the House of Representatives on Satur-
day morning that if they did not call
| halt to the ruthless methods now being
employed, the Territory would be in a
most unenviable condition financially If
the income tax be declared unconstitu-
tional, there would be not so much as a
cent to devote to the roads and bridges
of which the legislators have spoken SO
long and loud during the extra session.
Nothing else but the discussion of
finances took place curing the half days
session of Saturday
