Hoover Plan Lag Is Costly To Families In Haywood Lack of vigorous action, econ omy-tt ise, on the part of Congress and the Administration is costing -j families in Haywood County an : estimated $782,000 a year in need- ' less taxes. The figure is based on the local ! level of income, on previous tax ' payments and on a report prepared 1 by the U. S. Chamber of Com merce to show the financial savings that would result from applica- i tion of the Hoover Commission proposals. A growing feeling is apparent ! in the average citizen that he is being deprived of something. He i has heard and read of the work 1 of the Hoover Commission, wHich ; labored objectively for two years to determine what improvements, if any, could be made in the func the Rock Hill museum and once contributed 20 cents to it in an effort to repay as far as he was able the institution for the en joyment it gave him. as far as he was able. Honing of Federal bureaus and activities. The commission, he knows, studied every phase of Govern ment and came up with many dis coveries of strange and costly wastefulness. It culminated its Work with 314 recommendations lo Congress. If put into effect, ac cording to the experts, they would have saved the taxpayers over five billion dollars a year. Only a small fraction of them have been acted upon, however. Who would have benefited chief ly from these efficiency measures, the people with large incomes or those with modest earnings? The answer is the latter group. More than 75 percent of personal in- j con# tax revenues come from peo-1 ! pie earning under ?6,000 a year. ; In Haywood County, H is esti mated. the tax saving would have 1 come to $80 per family. All told, it ! would have amounted to $782,000. This is real money that would have been available to local fam ilies for actual spending.
