Anti-Pinchot Forces Jump On Governor In Harrisburg
In Harrisburg on January 27 anti Pinchot forces moved to curb the governor with a flurry of bills. Senators Boys Montgomery Parkinson and Greene seek to cut motor license fees from 2 to 1 50 and trim light car registration from 10 to 5. A Boyd resolution would cap the gasoline tax at three cents a gallon this session. Scott would permit toll bridges funded by motor licenses. Proposals for old age pensions and other measures also appear. The House passed a Turner resolution backing Senator Davis as properly elected and sent it to the Senate for today. Bills include bonds for veterans, investment rules for building societies, motor license fund use for township rewards, repeal of the 1919 Sedition Act, scholarships for soldiers’ children, and a whipping post with lashes for various crimes.
