manipulation of policies and new

he kept his credit good-a credit made
possible through a perfect system OF

The decision of the conferees to
drop Senate amendments proposing a
tax of $11e a gallon on all fruit

was vigorously attacked in the Senate,
today. by Senator Pomercne. He de-
elared that if the provision were drop
ped. he would make a fight on the
floor of the Senate against approval
of the conference report.
He maintained that only the patent
medicine manufacturers who use the
cheapest sweet wines would suffer
from the tax and objected to post

tax until the next session Of Congress
on the ground that il would relieve the
California producers Of the tax for a
