Senator Voorhees Defends Wilson Bill and Tax Plans
In Washington on January 8 Senator Voorhees, head of the Senate Finance Committee, said no substitute will be offered as the Wilson tariff bill moves from the House. He favors income tax, firearms tax, and higher whisky and cigarette levies. He predicted the bill will be the Senate base with small changes, possibly in the sugar schedule, and endorsed the House Ways and Means actions. He argued whisky taxes could rise further and backed patent medicines and firearms taxation for wealthy sportsmen and others. The senator noted opposition tends to come from states affected, but party harmony will drive passage.
