Thus is jn sharp- contrast to the pre World War II period when the Fed eral government received less thnn 40 cents' of each tax dollar. The peak Federal share 80 cents of each tax dollar came during the war. ; - The new Foundation volume con tains, in addition to tax data, ex tensive Selections on the U.
