Should it improve te the degree contemplate tray the President in his report to Congress, incomes would rje and tax receipts would go u proportionately. The other "if" concerns tax reduction. The present opin ion in Washington Is that there will be sonJe sort of a cut - not as largo as wt$ rec ommended - but that it will not be effective until 1964. At any rate, the Kennedy budget for the corifing fiscal year calls for personal incme taxes of $49.3 billion, or $4.3 billion more than this year. On that basis, if Jackson county continues carrying its present share of the nation's tax burden, its payments next year will have to be 9.5 per cent larger than they are now.
