hour session conducted through most
pppiGsoiN1 puS
it was enlivened by dozen or more
speeches of more or less fiery nature.
The temperature did not deter a vast
throng from going to the capitol to
witness the closing scene.
The day opened with what appeared
to be a part of an organized fill
buster against the conference report
when Mr.. Mondeli, tWyo), demanded
the reading If the lengthy document.
This proceeded for about an hour and
a half when with about two thirds
remaining to be read Mr.. Mondell per-
mtted the debate to go on. Chair
man Payne defended the report and
appealed to his republican colleagues
to support it, prophesying at the same
time that when the bill was enacted
into law it would meet with the ap-
proval of the country.
} Denounce Bill.
Mr.. Clark. minority leader, and
many of his colleagues denounced the
bill and ehastised the republicans foa.
failing, as thu alleged. to revise the
tariff downward and keep their party
. pledges.
Perhaps the most sensational speech
of all was by Mr.. Mann of Illinois.
republican. who said he would vote
against the report provided rates on
pulp and print paper as reduced by
the house were not retained. He de-
nouneed that schedule and declared
that Canada would take such action
regarding pulp wood and print paper
as to place an almost prohibitory
price upon paper in this country.
At 1907 p. IN. the house. with the
the senate for action. adjourned un-
; til Monday noon.

Representative LongWorth of Ohio
: in discussing the ta Ill bill in the
. hause today. ad,foGsied the corpora
ton tax provision. He expressed the
belief that a substantial addition Il
the revenues is necessary. not only fol
the purpose os paying off the deficit
but also to provide for a larger ex,

Mr.. Longworth said:
All the Credit.
There is one man, and one mar
only. who is primarily responsible fol
q the evolution of the corporation tax
and that is the president of the United
. States and if il shall become a par
of the permanent law of this country
as | believe 1t will. he is entitled Il

in his mind many months before HI
. was inaugurated. and that before hi
Inauguration he had sought the adyie'
of many well known economists upol
the question.
He estimated the revenue it woul,
produce at s25. 5.ooo. 900 at least, annual
ly.
In conclusion Mr.. Longworth said
Il believe that in evolving and ad
vocating the passage of this law tn
president of the United States ha
redeemed I'm the fullest measure m

ministration. proceed along the path
blocked out by his predecessor. tina
he would use every effort to bring I
his policies their fullest fruition'
