rates by an average 20 per cent
over two years, starting next
January /.
The first stage Of the cuts
would be reflected In reduced
tax Withholding and quarterly
payments on income earned in
1864, and on 1864 tax returns
filed in 1865.
Under the formula approved
by q 19-to-4 vote, taxes on
single persons would range
from IA per cent on the first
$500 Of taxable income to 70
per cent on income over $780,
900. This compares with the
present range Of 20 per cent
on the first $4,000 Of income
to 81 per cent on income over
5000, 900.
Married couples filing Joint
retirns now pay 20 per cent on
the first $4,000 Of income and
81 per cent on income over
$500, 900. The new rate sched-
ule would tax such couples IA
per cent on the first 81, 900 and
70 per cent on income above
5000, 900.
Rates In intermediate income
brackets would be cut by vary
ing percentages. For example
married couples would be taxed
10 per cent on income between
$4,000 and $4,000, compared
with % per cent under present
law; IS per cent on income
between $4,000 and $4,000,
down from 30 per cent; and So
per cent on income between
$24, 900 and $4,000 down from
43 per cent.
These rates would become
fully effective January !, 1865.
About two-thirds Of the reduc-
tons would take effect next
January /. At that time, rates
would range from is per cent
on the first $1,000 of a mar
ried couples taxable income
$500 for q single person. to-
~ per cent for income over
100000 100000 for q single
person..
Cost to Treasury
Rate cuts for individuals
would cost the Treasury an
estimated sos billion Of reve-
nue. when fully effective. The
total revenue cost Of individual
and corporation rate reduc.
tons was estimated at SILT
billion.
Adding the 1910 million cost
Of the minimum standard de-
duction, the committee voted
yesterday to cut taxes by $12
billion.
Tax reforms and other struc-
tural changes would offset part
of these reductions. The net
tax cut would be $6.5 billion
on 1854 income and SLOT bill
lion on 1865 income.
Although the individual rate
reductions, when fully effec-
tive, would cut taxes by an
average 20 per cent, the reforms
would trim the reduction to
an average 1877 per cent.
The committee approved the
administrators formula for
individual rates after rejectingI
several Republican proposals.
The closest vote, IS to IL, was
on a proposal by Representa-
tive Baker Of Tennessee to
make the 1865 portion of the
tax reductions contingent on
holding down the Federal debt.
Link to Debt
Under Mr.. Bakers plan, the
1865 reductions would be can
celled If the net Federal debt
total debt minus the Treasury's
cash balance - exceeded $304
billion next June 80. He said
this would allow for the fiscal
1864 budget deficit Of about SO
billion now estimated by the
Treasury.
Also rejected were several

The House Ways and Means
Committee, after voting for
about $l2 billion Of tax cuts,
pushed ahead today to clean
up tag ends Of tax reduction
and reform legislation.
Items pending included pro-
posals to speed up corporation

tax payments, eliminate the 4
per cent tax credit on dividend
income. provide q tax break
for companies investing In
plant and equipment. and
change the system for filing
consolidated tax returns by
subsidiary corporations.
The committee voted yester-
day to cut tax rates on indi-
vidual and corporation income,
and to increase tax deductions
In lower income brackets.
Increased Deductions
House action on the tax leg
islation is expected soon after
Labor Day, and administration
forces are. confident Of passing
the bill. They also are hopeful
about prospects in the Senate,
although civil rights debate
complicates the situation.
Besides voting to cut tax
rates yesterday, the Ways and
Means Committee approved an
administration proposal to In
crease tax deductions for low
income taxpayers.
Taxpayers now may itemize
deductions for such expenses as
charitable contributions, State
and local taxes, casualty losses
and interest payments. Or they
may take o standard deduction
Of 10 per cent Of income to a
maximum deduction Of $1,000.
Deductions reduce income SUBJ
ject to tax.
Under the plan approved yes
terday. taxpayers could choose
to take q minimum standard
deduction Of $500 plus 500 for
each dependent, to q maximum
deduction of $1,000.
A single taxpayer thus would
be taxable only on income
above 5000 q year - his $500
personal exemption plus his
$500 standard deduction. With |
the present 10 per cent stand
ard deduction, q single person
is taxable on income above $667. |
Married couples without de-
pendent children now are tax
able on income above 1888.
Under the new plan, they WOULD
be taxable on income above
$1,000 - $1,000 Of personal ex-
emptions plus o $500 minimum
standard deduction.
A married couple with two
children now is taxable on In
come above $2,667. Such Q cou-
pie would be taxable under the
new plan only on income above
$1,000 - $4,000 Of personal ex-
emptions plus q $500 minimum
standard deduction.
The Treasury estimated the
new plan would eliminate Is
million persons from the tax
rolls. More than hall the esti-
mated revenue loss Of 1910
million a year would 60 to bene-
fit those with incomes below
$1,000.
In another action yesterday.
the committee voted to reduce
the corporation tax from So
per cent on earnings above $685.
900 q year to so per cent start
ing next January ] and to 48
per cent January 1, 1865. This
conformed with the admins
tration's revised proposal.
But the committee voted to
give small corporations a
slightly bigger tax cut than the
administration recommended.
Above $4,000

Corporation earnings up to

to q normal tax of 30 per cent,
and earnings above $4,000 are

The administration proposed
TO reduce the normal tax to %

tax at 81 per cent for 1854 and
rs per cent for 1865.
On motion of Representative
Jennings, Democrat Of Virginia,
the committee voted TO cut the
normal tax on the first $25,-
900 to % per cent. The surtax
would be % per cent in 1864
and 26 per cent In 1865.

Featured

Have you ever seen a perfect
ear of corn one with straight
even rows and full kernels out
to the very end Of the ear? You
may say there is no such thing.
But If you do you'll probably get
an argument from DR.. William
H. Mitchell, extension agrono-
mist at the University Of Della
ware. He's just finished check
ing in the entries for the 55th
Delaware Crop Show to be held
in Dover on November 25th. He
reports some of the corn en-
tries we're so near perfect that
1t was difficult to find a blemish
on them.
Mitchell attributes the near
perfect appearance Of many oi
this years samples to the new
single-cross hybrids that are
gaining favor in Delaware. Most
hybrids, he says, are four-way
crosses that Is the crossing
of four inbred lines. The single
cross hybrids result from the
cross-breeding Of only two in
bred parents. Mitchell says this
reduces the chance Of mis-
shapen ears and the lack Of
uniformity that is so common
in many varieties. He credits
some Of these new hybrids, with
their uniform ear size, for many
Of the outstanding yields re-
ported throughout the state. "It
stands to reason that we'll filled,
uniform ears will yield more
total grain per acre than those
that are not well filled"
More than $50 crop exhibits
will be on display at the crop
show in the Capitol Grange Hall
in Dover. In addition to almost

also be exhibited.

THIS Is AN IDEAL TIME of
year for Delaware farmers to
test their soil to determine next
years lime and fertilizer needs.
Farmers having their soils test
ed now will be ahead of the game
because they'll have the entire
winter to plan for next years
program.
Another important reason to
send In soil samples now Is
that the worNoad In the testing
lab at the University of Della
ware is lighter at this time of
year. The soil can be tested
Immediately. Recommendations
are sent hack In plenty of time
for the farmer to contact his
lime and fertilizer dealers. He
can select the material that he
needs, and take advantage of any
early-order fertilizer discounts.
Farmers may visit our county
agent office In Dover, and OBJ
tain soil sample boxes, along
with instructions for taking soil
samples. Once the farmer has
taken samples from the various
fields on his farm, he can return
the samples to me for shipment
to the University of Delaware
Soil Testing aboratory at New
ark, Delaware, or he can mail
samples directly to the lab. This
service is available without
charge to home gardeners as
well as to farmers.
Every year, more people in
Delaware are realizing the i'm
portance Of having their soil
tested. Surveys indicate that far
mers taking soil samples pro-
duce about Is bushels more corn
per acre than farmers not test
ing their soil. In the case of
alfalfa, the yield was three tons
for farmers not testing and 3.9
tons for those having soil test
ed.
Testing soil now provides an
excellent approach to the proper
use Of lime and fertilizer. Time
spent now in having your soil
tested should return big big
profits later.
