PLAN IS URGED Would Vary Lovy According to Source and Raise Exemp tion Figure CONSIDERED BY -SENATORS Hy the Associated Press Washington, May 14. An entlrelj new basis for levying national taxes, with exemptions on personal Incomes subitatiflally raN-d. wns submitted to the Senate Finance Committee toda b C. II. Clnrk. of Detroit, who snld he spoke for the Natlonnl Retail Dry (inodfl Axoclntlnn, the Nntionnl Asso ciation of Retail Clothiers, the Natlonnl Retail Shoe Dealers' Association nnd he National (iiirmcut Retailers' As sot lation. Cnncrcte!,, the plan would dlide all incomes into three classes which, with the aid of a sales tin, would carry vir tually the entire revenue burdens. Mr Clark proposed raising the exemptions on personal incomes from the present MlKHl for single persons to .?''.(Ml, nnd from $J0fllt for married persons to !f.-000. with an additional ."i(H) exemp tion for each child or dependent. In stead of the present $200. The witness also would lower the higher rates on income sarins. Mils L'lirarued Incomes Mr. Clark's plan divides all Incomes, roughly, as follows: First. Income from salaries and wages. Second. In come from all business, individual, partnership or corporation. Third. All other Income which ehiell) would lie unr"'-ed." and taxed higher. On sal aries nnd wages tin- tax proposed is a normal rate of 4 per cent on the first SJO'K) above the exemption and 8 per cent on the remainder. The Mvnnd clnss would be taxed 10 per cent, with an exemption of .!."000. A normal tav of 10 per cent is proposed for the third division, with surtaxes rnnglng from 1 per cent on incomes between $20,000 and Sno.OOO up to It pep cent. Adoption of the program, Mr. Clark said, would permit repeal of exces profits and excise taxes, manj luxury taxes and the tax on transportation. Repeal of the latter tux. he said, would be reflected noticenbly in retail prices. In using the sales tux and the new basis for assessing income taxes, Mr. Clark contended, the (Jovernment would b illectlng revenue nil "a practical parity of tin proceeds of a prolit dollar." m Kollrtte Renews Attach Another lesolntiou aimed nt Presi dent Hnrdlng's appointment of Ameri can representatives on allied councils was introduced todny by Senator l.a Follette.
