Heavier Taxes on Little Man to Be Studied
Washington reports the Treasury will intensively study the feasibility of heavier income taxes on the "little fellow" this summer. No policy decisions are planned until Morgenthau and the President discuss the issue after vacations. The plan may include easing the burden with selected excises such as theater admissions and cosmetics to offset higher income taxes. The administration also considers restoring undistri buted corporate profits tax and raising capital gains taxes while seeking broader exemptions reforms. Senator LaFollette pushes for a widened base by reducing personal exemptions and lifting rates on smaller incomes.
