Revenue Shrinks Warns of Higher Taxes and Cuts
Secretary Mellon told the House Ways and Means Committee that federal outlays must be cut by more than 2500000 and taxes raised to cover a 4550000000 fiscal year need. He projected 3830000000 to be raised by taxation with the current law yielding 260000000 less. He warned that without substantial reductions, revenue would shrink faster than expenditures due to tax yield declines. Mondell urged trimming the tax levy by at least 500000000 while preserving essential government costs.
