6A those families earning between $20,000 and $60,000 a year. That goal protecting the interests of the middle class has been a favorite with Gephardt since the beginning of his involvement in tax reform and he preached it, with moderate success, when the House wrote its bill. He contends that too many policymakers fix their sights on a low maximum tax rate for individuals instead of the real issue how much of a reduction the various classes of taxpayers will receive. A low rate, he reminds people, does not ensure tax relief if loopholes for corporations, the wealthy and special interests remain unplugged. An average taxpayer earning between $30,000 and $40,000 would receive a 5 percent cut in the Senate bill, roughly $129, compared with 9 percent in the House bill, or $301.

Individuals making $200,000 or more would get a 4.7 percent cut in the Senate bill and a 5.9 percent cut in the House bill.

Joseph man was reportedly assaulted with a club at a party in the 2500 block of Jule Street early Sunday. The man was struck during a disturbance that occurred after From page Gephardt veloped the proposal, called Bradley the "godfather" of tax reform. The scene was vastly different in the House, where Ways and Means Chairman Rep. Dan Ros-tenkowski, grabbed the issue, the spotlight and the publicity on tax reform last year after Reagan made it his top legislative goal. "I think you really have to be very broad in trying to identify all the people and groups that have been instrumental in making this historic thing happen," says Gephardt.

"Frankly, when all is said and done, I doubt that anybody's name is going to go down in history. But I think what will go down in history is whether or not we did this well." To that end, Gephardt says House Democrats have a big task ahead in trying to forge a compromise tax bill with the Senate that provides greater tax relief for middle income families Resident 14 in the two group homes who does not work at the Sheltered Workshop.
