Truman Asks For Lower Income Tax
Proposal To Aid Low Income Group Raise Corporation Profits Tax
Washington—(UP)—President Truman asked congress today to free 10 millions or more low pay individuals from income taxes and to impose new levies on corporations to offset an estimated revenue loss of $3,200,000.00.
Specifically, he recommended a $40 cost-of-living tax credit for each
GOP Charges Demagoguery
Washington. — (UP)—Republicans today accused President Truman of "political demagoguery" in his recommendations to congress for tax reduction
Republication leaders in congress said the tax program proposed by the president in his state of the union message didn't stand the slightest chance of being approved.
Some influential Democrats in congress privately admitted that this was true.
Mr. Truman asked congress to allow a 40-ahead cost-of-living tax cut on individual income taxpayers and to raise corporate taxes to offset an estimated $3,200,000,000 loss of revenue. His plan would take about 10,000,000 low income persons off the tax rolls altogether.
The Republicans went ahead with their own plans for tax reduction. They will be based on a bill already introduced by Rep. Harold Knutson R., Minn., chairman of the tax-writing house ways and means committee.
The Knutson bill would increase personal exemptions from the present $500 to $600 and would grant percentagewise cuts ranging from 30 per cent for the low-income groups to 10 per cent in the higher brackets. It would make no change in corporate rates.
Knitsu led the Republican attack on the president's tax proposal.
"The President's plan is pure political demagoguery," he said. "It would provide for an increase of corporate taxes from the present 38 per cent maximum to perhaps as high as 50 per cent."
Dove Declines League Offer
Five members of the Dove staff, at a Student League for Industrial Democracy meeting in Detroit recently, declined an offer to make the Dove the official organ of that group.
Stanley Kelley, who attended the meeting, said that enthusiasm for the Dove was expressed when a motion was presented to make the paper the official voice of the league.
Kelley said that although staff members at the meeting could not accept the offer, they did agree to send copies of the paper to member organizations of the league. Staff members attending the meeting were Wesley Elliot, Henry Pinault, Austin Turney, Wendell Walker, and Kelley.
The editorial board of the Dove met Monday to plan for publishing an increased number of .copies to handle the added circulation.
WEATHER
Kansas—Fair today, tonight and Thursday. Warmer today. High today lower 60's west to upper 50' s east. Low tonight middle to upper 30' s
*Individual taxpayer with an additional $40 credit for each dependent, effective on income received in this calendar year.
Mr. Truman revealed his election year tax relief program in his annual message on the state of the union. He delivered it in person before a joint session of congress.
Tax rates on larger corporations would have to be jumped from 38 to 50 per cent to raise approximately $38,200,000 of additional revenue. Mr. Truman's tax cut would be about the equivalent of an increase of personal exemptions from the present $500 to $700. It was an across-the-board proposal applying to rich and poor alike. But the president observed that it would mostly benefit the low income group.
For example: The income tax of a man with wife and two children would be reduced $160 a year.
Revision of the entire tax structure for the more substantial relief of higher income groups must be delayed. Mr. Truman said, until the danger of inflation has passed.
Message In Style Of FDR
The President's message was a wide swinging document in the new deal tradition of the late Franklin D. Roosevelt. It was aimed at the many millions whom Henry A. Wallace designates as the "common man." In large part it repeated recommendations of previous Truman messages which have been consistently ignored by congress—including a hike in minimum wages, this time from 40 to 75 cents an hour.
1. Secure the essential human rights of all citizens.
The President set up five major goals for congress to help him attain or approach in this presidential election year:
5. Achieve world peace based on principles of freedom, justice and equality for all nations.
Renews Rationing Request
2. Protect and develop our human resources.
4. Lift living standards.
3. Conserve natural resources.
4. Lift living standards.
In addition to his new request for a higher minimum wage, Mr. Tru man appealed again for limited rationing and price-wage controls to fight inflation, universal training for American youth, a long-range housing program, and a national health insurance program.
Mr. Truman's proposed hike in minimum wages would be the equivalent of a boost from $16 to a minimum of $30 per 40 hour week. He asked more funds for anti-trust enforcement and stronger legislation to protect competition against monopoly.
Mr. Truman said every American family should be provided with a decent home within the next 10 years. Meanwhile he demanded extension and strengthening of rent controls.
Wants Long Range Housing
"As an immediate step," he said, "We need the long-range housing program which I have recommended on many occasions. It should provide public housing for low-income families and vigorous development of new techniques to lower the cost of building."
The message keynotes were peace and prosperity. But Mr. Truman (continued to page eight)
