certain of Il members, which, if true,
would give them an even break There
were rumors of deals floating about the
capital today, but they seemed to be
without real substance.
One OF these was to the effect that the
administration was willing to sacrifice
the income tax for the taxing machinery
and the coal and iron tonnage tax. Run
down, however, this rumor seemed to
have no real basis, despite the persist

were also rumors Of switching in the
lineup, of this man deserving the oppo-
sition and going over to the administra-

opposition.
One thing seems to be certain, how
ever, and that is that the revenue bill
will not be ready to be reported when

time one side or the other must have a
