Senate Passes War Revenue Bill After Lively Session
The Senate approved the war revenue bill without a record vote, raising about 6 billion dollars in 1919 and 4 billion for the following year, despite La Follette’s bid to boost taxes. He spoke nearly three hours in his first address in a year and the chamber adjourned after a 13 hour session. A bonus for discharged service members was approved, and semi luxury taxes were adjusted. The bill now moves to the House with enactment expected next month. Also, the Supreme Court ruled sections of the La Follette seamen's act unconstitutional regarding paying foreign sailors, while other provisions for American sailors remain valid. The decision came in the case John Dillon v. Strothers Steamship Co.
