Chamber official urges curbing spending to speed reemployment
Fred H. Clausen of Horicon Wisconsin, chairman of the Chamber of Commerce committee on federal finance, told the 24th convention that Roosevelt policy must curb government spending and tax reforms to revive idle employment. He attacked the wealth tax and corporate tax plans, arguing for limited federal taxation to fund administration and a balanced budget. He warned that current proposals raise revenues in good times and depress durable goods during downturns, harming those without capital and offering no substitute plan until Congress trims spending.
