the changes suggested was the elm
ination OF sub division s of article g.
granting an increased subsidy to the
American line and all of sections {
and 10. relating to tonnage taxes.

reduction of the subsidy for the Amer
lean line would drive that company
under a foreign flag, and Mr.. CALM
ger agreed with him.

tax provisions had been taken out be-
cause of the constitutional objections
made to them that as they provide for
the raising of revenue they cannot
properly originate in the senate. He
expressed the hope that the provisions
would be restored by the house. Mr'

All. and that The proposed bounty is
in line with many precedents

BY Associated Press.


WASHINGTON, Jan. SO.-Members
of the house evinced more general
interest in the discussion of the rail

on any topic of Legislation for some
time. The debate throughout was lis
tened to very attentlvely and many
questions were asked of the speakers
to bring out obscure points i'm the
measure or evils complained of which
no attempt had been made to include
in the bill The debate on the bill
was opened by Mr.. Townsend of Mich

instance. Mr.. Hinshaw of Nebraska de-
pcted the benefit the legislation would
be to the great Mississippi coun-
try and Mr.. Richardson of Alabama

speakers by Mr.. Sherry of Kentucky
and Mr.. Littlefeld OF Maine indicated
that there is to be some opposition to
the bill. at least in debate. Inc feature
seemingly most liable to attack is as
to Just what will be the authority of the
