Tax bill differences loom in 3 percent Earned Income plan
Washington reports a conference between House Chairman Kitchin and Secretary McAdoo over the 3 percent differential on earned incomes as the sole hurdle to a revenue bill agreement. The measure would tax beer at six dollars a barrel and wines by the gallon with rates tied to alcohol content. A 60 cent per gallon tax on wine or grape distillates would apply for fortifying wine in the bottling process, with an independent 0.5 percent tax on beverages under 50 percent alcohol. Soft drinks would be taxed as well.
