 Delivers Castigation
 Rising to point of special priv ilege, Egan delivered a castigation of McCutcheon which brought a round of applause from House members including McCutcheon himself.
 MT McCutcheon, Egan said, is constantly directing sneering remarks toward other members of this House and attempting to in- suit them and belittle their rights as members to do whatever they think best for the people of AL aska. I resent this, not only when it is directed at myself but when it is aimed at any other member. MT McCutcheon forgets that the voters elected "A Representatives to this House; he wants to run the whole thing himself
 Wearied with their long efforts over H. B. 90, the House adjourned soon after adopting the amend ment which made the bill inopera- tive.

HOUSE DkILIES
 OVER LOTTERY
 TAX; KILLS N

The House of Representatives spent the major part of yesterdays afternoon session worrying away at II. B. 90-to levy tax on rallies, pools and lotteries and finally worried it entirely away.
 The original bill, introduced by Rep. McCutcheon--no follower of Henry George provided for a 20 percent tax on all lotteries, pools and rallies, without exception.
 First amendment adopted by the House excluded fraternal and char itable institutions, while the next amendment dropped the tax to 10 percent instead of 20. Motions were made and voted on to indefinitely postpone the bill, to lay it on the table. to hold it over until today, and to hold it over until March 21, and all of them lost, most of them by 12-l2 vote.
 Amendments were offered and rejected, ana the afternoon dragged on Other amendments were offer ed and adopted, and the afternoon dragged on and on Still other amendments were offered and adopted and the action was later rescinded, and the afternoon drag ged and dragged.
 In all the House adopted five amendments. rejected four and answered the roll call II times on the bill
 Final Amenument
 The final amendment adopted offered by Rep. w w Laws, read: Strike all of line g." It was quick ly adopted by a 12-ll vote, l ab- sent. Line was the enacting clause and without it the bill was worth less.
 During the discussion of the amendments, Rep. Steve McCutch- con again uttered the non sequitur which is becoming the classic of the Eighteenth Session. Rep. Hopes, he said, lis always scream ing about economy and wanting to cut down; yet he refuses to help pass any tax bills
 Rep William Egan said that he was against the bill and the tax. Tt is more Of @ nuisance tax than anything else he said, and added: Some people keep complaining
