President Rejects Compromise On The Tax Bill
President Roosevelt rejects a compromise on the corporation tax bill, prompting a revolt by some Democrats in the Senate Finance Committee. Insurgents defend the plan, while Roosevelt says the revised measure falls short of his revenue goal. The proposed flat 1% corporate tax and 27% surtax on undivided profits would yield about $500,000, far below his recommended $1,137,900,040.
