The tax ferret bill came up on third
reading and was the feature OF the day S
session. Senator LaMoure raised the
question of power of the commissioners
to bargain away any of the states snare
of the taxes, as this bill proposed. MI:
Wolbert stated the bill was a copy OF
the Iowa law, which has been held con-
s%titutional in the courts. Mr.. Hale
thought the law a good one and 1t
would remedy a defective place in the
present revenue law. Mr.. Lavayea was
against the bill. 1t partook Of the nat
ure of spying, which was repugnant to
the sense of liberty and freedom OF the
American people. Mr.. Murphy said
that if this bill was intended to get at
the money of depositors in banks it
would be ruinous to the state. Mr.. NO
