LARGE INCREASE
IN TAKES CITED
New Levies Bring More
Than 20 Per Cent of All
U. S. Collections.
Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, Dec. 7.—New taxes
Imposed by the present administration
accounted for collections of almost
$1,000,000,000 in the fiscal year 1937,
or more than 20 per cent of all in
ternal revenue, according to The Index
of the New York Trust Co. Manu
facturers’ excise taxes, the excess
profits tax, the undistributed profits
tax, and the social security taxes
are singled out by the bank review
as the most Important of these new
levies which were not made in 1930
but are now Incorporated in the
Federal tax structure.
“Internal revenue collections bear
most heavily upon those States where
manufacturing is the major indus
try,” states The Index, “and this
tendency has been accentuated by the
new taxes imposed in recent years.
While this may be rationalized to a
great extent on the basis of Income
received ip these manufacturing
States, as well as by ease of collection,
the fact remains that income in the
agricultural States, as represented by
farm products retained for consump
tion on the farm, may represent a very
substantial item which escapes taxa
tion altogether. The charge that in
dustry maintains price levels out of
proportion to the costs of raw mate
rials must thus always be viewed in
the light of the heavy taxation to
which it is directly or Indirectly
exposed through these various in
ternal revenue taxes.
“There is little disagreement on the
main point that our present tax sys
tem is cumbersome and subject to
marked inequalities, with serious
duplication between the various levies
Imposed by the Federal Government
and those of other governmental
units. If the primary purpose of
taxation is to raise the revenues neces
sary for the proper functioning of
government, it would appear clear
that taxes which serve to restrict
industry’s opportunity to make further
progress, defeat their own purposes
by raising the costs of production so
high that a curtailment of the dis
tributive market is almost inevitable.”

$40,000 AWAITING
OLD-AGE CLAIMANTG
1,900 Social Security Accounts in
Washington Are Due, but
Unclaimed.
Approximately 1,900 old-age benefit
accounts involving about $40,000 await
claimants here, according to Ralph B.
Harris, manager of the local field of
fice of the Social Security Board, who
urged yesterday that those entitled to
the money apply for it.
The funds are in two classes: Those
due wage earners who have reached
the age of 65 since the old-age bene
fits plan went into effect last January
1, and the survivors of those who have
died since that time. In each in
stance, the account amounts to 3 Vi
per cent of the amount contributed
to the benefit* fund by the wage
earner.
Until old-age oeneflt payments
start January 1, 1942, those covered by
the system will get a lump sum upon
reaching 65, lump-sum payments will
always be made at death.
Application for this money may be
made at the offices of the board in
the Bond Building. Fourteenth street
and New York avenue N.W.

1926-1928 average as 100. The index
is currently at the lowest level reached

Last week’s decline in the all-com
modity index reflected further price
weakness in industrial commodities

curred in the food price average, the
net result of eight items Included in
the group moving downward and nine
advancing.

ither farm products took the group
ndex to the lowest level reached since
December, 1934.
Declining prices for cotton goods,
*oo 1, woolen goods and burlap, which

lor the last three years.
A slight decline was registered by
he fuel price average during the
week, with a decline in crude petro
leum more than offsetting a slight
rise in coke.

the week in the indexes representing
the prices of building materials and
chemicals and drugs.
