Amendments Voted Down.
The house voted down the PROPOSE
ton by 81 to "A 10 make the law ef-
fective at once and by a vote OF 81
to % voted down Mr.. McMaster's
proposition to extend the time for
the enforcement Of the repeal until
1910.
Mr.. Richards believes that the act
| will pass the senate by a majority OF
at least four and possibly five. He
has canvased that body thoroughly
and the repeal is certain. He will
now support the bill offered by Mr..
Hydrick, which will protect the far
mers and tenants, in that mortgage
on a crop before it begins to grow is
forbidden. Mr.. Hydrick's bill is as
follows:
"No mortgage Of any crop or crops
shall be good and effective to convey
to the mortgage any interest in any
crop or crops other than the crop or
crops to be raised during the year in
which said mortgage is given, and
unless the land vhereoa said crop or
crops are to be raised shall be de-
sclibed or mentioned in said mort
gage. and unless the crop or crops
herein referred to shall be up and
growing at the time Of the execution
Of the mortgage.
"That said amendment shall not
take effect uatil the first day Of JAN
uary 1909"
