| houses today, the senate following the
! killing of the Trammell bill by passing
the senate committees substitute by
| twenty seven to three, claiming IT is

ure. Representative Taylor, OF Mad

passed by Former Representative A. j.
| Angle in 1911 and vetoed by Governor
| Gilchrist, which provided for the inn
mediate abolition of the sistem.

tenn and put convicts In the hands of

or senate bill, while Taylor Farris,
MacWilliams Kite. Floyd and An
drews spoke for immediate abolition.

senator's this afternoon promised To
vote for the abolition bill and that q
majority will do so. Speaker Farris
says: "Tf we are going to abolish, let's
do 1t now"
Spencer, who introduced the COVER
nor's bill, favors the senate measure
in preference to the Angle bill, saying
the state is utterly unable to immedi-
ately finance the change. II is be-
lieved the governor will sign the An

date announcement by congress OF
such intention. They explain that this
is absolutely essential in order that
contracts may be made on that basis
and raw materials purchased with that
understanding.
OF almost equal Importance was the
suggestion brought to Senator Sim
nom by Secretary Redteld that the
levy on incomes be laid only on those
accrulng after July 1, 1913, and not be
ginning with Jan. 1 of this year. This
would defer the gathering of an income
tax for six months. The plea is ad-
yanced that an attempt to tax incomes
accruing after Jan, /, 1913. might be
regarded as retroactive legislation and
be pronounced unconstitutional by the
supreme court.
Winfred Il. Denison, assistant attor-
ney general, and James +. Curtis. as

an amendment of ~farreaching impor-

fore Chairman Underwood Of the ways
and means committee. 1t has the in-
dorsement Of the attorney general and
the secretary of the treasury. There
Is a possibility that 1t may be approved
by the finance committee and presented
in the senate before debate begins.
Under the proposed amendment the
secretary of the treasury would be
given authority to proclaim the dutia-
bic value of any merchandise as finally
decided by the appraisers in case of no
appeal to be the dutiable value. But
whenever in the judgment of the sec

cision Of the federal courts in Ohio
that the company's contracts with 800
local exchanges throughout Ohio. In
diana and Illinois are In violation OF
the Sherman law. The contracts bind

FAVOR MEETING II
OF COMMITTEE
Republican Leaders Confer
at Washington.
NO DECISION IS REACHED

Question Of Calling a National Con-
vention OF the Party Late This
Year ls Left to the Full COMMITTEES
Cor Settlement.
Washington, May REMEMBERS of
the Republican national executive
committee assembled here to take
stock of the party since the Novem.
Der defeat, look over the field for the
future and determine whether a meet.
Ing OF the national committee should
be called to consider the ~advisabiIity
of holding a special national conven-
ton.
When the committee met IL had a
memorial from the Cancellation com.
mittee of Republican Progressives,
headed by Senator Cummins, appoint
ed as a result of the recent Chicago
conference. This formulated a request
that an early meeting of the national
committee be called and included a
statement Of reforms proposed at the
Chicago conference.
Upon the merits OF proposed re-
forms. the executive committee does
not pass. AS far as contemplated re
organization plans are concerned, the
only thing the committee may decide
is whether to call the national com-
mittee.
Convention Mo- Necessary.
Many leaders assert that a conven-
ton Is not necessary to carry out con
templated reorganization plans; that
the committee car enact them. The
Progressive Republicans, however, In
sist a convention is necessary.
The question of choosing delegates
by state primaries was not discussed
at length. Chairman Hilles and some
others ~contended that a congressional
district should be allowed to choose
its own delegates I'm any way it saw
At.
THE party has insisted upon the
right OF congressional districts to SCI
lect their own delegates and a re-
versal OF that policy would foist the
unit rule upon u.s." said Chairman
Hilles.
After several hours discussion the
executive committee tentatively agreed
to call a meeting OF the national com
mittee sixty days after the adjourn
ment OF the extra session of con-
gress to determine whether a national
convention shall be called to consider
changes In the basis Of representa-
ton.
