Taxes Used To Finance Big Industry Bill
Senate Finance Committee chairman Harrison presents a complete substitute to fund the $3.3 billion public works portion of the industrial recovery bill. The plan raises $227 million via corporate dividends at the source, repeals tax preferences, and shifts tax collection to the source to cut admin costs. It also raises gasoline tax revenue and seeks a safety margin of $7 million while extending a consolidated return provision for three years beyond 1934.
