The substitute of the committee on
banking and currency for the original
Brawley bill, suspending the operation of
the 10 per cent tax as to the issues of
certificates, etc, by clearing houses and
other organizations last year, merely
changing the verbiage so as to make it
more explicit, was defeated on a viva
vOce vote. Then the original bill was
lost.
This was the end of the ten days de-
bate, and a result that occasiOned some
surprise, and the announcement was re-
ceived amid much confusion and ap-
plause.
PROVISIONS OF THE BRAwLEY BILL.
The Brawley bill as originally intro
duced in the House contained a preamble
setting out that whereas certain bank
ing associations, for the purpose of re-
heving the financial stringency, have
issued what have been denOminated
clearing house certificates, and other
notes and forms of indebtedness which
were designed and intended to
provide temporary relief for evils
rency, and which, in many cases
have been effectual to prevent greater
calamities; and whereas it has been
claimed that such certificates and notes
are subject to the tax imposed by law
upon all notes other than national bank
notes" therefore, it was proposed to sus-
pend the operation of sections 34l2 and
34l3 of the revised statutes in regard TO
all such notes issued between Aug. l and
Oct. 10, 1897
Succeeding sections of the statutes i'm
posed upon the commissioner of internal
revenue the duty of assessing these taxes
and Of collecting additional penalties in
the case of failure to make returns.
ACTION oF'THE REVENUE OFFICE.
The initiative was taken by the internal
revenue Office for the assessment of q
number of banks, principally in the south
ern states who had been less guarded in
their issue and use of their clearing house
than banks in the east, and had appar-
entity committed a technical violation of
the law, but when an appeal was made TO
congress, these proceedings were sus-
pended. Mr.. Springer, from the banking
committee, reported the relief bill, by
saying, "the committee has carefully
considered the question involved, and be-
ing of the opinion that the penalties. if
legally incident should not be enforced
in the present instances, recommend that
the bill do pass" The defeat of the bill
would seem TO lay the banks once more
open TO the assessment of the penalties
provided in the law. Mr.. CoX's amend
ment to this DILL, which was defeated by
so decisive a vote, provided for the total
repeal of the law instead of a mere sus-
pension of it's provisions.
No division was taken upon either the
committee substitute for the Brawley bill
nor upon the original bill, but both were
defeated upon viva voce vote.
THE INDIAN BILL TAKEN UP.
Mr.. Holman moved that the House, in
committee of the whole, take up the In
dian appropriation bill for the year end
ing June 30, 1898.
This was agreed to, and Mr.. O'Neil,
MIR. Holman asked that the first read
ing of the bill be dispensed with.
MIR. Ray, rep, of New York, objected.
The clerk began the task of wading
through the 1873 printed pages of the doe
ument, but had proceeded only little
way when an arrangement was effected
by which Mr. Ray withdrew mrs demand
for the reading of the bill, and Mr. Hol-
man promised that the House should ad-
iourn, it then being five minutes Of 3
o'clock.
When the committee had risen, MIR.
Holman found it difficult to carry out his
agreement, many of the member obJecting
10 adjournment at that hour.
on division the House voted S2 TO
80 to adjourn, but Mr.. Bynum, dem, of
Indiana, demanded the yeas and nays.
The vote resulted-yeas 104; nays 49,.
So the House at 1925 o'clock adjourned
until tomorrow.
