The Senate debated a large tobacco tax aimed at increasing revenue by about 10 million dollars annually, with opposition arguing it hits independent tobacco users. Amendments sliced 6 cents per pound on grower tobacco and shifted emphasis to tax reforms, while tariff provisions expanded duties on oil, steel, nickel steel, and chemicals. Senator Aldrich steered the tax package amid procedural volleys and partisan sparring as leaders argued over the broader tariff and revenue plan.
