knife.
A warm-weather burglar used ani! ice pick to break into at least six homes in the same neighborhood early today. He ran the pick through the screen doors and raised the hooks. Then he walked through the! houses, stood over the occupants beds and in one case attacked a woman with a knife. The first report was at 2:50 a. m, from Charles Gray, 1653 Carrollton ave., whose trousers containing his| billfold and $58 weré taken from his bedroom. The trousers and some money which the burglar had overlooked were found in an alley later, but the billfold was taken; Chased Through House Fifteen minutes later, Mrs. Everett Coryell, 215¢ Broadway, awoke and saw a man with a flashlight at the foot of her bed. Thinking it was her husband, she spoke to him and when she did the intruder started to run. Meanwhile, her husband awoke and chased the man through the

in the revenue bill would not “do the job” and that “forced savings”
The last mihute ‘changes in the tax bill made by the senate committee did not greatly affect the revenue yield. Drafting experts went to work on the bill today to put it in shape for senate debate starting Sept. 28. The committee will meet Monday to consider writing a 5 per cent overall profits limitation on war contracts, to be offered as a separate amendment
Here is a summary of the major features of individual and corporate income faxes, and excise taxes:
INDIVIDUAL INCOME TAXES The senate committee left virtually intact the house-approved income tax ‘rate schedule, but added a 5 per cent “victory” tax to be levied: on all individual earnings in excess’ of $624 a year and fo be collected at the source. It threw out a house provision for collection of part of 1943 regular income taxes at the source by pay envelope deductions. Present law grants single men a $750 income tax exemption, married couples $1500 exemption, and $400 for each dependent. The house lowered those figures to $500, $1200 and $400, respectively, while the senate further reduced the dependent exemption to $300. Part of the “victory” tax—up to

mittee agreed to assess a flat 20 per
cent tax on long-distance telephone toll charges in place of the present graduated tax, and increased the tax on local phone service from 6 to 10 per cent. A house-approved 5 per cent tax ,on freight charges, however, was struck from the bill by the finance committee as was a 5 per cent levy on all money wagers at race track pari-mutuel machines. The senate committee accepted
provisions in the house bill raising the liquor tax from $4 to $6 a proof
gallon and increasing the levy on beer from $6 to $7 a barrel.

national encampment here, He is Ira Stormes of Salt Lake City, Utah’s last survivor of the Civil war. This 96-year-old commander of a state department that had four posts and 900 members in 1905, “meets with himself” each May. The only other person who attends the Utah convention is Mrs. Mary H. Schnell, department secretary. “I rap order with my gavel—because the rules call for it,” Mr. Stormes explained at the Claypool hotel. “Then Mrs. Schnell (he calls her ‘the boss’) reads the minutes and the bills,” : Since youre the only one in the Utah G. A. R. why would you have bills? Mr. Stormes was asked. “Gosh,” he said, “we have to run it according to the rules—so we have stationery and things like that.” Mr. Stormes says he approves payment of the bills “since there’s no one but me to object,” then calls for election of officers. “I nominate myself, cast my own vote and elect myself.” He says that ends the convention except— “If there’s any new business in the interest of the G. A. R. in Utah, I answer my call for it—and I get it over in a hurry.” Mr. Stormes said he’s been holding these one-man conventions the past three years. Before his comrades of ’65 passed on, they placed the destiny of the Grand Army in Utah in his hands. He’s been commander seven years. He pulled out one of those giant curved-stem meerschaum pipes— with a cover “to control the sparks” —as he recalled that he “made noodles” 50 years. He said “noodles”
