That the general statutes be amended to replace the flat seven and one-half per cent corporate income tax with progressive rates as follows: Net corporate income of less than two hundred thousand dollars would be taxed at five per cent, net corporate income of two hundred thousand dollars to one million dollars at seven and one-half per cent and net corporate income over one million dollars at ten per cent.
