Kansas Democrats eye Topeka meeting and tax bill path
The First Lady could not attend a Kansas Democrats meeting in Topeka on Washington's birthday. Several Democratic congressmen also declined to travel. Tax legislation extends the Kansas tax moratorium to 1938, but may remove incentives to pay taxes. The bill’s final form could complicate state finances, with a regular session due in 1937 to decide policy. Eastern finance circles await the Supreme Court ruling on the gold clause, while the federal deficit climbs past two billion dollars. The Georgia legislature regrets inviting Huey Long and invites President Roosevelt instead.
