New Streamlined Measure 1b Expected To Be Pawed Quickly Washington, May 4th. — Chairman Daughtons(D-Nfl&of the Ways and Means Committee, Wednesday called on the House for unanimous approval of legislation to simplify and streamline income tax laws for 60,000,000 taxpayers. Both Republicans and Democrats in the House conceded the measure, which went into two days of debate Wednesday, would pass overwhelming Friday. "Ifs too popular with the people for it to have-much opposition," Mr. Doughton said. Representative Knutson (R-Minn) Ways and Means leader, declared "it should paas without a vote against it" lie measure is designed to relieve 80,000,000 taxpayers from the neceslity of ever computing another tax return; by adjustment of the withholding levy to take the full tax'lability from the wagea and salaries of persons earning $6,000 or less a year. It also would provide simplified procedures for the 20,000,000 who still would have to file returns. ' < > In his speech, prepared for Qie opening of the debate, Doughton* said he does not "share the fears" that a flat deduction of 1ft per cent of income for the new computation of the withholding levy—in lieu of contributions, other taxes and interest paid —would have an adverse effect on taxpayers' contributions to charitable! organizations.
