Clearing the Decks for New Tariff Legislation
The House and Senate plan to clear pending measures over the next two weeks before considering a new tariff aimed at protecting American workers while avoiding monopolies and keeping prices stable. The Treasury warns of four billion dollars in annual federal taxes, shaping a careful revenue plan. The Ways and Means and Senate Finance committees have held hearings and expect five months to craft balanced bills, with an emergency tariff as a temporary shield for industry. America counts on Congress and the administration to pursue thorough, well-balanced policy to spur industry, manufacturing, and employment.

Daugherty Ruling Says Distillers Exempt From Extra Tax
Attorney General Daugherty’s opinion to the Secretary of the Treasury holds distillers are exempt from extra taxes on liquor withdrawn for nonbev erage uses and later diverted to illegal ends. It argues liability would punish lawful sellers when bootleggers misuse released liquor and stresses distillers should only face higher taxes if they knowingly aid illegal uses. The ruling aims to clarify prohibition administration and appeals to fairness.
