Senate Debates Subsidy Motion and Oleomargarine Tax Hearing
In Washington on December 19, the senate moved to take up a resolution appointing Charles A. Boutelie, a retired navy captain, and the measure passed. A western farmers petition urged a general agricultural subsidy, while the agriculture committee held a hearing on increasing oleomargarine taxes, with oleo producers opposing and defenders supporting. In the house, minority obstruction tactics were warned against if time allowed minority amendments. A Gaines clash over Grosvenor remarks referenced the Hermitage and Jackson tomb, prompting GOP groans. An amendment by Richardson would allow railroads to build a passenger station on Pennsylvania Avenue at a cost not less than two million dollars.
