Roosevelt Signs New Tax Measure and Other Bills
President Roosevelt signed the new tax bill and a $100,000,000 interior department appropriation. The tax act raises $800,000,000 via a revised corporate tax and new levies, with rates 8 percent on the first 2 000, 11 percent on the next 13,000, 13 percent on the next 25,000, and 15 percent over 40,000. It taxes corporate income withheld from dividends at graduated rates. A cushion helps firms with net income under 50,000. Further actions include a $1.425 billion deficiency bill for relief and a $320 million flood control program, with Hopkins, Lewis, and Tugwell at the White House discussions.
