Mellon Tax Plan Was Not Taken Up
The Senate remained in deadlock on electing a chairman for the Interstate Commerce Committee on the first ballot, the fifteenth deadlock since the issue arose. Republicans reorganized the House and planned to start business, but a Ways and Means meeting to take up the Mellon tax plan ahead of the soldier bonus was canceled. Chairman Green hoped to reconvene, while Democrats blamed delays on insufficient votes for taxing before the bonus. A later plan proposed administrative tax changes to close loopholes and save funds, with a broader tax schedule decision to follow. Senator Owen of Oklahoma delivered a long address on secret diplomacy in Europe as the chamber also set a Christmas recess from December 20 to January 3.
