The bill was reported back from the Finance Com- 

 mittee in the Senate, May 12, with many amend- 

 ments, some of which were of great importance and 

 became the subject' of long discussion. One such 

 amendment was a provision for levying an excise 

 tax on corporations, which brought up the income- 

 tax issue, and led to a renewal of the controversy on 

 the constitutionality of an income tax. The propo- 

 sition, varied in many forms, was defeated, except 

 as to those corporations engaged in refining sugar 

 and petroleum. Another such amendment was the 

 provision to issue $150,000,000 of legal-tender notes, 

 instead of interest-bearing bonds. This brought oil 

 a renewal of the old controversy over increasing the) 

 legal-tender paper of the Government and th<; 

 scheme for issuing bonds to retire those already in 

 circulation ; but the bond provision in the Housn 

 bill was retained, though the limit to the bond issue 

 was reduced. An amendment providing for postal 

 savings banks was rejected also. The tonnage tax 

 was stricken out; a succession tax on personal prop- 

 erty was adopted; a duty was levied on tea: a tax 

 was put upon mixed flour : and a provision for tho 

 coinage of the silver seigniorage in the Treasury,
