One of the principal bills upon the
senate calendar now for considera-
ton is the proposed Tax Commission
bill, and it Is reported many of the
senators who were originally for the
measure will now vote against 1t be-
cause of the universal protest that
has been mad against the provisions.
Members of the temporary commits
sion that drafted the bill have been
at the state house trying to influence
members to support the bill and at
tempting to discredit the petitions
signed by thousands of farmers, but
Iare meeting with little success. Sen
ators who had originally intended to
vote for the bill say it would be po-
litical suicide to fly in the face of the
hundreds of constituents that have
appealed to them to vote against the
measure. While it was at one time
believed the bill might pass the SEN
ate, that is extremely doubtful now.
