Tax Reduction Drive Is Begun In New Congress
The drive opens with Rep. Knutson introducing a 20 percent income tax cut bill for individuals set to apply to 1947 incomes. The measure includes a $500 extra exemption for taxpayers over 65 and a 10.5 percent cap on income over about 300000. Experts estimate costs at 3.3 to 3.4 billion dollars, though Knutson argues no net loss will occur.
