Washington, July I—As if Con gress did not have enough to worry about already. President Roosevelt has give the boys on Capitol Hill something real to think about in his proposal that they ought to draw up and enact some new tax bills before they go home. Specifically, he propeses that, in addition to the present estate taxes, Congress should put a tax upon inheritances as well. The state tax is taken out before anything goes to the heirs. It is the President's idea, in the case of large estates, to futher redistribute wealth by taxing the heirs on whatever they get. And, for good measure, he suggested that it would be desirable to stick on some higher taxes on the incomes of big, corporations. The Fed eral Corporation Tax now is 13 1-2 percent; the President's idea is that this might run up to 16 1-2 per cent on corporate earnings above some unspecified but large annual figure. Many people are professing to be at what they regard as a swing toward the left on the part of Mr. Roosevelt. Anyone who has studied his politcal past and read his speeches during the Presi dential campaign, including his in augural address, has no real ground for suprise; for the idea that wealth is concentrated in a few hands and that the great pools of wealth ought to be broken up for the benefit of everybody, is one that he has frequently and emphatically expressed. Capitol Hill Questions Up on Capitol Hill the Senators and members of Congress are ask ing three questions. Can we or should we try to pass it at this ses sion? What would be the practial effect upon the national income if we did enact such laws? And, third, but parmount in the minds of the members of both Houses, what will be the politcal effect? The strong inclination of all but a few extremists in Congress is to let the. matter lie untill the next ses sion, which will begin in January, 1936. The boys want to go home. The children are out of school now, and their wives want to get back to their home towns; besides . the Washington weather is getting hot ter and hotter. They still have an awful lot of business to clean up before adjournment. To work out anything that will meet the Pres ident's idea of taxes seemingly will lead to endless debate and discus sion and maybe keep them here un til Fall. So for that and other rea sons, it does not seem likely that they will do much on tax plans ex cept to talk about them. The answer to the second ques tion as to what the practical effect of the new taxes will be, is gen erally that they will not go very far in making up the budget deficit. At all times the great bulk of taxa tion is carried by the middle class, and this middla class, the practical economists in Congress and Ad ministration circles say, would still continue to carry that load. Very wealthy men who have accumulated large fortunes can afford to hire very expert lawyers to show them how to distribute their wealth where they want it to go, it is pointed out. Good Political More • The paramount question in the minds of everybody in Washington in the view erf the smartest politcal observers, should be very good for Mr. Roosevelt and his chances for re-election. In effect; it cuts a good deal of the ground out from under the feet of Huey Long, the LaFol lette Progressives, and other radical elements whose slogan is "soak the rich." These radical Democrats and Progressives seized upon the * new proposal, and their threats to "show up"' the President as insincere un less he demanded immediate action, are belived to have influenced him In his tnslntence upon tacking the new taxed to the bill extending the "nuisance taxes." As a bit of political strategy, it does not make much difference whether laws io carry out the President's plan are adopted at this session or not. G. O. P. Going Conservative It is becoming more clear from day to day that the cleavage be % tween the two parties in 1936 will be sharply defined, with the Repub lican Party distinctly on the Con servative side. Following the action of the "Grass Root" convention in Springfield, Illinois, the recent meet ing of the "Young Republicans" of New York went on record for a distinctively Conservation platform. Jn the meantime, Cong4ess has passed the biggest tax bill ever en acted in the United States, the Social Security Act, which taxes the payroll of every employer and the pay envelope of eVery wage earner, to provide a fund for unemploy ment insurance.and for the old age pensions. Instead' of the. Townsend Plan of S2OO a month for everybody over 65, the Goverment has em barked upon an old age pension plan for persons over 65 who have no resources of their own, begin ning at S3O a month, half to be paid by the Goverment and half by the respective states. States cain "con tribute more if they want to. Under pressure of the Labor Lobby the wagner Labor Disputes Bill slips through in spite of the fact that nearly everyone in Washington believes it is unconstitutional. There is a suggestion that here again is good political strategy, as it may line up organized labor behind a movement to amend the Constitu tion, a movement which looms up stronger from week to week as a probably issue in the 1936 cam paign. The outlook for thg Public Utili ties Holding Companies Bill now is that while it will be generally drastic it will not contain the "death sentence" which President Roose velt has ask for. This is one of the few instances in which the lower House has taken a definite and apparently firm stand against the President's desires. Likewise, material modifications are expected to be mjade in the Administration's Banking Bill before it is finally enacted, although its gereral pur pose and effect will not be material ly impaired. fcpssfl ■ Enjoy summer to its fullest this year A i by storm.
