Iowa Congressmen to Oppose Nolan Tax Bill
Washington dispatch reports Iowa congressmen led by Representative L J Dickinson oppose the Nolan bill proposing a one percent tax on holdings and resources over thirty thousand dollars. Dickinson argues the measure is unconstitutional and harms land value tied to fertility and extractive industries. He cites industrial profits from raw materials and notes agriculture decline with excessive taxation. The piece also mentions a tribute note from Representative Burton J Sweet to Chaplain Winfred Robb for his book on the One Hundred Sixty-eighth Infantry and a France visit in 1918.
