Of the House and the committee recommend the following

" SiAMoSs-It Is all printed now.
Mr.. 0RMRs-t has never been before this body.
Mr. SiMMoNs-Oh, yes.
Mr. GRMssI understand it TO be bill Of the House Of
Representatives, copies of which have been distributed
about the chamber but it has never boon under consde
ration here at all
Mr. CoLLAMrR--But part OF il.
Mr. dRxEs large part Of 1t was never under conside-
Mr SixxoNs-Aii can say is, we found it on the tab
Of the committee printed every part of it, and suppose
Ia accessible to every other Senator as is 10 the
members Of that committee.
The PRESIDING oFrcEp--Does the Senator from Iowa
move that the bill be prntedf
SEvRRAL SKSAroRs-Oh no.
M. GRNEs-I do not make such motion but desire Il
Say shall vote against any bin Of such consequence this
u must vote without having oppor read it,
understand 1t imposes direct taxation aud contains
income law and affects the finances OF the country worry
materially; and cannot be expected to vote for such
proposition as that without having all opportunity TO
amino it,
Mr. FxssEsDss-weD, sir, think it may be as well in
that for really do not want Senator's they
vote against this bill because they have had opportu,
nifty 10 understand IT, although this matter pressing
or FIVE days yet, if the Senator wants time, and
predcates his vote upon that, am willing that it shall
be deferred until tomorrow, to give him opportunity
to understand II.
Mr.. SIMMONS should like to accommodate the Sena-
tor very much, but this bill has been printed
Mr.. FEssESDEy-lt is only question whether we shall
raise money not whether carry the war.
Mr.. CoLLAMKR-I wish 10 add word. The part OF the
bill which the gentleman from Iowa seems to
think has not been considered in this bpdy-that
which relates to the real estate tax-has been
printed, and We have had il before us,
although 1t has not been considered It referred TO
the Committee on Finance after II came from the House,
but has not been considered in this body. Bn wish to
say, sir that this bill is essentially the the
which has been passed four or five times in the history
OF this government II was drawn originally believe,
by Mr.: Gallatin, and Mr.. Hamilton, in 1894. 1t was
passed again 1918 1914 and 1915 There is nothing
in it, as understand il but what has been the tried law
OF this government since the beginning of the govern
ment. The only question is whether we are to lay
direct tax at all and apporton il among the States
cordDg to the constitution Now sir there nothing in
that bill which would require its postponement order
which oxperience has tested They long, it is true
but boeve thoy ore essentially the same with those Of
sustan this measure ot direct tax; and that can
discuss just well without reading the details of the
bill, or having II printed over again.
Mr., FESsESpEN will add, in regard to the quest ION TO
print this tax bill originality proposed in the House,
and when proposed they printed IT, and sout here and

Again when passed in the House. as amended with
the income aud other in it, here and on
ny motion four or Eve days ago, that printed and
laid on tables again that the whole measure

It's simple question: a. the Senator from Vermont says

Ing to obtain the loan that is absolutely necessary at the
present time 1t Is useless for Senators to talk about
carrying on the war and all that unless they can come
up to tho measures absolutely necessary provide that
which is the foundation, AZ all times OF the material of
war.
Mr.. SiMMoSs-I suppose il may be proper 20 read the
bill through; but perfectly satisfied and think all
Senator'S ought to be satisfied that they have had
opportunity to read IL for themselves will how explain
to the Senate the notifications and alterations made in

We have stricken out OF the Senate substitute
raising revenue from imports, the ten per additional
duty. At the same time have raised-considerably
higher than the Senate bill proposed-the duties
brandes and spirits. We have, in fact imposed an
additional duty on the mschievous Injuries the strong
drinks and wo have omitted to place upon the general
consumption OF the country this per cent and then
have provided all the drawbacks for transportation
