Tax Revision Debate Signals Higher Levies Next Year
Weekly analysis reports that tax relief for private citizens remains unlikely as 1939-40 expenditures exceed the 1938-35 budget by about 1 billion dollars. Proposals include reinstating nuisance levies, replacing the undistributed profits tax with a 18 percent rate on corporations earning over 25 thousand, and cutting net business losses from Ohio. Monthly relief grants vary by state, with examples from Atlanta, New York, Mississippi, California, and Arkansas. The American Association of Relief Workers urges continued federal grants to states to maintain a uniform relief system amid divergent state fortunes.
