Internal Taxes Bill Sparks House Committee Fight Over Revenue Plan

In Washington on March 6 the Democratic majority on the Ways and Means Committee submitted an interval revenue bill to the full committee. Republicans denounced the plan and protested consolidating tariff and revenue measures, urging hearings for manufacturers and producers. The meeting adjourned with Section 11 and 14 errors noted, and the panel expects to begin debate by sections tomorrow. The bill aims to cut tobacco and privilege taxes, reduce prosecutions, and remove vexatious features, though total repeal of internal revenue is deemed impossible due to a large annual surplus.
