The proposal aims to curb wartime profiteering by shifting tax structure. It would raise corporation taxes and cut personal exemptions to 400 dollars for singles and 1000 for married couples, with a 10 percent normal rate and an 8 percent top rate on higher incomes. The bill also lowers dependent exemptions to 250 dollars, reflecting broader wartime finance measures.
