only one feature relieved yesterdays
senate session from the dreariest drone
OF the most unmixed monotony. That
was a lively, although so unprogres-
slVe as TO suggest the interminable.
debate which was precipitated by the
taking up of S. F. 181, the tax and tax
laws committees substitute for the
Greer and Potter tax commission bills.
1t was not regularly on general orders
until Saturday. The bill was at a
disadvantage in that 1t had not been
printed. 1t was cha1npioned. however,
both by Senators Greer and Potter, in
spite Of the fact that the substitute
Knocked out the commission, which
was named by individuals on the Pot
ter bill, giving the governor the ap-
pcintiVe power. 1t continues the Pot
ter provision, however, that the COM
mission report its bill by March 10.
Senator Stebbins thought the time
should be extended to March 20. Sen
ator Morgan opposed this. Senator
hnatvold thought the senate should fix
the tax laws up itself, and not entrust
such important matters to a commits
sion. Senator Sheehan said if it was
the purpose to refer to this commits
sion all laws introduced in the senate
relating to taxes he could not vote for
the bill as some Of the most important
Pleasures ever considered in the leg'3-
lature would come up for action IN the
closing days of this session.
Senator Thorpe thought the commits
sion would work faster than the full
senate, or even a senate committee,
the members Of which would have
many distracting labors. Senator
Sperry opposed the commission. The
trouble was not with the intricacies of
taxation methods so often referred to,
but to the exemptions made No tax
commission would have power to set
aside the provision Of the constitution
that all taxes shall be equal.
II the provision had not been en-
forced, the trouble was not with any
section Of the law that the commission
could reach.
Senator Greer said a number Of SEN
ators We're in the position Of citizens
generally-they wanted a tax which
would hit some one else, but not them.
June was not the date for collecting
taxes IN the grain regions Of the state.
The delinquent tax lists dWindled won
derfully as soon as their crops could
pe SoIu. Inc penalty was an injuS-
tlce to these sections. Senator Calkin
said the senate was closer to the popu-
lar thought than any commission
could be.
senator McHale opposed the commits
sion. The existing laws were not the
work of five men for thirty days, but
OF a LOCO men for forty years The
commission would be expensive too.
11e committe Of the whole decided n
report progress, and will no doubt re-
sumo the discussion this morning.

Fnvors Fusion of Greenbncks and
Treasury Notes.
The monetary commission has taken a re-
cess until December Is.
w. L. Trenholm, ex-controller of cur
rency, has submitted to the commission his
views on the currency question. He recon-
mends the fusion of the greenbacks and
treasury notes into one form of paper re-
deemable in gold. He thinks that these
notes should be issued in denominations of
81. 81 and s.. in order that the people may
have confidence in the money in current
circulation. He believes that redemption
fund of $100.OOO.O0O would be sufficient to
maintain the parity Of the entire volume Of
about $4JO.O0O.O0O. Regarding the DISPOSE
ton OF the silver dollars and silver certifl-
Gates, Mr.. Trenholm suggests that the sill
yer now in the treasury be constituted into
reserve fund for the guarantee Of out
standing silver dollars, and that the silver
certificates in excess of the actual bullion
value Of the coins and certificates outstand-
ing be cancelled from time to time as they
come into the treasury. He recommends
that silver certificates be issued in denomi-
nations of SO and over. and that some of
them be issued in denominations of 81 600
5000 and 10000 in order that they may
be held by national banks in the propor-
ton of 90 per cent of their lawful money
reserves.
