Tax Bill Moves Through House Amid Tax Hikes And Debate
The revenue bill aims to raise 1.8 billion dollars next year with wide new taxes. It passed the House 329 to 76, mostly Republican opposition, and faces Senate redrafting amid hearings and anticipated changes. Opposition centers on excess profits income, and second class mail rate increases. President Wilson signals no desire for major changes, urging support as the nation bears war costs.
