Revenue bill faces Senate test amid major changes
Washington reports the 1919 20 revenue bill is reported to the Senate by the finance committee after sweeping amendments converting it from a war to a reconstruction tax. It now taxes 1919 and 1920, targets $6.0 billion and $4.0 billion, and adds a 10 percent levy on employers of child labor. The bill removes presidential and federal judge salaries from taxation and revises war excess profits taxes. Prospects of delay loom as Republicans oppose 1920 tax provisions and seek to force a special session after March 4.
