Mr.. Koiner voted in the negative so as
to be able to reconsider.
Mr.. Lovenstein, who had changed his
vote from AYE" to NO at once
moved to reconsider the vote by which
it was rejected, making strong srgu-
ment in favor Of further consideration
of the bill, denouncing the taxation OF
the commerce of the State when no ser
vices are rendered by these pilots he
reviewed at length the claims both OF the
opponents and supporters of the bill and
the conclusions to be drawn therefrom.
Il was one of the best speeches he has
ever made upon the floor of the Senate.
Mr.. Blackstone responded at length
upon the necessity of a system OF pilot
age. claiming that when the foreign com
merce was sufficient TO support the pilots
then it would be time 10 remove this
slight tax. The fight had been made
year after year without success, and 1t
was time to stop.
The Senate, by the vote OF Is to ID,
refused to reconsider So the doom Of
the bill issealed and the pilots are happy.
