Chairman George (D-Ga.) of the finance committee advocated a withholding tax of from 5 to 10 per cent on all wages, salaries nnd dividends, while Representative Gore (D-Tenn.) came forth with a bill 'to deduct a percentage every wage, beginning with 6 per cent in the unmarried class and ranging upward.

The Gore Bill Proposals. The Gore bill, which provides that the money deducted be used to purchase war bonds for the em- ploye, would set up the following scale in the lower brackets: of to single 6 per cent; married, none. Weekly wage of $30 to $40: single, $1.80 plus 7 per cent of amount over $30; married, 7 per cent of amount over $30. Weekly wage of $40 to $50: single, plus 8 per cent of amount over $40; married, $.70 plus 8 per cent of amount over $10. Weekly wage of $50 to $60: single, $3.30 plus 9 per cent of amount over $50; married, $1.50 plus 9 per cent of amount over $50.

Weekly wage of $60 to $70: single, $4.20 plus 10 per cent of amount over $60; married, $2.50 plus 10 per cent of amount $60.

That was the limit favored by President Roosevelt in his recent share-thc-war speech. Against Lowered Exemptions. Senator George's 5-to-10 per cent withholding tax plan was offered as an alternative to the treaury's proposal to obtain $1,100,000,000 in r.cw revenues by lowering income tax exemeptlons.

Asserting that the treasury plan would place a "terrific burden" on the low income groups, George predicted that congress would be forced to turn instead to some new form of taxation such as a withholding or sales levy. Of the two he said he preferred a withholding tax. In a surprise move last week, the treasury proposed to the house ways and means committee that exemptions for single persons be lowered from $750 to $600 and for married persons from $1,500 to $1,200, The $400 credit for each dependent, would be reduced to George said that a 5 per cent withholding tax, collected at would produce about $2,500 000,000. As he explained it, the tax would be deducted by employers and forwarded to the government, the same as the social security tax is now -taken out of pay checks. The George plan was reported to have considerable backing among members weil as senators.
