little confused and wanted to get my
senses together. so l thought l would
put 1T over until this morning.
didn't know whether anyone else be-
sides myself was interested in it, b'it
find that there are plenty interested
in it. When this bill came in some
time ago there was a good deal Of
discussion as to the proper committee
before whom it should be heard, and
after considerable discussion it was
committed to the two committees OF
Banks and Rankings, and Taxation.
Now, after an exhaustive hearing be-
fore that joint committee, where
both sides were ably represented. the
committee reported that the bill
ought not to pass. Now. the motion
is to substitute the bill for the re-
port. AS | say. 1 cannot speak OH the
merits Of the question because it has
not been presented to the House, and
I shall. of course, have to wait
unit; the other side sees fit to p,:t in
its case. But l sincerely trust and
assume that the House will vote 10
sustain the committee unless there
are some arguments produced to the
contrary. l hope that the vote will
be No on this motion.

the question of the substitution OF the

substitute was lost and the report of
the committee ought not to pass was
accepted.
