Treasury submits estimates on corporate profits tax plan
Treasury chief Morgen Thau told the Senate Finance Committee that the proposed compromise corporate profits tax could raise about 623 million dollars annually in the 803 million revenue bill. The plan imposes a 16 percent flat tax on all corporate income with surtaxes on the portion retained for reserves. Treasury argues it would not lose revenue by exempting dividendless corporations, noting 75 such companies with 1 million dollar net income in 1934 paid 27 million in taxes, versus 96 million under the act.

Opposition Voice to Gas Tax Increase in Pennsylvania
The House appropriations and means committee heard opposition to a proposed three to four cent gas tax increase aimed at raising 12 million dollars for unemployment relief next year. Lancaster’s S Boward Gable, head of the Pennsylvania Motor Federation, argued the levy would boost revenue from gasoline and new car sales, while Lebanon’s John J Light of the State Grange warned farmers would bear a 456 thousand dollar burden. Harry L Gormley of the Pennsylvania Motor Truck Association asserted commercial vehicles account for 42 percent of Pennsylvania gasoline use, and that the tax would place the state among the highest gas taxes east of the Mississippi and north of the Potomac.
