making this decision the court added:
"If the government of this state lias

BANK TAX REPEAL IN THE HOUSE
Free Lead Defcatcd-Minneapolis to
Provide Work for the Un
employed. Associated Press.
Washington, May 2t5.--Sehator Hill,
of New York, made his speech today
attacklngt Uie (proponed duty of 3-4
cent per pound on lead ore and lead
silver bearing ore, and a general ar
raigning of his colleagues for their re
fusal to stand by the Democratic doc
trine of free raw materials.
The bill, he said, was not satisfac
tory to other Democrats on this side of
the chamber, and if the senator from
Maryland (Gorman) the other day In
tended to Infer that there was Demo
cratic unity on this bill he had exceed
ed his authority. The bill would not be
satisfactory to him, so long as it con
tained one remnant of popullsttc in
come tax. Still, he thought it the duty
of Democrats not to defeat It, but to
modify and pass it. Hill proceeded to
explain that he had voted against Tell
er's motion to table the bill because he
did not desire to kill the measure before
It was fully considered and an honest
effort had been made to modify It. He
had votad the other day to pluce iron
ore on the free list. His vote stood
solitary and alone, so far as Democratic
votes were concerned. He did not an
ticipate that the motion he now made
would be carried, but It ought not to re
quire any argument to convince the
senate that lead ore should go on the
free list. The- Democratic party stWid
pledged to It. Lead ore wa a raw ma
terial, and the party was committed to
free raw materials.
The motion was defeated by 3 yeas
to 52 nays.
