their colleagues in congress and wide
divergence of opinion has caused con-
siderable confusiono. which will doubt
less continue for several days, until the
members of the house have had q
chance to exchange views. A causue
may be necessary to determine upon
policy. In the meantime the committee
has suspended its meetings. The bill
which has been prepared provides for
the removal Of most Of the stamp taxes
and a reduction of $4,000 900 in the
revenue, this sum recommended by the
president, but leaves ths tax on beer
and tobacco.
A good many members of congress do
not think there is any necessity Of re-
I.ducing ia axation. They say the country
is rich ans prosperous and the peppie
