an OF the House bill after the enacting

Inc Republicans made the most OF this.

would mean the death of the bill az tho
Senate would not condescend to ask the
House for it. The bill having been re-
Jected, the possibility OF any new bill be-
ing passed or framed even at this session
would be fnfnitesimal and the present
revenues would remain in effect, thing
much desired by the Republicans.
All this was defeated by Mr.. Payne. The
Democrats of the Ways and Means Com
mittee held meeting and decided to a
man to ask for conference with the Sen
ate, in the hope that some bill with even
greater reductions than those in the one
now under consideration could be OBJ
tanned. When the Ways and Means Com
rnittee met yesterday morning the ques-
ton OF sending the bill into conference
was discussed. One vote was taken upon
strictly party lines, resulting in tie. On
the next vote Mr.. Payne changed his vote,
siding with the Democratic members, OPP
posing his party but saving his bill.
