Be Bound to Hit Someone
The praposed State income tax
of one-half of one per cent which
Governor Fine has suggested as a)
principal source of the additional
revenue which he estimates the
State will require during the next
blennium, faces the prospect of a
stiff Nght in the General Assembly,
judging from the comments made
by individual legislators. So: does
any alternative tax measurk that
hits directly at the pocketbook of
a public rapidly becoming tax con-
scious as a result of an impending
Federal tax hike and the possibil-
ity In. some municipalitigs of an-
other local boost being just around
the corner.
Strongest opposition to a State
{income tax may be expected from
several quarters. One big objection
results from the mandate in the
Pennsylvania Constitution direc.
ting all taxes to be uniform. This
mandate prevents any exemption
in a State tax. It must apply to
every incgme no matter how small,
The Pederal tax exempts individu
al incomes up to $700. Its system
of exemptions lor dependents also
eliminates from payment of any
tax, thousands who would be liable
for a State tax. For Instance, a
person with two or more exemp-
tions does not pay a Federal tax
