Reduction In Oklahoma Tax Levies Urged
Oklahoma City December 11 The interim joint legislative tax committee proposed cuts totaling about 44 750 000 annually in general fund levies. State finances were described as favorable with funds to retire debt and a general fund surplus expected for the 1947 fiscal year. The plan calls for a one third slash in income tax rates for individuals and corporations, higher personal exemptions, and smaller rates on insurance, corporation license, and other levies, aiming to reduce overall state revenue but leave ample funds for higher appropriations.
