Revenue Bill Passed by House in 206 to 81 Vote
The House approved the revenue bill from the ways and means committee by 206 to 81 after debate. Dingley argued the measure provides emergency revenue for two and a half years funded by imports, with bonds and small-denomination certificates to meet temporary Treasury deficits. Critics argued it masks tariff policy and shifts away from a broad tariff revision.
