Nobody Escapes Taxes" Association
Says; Notes Jump in Number
of Income taxpayers in 40 Years

In less than 40 years since
the beginning of the indlV1d.
ual income tax, the number OF
Montana people sending IN fed
eral income tax returns jumped
from 1,243 to 205,325, it was dis
closed recently by the Montana
Taxpayers association.
"This is Just one more indi-
cation that nobody escapes tag
es," r. A. Neill, secretary OF the
association, stated. ""The Few
families which aren't hit by
the individual income tax are
raped just as hard or harder
by other taxes, many OF them
hidden. Citizens of Montana
must pay $3.50, 700,0 900 as our
share of the tax burden in fis-
cal 1885,"
Neill pointed out that since
the first federal income tax law
law was passed in 1913, the
minimum rate of the individual
income tax has jumped from l
to 22.2 per cent, while the max
imum rate has gone from Z per
cent to 90 per cent. In the same
period the individual exemption
has shrunk to one-tenth of
what it was: from $4,000 at 1913
values to 5000 at 1852 values.
The number of individuals in
the U. S. subject to income tax
es has rised from less than
400, 1000 to SIS million.
I'm the next fiscal year, the
federal government will take
from it's citizens the fantastic
sum of ST. billion" the spokeS-
man for the taxpayer associa-
ton said. ION a per capita has
is, the federal government will
soon be collecting $472 for every
person in the nation"
Even with this heavy tax
burden, the federal government
expects a deficit of So billion
this year and $14.5 billion in
fiscal 1858.
There is no magic way to
eliminate the tax burden that
is driving us into the ground.
The only way to cut taxes is
to cut spending. That's why the
Montana Taxpayers association
and 35 other state taxpayer
groups are demanding that
Congress slash the proposed
budget for fiscal 1858. The very
least we can do is balance the
budget with no tax increase to
keep the projected deficit from
bringing more inflationary price
rises"
He recommended severe re-
auctions in all peacetime spend
ing programs not necessary for
defense. He pointed out also
that Congressional committees
recently have turned up num-
erous examples of military
waste, indicating that military
and foreign aid spending are
far from sacroSanct when it
comes to budget cutting"
