town taxes paid by corporations should
be included in their running expenses.
Agreed to.
No further amendments We're offered,
and at exactly 10 o'clock, the bill was
read a third time, after which Mr..
Smith made a speech against the in
come tax, but in favor of the bill as a
whole
Senator Hill followed with a brief
speech. He said that in his opinion
the bill imperilled the possibility of
permanent Democratic success in any
northern state for many years to come.
As between a Populistic income tax on
the one hand and a Republican tariff
law on the other, he chose the latter
as the least of two evils AS between
lpernicious class legislation fraught with
dangerous consequences to the country
on the one hand and simply high tariff
taxation on the other he preferred to
endure the latter, at least for a brief
period Continuing he said:
eliminate the income tax, and there
| is no olfncu1ty in framing an honest, con-
slstent and genuine tariff bill upon strict
revenue lines with all raw materials free,
Whlch can be passed by the vote of every
democratic senator without the aid of a
single Populist vote and which the coun-
Jury would welcome and approve This is
not even pretended to be such measure.
numerous senators argue that the Demo-
cratic side of this chamber must fall,
as though Democratic principles have
been surrendered or bartered away to Sc
cure the triumph of this botched compro-
mise measure which is really acceptable
70 no one. | am sure, if they expressed
their honest sentiments, they do not APP
prove OF this bill any more than | do.
i.The issue. of tariff reform had better be
postponed and preserved in the act, rather
than emasculated. disfigured and despoil-
Led IN the manner now proposed.
rms bill does not meet public expecta-
lions, but at best is an empty and beg

| to do and leaves undone those things
which it ought to do.
| MIR. President, 1 do not fail to appre-
lciate the gravity of the situation but the
course which duty and consistency re-
qu1re me to pursue at this hour is as
clear to me as to the MONDAY sun.
Sink or swim, live or die, survive or
perish, cannot and will not support this
bill in its present shape
