He said the subcontract exemp-
ton was made retroactive large
ly because We could not get any
accurate information from the
Treasury with regard to any pos

George offered this explanation
Of why the Treasury's $40, 500, 000,-
900 tax increase goal was not
achieved:
1.-THE Treasury proposed to raise
large part of this additional rev.
enue by relieving from all taxes
II million present taxpayers, and
also to reduce the tax burden on
million or two more, shifting the
load over to individual taxpayers
with earnings Of So 500 and up.
THE Treasury has consistently
opposed any defensibIe savings
program and has likewise consist
emily opposed every suggestion of
a sales tax.
ION the contrary, the only sug-
gestion made by the Treasury thus
far, aside from the enc mentioned
above, is a spendings tax h a
would be imposed on what the
taxpayer spends, with very heavy
excise taxes On many products,
articles and services, and with
high taxes en- incomes.
