URGES SLASH OF
| SURTAX RATES
SECRETARY MELLON *BAYB HIGH
j RATES CREATE ARTIFICIAL
CONDITIONB
FORMAL STATEMENT ISSUED
One Reduction Has Helped, But An
other Cut is Needed For Effec
tiveness, Seys Secretary
Washington.—l-dsslble efforts by
the treasury to have congress further
cut the surtax rates on Incomes were
forecast in & formal statement by Sec
retary Mellon.
The secretary assorted that March
collections of Income and profits
taxes, aggregating $463,000,000, had
fully Justified hj,. prediction that
downward revision would have the
March collections, under such revision
as has been accepted, "proved a beau
tiful answer to the tax problem, and
shows clearly what course further re
vision should take.”
“There Is no point in maintaining
high.rates of taxations, which do not
produoe revenue,’’ the secretary con
tinued, “and there is no doubt that
the high lm:ome tax rates which are
still in effect are gradually defeating
their own purpose. They create arti
ficial conditions that tend to- hampor
business and industry and reduce the
volume of income s< : Meet to taxation.
The surtax notes, even under the rev
enue act of 1921 (the present law
rise as high as 6C per cent, giving
a combined maximum normal and sur
tax of 68 per cent, and, as the treas
ury has pointed out in the past, these
excessive rates produce such heavy
pressure on the larger tax payers to
reduce Income subject to surtaxes
that Inevitably they seek every pos
s!be means of avoiding the realization
Of taxable Incomes.
"The high rates sound productive,
but the fact remains that year by year
they arp becoming increasingly Inef
fective and are actually operating to
reduce rather than increase the gov
ernment’s revenue. I accordingly reo
ommended to the iast congress that
the surtaxes be reduced to a maximum
of 26 per cent making a maximum
normal and surtax of 33 per cent and
that, at the same t'me, various ave
nues of escape from the surtaxesi be
closed as far as possible under the
law.
“Congress has already acted to close
some of the gapß out for the most
part the evil still remains and the only
effective way to r® '!tls to reduoe
the eurtaxes themselves to a more
reasonable level In order to reduce
the pressure for avoidance of taxable
income and keep tho surtaxes from
becoming completely unproductive.
I am confirmed in the conclusion by
the arch collections that If readjusted
to the maximum of 25 per cent recom
mended by the treasury the surtaxes
would better accomplish their purpose
and yield at least as large and prob
ably larger revenues than the existing
rates without at the same time In
volving the country In the unwhole
some consequences which follow frqrn
artificial conditions growing out of the
present law.”
Mr. Mellon reiterated previous state
ments that among other things the
March collections Indicated "marked
ly better business’’ during 1922 than
In 1911. Bome of the Increase In gen
eral commercial activity, he said, ob
viously was traceable to the recovery
from the post-war slump but the re
lief accorded by the adoption of part
of the treasury’s recommendations on
tax revision hnd gl n anew Impetus
to business and has opened a gener
ally freer flew of capital Into produc
tive enterprise.
