President Hoover Says New Tax Needed to Balance Budget
President Hoover told Congress the nation must raise 355 million to balance the federal budget, proposing a 2.4 percent general sales tax on all items except food. The tax would be levied at manufacture to avoid pyramiding, with other savings and loans noted to reduce overall outlays. The plan forecasts a net reduction of about 581 million, though veterans benefits cuts meet strong opposition and war bonus claims loom large. The current debt would rise without new taxes, and post office, military, and treasury outlays are detailed alongside expected receipts.
