GATE FIGHT AT MEETING
THIS MORNING.

A strong report circulating the lob
bies last night was to the effect that
no agreement had been reached be-
tween Governor elect Stuart and the
house finance committee on the hank
deposit tax bill, and that a fierce fight
would take place on the floor of the
committee, which meets this morning
at 10 o'clock at the capitol.
Although the report could not be
confirmed it came from sources not
to be doubted. and it further said that
Governor Stuart's efforts tor secure
amendments has been for naught.
Saturday reports were current that
the differences had been patched up
between the committee and Mr.
Stuart, but the latest report declared
this to be untrue: that the committee
stood its ground and would to the fin
ish stand by the Weaver hill as al
present constituted 1t further de-
clared that the business interests OF
the State were at such point that
drastic steps We're necessary. and the
legislation proposed by MFR. stuart is
wholly inadequate TO meet the pres

The meeting of the finance commit
tee will begin promptly at 10 O'Clock
and many bankers and business mer
are expected to appear TO hetT

must be taken at once to relieve this
situation is conceded by all The bill

State tax on bank deposits from 81
cents on the $iO0 to two cents and
the elimination of the city tax, which
is $40
Mr. Stuart held a. conference with
the committee and objected to the
heavy cut in the tax rate, but statee
that some cut should be made 1t was
thought in this way that an agreement
had been reached and that 1t was only
a question of figures but later devei.
