ISOLATED Press.)-Lady Astor, tug

fort to induce him to stop speaking
so that she and her liquor bill
might have the right of way, sent
the house of commons into peals
of laughter last evening in which
the grave speaker was obliged to
join. D,
The opportunity of finishing the
final stages of her measure had
arisen, and Lady Astor was eagerly
hoping that the house could get to
it if only she could placate Sir Fred
erick, who is a sworn opponent OF
her bill. and who, incidentally, looks
with disfavor upon the admission of
women to parliament, although he is
personally friendly to the member
for Sutton.
AS the time approached for con-
sideration OF her measure, Lady AS
tor took a seat on the step at Sir
Frederick's feet. He, however, was
well warmed up to the debate on the
agricultural credits bill, and paid no
attention to the pleadings she adj
dressed to him.
Displaying great impotence, Lady
Astor finally tugged at his coat tail.

That he will subordinate other
affairs of state until the question
of taxation has been met satisfac.
torily, or until a satisfactory solu-
ton of the problem is in sight, was
indicated Monday morning by Gov
ernor Clifford M. Walker. Certain.
ly the problem is uppermost in the
mind of the governor, and he be-
lieves its solution depends upon q
combination of harmonious coop

after Reaching his office Monday
morning. 81 feel a deep concern
in the disposition of the tax ques-

purpose to give to the m my ear

Governor Walker intimated that
while there are many other matters
in which he feels an interest and
concerning which he believes there
is room for Improvement, he does
not believe it wise or expedient to
bring them forward at this time.
Although the governor ref lined
from discussing his message, which
will be ready for the general assem-
bly, not later than Thursday, it Is
believed that he will dwell Upon the
Importance of care and study in
arriving at settlement of the tax
question. 1t is not unlikely that
he may suggest the creation of a
representative, non-political COM
mission to investigate the question
along with joint committee from
the assembly.
The governor, it is said, realizes
that such commission could not
make a full investigation and for

an extra session of the assembly. for
The consideration solely of taxation,
is not unlikely. 1t is understood
that the governor appreciates this
fact fully and stands entirely ready
and willing to assume full respon-
sibility for an extra session. He Is
said to believe that the end would
justify the means and more than
compensate the state for the addk-
tiopal expense.
