Father of Personal Tax Defends Its Necessity
Judge Walter Holcomb defends Connecticut’s personal tax as equitable and stable. He argues a $2 per capita levy on males 21 to 60 distributes the national burden fairly, encourages towns to collect, and aids support for the National Guard while exempting the indigent.
