moved TO amend the order of proceed
ure Oy striking out the provision for
an automatic adjournment at o.
clock. This was agreed to without
objection. There was no effort to
reach an understanding as TO the hour
but the general feeling was that
whether early or late, the measure
should he disposed of before leaving
the senate chamber. 1t had been sup
posed that much time would be con-
sumed in the discussion of the tobac-
co tax. but even before that item
was reached, II had been arranged
that there would be comparatively lit

"a judicial man, of great mind and
OF great heart / have no sentiment
of opposition to the pending pToposi-
tion because Of its source. On the
contrary, look 10 il as of the highest
respectabllity,'
Mr.. Bacon suggested that the Nir-
ginla senator change his plans for
taxing corporations to make IL apply
also TO corporations that have gross
receipts OF more than 100000 annual

sisted Mr Bacon.
"The senator from Georgia always
has the attention Of the chair. II he
will state his point of order" replied
Vice-President Sherman In suaye
tones that suggested harmony.
"I don't wish 10 be considered as
chiding the chair" replied Mr. Ba-
con. but 1 do insist on a right 20

were gently laid on the table and
there was no further suggestion OF
any runle on the senatorial waters.

ton tax amendment were quickly dis
posed OF in the same way.
The corporation tax amendment, as
perfected by the committee, then was
agreed to. and Mr.. Aldrich announced
that. with the exception of the tobac-
co tax, the bill was perfected so FAR
as committee amendments were con-
