Married men again favored in tax measure
Washington reports the House Ways and Means Committee Republicans moved to raise the exemption for married men with net income up to 5,000 from 2,000 to 2,500 retroactive to January 1, 1921, while also cutting several luxury levies. They expect to brief a conference of Republicans, then seek final passage next week with possible rule limits on debate. The plan preserves cigarette and alcohol taxes and drops a proposed 25 percent next year, with a possible 3 percent manufacturer tax on luxury goods, though administration feasibility remains uncertain.
