House Committee Seeks
New Sources of Income
WASHINGTON, March 18. ? The
House Ways and Means Committee
loeked horns to-day with tax problems
arising out of the decision of the Su?
preme Court exempting stock dividends
from taxation. Treasury experts were
called to aid the committee in its
search for new sources of income.
Wayne Johnson, solicttor of the
Treasury Department, while not in
dorsing any plan, told the committee
excise taxes on stock dividends could
be made retroactive over a reasonable
period and would be held constitutional
in the future. Methods of flat taxation,
abolishing the gjaduated schedule now
existing, also were discussed, but com
ment was withheld by the committee.
Joseph S. McCoy. government ac
tuary, estimated that the total net loss
to the government as a result of the
decision would be not more than $35,
000,000, pointing out that immediate
osaes would be much larger but would
be offset materlally over a period of
years through the resale and subse?
quent higher taxation of the stocks.
Committee members said a loss of
?Jo,000,000 was not sufficient to necea
sitatre legislation to recover, but added
that some measure to prevent stock
hoUtvrs "going free in the future" and
to prevent excessive declarations of
stock dividends should be enacted.
Change of present tax laws is in?
probablc nt this session, Representative
Kitchin, Democrat, North Catollna.
said. Existing laws are satisfactory
and the graduation of taxes is fair, he
added.
