Huge New Tax Plan Is Proposed By Administration
Washington April 17 AP A sweeping tax program to raise 3.5 billion dollars in new revenue was proposed by the administration with both party leaders backing. Morgenthau urged raising all rates 25 to 50 percent across income excess profits and excise taxes. The plan may cut exemptions and lift liquor and other excises, plus estate and gift taxes. Some sources said a general sales tax could be considered, though the administration has frowned on that approach in the past. President Roosevelt has approved the goal and will discuss it with Congress and the public. Morgenthau outlined the concept to key House and Senate tax committees. The report notes approval but details were not disclosed.
