Congress Pushes Tax Program Inheritance Taxes High Rates And Wealth Reform
Washington June 26 The administration plans to seek enactment this week of a tax program to raise 8400,000,000 mainly through inheritance taxes gift levies high taxes on large incomes and a graduated income tax. Senate Finance Committee Senator Pat Harrison disclosed this. House Ways and Means Democrats rejected Speaker Burns appeal to extend nuisance taxes to ninety days and chose to pause. Congress weighs wealth distribution and proposes confiscating up to 25 percent of fortunes of wealthy heiresses who marry European nobles as a logical step. Critics attack the plan amid pressure to pass Roosevelt’s tax wealth program before the weekend. Leaders indicate a portion may be debated before sundown. An amended resolution extending nuisance and excise levies is considered but not guaranteed before the deadline. Senate leaders later abandon tying the Wealth Tax plan to nuisance measures and say the House will originate the new tax legislation. President Roosevelt insists on action this session though not necessarily as part of the nuisance tax.
