Anthracite Tax Fight Prompts Senate Clash In Harrisburg
In Harrisburg on April 10 1929 the Senate anthracite bloc prepared a vigorous stand for relief either by immediate repeal via the Jones bill or gradual repeal via the Heaton bill. The gasoline tax four cent levy for a year looms as a leverage in the dispute with repeal proponents planning to force reconsideration after the finance committee postponed action on Heaton. The House delayed action as printers held up bills while measures including the Pittsburgh Metropolitan District bill and the Marcus legislation faced final action. The Senate also moved to curb crime by sending the Crimes Commission bill back to committee after a late session.

Dawes Selected for British Post carves path to party unity
The choice of General Dawes for the British post signals a restored Republican harmony after a bitter nomination struggle. Dawes, a passive Hoover nominee, drew praise as a fortunate political pick, with speculation it might have favored him earlier. Paris ambassadorship remains open with Udge Gibson Davis and others mentioned. Gibson cites private funds as a hurdle. Edge’s candidacy would trigger a New Jersey Senate vacancy amid tight politics.

Legislature action on four cent gasoline tax measures stalled
In Harrisburg on April 10 the Senate, after honoring former presiding officer E. J. Beidleman, moved slowly through printed bills while delaying many others. Bills from committees, including road and fish and game measures, faced final action later, with a looming 4 million highway fund increase and exemptions for small trucks debated amid ongoing motor code issues. House actions followed, passing several appropriation bills and measures to restrain state clerks, while tributes honored Beidleman and a moment of silence marked his memory.
