All tricks known to tho lobby wero practiced on thoj Assembly threats, promise of patronage, personal friendship, the \folkB back homo\ and every other endeavor conceiv- able Jn the way of putting some- thing Kdwnrd J. over wau worked. Maher, president of tho Third Ave-nu- o line of New York and Leslie tJuthcrlandk the Yonkers magnate, were on tho ground curly buttonhol-in- g every member who was against the bills. When It looked as If they Were blocked and that there was no chances for the measures, the ef- forts of the lobby wero redoubled. Members were asked out In the cor- ridors to listen to supposedly con- vincing arguments, but tho argu- ments fell on many doaf care. Finally speakor Sweet announced that the voto would bo taken on the first of the measures, which was the \service at cost\ bill. Tho bill was beaten by 77 vQtes to 66 In their favor. Before the vote was taken and while members tasted against time In the chamber the real workers for the bills wero at work outside of the Assembly making last desperate at- tempts at rallying the votes. Assemblyman CJeonge N.

A tax on all Stock Exchange transactions equal to the (brokers' commission foaa 'been agreed on tentatively by Repub- lican mamfberti of the House Ways and Means Committee, as one way to ralao money for the soldier 'bonus legislation. Three, other levies for raising tho money similarly have (been adopted toy tho Republicans. These are a 1 per cent, levy on the final sales to consumers, a now levy on Incomes, probably on thoso In excess of $5,000, und an Increase of approximately 15 per cent, on existing taxes on and cigars. These four forms of taxes would re- main, in effect two yeajs, and tho Republicans estimate that, they would net about $1,000,000,000 for soldier re- lief. They will bo Incorporated in the legislation to be presented in tho House for adoption May 3. Committeemen said the-fln- al agree- ment on all details of tho Rellof Bill, Including the methods of taxation, were open to revision, ibut thoy pre- dicted that tho ifour-fol- d plan of tax- ation would not be changed. Treasury experts estimate, that ?i00,000,000 a year will bo raised by tho sales tax. $200,000,000 from tho Stock Exchange deals, $100,000,000 from a 2 per cent, tax on the part of Incomes exceeding $5,000, and $30,000,-00- 0 by tho 13 per cent, increase on to- bacco taxes. Committeemen declared that re- gardless of the form, the taxation ultimately would be borne by the con- sumer. The exact levy on incomes has not boon fixed, but members of the com-mltt- 'believe now tno levy will bo fixed at 2 per cent, on the amount of all incomes over $5,000. Rcpullcan leaders announced to- day that tho party caucus set for to- night had been postponed until April 30 because the uo idler relief measures were not in tho shape desired for con- ference prsentition. The \Insurgcnta\ announced that their stand against certain provisions of the foUl, and especially tho tax fea- ture, was unaltered.
