State Chamber opposes tax program in Harrisburg vote
The State Chamber of Commerce urged defeat of George Thearlo's $208,000,000 tax plan in a decisive Harrisburg ballot. It warned the administration measure would total about $1,000,000,000 in burden on Pennsylvania business and industry, threatening disintegration of the commonwealth's economy and forcing employers to liquidate or relocate. Ernest J. Poole of Reading, chamber president, warned of dire consequences for business and employment, and cited proposed workmen's compensation and pollution bills as further hamstringing factors.
