Congress May Extend Session Through Summer
Washington reports that the House Ways and Means Committee will push a tariff and revenue bill this session. The measure consolidates the tariff commission, income tax revisions, stamp tax repeal, and heavy chemical taxes for dyestuffs. Republicans face a choice to back Democratic tariff policies or oppose the tariff commission, with passage not expected before May and likely into late summer. Harnett County political sentiment supports Democratic gains. Godwin praised McLemore vote as Wilson victory and plans to return to Washington for Monday’s session. Small and Houston head to Norfolk for a Pewter Platter banquet with Small as toastmaster.
