Many Changes Made in Tariff Measure
The conference report on the Underwood Simmons tariff bill outlines major revisions from the House version. It raises the top income tax rate to seven percent on incomes over 75,000 and trims exemptions, adds numerous items to free or lower duties, and reshapes automobile rates to a 30 percent ceiling for under 2,000 dollar value. The agreement lowers many duties overall, preserves a sugar treaty provision, and keeps a civil service path for income tax officials.
