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.
