Truman Asks For Excise Cuts, Plug ing Of Loopholes
Monday January p. 1850
By Francis M. LeMay

WASHINGTON, (P)-President Truman sent congress a tax pro- gram today calling for a cut in excise or "sales" levies, plugging of loopholes, and a billion-dollar boost in taxes on corporations, es tate and big gifts.
 In special message, MT. Tru- man did not say specifically how much red tion he thought should be made in the excise tax es. But he said cuts are "moSt urgently needed'' in the taxes on freight, railroad and bus tickets, long distance telephone and tele- graph bills and the entire group of retail excises, including such items as toilet preparations, lug gage and handbags"
 While the president used no figures, some congress members said they understood the treasury which will give detailed recom- mendations to congressional com mittees later-Would suggest a cut from 20 to 10 per cent in the re- tail tax on such things as cosmet- icS luggage and handbags.
 MT. Truman did specify that these taxes should be cut "only to the extent that the loss in rev. enue can be recouped by elimina- ting the tax loopholes which now permit some groups to escape their fair share of taxation"
 He said the biggest "loophole" is "the excessive depletion exemp- tions now enjoyed by oil and min ing interests" adding:
 Under these exemptions, large percentages of the income from oil wells are permitted, after de- ducting all costs of doing business, to exclude from taxation on ac- count of depletion as much as half their net income"
 AS to business, the president 
 "A moderate increase" in the tax rate applicable "to that part of a corporations income which is in excess of $5O,0OO."
 At the same time he recommen- ded that the tax rate on corporate income between $25,OOO and $5O,- 900 which is now taxed ''at the high notch rate of 53 per cent, be reduced to the same rate as applies above S50,- 900.
 The message avoided many de- tails in the proposed tax legisla- tion, leaving this to be filled in

Disease Attacks Lima

of Milton.
"The earliest report of dOwny
mildew on lima beans in previous
years." says Heuberger, was mid
August. It's appearance at this time
is probably explained by recent
cool, wet weather.
"If present weather conditions
prevail during the next few weeks"
he continues, this disease could
cause serious losses to lima bean
growers. For this reason, all grow
ers are urged to watch theirf fields
closely, and to start busting at the
first report of the disease in their
area"
Research at the Delaware Agri-
cultural Experiment Station has
shown that a fixed copper dust,
correctly applied, will do much to
control this disease. Dusts con-
tanning SO per cent copper have
given best results. Applications,
Heuberger says, should be made
with a ground duster for good COW
erage on the undeTsides of plants
and low hanging pods. Dusts
should be applied at weekly inter
walls during the cool, wet weather
and every ten days in drier per-
iOds.
