1 .WAR TAX REPEALED. ;
Washington, Feb. 17. The unex
pected happened in the House today,
when thetbill to repeal the war revenue
taxes was passed unanimously, with
out a word of debate. This '"action, was
thei outcome of a challenge, thrown
wti by; Richardson, the minority
leader, after adopting by a stric.t party
ote'-a special order for the consider
ation of the bill which permitted the
debate upon It until 4 o'clock tomorrow
afternoon, but cut off all opportunity
of. offering amendments, except such as
had been agreed upon by. tne ways ana
Means Committee. . The .adoption ,of
the rule had been preceded by a stormy
debate. In the - course of which, the
Democrats protested against the appli
atlon of the - "gag" rule which iay
(Virginia) charged,' was meant5 to pre
vent free expression, not 6nly "by Dem
ocrats but by some of the Republicans,
attention being especially " directed to
ward Babcock (Wisconsin), father of
the bill, to amend the steel schedule of
the nresent tariff law. They also
charged that such a method of proced
ure waa minimizing the Influence of
the i-House, and making It simply a
machine to register the decree of the
few men in control.
When, the rule was adopted by a vbt
of 158 to 120, Richardson, to emphasize
the fact that the debate on thefblll
could 'accomplish nothing, and that
deliberation upon It would be fruitless.
asked unanimous consent that the bill
. n1ti(1 ii r on Its rnntuep. Kot art
objection was voiced, and the vote wasj
taken forthwith- Kvery vote. 278 in

PROPOSED REMEDY,
If the Governor may truthfully be

"The lest one. If It can be haal.

that proportion to be ascertained? Is

we must have assessors, and an assess- I

If the Governor had suggested some
