Income tax resolve passes House amid debated substitutes
The House approved an income tax resolution by 205 to 7, substituting the Senate version. Lomasney led the opposition, Gilman moved the substitute, and Speaker Cushing called it a major issue. The measure is expected to go to the Senate, backed by its supporters. The Senate also passed an anti injunction bill 20 to 14, criticized as disgraceful, while a separate measure attacking IWW law violations drew strong rhetoric. The city may pay $100 monthly for life to Inspector Norton’s widow if approved. Two tax bills were rejected in the House.
