Mellon Favors Reduction of Income Surtaxes
Secretary Mellon plans to renew his recommendation for lowering the upper brackets of income surtaxes at the next congress. He notes the recent surge in tax receipts and credits the surtax cut with spurring investment in productive ventures rather than tax exempt securities. He says further reductions are the only way to curb tax exempt issues, though Capitol reception may be cool. He may also propose changes to other tax schedules, details to be kept close until the session opens.
