Treasury Experts Weigh Plans for Large Tax Cuts
Washington reports Treasury Department experts are studying several tax cut proposals ranging from 100 million to 800 million dollars annually. Officials aim to spread relief to the widest purse while avoiding inequities among taxpayers, though no immediate cuts are promised. The year ends with a projected 18 million dollar surplus, and next year may bring a larger surplus enabling potential tax reductions if conditions warrant. Secretary Mellon will not propose cuts in his current annual report to Congress. A special message to Congress could follow in spring if treasury conditions justify.
