Flax Duty Fight Threatens New England Linen Industry
The Ways and Means Committee resists a proposed tariff rise on raw flax, arguing it hurts the small American linen sector. The duty would raise costs without expanding flax cultivation, which remains labor intensive and dependent on foreign fiber. European flax yields finer product, while U S mills struggle with limited supply. The linen industry, already burdened by raw-material taxes, seeks removal of hindrances to secure home-grown supply and protect related shoe-thread production.

Was It A Legal Quorum In Idaho Admission Vote
Democratic members challenged Reed's quorum count as 199 members unrecorded, with 129 Republicans in favor and one Democrat against. Speaker Reed declared the bill passed, leaving the legality of the House action to be tested by courts after Senate action. The issue centers on whether 130 voting members formed a legal quorum to enact legislation affecting Idaho Territory and its people.
