legislative interim panel debates suffrage and tax shifts
Interim committees discussed constitutional amendments to sanction women’s suffrage and shift poll tax payment dates from October to June. Gov Sparks opposed granting 25 percent of privilege tax revenue to state welfare programs and urged broader county funding for welfare health and extension services. He supported raising counties’ share of automobile tax revenue and opposed giving 50 percent of income tax to counties, warning revenue would drain the state general fund. The panels adjourned for a week as three groups planned to resume sessions on welfare aviation highways and agriculture. The sun travels at 11 miles per second.
