Coal Employers Want To Lift Social Security Tax
The National Goal Association urged Congress to end the social security tax on employers and finance the program by taxing workers and the public. James W Haley testified that increases would hurt coal mine owners and urged eliminating the employer tax while funding via worker taxes or general revenues or a national sales tax. Haley noted coal payroll costs are high and the present tax discriminates against coal versus gas and hydro power.

Action on the bill to establish a Missouri Valley Authority appears unlikely this session. Senate hearings have not been scheduled and the bill has not been introduced in the House, despite repeated attempts. The Pick-Sloan plan is criticized, Interior favors the MVA, Hoover Commission flags the plan as a costly failure, and past reform efforts have stalled.
