The house INDUCED in merry war
| over the Haugland tax bill, this morning.
The bill was reported out Of the commit
tee OIL taxes and tax laws for indefinite
postponement Mr.. Haugland, however,
at once moved that his measure be placed
OH general orders. The debate was one of
the liveliest of the session, and Mr.. Haug-
land had his way, 63 to Is. The nays were
Anderegg, Armstrong, Budd, Deegan,
| Deming, Bowling, Fryberger, Gillette, Hell
| liwell, j. B. Kelly Morley, Oleson, Put
nam, Stevenson Wells and Yoerg.
Mr.. Haugland maintained that he had
been shabbily treated by the committee.
lie had not ben allowed to discuss his
| bill properly. but one member Of the COM
mittee had insisted on nonopoizing the
talk himself. He asked the house not
| to permit so important measure to be
killed without proper consideration
| George w. Armstrong, of the committee.
| explained that it had been deemed unwise
and futile to ask the house again to spend
! any time in consideration of a measure
which could never be passed in the SEN
ate. even if it could In the house and which
was not desired by the governor. Mr..
Armstrong also alluded to the Smith BILL
with provides for submission to the people
at the next election of a proposition to Gre
ate tax commission of three members to
draft, revise and codify the realty tax
laws. This bill was reported for passage
and Mr. Armstrong argued that the pro-
cedure there proposed offered the best pos
s1ble solution Of the problem.
| Mr.. Fryberger. of Hennepin. spoke in
similar strain. So did MI. Gillette who
was indignant at certain insinuations,
made by Mr. Burns, who had raised the
cry of "'Ware the corporations Mr..
Gillette pronounced the Smith bill much
the better measure and argued that the
house would merely waste its time if it
insisted upon considering the Haugland
bill. Mr.. Shearer maintained traditions
by showing that the Hennepin delegation
was not unanimously against the bill. He
spoke for Mr.. Haugland'se motion. -
Mr.. Armstrong held the utterances OF
Mr.. Burns up to ridicule and characterized
his speech flamboyant and sopho-
moric.', The debate and remarks of mem
bers who insisted upon '.explaining' their
vote occupied over an hour.
When the vote had been announced.
Mr.. Haugland wanted the bill made a
Especial order. but on a protest from Mr..
lTighe, agreed to defer this motion till
another day. The victory Of Mr.. Haug-
land to-day means a hard struggle over
the question of franchise taxation at this
session. .....
