' *••'- K7- i ; Waslitrigfon, April 9. -- Soe^twy Mellon declared that a $70,<XX),000 iu- <ffrease in Income tax collections for March, 1923 over March, 1S»2*2, with the maximum surtax rate reduced to 80 per cent, has thoroughly vindicated fclin for urging congress to reduce surtaxes to a maximum of 25 per cent In a statement analyzing the returns this year under the revised law Secretary. Mellon points out how the lower tax rates on big incomes operate to Increase rather than decrease revenue, and reiterates his recommendation that the surtax maximum, reduced last year from 05 to 50 per cent, should be still further reduced to 25 per cent. "Revenue revision," Secretary Mellon said, "presents a practical problem, and what has already been accomplished indicates the practical answer and shows clearly what course further revision should take. "There is no point in maintaining high rates of taxation which do not produce revenue, and there is no doubt that the high income tax rates still in effect are gradually defeating their own purpose and creating artificial conditions that hamper business and Industry and reduce the volume Of income subject to taxation." , Mr. Mellon announced that the total collections for March were $463,000,- 000, as compared with $398,000,000 in March, 1922. He then said that the combined normal and surtax rate this year Is 58 per cent, whereas it was 78 per cent in 1922. He further pointed out that the new law contained no excess profit tax, although imposing as a partial substitute a 2% cent flat additional tax on the net Incomes of corporations.
