Possibility for a General Revenue Measure Is Fading
In Washington on December 28, House Democrats admitted the chance of passing a general revenue bill was fading. They noted President Elect Roosevelt’s opposition to a sales tax had quelled push for that impost. Leaders faced no concrete plan but eyed other revenue sources as Rainey saw little prospect of major revision. The gasoline excise tax and beer taxes were viewed as the likely options. Collier postponed his budget balancing session to January 4, saying no special significance attached to the delay.
