FIGHT IN HOUSE. OVER INSURANCE
Dispute as to which Committee Shall
Consider subject.

WASHINGTON. Dec 14.-Debate on the
recommendation in the presidents annual
message regarding insurance regulation oc-
cupied the house today, without conclu
sion. The pending resolution refers the
question to the ways and means commit
tee and in its defense Mr.. Payne, chair
man. made the argument that the only way
congress could control insurance
through the taxing power. To this many
objections were made. Members said COM
gress could not afford TO take the position
that the only way It could control insur-
ance was through taxing It, that 1t should
resolutely pursue other methods of control
until some way was found that would ba
effective. Liberal rules of debate allowed
lengthy speeches, which went off on other
subjects more or less intended for home
consumption and applicable to particular
localities.
The contest between the ways and means
committee and the interstate and foreign
commerce committee for the control of m
| surance legislation was continued In the
house today. Mr.. Payne took the floor to
| show that the power of tax was the only
way in which congress could get control
! over insurance and the ways and means
| committee had Jurisdiction over the taxing
power
I
! by Mr.. Payne to substantiate his position
! that insurance was not interstate com
merce. He contended that in the face OF
| the unanimous opinion of the supreme
court the only legislation touching insur-'
| ance that would be held to be good would
| be 10 tax IL.
Mr.. Mann Uil0 said he great diff
! Guilty In regulating insurance through the
taxing power, but he did believe resuls-
ton might he insured under the cominerce
clause of the constitution.
! AS a precedent for the future Mr. Hep
burn said he saw great importance in tho
manner in which the question should be
dc cided. The supreme court view, he said,
was not the view of himself or a cunsd-
erablc number of members of the house.
The exact recommendation of the Far as
