Opinions expressed are those of the writers and should not bo Interpreted as reflecting the editorial polky of this newspaper. WASHINGTON By George Durno TaxesUnless the Congressional situa-1 tion develops even more snarly then now auticipated you good folk; of the nation need not worry about any additional federal taxation during this session.
The Roosevelt administration, sol its Congressional spokesmen have! indicated, will be satisfied with a reenactment of some $100,000,000 of nuisance taxes. These already have been in effect on radios, auto sories, gas, long enough generly to be taken for granted. A Republican press agent might point out that the New Denl very much doesn't want new tax legislation because next year: is a presidential year. But he would only be repeating what Democratic agents said at the same period of the. political moon when the G.O.P.
was in power. Tax increases and campaigns don't mix well. Prudence- Senator Jim Byrnes of S. a recognized White House spokesman on the Senate floor, has pointed out what a marked gain was noted in 1934 income taxes as against 1933. He has not yet had a political opponent counterblast publicly that 1933 was the year of the bank holiday, etc.
Secretary of the Treasury Morgenthay.is not inclined to talk abinit new taxation. He has had experts surveying the field for some time but best words is that the Treasury will submit NO new tax schedules unless Congressional committees specifically ask for revenue likely, because most raising suggestions. of Congress is up for reelection next year, too. Stymied- But before the tumult and the shouting of this session dies there. is apt to be" lots of vigorous talk about immediate new taxation.
Senator Couzens of Michigan wants to impose a graded corporation tax that big business would worry about. Senator LaFollette of Wisconsin suggests higher income rates in the lowest and highest brackets--with most of the pressure on top, Senatorial advocates of further levies are stymied by. one thing. The Constitution requires that all revenue measures must originate in the House. And so far the House has only been able to growl faintly through, its muzzle.
There may be much talk on the other side of the Capitol but there won't be any action unless the House leadership decrees. War Profits- The Senate munitions committee will soon report out its recommendations on control of profits during war. This doesn't mean that legislation will be enacted. gestions by. Bernard M.
Baruch. John T. Blynn and members of the committee are at variance, although the general idea is the hold down profits or tax them. But the committee chairman, Senator Nye, is supported by several members in a. desire to lop private munitions enterprises altogether.
This meets opposition from Secretary of War Dern. The Department objects also. Expertsling insist that the government can't economically maintain war equipment plants in peace time on scale capable of instant expansion in war time. With urgent recovery legislation pending the best guess is that Congress will not enact. war-profit islation at this session.
8 Undercover- coming the White House in increasing numbers recently urging that President Roosevelt go on the radio again 3 "fireside ialk" and reassure people that everything is all right. The White House would nothing better than a good dramatic issue with which to do just that. The trouble is that right now whole national picture is in state of flux. Well-defined ences 011 the one hand and other fluences not. so well defined probably more powerful are hammering away at President Roosevell's prestige.
