Truman Signs Bill
: WASHINGTON, Oct- 20 -(Jff- President Truman signed the new
15.691,000,000 tai increase Mil today, making sure that higher taxes
, on income and many purchases will go into effect November 1.
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. A single person
- whorpaid $488 on his income of
"$3000 (before personal exemp
tion) will owe $542. The tax for
a married couple with two chil
dren and an S8000 income will
-rise from $1152 to $1282.
4 Persons in the higher income
brackets have the option of pay
ing an additional tax or 9 per
cent or uieir income left over
after -payment of the tax at cur
: rent rates. This alternate becomes
t of ; advantage to single persons
i with -income of $28,000 or more.
- .and married couples receiving
1 $57,600 or more.
Optional Plan
r. Single persons who actually are
heads of households will be al
. Jewed one half the fax advantage
j'enioyed by married couples as a
-result of their income splitting
