STATE WOULD STOP
LOOPHOLE IN TAX
Bill Prohibits Corporations
Deducting Previous Lees-
es in Reporting. . _ "*
A storm of protest centered around
house bill No. 180, introduced by Rep-
rosentative George R. Sturges. arose f
at a hearing before the committ 2
finance last week. The bill which 'i
would eliminate by amendment the
practice by corporations or deducting
losses sustained in previous years“ in .
computing net income for the current ‘
year by Tax Commissioner William H.
Blodgett and Joseph, P. Egan.
Blotlgett App
Commissioner Blodget tawred the
present 2 pier cent. tax on miscellan-
eous corporations and pointed ’but
that in opposing the theory of deduct~
lng frOm the profi it one year, the
losses of s. preced ng year, based on
the return made to the federal :‘gov-
ernment. he was not recommending
a change. but rather a. return to the
old law.

Ralph O. \Vells. appearing for the
Manufacturers' Association of Con-
necticut and the Connecticut Mer-
chants' Association. spoke in favor of
having those who have made money
mer a period of years pay any in-
crense in the states revenue’ thought
necessary. while those who lest
money last year should be allowed to ‘
recuperate.
Professor Adams of Yale Univerel
ty, who is credited with the author-
ship or the federal law concerning
the taxation or miscellaneous corpor-
ations. said the income tax is a. cum-
bersome thing but has one great vir-
tue its equity. He opposed the
amendment as an inequality and
urged legislation that will enhance
the one redeeming feature of the in-
come tax law. Mr. Meyers. represent-
ing the Scotill Mfg. Co. or Water-
bury argued that several manufactur-
ers have made their state returns on
the basis of the federal tax returns.

One of VVilton's imperative needs
is more housing room for peopleuot
moderate means. It is impossible {or
desirable residents to obtain rentals
near the center. where many must
~ live unless able to own an auto. Is it
too much to ask those having capi-
tal to invest some in erecting houses
for these homeless ones to live. or
does the high priee‘ot labor act as I
deterent?
