Is Killed In Revenge
For Slaughter Of
Primary Law
HOUSE.
4sth Day-Afternoon Session.

4Sth Day--AfternoOn Session.
The Municipal Bill Is make. II was
offered up as a sacrifice ON the altar
vi the defunct primary law. The
House barred the knife yesterday at
.ernoon and slaughtered II in revenge
Tor the Senators har>ag trcacherOusly
killed the promised Primary Bill.
II only took a minute to do II.
message came down from the Senate
that the Primary law was dead. The
municipal Bill was called M and Coney
calmly moved that II be postponed UNI
Ill April 30. This carried without OPP
position and the House laid 1t away IN
It's little grave without flowers.
There Is. Of course, the possibility
that II will be resurrected and put on
Its feet again. for the House Is liable
at any moment To turn a back somer-
Jault and go back on its action of u
few minutes before. IL has done so
several times before. In fact. II did
SO Yesterday. The Representatives
passed n bill raising the amount Of
income tax exemption from $1,000 to
$500. The Senate killed II. The
House raised frightful cutlery, and
promptly passed another bill increas-
ing the amount of exemption to $1,000.
The Senate this time turned q somer-
sault itself and passed the measure
only for 1t to be vetoed by the Gov
ernOr. And then the House. which
bad been clamoring for the passage
ct the bill. refused to override the
veto. Whereupon there came echoing
down from the Senatorial chamber %
sound that sounded remarkably like "a
distinct ha-ha.
II was after the House had adjourned
yesterday that the fun commenced.
News OF the smotnering of the Munic-
ipal Bill had assembled to the Senate
before that time.,a and the wearers Of
the toga were lying in wait In the
corridor for the Representatives. As
soon as the first of them came out,
things began to happen. The Senators
pounced upon them and began to ex-
press their opinion of the House In
words emphaticand profane.
You people In the House are a lot
OF - fools" said Chillingworth. III
you think you are going to get the
Primary law resurrected by holding up
the Municipal bill. you have another
,hink coming"
The word fool flew about promis-
cuously and II generally had big ID
in front of IL Chillingworth was
elated over the success of his treach-
orous attack oh'ths- Primary law and
took every opportunity to rub It In on
his opponents. Lane was so angry
that he could hardly talk. Woods, Ka-
lama and other Senators took Il hand
In the fray, and were met by charges
OF the House brigade. including Shell
don, Rawllns and others. Coney kept
discreety out of the way. The Gov
ernor came down the stairs, asked q
question and then seeing what he was
about to butt into. took a sneak before
anything struck him.
And around. the outskirts of the fray
lowered big Charlie Motley. trying to
get n chance to explain how he did II
all with his little Aala park meeting.
The House, among other transactions
yesterday afternoon, OVERRIDE the Gov
ernor's veto Of the sisal and pineapple
exemption bill and sustained his veto
OF the income tax bill.
