body was called to order he arose
and said he had been prevented from
attending the preceding sessions OF
the senate. He declared that had he
been present Thursday afternoon he
would have voted for the national pro-
hibition amendment and its ratifica-
ton and he asked that his vote be so
recorded on the minutes of tho jour
nal, which was done.
Senator Garrett, chairman of the
finance committee, presented a bill to
appropriate the sum OF $4,000 TO re-
plenish the contingent fund of the
governor, the same having been ex-
hausted in renting and eQuipping the
old Davis house as a place for the
officers of the state, who had been
scattered in various buildings at an
expense far in excess OF the costs en-
tailed by the change. on his motion,
the bill was taken up, the rules were
suspended, and 1t was agreed to with
out g. dissenting vote.
The Matter of Taxes.
Under the terms of a bill already
presented to the senate by Senator
West, OF Suffolk. there is provision for
reduction OF the state rate on intangi-
bles and capital invested in business.
The rates at this time are sixty -five
ana seventy -HVe cents, respectively
and Senator West wants to reduce this
to the recommendation made by the
governor, fifty cents on each classic
cation. He would allow the localities
of the state to receive the same rate
as is proposed for the state, Atty cents
on each classification. He says that
such a step would increase the reve-
nues of the cities and towns. which
have been seriously affected by
changes made last session. Senator
West tnclines to the belief that the
suggested change will be satisfactory
to all hands and prevent the cities
from running behind.
Rccesses to Monday.
On motion of Senator Andrews. the
senate agreed to meet next Monday
at noon when the adjournment for
the day WAS taken. He did not state
reasons for such action. but IL ap-
psared to meet the favor of the sena-
tors. many of whom possibly will want
to arrange private affairs before set
Ting down for the grind OF the re-
naming days of the session. Many of
the members living nearby or within
striking distance OF home, left in the
afternoon to remain over till Monday
morning.
The senate received and accepted
an invitation to unite with Lee camp,
Confederate veterans in divine ser
vices at the First Baptist church to-
morrow.

Little to DO.
The senate had little to engage its
attention yesterday, though the hour
for assembling was 10 o'clock. The
announce the vote cast in the guber
material election for state officers was
the business for the day, and that pro-
caediag consumed three solid hours
OF the time of both branches. Why
this cumbersome method OF compil-
Ing the vote, no one knows, but II is
the language of the constitution. The
secretary OF the commonwealth could,
were the law changed, tabulats the
vote and have 1t ready for the menu
bers when they get there, but the law
directs that the legislature in joint
session shall open and canvass the re-
turns.
The Rev. Claggett Skinner opened
the session with prayer yesterday and
the routine business consumed less
than ten minutes. The clerk read a
communication from the faculty of
