 VO1eS For Iaylf BlH

l Il am greatly gratified that the bill l has passed and I think that it will not be long in conference. Tn my opinion there has been some stagna- 1 tiOn Of business in the coutry pend 1 ing the action of the senate. Now l l believe that there will be an imme- diate stimulus to business and that in the end we will have better times <! in this country"
 Just before the voting on amend ments began, Senator La Toilette yielded few minutes of his time to Senator Thornton of Louisiana, who was about to desert his colleagues on the roll call.
 Tt is hard for me to vote against this biIl." said the Louisiana senator. Tt is a bill made a party measure by the party with which I cast my allegiance forty-six years ago. It is harder still that I am forced to vote against it because my own party seeks now to strike vital blow against the sugar industry in my State'
 The income tax amendments of BristoW and La Toilette, similar to those they introduced several days ago, were defeated by votes of 61 to IS and 6 to 16, respectively The amendment of Gallinger that pro posed to send the whole tariff ques- ton over until December, 1914, and submit q bill to a popular referendum next fall was defeated 63 to 16.

 After the vote La Toilette said:
 T realize that what I did was pOli- ticaI sacrifice but that within me com- pelled me to vote for the bill. The tar if act of 1900 is but little short of a crime: the bill passed today is not democratic measure, but a protective measure Every change of the finance committe was made by way of adjust ment to a protective basis, except such as free wool and free sugar which was determined upon the outside.
 Give. the democrats time and they would put everything on a free trade basis, but it is not done in this bill"
 POindeXter said:
 T voted for the bill because as a whole, it is a better bill than the Payne -Aldrich law now in force. Fur thermore, it contains the income tax which we have been trying to get for twenty years
 Some rates are too high and some to loW,-but the general average on the manufacturers is high enough It's classification is far from scientific, but not more so than the existing law"
 The final passage was by vote of A to 37.
 The president issued tonight the fol- lowing statement:
 The fight for the people and free business which has lasted a long gen. eration has at last been won hand
