Ruml Plan Converts Tax Policy to Alternate-Year Dues
The legislative history shows a heated debate over the Ruml-Carlson plan to tax wages by choosing the lower of 1942 or 1943 taxes or cancel certain brackets. House votes swung between proposals, with a final compromise canceling the 1912 6 percent tax and preserving high-bracket surtaxes while adopting a 20 percent deduction on wages. The Senate and White House shaped the bill into a 5 percent payroll approach with eventual cancelation options for the lower tax year.
