Higher Income Tax

economic gAowth during the
present year to produce still
higher revenue in 1858. The new
budget contemplates a personal
income rise from the current
1925 billion level to $340 billion.
If residents of Geauga County
realize an increase equal to
that average, about 6 percent,
they will have proportionateIy
larger income taxes to pay,
come April Is, 1858.
The Presidents huge budget,
which has provoked strong COM
ment in all parts of the coun-
try, calls for the collection Of
a record $50 billion from bus
mess corporations, from indiv-
iduals and from other sources.
1t also provides for spending
some $83 billion of it, about
half of which will go for nat
ional defense.
The present mood of Con-
greSS, aroused by the public
outcry, is to try to cut it down
by several billion dollars. The
