Judge Green Sees Light Tax Cut And No Extra Session
Judge William R. Green of Council Bluffs, a Ways and Means chairman, predicts no extra congressional session but a federal tax cut next year. Corporations likely benefit most, individuals see little impact, and the inheritance tax should stay the same. He notes small farmers earn too little to owe income tax while government spending rises. Hoover remains popular in the East, with Lowden less echoed, and Coolidge still top minds in the Midwest.
