Pact Lets Pennsylvania move on 90 million relief plan
After weeks of conflict Governor Pinchot and Republican leaders reach a surprise compromise on a 90 million relief program for the unemployed and poor. The deal hinges on a 1.24 per barrel beer tax and a 25 million bond issue, with federal matching possible if the bond passes. The Einstein bill tax shift is accepted in part, and revenue estimates include 8 million from bank taxes and 10 million from beer, plus 4 million from budget economies. A 4 million rider shields the general fund if the bond fails.
