New Taxes Sure to Come,
Senator Harrison Warns
Anotl~er Federal Deftest of Four Billion Dollars Face,
Country; New Sources of Revenue Sought; More
Persons to Be Hit.
By WILLIAM BRUCKART "
WNU Service, National Prtqts Bldg., Washington, D. C.
WASHINGTON. -- It requires a Waste, wreckage, nit-wit plans and
considerable amount of courage for
an active politician to talk about
more taxes in an election year, and
it is a hopeful sign when one tells
the truth about such a politically
delicate matter. When Sen. Pat
Harrison, the veteran Mississippi
Democrat, announced the other day
that new taxes are coming, there-
fore, it became a matter of mo-
ment. It was significant first that
Senator Harrison, speaking as chair-
man of the powerful senate finance
committee, should boldly say there
must be new taxes, and it was sig-
nificant in the second place because
Senator Harrison has not always
stood shoulder to shoulder with the
New Dealers.
But there is another federal
treasury deficit of something
like $4,000,000,000 staring us in
the face, and the size of it indi-
cates that no progress has been
made whatsoever in curtailing
federal spending. It tells us,
too, that the much ballyhooed
business recovery of a year ago
is yielding less in taxes than
had been calculated by the wish-
ful thinkers.
Thirdly, the probable deficit
seems to show there was at least
some merit in the assertions by
Senator Harrison and others in con-
gress last winter that some of the
New Deal policies are driving the
country .further into a hole instead
of bringing it out.
Senator Harrison's statements
constitute a warning that federal
taxes must dig deeper. In effect,
he told the country that the govern-
ment has been taxing to the point
where it can not expect any in-
,creased returns from the present
sources, however heavy the levies,
and that the scope of taxes must
be extended and expanded.
More Persons to Be -"
Hit by Federal Taxes
What does that mean? Simply, it
means that in any new tax laws
that are enacted, congress will in-
clude a greater number of persons
within the realm of federal tax
sources; people who never have
paid taxes to the federal govern-
ment before are going to pay them
hereafter. I am referring to income
taxes, directly, but the way the pic-
ture looks to me, there will be more
taxes that are indirect--and they hit
everybody. If congress doesn't ex-
tend the scope of federal taxation,
there will never be any chance of a
balanced budget, and if the future
does not bring forth a balanced
budget, we may as well kiss our
democratic form of government
good-by.
The reason I say there must be
additional "hidden taxes," levies
that are included in the cost ~o the
consumer such as the cigarette tax,
is that Senator Harrison's own state-
ment shows there will be insufficient
revenue raised by lowering the per-
sonal exemptions under the income
tax laws or by making the tax heav-
ier on those of, say, $10,000 annual
income and above. There can not
be any very large addition to the
revenue gained in that field for
the very good and sufficient reason
that there are not enough of those
taxpayers. Bureau of internal rev-
enue statistics prove that about 60
per cent of the country's income
earners have less than $2,000 per
family. As the laws now stand, a
person who is married and has an
programs--all have cost billions of
dollars•
As everyone knows, when new
taxes are added, a greater percent-
age of the country's voting inhabi-
tants are included.
So, maybe the veteran Senator
Harrison has a two-fold purpose in
mind, and it takes courage for him
to have either one of the two ideas
because he is in politics. Maybe he
sees the necessity for substantial
curtailment of federal spending and
realizes at the same time that the
life of a politician who opposes
spending is a hard road. But if
the average citizen is touched by
some new taxes, he will not be half
as anxious to support the candi-
date who promises pork, projects
and patronage--anything that sends
money back into the home district•
I would just hazard a guess that
the amiable and very clever Sen-
ator Harrison is going about the lat-
ter job in the only way that it can
be accomplished.
I give him praise and wish him
success, for preservation of our
government is of considerably more
moment than a few political lives.
this is No Joke to
Bankers o/Country
Some time ago, I reported the ex-
istence within administration poli-
cies of quite contradictory plans.
Here is a new one, and one that to
me is quite laughable. It probably
is not at all humorous to the bank-
ers of the country, whether they be
big bankers or little bankers in
small towns. Of course, bankers do
not always have a sense of humor;
nevertheless, I believe they may be
forgiven for failing to laugh at this
new condition.
To have a clear understanding of
the circumstance, it is necessary to
line up the several developments in
the order of their appearance as
government or administration pol-
my.
First, it will be remembered how
President Roosevelt ordered all
banks closed (and some stayed
closed) at the beginning of his ad-
ministration. He followed that with
legislation by congress that placed
new restrictions on how the banks
could loan money• It was a pretty
good law since it prevented some
sharp practices of which some bank-
ers had been guilty.
On top of this law, some l0 or 12
months later, Mr. Roosevelt lam-
basted the bankers for not making
loans to business. He charged them
with locking their vaults, called
them cowards and what-nots, trying
to force money out into the channels
of trade when there were few busi-
ness men doing enough business to
pay interest on the money they were
using.
Then, the urge came for deposit
"insurance. Mr. Roosevelt was not
enthusiastic about any federal de-
posit insurance scheme, but Senator
Vandenberg, Michigan Republican,
had developed a terrible desire to
have it. He forced it through con-
;ross, and Mr. Roosevelt signed the
bill. I think the time will come
when the country will regret that
law, but that is neither here nor
there. It is on the statute books,
and the federal deposit insurance
corporation has a function to see
that banks are properly, run.

To Search jor New
Tax Possibilities
Senator Harrison's committee will
search through all of the various tax
possibilities in the next three or
four months. It will have to do
that. The house committee on ways
and means, which considers tax leg-
islation in the house, will not have
the courage to go as far in adding
to the tax burden. It never has had
that much courage for the reason
that its members come up for elec-
tion every two years-and, again,
taxes are unpopular things for a pol-
itician. Thus, we will have to look
to the Harrison committee if prog-
ress is made in bringing the nation's
tax receipts into some relation with
its spending.
The addition of new taxes is a
serious matter, yet it appears that
new taxes cannot be avoided• We
have had our play time, our fun.
We have danced; now, the fiddler
must be paid. When new taxes are
added, the buying power of every
person paying the tax is reduced by
that amount. But through five
years, money has been spent by the
government in ways that put to
shame the famed drunken sailor
ashore for the first time in a year.
pression got really bad. He sought
to stem the tide by persuading the
bankers to make more loans. Some
of us here got the impression that
Mr. Jones wanted the bankers to
shove out the money and ask later
on whether they could get it back.
Anyway, the sum and substance of
the situation was that Mr. Jones
was urging the banks to find ways to
loan money.
Then came the climax, the peak,
and the laugh• Hardly had Mr.
Jones concluded his series of lec-
tures to the bankers (who, accord-
ing to the Jones picture, really did
not want to make money) when an-
other government agency gets into
the play. The Federal Deposit In-
surance corporation had something
to say about the bankers, and Chair-
man Crowley issued a statement to
all and sundry bankers•
Said Mr. Crowley, in substance:
Bankers, the FDIC insures your de-
posits up to $5,000 per depositor;
thus they are protected. But that
does not mean you can take a
chance on unsound loans. You can't
take any greater risk than you would
ff there was no insurance of the
deposits. Just remember that, boys;
be careful and don't stub your toes!
