Democrats force sugar tax shift in House fight
The Democratic House majority moves to end the raw sugar tax and substitute free sugar, claiming it will shrink government revenue by about 50 million dollars annually while lowering living costs for consumers. Supporters like Champ Clark hail it as constructive statesmanship, while Republicans warn of job losses in Louisiana and Colorado sugar sectors and a potential veto by the President. The piece also surveys Democratic candidates Wilson Harmon Underwood and Clark, noting their regional appeals and campaign narratives amid intraparty debates and Republican splits.
