AGREEMENT TO DISAGREE COMES
AFTER HALF-HouR SESSION
OF CONFERENCE.
INITIATIVE IS ONLY HOPE NOW
Issue Can Not Again BE Raised In
Legislature at This sosslon-slx
Voted Against Submitting
Tax Rider.

Jefferson City.-The Joint conference
committee OF the senate and house. APP
pointed to consider the tax rider 70 the
prohibition amendment, failed TO agree
In u conferences lasting less than half
an hour. This means the failure OF
prohibition submission this session.
Four voted in favor OF the tax rider.
Senators McAlllster and Gardner and
Representatives Hart and Forlstel.
Practically the same expression was
given on the provision to make pro
hlbltiOn effective In 1918 In the event
Of its submission and adoption at the
polls.
Though those favoring the submis.
sion of the proposed constitutional
amendment were in tho majority on
the conference committee. q unani
nous report made merely conveying to
the two houses the failure OF the com.
mittee TO agree.
No attempt will be made by the
majority OF the committee to influence
the future action OF either the senate
or house. The function OF the commit
tee was confined to consideration Of the
tax rider and TO the 1913 amendment
and not as to whether the prohibition
resolution should be submitted.
A recommendation will DO made by
the Joint committee that II be dis
charged and that another committed
be selected to consider the amend
ments.
I'VE couldn't have agreed IL we had
deliberated for a month" said Senator
Anthony. who presided as chairman
OF the joint committee.
"our votes in the committee were
consistent with our votes cast when
the tax rider was considered in the
house and senate" said Mr.. Rosenber.
ger.
The failure OF the committee to
reach n decision and the announced
intention of the majority not to make
any recommendation to the Legislature
indicates the death OF prohibition, sc
far as submission this session is con
cerencd.
There Is little probability of the
senate receding from It's position In
favor Of the tax rider. and even lesi
chance OF the house concurring in the
senates amendments to the prohibl
ton resolution.
A second conference committee
would not be apt to have any greater
success than the present one.
