The Portland daily press., 1875-02-08

After some discussion both reports were or
dered to be printed and recommitted, with
leave to call up the subject any time.
The Hennepin canal bill was taken up and
was favored by Messrs, McCreary, Cotton and
Wilson. Messrs. White, Burchard, Dawes and
Holman opposed it.
Mr.. Dawes did not think the government
should launch out into the system of public
improvements in the present crippled condition
of the treasury. He asked that the bill be post
poned till the temper of the House could be
tested on the subject of increased taxation.
Mr.. Holman of Indiana thought it was the
Job of the session, the pioneer measure, which
in the end woulo take hundreds of thousands
of dollars from the government.
Mr.. Dawes opposed the bill on the ground
that economy was now needed, and said the
House would recollect that at the commence
ment of this session the Secretary of the Treas
ury had called attention to the fact that on the
estimate of the receipts and expenditures it
would be necessary to raise Sc, 600, 900 or more
by additional taxation. Within the last forty
DAYS the receipts of the treasury had fallen
short of that estimate by S3,S00,000, so that
this latter amount would have to be added to
the estimate deficit Ii the same falling off in
the revenue should continue during the re
mander of the fiscal year, the revenue would
not meet the obligations of the government by
fftv miiocs. He was not prepared to say
whether the pending measure was wise or an
unwise one, but if its friends persisted in press
d
Izng the issue of bonds to meet its require
ments or a revenue measure to impose addi-
tional taxation to the amount required When
the treasury was running in debt every day,
when during the last month 81, 800, 900 had been
added to the public debt, when within the last
forty days the receipts had fallen off nearly
g., G0O, O00 such a measure as this should not be
pressed which called for $1,000,000, and would
| involve an outlay of between $4,O0OOOO and
| S2O,OOO,O00. He therefore asked its friends to
postpone action on this bill till the sense of the
House had been taken on the greater and more
| important question that would be presented as
soon as the Committee on Ways and Means
| could obtain the floor. and that was whether
Congress would meet the present obligations of
the government by increasing the burdens Of
the people.
Mr.. Hawley of Illinois, who has charge of
| the bill, replied to the argument made against
| it, Everybody 10 the northwest so far as he
| knew was in favor of the measure except his
| colleague. He denied the work would cost
| anything lik hat his colleague had stated.
Mr.. Maynard of Tennessee, supported the
| bill.
At the close of the discussion Mr. Gunckel of
| Ohio, moved to lay the bill on the table.
| Pending the motion the Speaker announced
| the appointment of Messrs. Garfield, Stark
| weather and Archer as committee of confer
| ence on the legislative appropriation bill. Ad-
