bate of the day was over Mr.. Ross
mans bill, No 13a, relating to the
taxation of bank stock The author
how bank stock largely escapes
taxation and how unjust the present
system is to other taxpayers. He
created lively diversion by boldly
dealing in personalities, declaring that
Judge Orton's bank was lodging
taxes and that concern in which As
semblyman Mccormick was interested
was doing the same Mr.. Orion
denied that bankers were dishonest
and he was grateful for the oppor-
tunity to repel the SANDER uttered
against them. In very plain language
he declared that Mr.. Rossman didn't
know what he was talking about.
The bill was killed, So to 81. Mr..
Kern's bill requiring assessors 10
stamp notes was killed. SO to rs. a.
though Mr.. Benson declared it to be
in the interest of fuller taxation of
securities which now escaped. Mr..
Cady made motion to reconsider the
vote by which the senate bill had been
concurred in providing special ballot
boxes for women at school elections.
Mr. Dodge made motion to lay the
motion on the table, and it prevailed
by a large majority. This action
renders further reconsideration i'm.
possible and makes the law a GER
tainty in the absense of veto. The
Fenelon bill requiring that all beer
be labeled barley beer" rice beer
or corn beer" according to its make.
was killed. The Dahl bill making ap-
