 CHICAGO, Jan. Prophets who foredoomed Chicago to ob- scurity as money mart have revised their guesses.
 La Sale Street-grain capital, public utility center and the home of one of the worlds fastest growing financial exchanges-has begun to assert itself at the fam fly council with Wall Street and Mincing Lane.
 Outer manifestations of a pros porous maturity began to appear along the street dozen years ago with the erection of the Contin- ental and Commercial Bank, the Federal Reserve skyscraper and the monumental Illinois Mer- chants Bank Building.

Not long ago the stock exchange signalized "a phenomenal awakening by moy- ing into the new State Bank building. 4
 During the upswing of the great bull market the first six months: of last year, the Chicago Exchange boomed along with the remarkable orgy in stock buying and selling and the first six months business of 1928 consti- tuted a record.

 Ninety-three years ago Chi eago's first bank set the style by taking rooms in La Sale Street building, but it was the building of the Board of Trade in 1883 that set the forces of gravity definitely working in the streets favcr.

an appropriate name to describe an

Machines which flew and landed

as 'seaplaneS." And when the
plane capable OF landing on water
or land was invented the name
"amphibian" came easily TO the de-

proposal as part Of the farm bill,
holding its inE.rtion In the legisla-
ton by the ysnate violated their
chambers exclusive privilege OF
initiating revenue legislation.
Different View
Some senator's take a different
view of the debenture plan. argu-
ing 1t is not revenue legislation IN
the constitutional meaning, but
practically all concede that II its
advocates are successful in their
present effort, a long drawn out
controversy with the house is in
prospect. Administration leaders
are counting on that prospect, In
view of the wheat situation and
the feeling that early enactment or
the legislation will relieve 1t, 20
add the necessary two or three
votes to their strength TO defeat
the plan.
The proposal was put into the
bill by a vote of Al to A. A few
shifts will keep IL out Of the con
ference measure, and the admins
tration group already claims az
least one gain. Senator Kendrick,
democrat. Wyoming. who is not in
Washington but left instructions to
pair him in favor of the bill with
some members of the debenture
group who will not be able to take
part in the voting. He voted with
the debenture advocates on the
former ballot.
The outcome Of the revived con-
test is recognized as doubtful by
both sides. and their leaders are
making every effort to keep their
forces in line and ready to vote.
Few. however. expected a vote 10
be possible today. believing the dis
cussion would carry the decision
over into tomorrow at earliest.
House to Act
The house, meanwhile. was called
upon TO act today on the confer
ence report on the census-reappor-
tionment bill. Although the mea-
sure was the subject Of sharp con-
troversy in that chamber last week
and its conference committee ac-
cseded to the senate's desire to be-
gin the census in November. this
year. instead of May. 1880. few
obstacles appeared in the way Of
acceptance of the report.
