Readinger Sees No 3 Per Cent Sales Tax Feasible
In Harrisburg Democrat Rep Readinger said Senate Republicans cannot gather enough votes for a 3 per cent sales tax even if pressed. He outlined a bipartisan tax package for discussion Wednesday including a 2 per cent personal income tax, conversion of a 4.5 per cent manufacturers excise tax, a rise in the corporate net income tax to 6 per cent, and quicker capital stock tax collections. The plan aims to raise about 450 million dollars by May 31, 1957, with details to be finalized at a tax conference.

He warned of a paradox where agriculture is a thriving industry yet farm families face depressed prices and income.
