The maximum jred't allov/ed would be $25 for a 'j ■)inl return and $12.50 for an ! individual tax return. ThiB sec- ! tion also provides that, instead ! of the tax credit, a taxpayer may > take a deduction for the full a- j mount of political contrthution.s, . n t to ex-eed $30 for tan individ- i ual r Sl'^O f- r a counle. The po- 1 Utical contrilbution Pm which a 1 tax credit or a deduction is claim- led can be to a candidate for e- I lection to a Federal, state, or I local orfi.-e, or to a p-Mtical com- t mittee. This new section of the ' Tax Cade should emcourvige more meaningful Individual participa tion in the financing of election campaigns. The campaign financing pro- visbns, however, are only a small part of jthis important tax measure. Other sections provide for the repeal of the seven per- '*ent ex .se tax on ajittomobl’es and light tru:.ks, the reinstate ment of the seven percent in vestment lax credit, and in creases in the personal income tax exemption to $575 for 1971 ind $750 and 1972 and s.bse- ^uent years. Wage and Price Control Au thority: Another important seg ment of the economic package retiuesled by the President the authority to impose waige and price controls. This Act, passed by the Congress last year, will expire on April 30, 1972. The bill now before Congress would ex tend the act for one year, until April 30, 1973. This measure has been passed in different version.s by both the House and Senate, and final details remain to be re solved in a conference,committee. Now the 90-day freeze on wag es, prices, and rents is over and the nation is embarked on Phase II of the economic stabilization program. Many restrictions have .Acen lifted and exemptions grant-1 ed by the Pay Board and the Price Commission. However, in order to achieve the long-rau^e goal of the reduction and event ual elimination of inflation, it is | felt by the Administration and j by the Congress that so-me de gree of economic control will need to be exercised through out the coming year. I feel that this year has ocen a landmark in the development of the U. S. economy. The aptions of the President and the Con gress in formulating 'these new policies have been a great con- trilb. tion to this development. Cdiiaua become the world leader in paper procT.’ction.
