Revenue Modifications Prepare for House Passage
Special dispatch from Wasuiscox reports the Ways and Means sub committee has finished work on the internal revenue bill. Section 8 is struck out and new rules on registration forms are proposed. The bill aims to reduce revenue by about 2.25 million but officials expect overall revenue to rise due to an earlier year increase. Carlisle expects quick House approval with party factions already aligning ahead of Cincinnati conventions.
