New Taxes
' Washington (JP)—A 9 billioi
6 million war tax program whicl
will “be felt in every Americai
home” was laid before Congrea
by Morganthau this week H<
told the House Ways and Meani
committee that the new taxes an
severe, and their impact will b<
felt everywhere. War is nevei
cheap, he sai 1, I ut it is a millior
times cheaper to win than to lose
Additional taxes he proposec
would by themselves be greatej
than any ever collected by tht
• Jederul government in any single
year.
As a down payment for victor}
Morganthau asked doubling most
peoples individual income tax
rates. If a single man gets a $2,
000 salary he will pay $230 tax,
if he made a million he would
only be allowed to keep about
$100,000. Part of the tax will
probably be deducted from pay
checks. He also recommended
higher taxes on corporations and
plugging the so called loopholes.
New higher taxes on 15 items,
such as soda pop and cigarettes,
stiffer estate gift taxes, plus 2
billion additional social security
taxes to be specified later, to
gether with existing federal taxes,
the secretary said would fulfill
the President’s budget request of
27 billion taxes for the coming
fiscal year beginning July 1.
