"ci says that the senate substitute for the
Mills bill will be adopted by the senate and
sent to the house by the oath OF January.
The senator thinks that the bill is such 8
good one that it ouy ht to command the sup.
port of the Democrats in the senate. But,
he says, whether thsy vote for it or not, it
will have enough friends to pass it, as there
are no differences among the Republican
senators which will hinder its success. The
opinion among many of the prominent Dem.
ocrats of the house that if a bill should be
presented to the house during the present
session providing for a 50 per cent. reduction
on sugar and total repeal of the tobacco
tax it would pass.
