The Senate proceeded TO consider the
tax bill-a House bill.
The bill proposed TO levy on property
tax OF 80 cents on the 800 for Support
of the Government and to pay the Interest
on the public debt" and further tax OF
10 cents on every 800 ito support the
public schools"
An amendment proposed by the Senate
Finance Committee to strike out land TO
nav the interest on the public debt" was
agreed to.
ITbe theory Is that if these words were
left in it might, and most probably would,
be held that the whole would be sOlvable
i'm coupons; but strike them out, and the
simple provision is to support the Govern
ment. This must he. 1t can only be
supported by sufficient tax being paid i'll
money for that purpose. Inasmuch as the
money is essential TO the life OF the Gov
eminent, the courts, il is presumed, Will
hold that the tax set apart for its support
must be paid in money and not in cOu-
pOns.
The interest is provided for by the
license tax, all OF which, under the Fitz-
patrick bill. is payable only in money!
