The 1932 revenue act, signed on
June 6 bv President Hoover and de
signed to raise a total of *3,261,500,
300 to meet the government’s ex
penses in the 1933 fiscal year, puts
most of the new levies in force at
(hat time.
Nearly every citizen, from five and
ten cent store girl clerks to the mul
ti-millionaire, will start contributing
to the increased levies.
They apply to a long list Of arti
cles and products, ranging from
candies, chewing gum and electric
light bills to automobiles and con
veyances of property. The wealthy
will be the hardest hit because they
purchase more of the articles taxed
and because of increased levies on
income in the higher brackets.
The largest part of the new duties
will be upon articles not taxed since
war days. The manufacturer will
pay the tax but In a number of
cases will pass the cost along to the
ultimate purchaser. These levies are
designed to raise *457,000,600 in re
venue.
Income Taxes Higher
The new income taxes are as
high as those paid in 1921 with the
normal rates at 4 per cent and 9
percent and the exemptions cut to
$2,500 for a married person and $1,
080 for a single person.
The bill eliminates the earned in
come credit which has been altowed
for several years. The surtax rates
start at 1 per cent in excess of $6 -
800 and increased to 55 per cent on
incomes of more than $1,000,000,

The higher rates are expected to

Miscellaneous and stamp taxes
will add $197,500,000 to the nation's
tax bill while increased postal re
venue will bring in $160,000,000. Ad
ministration changes and limitation
on security losses account for the re
mainder of the $1,118,500,000.
Part of the levies do not become
effective on Tuesday, including the
increase in first class postage from
two to three cents, which begins
July 6; the second class postal rates
on July 1, the tax on boats July 1.
the increased income and corpora

$50-Bil! Plan Is
Cross-Word Teaser
To Local Citizens1
I -
Assistant Secretary Of Treasury
Puzzled Over It. Brisbane Writes
About It.
The ' depression cure," or $50-bil] i
plan, worked out by a couple of I
Shelby men has hundreds of people
f iguring on It and trying to find the j
! flaws, if any. No proposal of simi
lar type has ever had as many peo-1
1 pie so interested in studying it,
j The plan, as all recall, is to give
■ every person in the country $50 in 1
"fiat” money in order to give an im-j
mediate boost to business. A stamp
arangement, would be provided j
whereby the spending of each dollar j
would necessitate the purchase and >
use of a three-cent stamp, which
| after the money had been in circu
j lation for a designated period of
I time would repay the government
(for the money. The basic and more
permanent relief idea is that the
spending of the $50 by each person
would so stimulate buying in all
commodities that plants would
start operating again to fill the de
mand and thus relieve the unem
ployment situation.
That, of course, is only a brief
summary of the plan, which has
been more fully elucidated hereto
fore. But the idea is that hours of
figuring and theoretical work by
, hundreds of people have failed to
j bring out any serious f laws. Along
i the streets in Shelby, in business
houses and private homes hundreds
figure on it every day. And the fig
uring has spread to other sections
and States. Copies of tire plan were:
widely distributed and have brought
replies from Arthur Brisbane and,
others. One of the originators of the j
idea was in Wsjshingtnn recently .j
and while there was asked about it,
by one of the assistant secretaries
of the United States Treasury’- When
it. was explained to him the secre
tary said: “It sounds so simple
j that there must be some flaw or de- j
feet to it, yet I must admit that l1
cannot see what, Is wrong with it j
now.” Several hours later after de
voting his thought to It he added
that, he could not find its weakness,
if it has any.
Newspapers al lover the country
have carried the details of the plan,
(some in a, humorous manner, and it
| is impossible to estimate how many
i thousands of people have been in
jtrigued by it and impressed by what
• they believe to be its plausibility.

In a letter from the White House,

The Gastonia Gazette ^ditor who
has read The Star's article, says he
can find nothing wrong with the
plan. It says: .■*
“So far, we have seen no one who
could find any fault with the plan
evolved by a Shelby man or men
to end the depression and to put
money into circulation again.
“The plan looks to be simple and
easy pnough on the face of it. We
would like to have some discus
