THE HOBTCOItlilT, LUHETHTOII, X702TZI CALOLniA THUIISDAY, OCTOBER 6, 152L .. 5 - AI Mil IS IV TNTFKF.ST OF RICH SAYS SIMMONS Jiorth Carolina Senator Shouts Bat. -tie Cry of Democrats In Next Elee ' Uon He Present Program Which Asks for Heary Income Taxes for Wealthy.. Washington, Sept 80. Senator F. JL Simmons, ranking Democrat of the Senate finance committee, shouted in the Senate today the chief battle cry of the Democrats in the next con . arressional campaign. His speech con -cerned the Republican taxation bill and it was officially' understood about the .capitol that the Simmons speech would b published by the Democratic national committee as campaign 'document Senator Simmons spoke -approximately four hours. ,, . , ' , Strike Democratic Keynote . Senator Simmon, made one xf the Democratic speeches of the extta ses sion. He struck the Democratic key note on the taxation controversy and was in turn eloquent and vehement Afterward Senator McCumber, Re publican, of North Dakota, assailed the Simmons speech as one of "parti san spleen and prejudice," but Mr. Simmons tho-'ht so littlo of this at tack that went to his office to attend to his July correspondence. Attacking particularly the proposal to repeal th: excess profits taxes, to remove the hgher bracket taxes on large incomes and at the same time to retain one-half of the transnorra- tion taxe3 for another year, Senator Simmons presented the alternate pro gram sponsored by the Democrats of the senate. It was estimated that Bvery Demecrat of the upper cham ber win vote against the pending tax bill and on the fight against reten tion of the transportation taxes the Democrats may gain such Republican-Progressive support that the finance committee bill may be over ridden in this respect. "Thirteen thousand millionaires, many of them made during the war," said Senator Simmons, "who have in comes in excess of $66,000 annually win De saved 33 cents on every dollar . of taxes they now pay. This is due to tne lact that trie Republican party by this bill proposes to reduce the maximum surtaxes from 65. per cent to 32 per cent The great body of about 6,000,000 income tax payer, will not receive any reduction in the in come taxes." Senator Simmons contended that in the pending bill the Republican party was not, evert attempting to carry out Ha promise of taxation reforms. The bill, he said, represented merer a shifting of taxes from the wealthy classes to the backs of those who pay miscellaneous taxes and those of .comparatively smaller incomes. The North Carolina Senator presented as substitute tax program the amend ments he offered vesterdav. with the approval of his Democratic, colleagues. What Simmons Proposed. These amendments, in 1 brief, pro pose that the transportation taxes f shall be lifted at the end of the pre t sent year; that persons having in comes in excess of $20,000 shall have no exemptions; that the additional $500 exemption for persons with in come of $5,000 or less shall be retain ed; that the $2,000 exemp toin tax of corporations s h a 11 be repealed; that the corpora tion capital stock tax shall be re-enacted and that there shall be no re peal of the excess profits taxes un less substitute taxes shall be imposed to make equitable levieg against large corporations. Senator Simmons insisted that at the end of this year when the Repub licans will have been in control nine months, the average American "will have nothing whatsoever to show in the way of the reduction of taxes ex cept the $500 additional exemption for the heads of 'families. The plan will "lift more than half a billion annually "from the shoulders of corporations and millionaire, and shift them to thp backs of less fortunate taxpayers," he ! say?.
