Hoover proposes 2.3 percent manufacturers tax and salary cuts
President Hoover submits next year’s budget cutting over half a billion from current appropriations. The plan includes a 2.3 percent manufacturers tax, retention of a one cent gasoline tax, an 11 percent civilian salary reduction, and a $127 million cut in veterans benefits. Secretary Mills backs these proposals in detail, blaming unproductive excise taxes and urging a repeal in favor of the new manufacturer tax. The House split over tax policy remains a focal dispute from the last term.
