They plan to complete j their revision of thc house bill by to morrow night. The cemmittco will have beforo it tomorrow a sub-committoe recom mendation that the proposed tax of $2 a thousand on bank capital and surplus be eliminated and that there bo substituted a Kamp -tax on cheek?, drafts, certificates of deposit and other negotiable paper. Thc tax of deposits, etc., two cents for each $100. From this, it is e-rtiniated, tho rev enue would be about $10,000,000 u year: ' It was al sq, agreed to retain the proposed increased tax of fifty cents S' barrel of beer in tbe house bill with. the understanding, however, that a further increase of 2G cents might be made should the committee find lt necessary to raise more revenue after it has completed consideration of all sections of tho bill. Tho proposed tax of 20 cents a gal lon on sweet domestic wines nnd 12 cents On dry wines, the committee agreed to revise, retaining the house rate on sweet wines, but reducing tho dry wine tax to 8 cents. "The committee's action on gasoline and automobiles occasioned consider able surprise, as the general expecta tion had been that an automobile tax would bo substituted for the gasoline tax. The one cent gasoline will bring revenue amounting to $10,000.000. The proposed SO cents per horse power on automobile sales will not ! effect persons owning automobile? but will he levied only on Bales. There; ls a provision, however, that whenever ' a manufacturer already bas contracted to sell automobiles at a certain price,' thc tax shall bc paid by the Jobber or dealer. .

A BRILLIANT EFFORT AT SPECIAL SERVICE HELD LAST NIGHT A STRONG SERMON _ - Rev. J. W. Speake Made Creal Plea for the Young People of The Community. God hus planted in the heart of Mr Speake peculiar feelings ot sympathy, Interest and love for young people. The effect of God's work in him was shown last night |n lils appeal to Ute young pooplo and their response to his plea. Luko 19:14 wa? brought to us-Sin and its grasp upon tho youug pcopla on youth in its beginning. Youth in j buoyancy of youth doesn't feel Its need to go in tho strengt h of the Lord The soul, the heart, tito mind ls tue hattie ground whore the two powers of tho universo wago tho greatest hut tie that has over boen fought Thc young lifo is played upon by Kin and this should concern us. God calls and challenges us to right while sin is trying to pull us down. So many of our youtli aro swept out hy the world into' worldliness. Nat worldly things, not things of lifo? but spiritual y things that are lasting, should concern our' children,. - Tho' youth's spirit of Investigation, "to know things" causo many of - our j youth to step Into impurity, to stop into boll. In short Mr- Speake, In a message eplritual and powerful, brought out tho .youth's relation to God, the youth's relation to youth, and tbe youth's attitudo before the world Unless In our youth wc know tho vis. ?tatlon of God's power we shall never I attain unto tho heights we could have won through preparation. Young peoplo brought into the right and true who arc. rosily a vital part of tho right arc by conscience and right accept ing new principles, walking by new rules toward new ? Ideals, choosing I helpful paths, leaders, and com paie - ons. They evidence good principles by good practices, out in tho world before fellow youth. Tho walk In the Spirit ls not accomplished without conflict, but tho'^lovo of God in tho hearts of our young peoplo changes tho eu tire life. The eurest1 ovidonco of tho spiritual lite m our. young poo plo. is our entire dedication Of ourself I to; God and if ull'?f our-yoong people1 willoi wet themselves against flin of ' tho world, strive against lt bi them selves and la tbs places wli?r? 'thby livo and associate, how happy it would bo for. our town arid our churches. Dedication ot ourselves to | God,; followed by the fruits ot'the Spirit would make us always agree ahin. one to another, as well as hap-: py in ourselves and triumphant in the j battle against ?lh in our town, in our" own homes. Very anxious are we that our young people be able .to take UP tho affairs of our church, the af fairs o' home life, lue affairs of youth God made, our young pooplo to^glve j music ot God's mind to tho world. Unless wo become passivo instru ments of God; wo will never become what God would have us do. God gives to youth divine love and God's youth will unconsciously exhibit It to tho world-reflect God's light to the world.
