week the bill will be reported out by
the committee on excise and fees. But
unless its report comes very early
which is unlikely. no place on the cal
endsr will be given the measure
earlier than Friday. Attendance is
usually scant on this day. The man
ayers of the bill want TO put every
assemblyman on record, and they will
likely maneuver the bill over.
The committee is claimed by the
vets by one of two votes. That they
will get committee report TO kill the
bill Is disputed by the drys, who be-
lieve the committee will return the
measure without recommendation, as
is sometimes done when a committee
is evenly divided.
w. r. Evjue, author of the bill,
makes no forecast of the results on
the floor beyond stating that he ex-
poets close vote and that he is hope
full of winning. The fate of the bin
seems 10 be in the hands of half
dozen members. whom neither side
has so far heeu able 10 put on record
