Tax plan seeks higher rates and new levies in budget plan
The budget director Lewis Douglas outlines four revenue programs to fund a wartime bond issue. Proposals raise normal income taxes from four to six percent for incomes around $4,600 and to ten percent for higher earnings, targeting about $83 million in new yields. A one cent gasoline tax would rise by three quarters of a cent, producing roughly $92 million. Dividends from corporate stocks would join the tax base. Sales tax support is noted but committee members favor a primary plan. Four plans were offered without recommendation.
