Tax bill debate moves to Senate hearings
Washington April 4 The revenue tax bill passed by the House Friday arrived in the Senate today and was referred to the Finance Committee where hearings begin Wednesday. Protests poured in from New York lawmakers while Senator Fess received thousands of letters urging opposition to tax plans on federal salaries and stock market practices. The bipartisan drive aims to push the bill through before conventions with talks of 19 percent cuts in two supply bills and potential new levies to balance the 1923 budget. Hearings start Wednesday with Treasury Mills as first witness, as leaders seek to slim or revise the House proposal amid partisan tensions and possible general sales tax discussions.
