Arkansas Tax Bill Faces Senate Vote and 1936 Referendum
Mory Thompson proposes an income tax measure that passed the House but lacks the three fourths needed for immediate enforcement. If approved by the Senate, it would go to the people in 1936.

The piece cites Arkansas’ tax-payer burden and delayed federal tax effects, noting relief needs and school funding while highlighting local business impacts and teacher warrants.
