Treasury report shows 1929 receipts up modestly
The Treasury discloses internal revenue for the year ending June 30 with total receipts just over 3 billion dollars, about 100 million more than the prior year. Income taxes led the gain, rising 78 million despite a 1 percent tax cut. There is debate over extending the reduction, with President Hoover favoring it if possible and Republican leaders prepared to back legislation, though Treasury officials fear a deficit.
