Tax Proposal
Is Shelved
Washington. July 12.?The House
4\a>s and Means Committee voted
today to sidetrack until next session
legislation to prohibit future issuance
of tax exempt securities aud to
reduce surtaxes cu Individual inclines
in the higher briukets.
Thp Treasury Departfent hail recommended
a ban on future tax exemptions
on the ground tnat they
tended to deprive industry of much
needed investment capfta,! and interfered
with the Oovernfent's tax
system. Treasury cfficials explained
that white surtaxes on Individual in
comes ranged as high as 70 per cent
investors were Inclined lo upt their
money in tax exempt bonds rather
than risk it in venturesome enterprise.
Cha'.rfan Doughton, Democrat, N.
C., said the committee fell there
v.as too little time left before adjournment
to attempt passage of the
legislation at this session.
The committee's action elimnated
another barrier to adjournment.
Doughton said the question was
referred to the Tax Subcommittee
for study during the recess in' connection
with its consideration of the
AJininistration's proposals for thor
ough revision of the tax structure
next year.
State and local go'vettimenis fought
the proposed e{imi:i.<tiu'i of tax
exempt securities.
