tributed through ia" state and j. already on the eacr
dar ~ third rcadln: in the House Of assembly 1t

| receive amendment The story ha, been That wheh
ia" bill had gone the House after receiving the up
prevail Of the Tax Commission and the Cove uorS III
do'>ement, it would be pvt through with hc bells on
ana that Democratic caucus would make 1t party
measure This seemed probable enough when Tho mat
ter ir>t considered because the Governors lnnt
cncc had been 81 powerful, and the caucus id Dcen
willing to do almost anything that might be wgcl BY
him and the Zig sin WHO constitute his BOARD Of
political advisers.
Their. ha, been another tale toli since the bill has
been reported however. II ma, proved .ar m ~ rad
zeal and startling innovation than anybody outside oil

aroused a.1lin-t 1t which will unqueStoHably lnnutice
