HR EXECUTIVE COUNCIL RECOMMENDS MODIFICATION IN FEDERAL TUX PROGRAM San Francisco.—The Executive Council, in a section of ite report devoted to the subject of tax ation, recommended that the fed eral tax sructure “should bal ance the budget and yield sub stantial surpluses during periods of high employment." While seeing no immediate re lief from the high level of taxa tion, the Council said that cer New and Reconditioned PIANOS For the best value in NEW or reconditioned pianos, select yours from our stock of nearly 100 instruments.

"Our 55th Year” “Steinway Headquarters” SSI North Tryon Street tain modifications in the tax structures may be made that will “contribute much toward deter mining t|he degree of prosperity we maintain.” The report declared: “Any and all such modifications in the federal tax structure should be made with the following ob jectives in mind: 1. The proposed taxes shoyld be adequate to provide for neces sary services and to maintain the federal credit. 2 The proposed taaes should be equitable, increasing progressively as individual income increases with due regard for the necessity of exempting the incomes of those at below minimum-usbsistence lev els. 3. The proposed taxes should operate so as to keep the buying power of consumers at the high est possible level, so that pro duction and employment may be maintained. 4. The proposed taxes should not combine with other economic measures to depress or retard the development of any area, or place it at an economic disadvan tage in relation to other areas. “In line with these objectives, we believe future federal tax pro caine should be based on the following considerations: “The graduated personal in come tax should continue to pro vide the bulk of the national rev enue. Any changes adopted shoaid ijot jeopardize this basic tax source to our revenue system. If and' when total revenue needs permit reductions, we favor in creasing the exemption for those in the lower income group until A FRIENDLY CHURCH i PRITCHARD MEMORIAL BAPTIST CHURCH 1117 South Boulevard I ban day School 9:45 ». m.

Dr. William Harrison Williams, Pastor income of a family of four is exempt up to $2500. “As total revenue needs will j permit we urge the repeal of all excise taxds . except those on liquor, tobacco, and gasoline (pro viding income from gasoline tax is needed and used for highway developments). These reductions in excise taxes which should be second in priority to income tax reduction for those at below sub sistence level income, would mean tax savings of approximately $3." billion dollars based on excise tax revenue estimates for 1947. “New and increased taxes levied by state and local governments have in many instances taken the form of sales taxes, cigarette taxes, and other taxes that still further increase the load of taxes on consumption levied at the local, state, and national level. Approxi mately 29 per cent of the $48 billion in taxes collected by all levels of government are currently being derived from taxes on sales State federations and local cen tral bodies should vigorously op pose current campaigns that are being waged to decrease federal and state personal and business income taxes based on ability to pay, thereby throwing the burden for necessary governmental sup port increasingly on sales, ex cise, and nuisance taxes which pre most burdensome to tax payers in the lower income groups. “In considering future tax measures at they apply to busi ness it should be borne in mind that business has been relieved of a considerable tax burden much sooner after the cessation of hos tilities than many economists thought advisable. In the face of a definite favorable postwar market for both durable and non durable goods, the removal of price controls combined with the repeal of the excess profits tax and reduction of the surtax rate contribute considerably to bring ing about the inflationary condi tions now prevailing. Discussions of further reduction in corporate tax rates at this time we con sider premature and ill-advised. “It seems to us advisable that social security income and ex penditures should be segregated from the remainder of the fed eral budget. A reexamination of the whole social security revenue policy is overdue. “Present estate and gift tax schedules and laws should he re studied with a view to increasing revenue. Loopholes made possible by the creation of trusts, gifts, and powers of appointment should be closed. “We would point out in conclu sion. that the present high level of federal 7tax revenue empha sizes the need or serious consider ation and action on studies that have been made carrying recom mendation for integrating Federal and State policies and programs in certain fields. Such integra tion could result in eliminating much needless overlapping and duplication, would make for a high degree of progression, and could do much to eliminate con flicts among states, and between states and the Federal Govern ment, in the tax field."
