Senate approves Carroll bill to raise taxes for pensions and aid
The Wisconsin State Senate passed the Carroll bill 19 to 13 after a doomed bid by Progressive Senator Harold Groves to revive the 1935 relief surtax. The measure raises income and corporate taxes by 20 percent and lowers personal exemptions to fund old age and mothers' pensions and school aids. Groves and others argued over how the $10,000,000 biennial revenue would be raised, with protests about the bill hitting the “little fellow” hard.
