Senate Votes Drastic War Profit Curbs
The Senate approved tax legislation to raise about $1.1 billion yearly by cutting income exemptions and raising excise and corporate taxes. It added an immediate profits tax on corporations subject to a war declaration and faced opposition from LaFollette and administration supporters. The measure would create 2,190,000 new taxpayers, raise the debt limit to $49 billion, and fund defense bonds over five years, with tobacco taxes largely removed.
