Chamber Of Commerce
Sees 68 Million More
Added To BurdensOme
Load By Bill In Senate.

Nearly $68.OOO,OOO in additional
taxes would have TO paid annually
by Delaware taxpayers in federal
taxes under the new $500. 900 900
tax measure, now being considered
in the T. S. Senate, the Delaware
Chamber OF Commerce. said this
week.
This is in addition TO the present
federal taxes, which for the year
ending June 80, 1851, resulted in
payment of S566.957, ,1O1 from Della
ware taxpayers.
Should the proposed new tax bill
pass, the people Of Delaware "are
justified in viewing this new tax
burden as the price they are being
made to pay to subsidize the con-
tinuanca' Of excessive and wasteful
spending by the federal govern
ment." the chamber said.
The State Chamber continued:
Congress has already passed twC
bills within the year imposing
large $ax increases on businesses
and individuals Delaware paid
over One-half billion dollars in
these taxes. Any further increase
in taxes at this time, added to our
latest and still undigested tax leg
islatiOn. could have a very dis
cOuraging effect on many business
enterprises.
