Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1943-11-26

FORGOTTEN Man
THE ways and committee of the House of Representa-
tves has prepared federal program calling
fer about ONE FIFTH of the taxes demanded by the spend
thrift New Deal administration
The measure provides slightly more than two billion dollars
in new federal ANNUALLY while the administration had
asked for ten and onehalf billions.
This represents drastic cutailment of New Deal spending
facilities and is gratifying.
It's especially gratifying that the powerful House committee
charged with responsibility for initiating has
attempted levy taxes not to the measure of what the New
Deal administration spend but within the limit of what
can reasonably be borne by the taxpayers at this time
HOWEVER gratifying as this attitude may be- the ominous
fact remains that the Deal is still getting MORE
instead of less to spend and the people still being burdened
with MORE taxes
The new revenue measure even as curtaled will raise the
total ANNUAL federal tax bill than As billion dollars
the highest in history.
1t dubious benefit to the taxpayers the United States
that their bill going be higher and higher though
the great merit of giving the New Deal all it wants
to spend.
The ways and committee should have paid
attention than it did to the overbuldened taxpayers
1t should have paid particular attention, matter of fact
to its minority.
The Republican members the committee did that
bill raising the highest in history benefit to the
people a credit to the committee.
For long the Overburdened taxpayer has been THE
FORGOTTEN MAN, the Republican minority said in its report
"For the wachword has been spend and spend tax
and tax"
THE attitude minority that billion dollar increase
less burdensome because pOfgae administration wanted to

minority believe the time has yet when bill

In the minority "a tax increase OF this mag

threaten the liquidation the middle America, discourage maxi
production for the effort and undermine the ability of private
enterprise provide jobs the postwar period for the tens of millions of
persons temporarily engaged activities the battle fronts and

MOREOVER Republican members the committee concluded:
M "The time henceoh the administration instead of

I Individual income tax-under the bill as
i reported, the individual income tax bur-
den is left unchanged except for such Incl
dental increases or decreases vas may result
from the Indignation of the present victory tax
with the regular income tax.
The freezing of the individual income tax
rates and exemptions at the existing level is in
accord with the position taken by the Repub-
hcan minority at the outset of the committees
deliberations, when we publicly announced that
we were opposed to further increases in the
personal income tax.
