Tobacco Tax Removal Passes Senate Amid Eight Year Fight
The Bradley amendment to the Payne Aldrich tariff removes the six cent tax on leaf tobacco in the hands of the grower with a ten pound sale record rule. The measure, urged by Senator Bradley and accepted by the Finance Committee, ends a long campaign and faces House approval where a similar provision exists. The change aims to curb tobacco trade restrictions tied to past tax and is seen as a major victory for tobacco growers in key states.
