Income Tax Fight Won by Democrats in Senate
Washington reports the Senate adopted the Democratic income tax substitute, with 43 to 40 backing the surtax revisions and 44 to 37 approving normal rates. Republicans joined liberals in supporting the plan, reducing the top surtax from 50 to 40 percent and aligning more with the Simmons plan and House proposals. The measure sets normal rates at 2 percent on the first 4000, 4 percent on the next 4000, and 6 percent above 8000, contrasting with current 4, 8, and higher schedules.
