Sixty-Eighth Congress Faces Turmoil and Reforms
The Sixty-Eighth Congress ends amid upheaval and achievements. Major acts include a tax reduction measure benefiting middle incomes and a series of investigations into justice, veterans affairs, shipping, aircraft, and oil. Notable events include the dismissal of Attorney General Daugherty and the indictments and convictions tied to naval oil reserves and hospital contracts. The La Follette insurgents push for House rules liberalization, while Coolidge faces mixed political currents. The short session yields key laws on soldiers’ bonuses, immigration restrictions, child labor, veterans affairs, diplomacy, coast guard cooperation, and inland waterways development, with debt settlements ratified.
