NJ Hill offered amendments reducing
the amount of the incomes taxable n
exempting certain incomes, but all were
defeated. He offered an amendment ex-
empting the salary of the president from
taxation and made a speech III favor OF
it.
"As Mr.. Cleveland is the last Demo-
cratic DEbslutut we Suull nave h'N Wv
York." said Mr.. Vest, rising to his feet,
''the appeal is almost irresistible"
IF you persist in this species of taxa
ton" said Mr.. Hill, 'he will be the last
Democratic president from n state"
The laughter in the galleries that greeted
this Ltterance of Mr.. Hill was quickly
checked by the vice president by II Wig
orous use of the gavel. When the amend
ipent was put it was carried by a vivo
yoce vote, Mr., McLaurin being the only
senator who raised his voice against 1t.
There is little doubt in any quarter that
the present week will see the end of tho
II riff debate in the senate. Estimates
as to the time when the final vote shall
be reached range from Tuesday unth
Saturday, but a majority of the senate
has expressed the opinion that the mai
vote will be taken on Wednesday OF
