TAX BILL
tContinued From Page One)


was not ready to ADMIT that a
veto is inevitable.
Taft declared that even if bust
ness drops below it's present vol
ume, there would be an $8,OOO, O0o'
900 surplus in the treasury in the
fiscal year beginning July l with
out a tax cut. He said that left
''plenty's for debt reduction.
Here are the cuts set up in
the bill, on a full years basis:
Thirty per cent off for taxpayers
with net incomes (after exemptions
and deductions) of $1,000 or less
Twenty to 30 per cent off on in
comes between $1,000 and $1,4Oo'
Twenty per cent off on incomes
from ST. 400 to $13s, 720.
Fifteen per cent off between
$136, 100 and 1902, 400.
Ten and a half per cent off on
all taxable income above 1902, 400.
Because the bill would take ef-
feet at the middle of the calendar
year, the percentage reductions
for calendar 1947 would be cut in
half. Thus, a nan slated to get a
20 per cent cut would receive only
10 per cent off this year, although
the full 20 per cent would be effec-
tive in 1913.
The bill provides an extra $500
personal exemption for taxpayers
over IS years of age.
