Abstract

A collection of newspaper clippings with dates ranging from March 1961 to October 1961. Although the dates featured in this scrapbook overlap with dates featured in Scrapbook 21 and Scrapbook 22, Scrapbook 23 focuses solely on talks of implementing a State Income Tax and the discourse that followed the proposal. While state legislators claimed the tax would benefit Rhode Island, much of the general public remained vocal in their opposition.

Some pages featured in this scrapbook have articles that obscure other items on the page. In this case, the same page has been shot multiple times to show all content.

The original copy of this scrapbook is no longer available. This digital version has been created from a microfilm copy from MSS-0001, Box 6.
