...rest of his cherished bank reforms. The bill's other author was Alabama's Henry Bascom Steagall, smalltown lawyer and chairman of the House Banking & Currency Committee who spoke for the "little bank" crowd.

Desperately supporters of the tax bill lay about them right & left, seizing upon various excises to help push the total of the bill nearer the balancing figure, among them taxes on stock & bond transfers, limitations on income tax deductions...
