Grange considers income tax bill for Maine
Maine Grange representatives told a Legislative recess committee the proposed sliding scale income tax would levy one to six percent on net incomes. A draft was not ready for review, with discussion planned for Nov 22 in Augusta and a January legislative report. The plan aims to ease the real estate burden and could yield substantial statewide revenue. The Grange tax proposal may be discussed at the Orange meeting on Dec 6 in Augusta. Meanwhile the Red Cross reported broad nationwide relief work, including 1,000,000 nurse visits, 559,187 school screenings, 295,028 bleeding and shock treatments, and 108,589 disaster victims aided, funded by the annual Armistice-Thanksgiving Roll Call.
