Eight Ways TO Raise
Income Taxes Studied
By Senate Committee
BY the Associated Press

The tax-writing Senate Finance
Committee is studying eight OF
nine methods of raising individual
income taxes, several of them in
volving a deeper bite in the lower
earning brackets.
The committee arranged to meet
again today in its rewriting Job on
the House-passed bill to boost
taxes some $7.2 billion a year.
Many members have expressed
dissatisfaction with the House
formula to obtain $2,847, 900 900
of additional revenue annually by
higher personal income levies.
The 13 Senators took up this
problem first yesterday at their
initial closed-door session to write
another version of the measure
Figures Given Committee.
One Senator told a reporter
that experts from the Treasury
and the Senate House Commit
tee on Taxation yesterday gave
the committee figures on about
eight methods of increasing in
dividual income taxes other than
the one used by the House.
The House adopted plan of
adding 1917 per cent to the sum
paid by each taxpayer under the
present law.
Several Senators contend this
system would pyramid the in
crease in the middle and upper
income brackets. They argue
that lower brackets should be hit
harder as an anti-inf1ationary
measure because the great bulk
OF the spending is concentrated
there.
One of the plans presented to
the Senators yesterday calls for
adopting the Treasury method of
adding {. fixed number of percent
age points to the tax rate in each
income bracket.
Lie treasury asked Tor four
points, but the plan under study
calls for three. There was reported
to be considerable support for it
In the committee.
Examples of Effect.
AS examples of the effect of the
three-percentage plan, it would
bring in $138 a year from a mar
ried man with two dependents
who has $4,000 net income as COM
pared with S135 in the House bill
and $120 in the present law.
1t would collect $598 a year
from a married man with two de-
pendents who has $4,000 net in
come as compared with $585 in
the House bill and $500 in the
present law. Net income is that
subject to tax after deductions.
In the high brackets, the effect
would be the opposite. The three
percentage points plan would
yield less there than the House
bill.
For instance, a married man
with two dependents and $4,000
net income would pay $20.212 un-
der the plan as against $21 ,245
