WHAT IT WILL COST

Under the new tax bill which the President signed this week, U.S. income taxes are raised about 50%, from $2,223,300,000 to $3,367,900,000. The new burden falls most heavily on people with incomes under $15,000, who will pay from two to eight times as much next year as they paid in 1941. What a married couple without dependents will have to pay next year, as compared with this:
