Senate debates cotton schedule and income tax costs
Supporters of free thread duties argue the revenue from sewing thread is small and lowers living costs. Estimates put annual revenue at about 225000 dollars, and thread is added to the free list while other cotton amendments pass. An amendment removing a 30 percent duty on certain embellished goods leaves duties on yarn content. Senator Simmons expects caucus approval soon as finance committee weighs the measure, with an income tax collection cost projected at 1200000 dollars annually.
