New Revenue Bill Attacked. Alternative Tax Plan Proposed
The U S chamber of commerce denounces the new revenue bill as a failure and backs a flat 10 percent sales tax plus 5 percent withholding tax. The plan would raise about 12.0 billion dollars for war, more than the bill’s 6.271 billion projection, alongside existing taxes totaling 17.0 billion. Ellsworth C. Alvord urges a bold offensive to fight inflation, arguing the current plan fails to fund the war or control inflation.
