Senate Finance Chief Wants Repeal of Wartime Taxes
Senator George of Georgia urged an all out repeal of wartime excise taxes this session, arguing it would boost business and employment. He noted taxes on fur sales, railroad and airline tickets, jewelry, and other items could be removed while permanent levies on liquor, cigarettes, and tobacco would stay. He warned the revenue loss would run about 1.5 billion dollars, offset by higher income taxes and savings in relief costs if the trend improves.
