President Roosevelt sent a special tax plan to Congress aiming to fund the farm program and the bonus. It would repeal the corporate tax and replace it with a tax on undistributed profits, estimated to raise about 1.6 billion annually, plus 620 million for farm aid, and temporary windfall and processing taxes to replace losses. The proposal would simplify the system and plug major leaks, though Democrats on the Ways and Means committee voiced opposition.
