Income and Gas Taxes Increase Approved by House Panel
The Ways Means Committee approved a program raising income and gas taxes to fund a 3.3 billion dollar public works bond issue. It raises the normal income tax from 4 to 6 percent for incomes up to 4,000 dollars net and to 10 percent on higher amounts, taxing corporate dividends at the income rate, and imposes a 3 to 4 cent gasoline levy. The package would yield about 221 million dollars, after rejecting an excise tax on manufacturers and other proposed levies.
