WASHINGTON, Jan. IA meeting OF
the Senate finance Committee to-day was
devoted to the discussion of the Vest and
MCPHERSON financial bills presented yes
fsrday. No aesIon was taken. The COM
mitEee adjourned until Monday. when il
s expected Jones viii have q bill TO be
considered. /. was stated that the pros
pect for financial legislation had not been
frightened materially By Eo-day's meeting.
The Democratic members who had bean
very hopeful that the meeting would de-
velop some expression in regard TO the
attitude Of the Republicans on he con-
miiiee were more IT less disappointed. for
the minority members did not expose their
plans further than 70 repeat that they pre-
teTred there should be every evidence OF
uHa2imIty among the Democratic mem oers
and substantial agreement among them
on the terms Of a bill before the Repnbli-
cans would feel called upon 70 actively
participate in the making up Of measure.
They found little evidence in the express
sion OF their Democratic colleagues 10 al
there was likely to be an early agreement.
The leading Republican member of the
committee said after adjournment that
there we're as many opinions as 10 the bill
demanded of the occasion as there were
members Of the committee. The discus
sion, therefore. was confined largely TO
the Democratic members, aud while Ii
soon became evident that Ii would be lm-
possible to agree on The basis OF the Vest
bill, a spirit Of Cancellation and eompro-
mise was displayed so prominently as to
lead to some hope among Democratic
zfrrtf v--t IA
reached.
Senator Gordon of Georgia, in converse
ton with Senators. said: "The defeat OF
the appropriation will not defeat the col
lection of the income tax. Under
section % all persons and corporations
with incomes above the sum Of $500
are required to make returns ae-
cording to form prescribed by the Rsv-
enus Department to the Secretary of the
Treasury. Those who hope 10 escape the
payment Of the income tax through the
failure of Congress to make the appEopria-
ton asked for and who are thus led tC
neglect making their returns at the time
fixed by the law will find themselves H.
VOWED In 80 ger cent heavier taxes and De
compelled 10 pay them"

everywhere when the people come Il

my opinion. any plan which proposes sucl
a currency for them ought TO be satisfac
tory whether it consists of gold or silve
coins or paper redeemable in gold or silye
