Five Proposals Submitte to Ways and Means Committee by Secretary
Washington, Oct. 21.—A plan to buy $2,000,000 from the University of Washington to direct the ways and means committee of the house of representatives today by Andrew W. Murphy.
No.44
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS, MONDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1927
Secretary Melton presented at the opening hearing of the ways and means committee a system of tax reduction legislation to be enforced in the future. His scheme entails a new tax on the surplus now in the treasury.
The presented program of reduction made five major proposals, Mr. Melton advocated a decrease in the tax of corporations from 157% per year to 139% per year and a revenue of $135,000,000 from the federal government. An amendment was presented to permit all small corporations earning less than $25,000,000 to buy ships and this would reduce all revenue from this source by $25,000,000.
All chances for reductions were being obtained, Mr. Mellon said. Individuals who had an income of at least $10,000 would have the same tax rates as they have now. Mr. Mellon specifically pleaded for reductions of taxes on those $10,000+.
The program also included a reduction of $50,000,000 in rates on the so-called intermuniate income between 8 and 16 per cent and reduced the government income, it was advocated that there be a rebel of estate taxes that would deprive the government of $7,000,000. The last amendment provided for the exemption of American banks of foreign hands handled by foreign central banks.
The addition of these reductions would make an ideal system of taxation, concluded the Secretary of Treasury.
