At the same time, he took a slap at provisions in the law which he ' aaid give wealthy persons new chances for escaping their share of the tax land - He said in a statement announc ing fee signing that the $5,691,- 000.806 4s not enough. But he did fiet say 4n so many words that he would ask congress for more when it comes back in January. He did say he would ask for "legislation ' Improving our tax laws." Mr. Truman said he signed the bill, and "knew that many in con gress, voted for it, not because it is a good bill but because "we bad- ly need these revenues to help pay for the - strong defenses we are building. The .president had asked for $10,000,000,000. . - His mention of a need for Im eraroving the tax laws referred in part at least. to ine suuauon ne described as follows: This legislation does little to - close the loopholes in present tax laws, and in some respects pro vides additional means by which wealthy individuals can escape paying their-proper share of the national tax load through such devices as excessively liberal 'capital gains', provision, family partnerships, and excessive deple--- tion allowances on oil and gas and certain minerals properties. " ; The -measure on which congress completed action yesterday pro vides for individual income tax boosts -ranging between 11 and 12 per cent for most . taxpayers, ef fective November 1; excise (sales) tax increases on a ' long list of items including liquor, gasoline .and household appliances; bigger " taxes on corporations and various other changes. i like the new Individual income , tax -rates, the higher excises-be-' come operative November 1 be ' 'cause: the president acted before " ; Sunday midnight deadline. If he had waited until Monday or later; "the excise rates would not "have "become effective until De- icember 1, thus depriving the gov ernment of an estimated $100,000, 000 to- $120,000,000 in additional revenue. :' --"-,. i - Over a full year's operation, .Tegirning next year, the tax for most individuals will be about ,;114 per cent above their obliga ,tions for 1950.
