The plan would tax newspapers magazines direct mail and transit advertising as well as ads printed on trucks trains and aircraft, risking stifling growth in a state driven by commerce and free enterprise. A separate Census note highlights a gender balance shift with 102 million females and 98 million males, touching on political and social consequences.

Tax Burden Cut for Poor Under New Reform Plan
The House Ways and Means Committee forecasts by 1975 a net gain of about 7 billion in revenue with broad tax relief. By 1972 all but the richest taxpayers could see at least a 5 percent cut, while 2 million poor families may be taken off the tax rolls entirely. The plan hikes standard deduction to 15 percent with a 2000 ceiling and outlines enhanced benefits for widows and single earners over 35. Higher earners face possible offsetting crackdowns.
