Per Capita Tax Sparks Debate at Chamber Meeting
At the Chamber of Commerce of the United States meeting in Washington William B Bell warned that high and multiple taxes hinder national recovery. He cited per capita taxes rising from 75.14 in 1933-34 to about 79 in 1934-38, contrasting with a UK decline from 91.81 to 87.50. A financial journal notes business corporations faced 6 to 72 governments and 7 to 117 tax types, yet lawmakers still seek new revenue instead of cutting burdens.
