An Unpopular Law.

Richland Democrat.
The law requiring road taxes paid in
money seems to be decidedly unpopu-
lar in this county. Every town in the
county took advantage of the privi-
lege given to vote upon the question
and all voted almost unanimously to
pay said taxes in labor.

ing to the Outlook. be some hundred

rule allowing two hours for debate at
the end of which vote will be taken
ON again sending the bill to confer
ence. 1t is expected that there will
be objection to this rule. Mr.. Reed
SAYS he advised full debate. yet he
has no objection to limiting it to two
hours Mr. Wilson and Mr.. Reed
will each control one hour 1t is ex-
pected that Mr. Wilson will make the
main statement OF the difficulties
which now confront tho bill, although
his strength may not permit hiih to

said an insistance ON the house bill is
all the instructions necessary. When
