House Democrats Back Emergency Tax Extension to 1916
Washington December 15 House Democrats in caucus agreed to extend the present emergency tax until December 31, 1916 or for one year. The measure will be introduced tomorrow and likely voted on Thursday with hopes of adoption by Saturday before Christmas recess. Only two of 150 Democrats opposed binding rules Representatives Keating and Calloway promised constituents to resist continuance. Majority Leader Kitchin warned floor members to act decisively to avoid danger. He noted the extension does not guarantee tax collection for the full period and depends on future revenue legislation and tariff policy on sugar. The measure currently nets 6 million to 1 million monthly while in effect.
