The sixth grade arithmetics used to tell ns thnt money at 5 per cent doubles Itself In 12 years, compounded. It Is not definitely known Just what the administration will recommend In the way of new taxes. Congress leans heavily to heavy InThis fits In with heritance taxes. the Roosevelt policy of whittling It is away at Inherited fortunes. In tune with heavy Income taxes, reduced Interest on Investments, smaller profits for business, etc. In fact, It Is almost a necessary part of New Deal philosophy. For granted that the Roosevelt program for small profits, etc., would work, the whole tendency would be to freeze existing conditions, preventing any new fortunes from being created, but, by the safety thrown around existing enterprises, tending also to preserve existing fortunes. Assuming they were big enough to stand losses In certain directions utility earnings, for exnmple. So it appears likely that heavier Inheritance taxes will be one of the surest factors In the new tax program. Under consideration also, though with no formal blessing as yet from the White nouse, Is the proposed tax on life Insurance premiums. This would be 1 per cent, but would be paid by the companies direct. Policy holders of course would really pay It, for their dividends and policy reductions would naturally be less. There Is plenty of political dynamite In this one. Even more protests would be caused by another tax under consideration by the treasury experts. This would reduce the present exemption of 40 cents on movie admission to 10 cents! ! I 9321 rcoorrlgtit. SMATTER POP 1934. fry C Huntley. S. Trade Vara Kf. V. 8. Pat Office, By C. M.
