House Finalizes War Revenue Bill Amid Tax Debates
The House completed the $3,000,000,056 war revenue bill with final passage expected after debates. McAdoo dismissed calls for tax increases as unwise, while amendments on cotton taxes child labor and mixed flour were ruled out on points of order. The bill avoids new levies and proceeds to Senate consideration as draft changes from the Ways and Means Committee remain intact.
