In a special message to Congress President Roosevelt calls for repealing income excess profits and capital stock taxes on corporations and replacing them with a graduated tax on undistributed corporate profits expected to yield about 1.614 billion annually. He argues the change would raise taxes on individuals and curb undistributed earnings while critics note large corporate investments in buildings and equipment would escape the levy.
