Treasury Hears on Ruml Carlson Tax Abatement Plan
Treasury General Counsel Randolph Paul testified before the Senate Finance Committee that there is little room for choice among three tax collection plans.

He warned the Rum-Carlson plan offers only modest 1944 gains but worse equity, asserting the Ways and Means bill is superior overall.
