as he believed the Ford bill to be salts
factory to all the people and as good as
could be drawn. but he accorded to the

GRAFTON of the measure, and, with the
careful study which he had made of the
subject, the speaker was willing to defer
his Judgment to the executive and vote
for the new hill

ment of the franchise tax bill. This was
