Heading toward a probable night session which may not even be terminated by midnight, the final day of the 18th extraordinary leg islative session today found the lawmakers counting fish and dol hrs; the former to determine if more of the latter could be ob- tained.
 An unfavorable report by the Ways and Means Committee of the House on the new Brunelle fish tax bill indicated, however, that no tax dollars were going to be obtained from that source. Six of that committee of eight members voted against passage of the Brunelle measure which would increase the tax from two dollars a thousand to three dollars with no exemption on trap-caught fish. Only Chair man Ed Coffey of the Third and Leo Rogge of the Fourth failed to concur in the committees rec ommendation Nell Scott of the Third, Victor Ross of the Fourth, ! George Lablin and Leonard Smith of the Second and J. P. Anderson and Harry Race of the First sign ed the report that the bill do not pass. Last night the committee spent many hours computing the number of salmon caught in traps
 Consider Poll Tax
 But fish wasn't the only subject bothering the Legislators as the sine die adjournment hour neared The school tax, or commonly called poll tax, measure which also had originated with Senator Brunelle, likewise was before the House for consideration as was brand new if and when scheme to bolster revenues. The latter is bill in- troduced by the special committee on Social Security authorizing the Territory to borrow money on bonds up to $500,000, if and when the Dimond bill passes Congress giving the Territory authority to issue such bonds.
 All three measures-fish tax, school tax and bond plan = were being considered by thu C House this afternoon as com mittee of the whore. There was indication that the school tax might meet approval. It amends the existing law requiring all males from 21 to 50 to pay five-dollar yearly school tax so that the age limit would be raised to 60; firemen now exempted, would be included as taxpayers and all women gain fully occupied would be required to pay the tax.
 House May Pass Bond Plan
 There also was some indication that the House might pass the bond bill but it was equally indi- cative that it would run into strong head winds in the Senate. The latter during the regular session frowned on the idea of supporting the Dimond bill with a memorial urging it's passage.
 While, as one lobbyist put it.

relying upon his personal prestige to
force the adoption of the measure.
That the President misjudged the
temper of the American people and

gress was Quickly made clear.
Through newspaper editorials. radio

men, whose loyalty 20 the American
system Of government transcribed
their loyalty to he mar who is their
party leader, hastened to organize
themselves for the purpose of defeat
ing the proposal.
What was it that caused thI~ amaz-
ing opposition to the plan of a leader
whose popularity was so concretely
demonstrated in the elections of last
November? Simply stated. it was be-
ause of the revelation that the Pres
ident,s plan, presented as a reform

a scheme to give the Executive COM

Associated Press Financial Writer.

NEW YORK, September 1.-THE
recovery flush of yesterday faded from
the stock market today and leading
issues relapsed l to around 4 points.
The drift was down from the OPEN
ing, with rails leading the reversal.
Coppers soon took turn for the worse
and steels were not slow in following.
Mild support appeared now and
then, but it was insufficient to do
more than moderately reduce extreme
losses in most cases. The list, how
ever, managed, on the whole, to close
above the low marks of the day.
Although the carrier wage con-
ference was still under way at Chi
cago, and Wall Street had thoughts of
compromise agreement, doubts arose
regarding the outlook for an i'm
mediate settlement.
News from both foreign and domes-
tic fronts was spotty and seemingly
lacked particular stimulation for
either the buying or selling sides.
Lack of bids and exceptional 'thin-
ness" of the market, brokers said.
were partly responsible for the set
back.
Dealings were comparatively slow
throughout, transfers being around
900, 900 shares.
Pending the nature of the Presi-
dents Constitution day address this
evening, many traders adjourned to
the sidelines.
Conspicuous stocks on the slide were

By the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, September 17.-sudden
late tumbles of September corn quo

5hs cents from maximum rise of
6A cents to new high price records
for the season.
The reaction followed delivery of
small lot of corn on September con-

month that single bushel had been
offered in settlement of outstanding
bargains, and in some quarters was in
terpreted as betokening a break in
