yANDAIIA, FEB. z.
Both branches oil the q neral Assem-
bly, adjourned sine die Oh Saturday eve
nlns last. The last Two days oil the ses-
sion we're PRINCIPALLY occupied by the
appointment OF committees on the disa-
greelng votes of the two Houses upon
bills which we have heretofore notlced,
and the biiI supplementary 10 an act ma
king appropriations tor the years 1928
and 1926. In our last paper we gave
sketch OF the revenue bill as 1t passed
the House of Representatives. This
bill was lost in the Senate, bat most OF
lis provisions we're lncorpot into the
appropriation bill, and sent back to the
House Of Representatives, as amend
M ents TO that bib. The House adopted
The amendments of the Senate, and The
bill passed bolh Houses, and was sent to
the Council OF Revision on Friday last
Ii was returned by the Council as oblec-
tionabie, inasmuch as the Council were
of opinion that the l4lh section OF the
L. ff. q n.
tween the Uni,ed States ard this State.
By this compact il is among other things
agreed, that "all lands belonging to the
citizens of the United States, residing
without this state, shall never be taxed
higher than lands belonging to persons
residing therein" A the Attn section
provided that residents might pay their
taxes for one half the amount 10 shecie
that they were taxed in state paper, OF
such an amount IN specie as would DC
equlvalen, to the state paper tax, and did
not extend this privilege TO pon-reslden's,
it was deemed by the Council iolaslon
Of the article of the compact referred to,
and that, If TINS was privilege to resi-
dents, il ough also TO be extended to non
residents.
To obyia,e the objection oil the Coun-
Gil OF Revision, it was proposed to amend
the section in such way that taxes might
be paid at ae State Treasury in the same
manner as at the County Treasures.
This amendment, ailer warm debate,
IN which Messrs. Hamilton, Webb,
Hacker, and Wakefield participated, was
los, by small majority. A motion was
also made permitting non-residsnts to
list their lands with an assessor OF any OF
the counties Of this stale: this motion
as also lost by'a large majority. The
bin was eventually so amended IN the
House as 10 meet the views OF the Coun-
Gil, BY vote of 10 to IA. The Senate,
on the question Of concurrence with the
amendments of the House OF Represen-
tatives, were equally divided, and the APP
preparation bill, with all its appendages,
was, for time, lost. The vote, howev r,
was e-considered-and the amendments
of The House were not conCurred IN. A
ioint committee OF conference was then
appointed, in whose port beth Houses
concurred. L may be proper 10 observe,
the difficulty inreia,ion to this bill, grew
out of our currency. A majority OF the
House of Representatives were aserse
TO granting any relief TO Bank debtors,
by permitting the specie warrants, which
the frs, bill contemplated, to be paid in
to the Bank at their real advance. In
the Senate, we should Judge the MAORI
" were in favor of relef.-As the bill
passed, warrants are 10 be issued as Tor
