Change 13 Made In License Clause Of Industry Bill
The text outlines a legislative plan to raise funds via several taxes and fees including a gasoline tax increase to 12 cents per gallon and a re enacted capital stock tax, with administration changes aimed at generating about 15.5 million dollars and overall revenues around 70 to 80 million, to replace the house tax plan. Harrison explains the program targets loopholes in income tax laws exposed by the Morgan inquiry. The committee and a night session seek swift enactment, with Republicans considering a general sales tax as an alternative but Harrison argues his plan avoids controversy and avoids raising income tax rates.
