Small Business Seeks Tax Cuts
About 900 businessmen marched on the capitol urging sharp cuts in federal spending and taxes as the National Small Businessmen's Association adopts a program calling for a $6.4 billion slash in Truman's 1951 budget and elimination of nonessential subsidies. They seek end to government competition with private business and tax reforms including removal of double taxation on dividends and repealing wartime excise taxes. The plan also targets labor laws with proposals to amend Taft-Hartley to curb industry wide bargaining, extend anti trust to unions, and repeal Wage-Hour and Walsh Healey acts.
