"The enemy defenses were
so neutralized in the initial

EAST TEXAS TAX
DIRECTOR RETURNS
FROM NATIONAL MEET
Longview, Tex.—A Federal
tax policyJiat will leave both
businesses and individuals
strong enough to weather the
postwar adjustment period is
the aim of state and regional
chambers of commerce, the
U. S. Chamber, and the Na-
tional Manufacturers Associa-
tion, according to Curtis Mor-
ris, tax director of the East
Texas Chamber, who has just
returned from a series of meet
ings o'f these gronps in Chica-
go.
The present Federal income
tax will permit taking as much
as 80 per cent of an organized
business’ net income in a year.
Opinion expressed at the Chi-
cago conference held that bus-
inesses even at these present
rates were being put to severe
financial strain.
Social security taxes, the 20
per cent withholding for in-
come tax, and 10 per cent de-
ductions for war bond pur-
chases are taking a deep cut
from individual pay envelopes.
To add to this load, what with
living costs rising, is to work
hardship on many families,
particularly those white collar
worker families that have had
little increase in income.
Technical corrections in the
present Federal Revenne Act
were discussed at length at
the Chicago meetings.
A joint steering committee
was authorized at Chicago to
speak for the state and region-
al chambers, the U. S. Cham-
ber, and the NAM. Thus there
will be a united voice speak-
ing on behalf of business be-
fore the Congress this session
as a new revenue act is consid-
ered.
Details of the program of
organized business on Federal
fiscal policy are not yet avail-
able for publication. However,
in a series of conferences In its
territory the East Texas Cham-
ber plans to discuss these de-
tails with its members.
