Payne Blocks Mccumber.
A final attempt by Senator McCum-
Der to amend the new bill on the lin
seed oil matter, and the milling-in-
bond matter, failed because of Chair
man Paynes opposition in the house.
1t was well understood that Senator
McCumber would not succeed in get
ting these changes made, notwith-
standing the willingness of the senate
to adopt his resolutions.
After the adoption of Senator Aid
rich's concurrent resolution correct
ing" the leather schedule, Senator Nc
Cumber offered a concurrent resolu-
ton on the fax and milling-in-bond
matters. He outlined the situation
and secured statement on the floor
from Chairman Aldrich that there had
been mistakes in both matters.
Senator Aldrich admitted that there
should be prohibition against a
drawback on oilcake and that it was
a mistake that 1t had been stricken
out. He said also that the bonded
warehouse clause should not have
been changed to allow millers to
withdraw by-products for sale in this
country, and that this also was a mis-.
take.
With this backing Mr.. McCumber
was about to pass his resolution when
the Democrats insisted that free cot
ton bagging would have to be tackled
ON 1t. Mr.. McCumber accepted this,
and then Senator Clapp rose and tried
to tack on his corporation tax amend
ment. Senator McCumber objected to
this loading down" of his resolution,
and Senator Clapp withdrew his
amendment rather than further EN-.
barrass Mr.. McCumber
The resolution passed the senate
without objection.
Congressman Hanna was prepared
to take it up in the house, but when
he called 1t up he was met with in
slant objection by Chairman Payne
Mr.. Payne made the point of order
that the resolution was one which
changed the revenue laws and that it
should have originated in the house.
He made motion that 1t should be
sent to the committee on ways and
means, and such action was taken.
