The effort TO take out the special clauses
in the new tax bin and to frame them into a
separate bill was discussed in the House to-
day.
Mr. Shanks offered the resolution directing
the committee Of ways and means to take ont
the whisky and tobacco sections and make
them into a separate bill.
This was objected to in strong terms by
Mr.. Schenck, who said that this would take
more time than would be required to pass the
bill in its present shape. Mr. Pile moved
that Mr. Shanks motion be laid on the table
which motion was disagreed to.
Mr. Schenck arose and began to denounce
this course, but was called to order by the
Speaker.
Before taking his seat he said he would
denounce this act as cowardly.
Confusion ensued and several gentlemen
tried to get the floor, but the speaker refused
to recognize them
Mr. Maynard moved to reconsider the
vote Just taken.
Mr.. Sparkling moved to table this mo-
ton. BY vote Of II ayes to 60 nays the
House decided to table the motion.
Mr. Schenck then moved that the House
reconsider the vote by which the previous
question on the passage of the bill was Sec
onded. Before this could be made, another
motion was offered to lay Mr.. Schenck's mo-
ton on the table, and it passed. The rules
were then suspended in order to allow Mr..
Schencl to speak half an hour against Mr..
Shanks' resolution, and those in favor Of it for
the same length of time.
Mr.. Schenck then took the floor After
one hours debate on Mr. Shanks' resolution,
during which speeches were made by Messrs.
: shanks, Butler, Schenck, Price and Pruyn,
E it was passed by vote Of 10 ayes 10 90 nays
