Cowles Pushes Tobacco Tax Abolition To Appropriations
Washington debates a Cowles bill to remove tobacco taxes and liquor licenses, moving from Ways and Means to Appropriations. The measure gains 129 to 91 support as Cowles argues it reduces hardship and cites Mills bill parallels while Randall signals House Senate tension. Col Oates in Alabama advocates studying but not proposing a constitutional race suffrage amendment, warning of negro enfranchisement consequences and urging cautious immigration reform.
