Oates’ Hill to Repeal Ten Pee Cent. Tax.
Tlio committee on hanking and cur
rency of the house had a hearing Fri
day morning' on the Oates bill for the
repeal of the ten per cent, tax on state
banks. The Oates bill varies from tho
others in that it simply “suspends” the
tax as to all notes issued to circulate as
money, provided there shall first be
deposited with the state treasury, or
other state depository, an amount
lawful money of tho United
States or solvent bonus of the par
value of the state or municipalities,
equal to the aggregate amount of
notes proposed to be issued, which
shall be held as security ;and provided,
also, that the aggregate amount of
such state bank issues shall in no case
exceed $5 per capita of the population made
of the the state. Colonel Oates
an elaborate argument in favor of his
bill, which he said mantained federal
supervision, with limitation of what had
been declared by the courts to be a
lawful federal tax.
Itnranrs «f ('«mpro*nHi*.
A Washington special says that
promise talk was started Friday. Sen
ator Gorman was with the president
and Secretary Carlisle Thursday night,
He told them plainly that it would be
impossible to pass unconditional re
peal through the senate, Mr. Cleve
land, however, was not disposed to
give up. Hi; IniH never yet said he
would agree to a compromise. He
says in his message lie stated tiis views
and prefers to make no additional
statement to that in his letter to Gov
ernor Northern. Benntor Gorman
and Voorhees, the unconditional
repeal leaders, realizing that the
qnestion must be settled, and that
the only way to do it is by a comprom
ise, began making overtures to the
silver men. They suggested a com- Mis
promise to Senators Cockrell, of
souri, and Teller, of Colorado. These
senators were closeted for several
hours and agreed that they could get
together on the line above indicated.
All day Saturday small
were in progress and senators of both
factions are disposed to get together.
Nothing definite has yet been agreed
upon, but on all sides thc disposition
is to get together and settle the con
test. _______________
