Gorman Says Revenue Bill Crisis Looms Over Bond Sale
In Washington May 28, Senator Gorman warned that failure to speed passage of the revenue bill could trigger a crisis. He voiced support for taxing corporations and criticized relying on the people, warned the Supreme Court could rule the corporate tax unconstitutional, and suggested the president might need to issue bonds to fund war efforts, potentially at four to five percent interest. He opposed the surrender of war-taxes to partisan battles and urged action to preserve national strength.
