Stephen Pace is a resident of
Americas and is said by friends to
have been untiring in his efforts to

one Of the most important meas
ures passed during the session. Mr..

providing for the adjournment of
the legislature Friday sine die, but
the bill lacked the support of
sufficient number Of votes TO pass
it when presented.
The administration tax reform

hours of the assembly and the leg
islature refused to vote for the
measures favored by Walker
friends. The entire proposal of the

orem tax and special taxes imposed
