Tax hikes and legislative actions dominate state session
The house voted to add three cents a package to cigarettes, likely pushing total taxes over 80 million. Other measures failed including an income tax, exemptions repeal, and a referendum on sales tax versus income levy. The senate passed a constitutional levy increase, while unemployment and car tax tweaks faced opposition. National politics centered on Vandenberg, Stassen, and Taft Dewey alignments as Republicans prepare for their convention. President Truman pressed the campaign trail with stops in Missouri, Illinois, and Indiana ahead of a Friday return to Washington.
