Legislature Turns Attention To Luxury Taxes Plan
The Pennsylvania legislature moved to consider a one cent tax on every ten cigarettes to fund unemployment relief. Plans to tax soft drinks and cosmetics were dropped for now, with temporary shifts toward Nosury taxes and transfers from the motor fund debated by House members and Rep. Witkin and Rep. Blumberg. In Madrid and Seville, Spain, monarchist forces moved against the Republic, killing several and prompting government action to quell the uprising as authorities arrested many conspirators.
