Free Sugar Plan Moves To Boost Revenues In Congress
Washington March 15 The Democratic House moves to tax income over 5000 and end raw sugar duties, aiming to cut consumer costs by up to 100 million annually while raising 60 million from the income tax and 50 million from sugar duties. Allies hail the measure as constructive statesmanship, while critics warn of sugar industry harm in Louisiana and Colorado. Meanwhile a search party tracks Deputy Sheriffs Colim McKenzie and Al Elmer feared murdered near Wynoochie in the Oxbow country as John Tornow is sought for the Bauer twins killings.
