The following members explained their
votes, as follows:
Mr.. st. Clair
I vote yes" for the sake OF passing this
bill to the Senate, and not because / ap-
prove Of oil OF the provisions OF said bill.
| Senate.
Mr.. Cosgrove--
am opposed to the bill as amended, but as
as revenue bill is necessary, vote ..aye.n
Mr. jackson. OF Natchitoches-
l regard this bill AZ amended one OF the
most famous legislative monstroslties ever
given birth to by any Legislative body, and |
dlsclaim any honor In assisting In the ac-
couchement. But as ! have great faith In the
! action and wisdom OF the Senate, and In order
TO get this bill before that honorable body
without any further delay, vote "yes."
Mr.. Farmer
vote YEA" on the final passage Of the reye-
nue. bill. No 223 for two reasons:
/. l wish this bill sent to the Senate as
soon as possible, regardless OF the condition
IN which 1t passes tho House, In order that
as suits the Views Of that body. This bill
cannot be finally passed except upon the re-
port OF conference committee. and 1t Is use-
less to consume time prior to It's reference to
such committee. am opposed to the amend
ments which the House has adopted, but
recognize the necessity OF submitting to their
incorporation In the bill at this Time
2. Injured, as | think 1t ID, by these amend
ments, yet even they could not destroy the
substantial merits Of the original bill, which
furnished foundation too solid to be seri-
ously shaken by any other proceeding than
the rejection OF tho bill.
As the bill stands, 1t is immeasurably gu
perior to the existing revenue laws, which
In effect, been anuuled by the constitution OF
1879 In fact, there is no revenue bill now In
force In this Slate, and the adoption OF this
Dill In whatever condition It Is finally left by
the amendments OF the House and Senate, Is
an Imperative necessity.
In legislation this rule ought to be always
observed: To take the best that can be OBJ
tanned, and not insist on getting the best that
can be desired.
