Senate Income Tax Plan Faces Republican Discord
Senators consulted colleagues but plan was repudiated by Republicans and Progressives. Aldrich met with Republican leaders opposed to the income tax with little success. The Senate will vote tomorrow but a postponement motion is likely as most Republicans favor delay. Bailey may protest the delay amid expected debate on the amendment. Aldrich is not expected to move to refer it to the judiciary committee, leaving it for further conference among Republican factions.
