Wants Abolition of Hold ing Companies in All Lines of Business. ?> Washington, June 19. ? A share the-weaith tax program based up on the philosophy that big for tunes are created by collective rather than individual effort was submitted to Congress today by President Roosevelt, with an im plication that he hoped for action tbife session. That the President had such an idea in mind took nobody by sur prise. But that he should ask) enactment of such a broad plan when leaders already were bend ? ling every effort to get Congress ready for adjournment by mid July literally startled some. Re publican leaders Immediately said that to enact such a comprehen sive program would prolong the session indefinitely. His Program Briefly, what the President sug gested as a "sound public policy of encouraging a wider distribu tion of wealth," was this: 1. Imposition of inheritance and gift taxes on top of the present estate taxes, to be segregated for reduction of the National debt. 2. Higher taxes on incomes above 11,000,000 a year. 3. Graduated taxes on corpora tion Incomes ranging from 10% to 16% per cent instead of the present flat 13% per cent. 4. A Constitutional amendment permitting the taxation of incomes from now tax-free state, county and city bonds. 6. The "simplification" of cor porate structures by the elimina tion through taxation of "unneces- j sary holding companies in all lines of business." and the similar dis couragement of "unwieldy and un necessary" corporate surpluses. Will Go Over The fifth proposal, he said, could not "adequately be debated" in the time remaining this ses sion, and leaders generally were agreed that he felt it would be all right to let that go over. But be cause he had made the quallfica- 1 tion on holding companies, they ' interpreted the rest of his tax pro-'] gram as "must," or at least, "ought" legislation for the present | session. It was disclosed, too, that the President encountered vigorous I opposition from some of his ad visers, who thought he should let I the share-the-wealth plan go over | until next year. That was indicat- j ed by one leader close to the Pre sident, who said privately: "This plan hasn't a chance in hell of going through Congress this session." --- Nevertheless, legislative ma chinery was put to work on the message. Chairman Doughton (D-NC) arranged to discuss it to morrow with members of the House Ways and Means Commit tee, to which the plan was refer red. A speedy show-down appeared likely in the Senate. Chairman Harrison (D-Miss) said the Fin ance Committea-^ould meet to morrow to consider the $500,000, 000 House-approved bill to ex tend nuisance taxes and said the new program was up to the House.

(2) Those on main state high ways. (3) Farm to market highways. (4) Dangerous crossings on other roads. The plan, said one official who declined to be quoted, would tfe a part of regulations governing the grade crossing elimination irf&gram, which probably will be made public within the next week. The regulations have been com pleted by the bureau of public roads, and must be approved by the secretary of agriculture be fore being passed along to Presi dent Roosevelt for final action. Already they have been discuss ed With the officials of several of the principal railroads by bureau offioia)*. * Most officals believed^ the |1, 100 to $1,400 a man a year pro gram laid down by President Roosevelt would not hinder th? carrying out of the grade crossing work.
