- Description:
- The document is a series of correspondence between George B. Schwabe, a congressman, and E. E. Battles, president of the Oklahoma Education Association, regarding a proposed amendment to the Internal Revenue Code that would exempt school teachers' benefits under the new Retirement Act from federal income taxes. Schwabe expresses his support for the amendment and promises to introduce a bill to address the discrimination against teachers in the current law. Battles highlights the financial burden faced by retired public employees and the need for a non-discriminatory amendment to provide tax exemptions for all aged taxpayers. Schwabe assures Battles of his personal commitment to supporting the legislation.
