New Income Tax Schedule Presented to Congress
Secretary Mellon proposed a new normal income tax schedule to the House Ways and Means committee.

The secretary said in a letter to Chairman Green this plan would likely be more satisfactory than the treasury proposal of one percent on the first three thousand, three percent on the next four thousand, and five percent after.
