A Bil Which IL Likely to Create Great
tDiscussion.
OLYMPIA, March 5.-The long bill on rev
enue and taxation submitted today and
drawn by Hughes. of King, has occupied
the attention OF the joint committee on
revenue and taxation for nearly three
months. II provides . complete new code
ON that snbject-one believed to be q great
improvement on the old one Many
changes were made by the committee.
amongst the most important Of which are
The provision exempting church prop
erty is entirely stricken out.
Personal property Of a householder and
head of family shall be exempt in $500.
The section allowing deduction for debts
and mortgage debts incurred In good faith
is entirely oblsterated. The property Of
all persons IL therefore to be assessed for
its face value. This Is q change OF the
most vital significance.
The premiums OF insurance companies
are taxed at per cent.
The poll-tax ciaase-$2 for each elector
between Il and 80 years-was finally
stricken out by vote of to l.
The fiscal year for the purposes OF this
Law shall begin on April /.
County treasurers are required to turn
over 20 the state treasurer Is per cent OF
the state taxes Of the previous years levy
before January Is. and the remaining IS
per cent. before June 81.
Rights-of-way of railroads are assessed.
This would include the roadbed of the
Northern Pacific. Ii Is probable that o
light VIII occur in the House on almost
every one Of these provisions. with good
chance that some of them will not be ac-
eepsed, or that they viii be greatly modi-
fed
The prospect IL, however. that an entirely
different plan OF taxation viii be in vogue

A RAILROAD BILL.
Objections Urged Against Parkinson's
Measure.

Objections Urged Against Parkinson's
Measure.
OLYMPIA, March 5.-Thers is q serious
amount Of objection TO Parkinson's bill in
troduced several days since. granting to
the Fairhaven & Southern Railroad Com
pany the right to construct bridges across
the Nooksack. Skagit, Stillaguamish. Sno
homish, Duwamish. Puyaliup, Nisqually
ChehAlis. Lewis. White and Okanogan
rivers. 1t Is expressly provided by this bill
with no restriction whatever, except ~ to
means OF construction, that the com pany
may cross these several rivers ct any point
where they may be intersected by the line
of the railroad. The opposition to the bill
is based npon three things: 1t Is unneces-
sary. 1t is unconstitutional. II Is bad
public policy.
The bill is unnecessary because there Ia q
general law now especially granting TO all
railroad companies the right to cross the
navigahle rivers of the state.
The bill Is unconstitutional because IL is
in contravention to Section 8. Art. OF the
constitution, which says: mo law shall
be passed granting TO any citizen. class OF
citizens or corporation other than munich
pal privileges or immunities which, upon
the same terms. shall not equally belong TO
ali citizens or corporations" Again, it il
contrary TO Section %, Art. II. which spec
tally prohibits legislation granting corpor-
ate powers or privileges"
The bin is bad in policy because all rail-
ways should stand on the same footing
under general laws. The state should
keep power TO control the crossings and
not TO make grant with no more restric-
tons than are contained in the bill.
Ii Is understood that Governor Ferry
objects to the bill on the grounds stated,
and it Is altogether probable that it viii not
be pressed.
Senator Wooding now has bill in the
committee on highways. bridges and fences,
covering the ground in general terms.

FRISCO FAST TR GAINS.

The following important information
is taken from the GlObe-DamOcrat of
Thursday: General Manager Morrill,
and General Passenger Agent Wishart,
Of the Frisco, returned here yesterday
| from Chicago after a conference with
the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe man
agement concerning the passenger SER
vice from st. Louis to the far west. One
| Of the best results of the Atchison'S alb
sOrption of the Frisco will be a continu-
GUS fast service between st. Louis and
the Pacific coast. The Frisco main line
connects with the Santa Fe at Burton,
Kan, and commencing next Sunday the
Frisco night express from St, Louis will
haul a through sleeping car for San Di-
ego, and will connect at Burton with
the Santa Fe through car for San Fran
cisco.
The following Sunday the Frisco will
put on three fast trains to run daily be
tween St. Louis and western Kansas,
Colorado, San Francisco, Southern Cali
fornia and Mexico This will give to
the whole southwest system a new fast
service to the Pacific coast and the far
west. The st. Louis trains will con-
meet at Burton with the Santa Fe
trains, and through cars will be
runs to all leading points. The new ar
rangement will cause a saving in time of
four to eighteen hours between st. Louis
and the Pacific coast and the Kansas
service will be greatly accelerated. The
morning express from st. Louis will take
through passengers for Colorado points.
The new fast train for San Francisco viii
leave st. Louis in the evening, and it will
be followed by another fast train for
Mexico, Colorado and southern Califor-
MIA. There is no doubt that the new ser
vice viii attract through travel from the
east via ST. Louis, and the equipments
will, of sourse, be Of the most modern
and luxurious character for transconti-
mental journeying."
This action was anticipated. in fact it
was seen at once to contain the gist Of
the deal, but the fast trains for the direct
through service were not expected to be
put on until the gap from AuIlinville to
Dodge City shall have been closed. This
viii be done in the shortest possible time,
which accomplished, the route Will be
due west from Wichita via the Wichita
&, Western, instead of making the elbow
by way of Burton.

KANSAS PROSPECTS BEST.

Hon. R. E. Lawrence, of Wichita, is
on a visit east and writing from Saratoga
to friend here in regard to the crop
outlook in the country traversed en- route
he says: Il did not see a piece of wheat
coming east, after I left Kansas, that
would make half crop, many fields not
one-fourth-some would not make a
band Tell the farmers to hold their
wheat for 81 per bushel. And we must
have the elevator before fall, sure, so the
farmerscan hold the crop This empha-
sizes what the EAGLE has been telling its
readers right alongfor some time. Its an
i'll wind that blows nobody good, and
while Kansas commiserates the gloomy
prospects in other sections, she will but
exercise ordinary business prudence in
taking care to make the most Of the good
fortune of abundant harve5tS that are
now promised.

AN EDUCATIONAL CAMPAIGN.
From the Kansas City Gazette.

From the Kansas City Gazette.
The Fort Scott Monitor lectures the
newspapers of Kansas, especially the
Wichita EAGLE and the Gazette for al
legged lOOseness on the tariff. We have
had an experience in the last four months
concerning the tariff. something new and
probably the firstin Kansas, and we may
say something about it in few days
after we return from a visit. Perhaps
Ben Butterworth never knew anything
about the tariff, because in his great
speech he uttered the following:
But there is another to which | wish
to call your attention-the cooper indus
try.
Why, sir, there has not been a time in
two decades when my COuntrymen have
not produced copper as cheap As any
other nation in the world, and most of
the time cheaper. and vet we have these
people who. on an investment equaling
81 go. 900. have taken out over $50, COO
GOO in dividends in nineteen years, COM
ing and asking additional protection.
Applause.
VIII YOU tel why the duty on copper
should be continued! Why not make
copper free to all the people who are US
ing it in this country: Do you not know
that every electrician IN the country pc
titions to remove the duty on copper: Is
it necessary to protect this industry: Is
it an infant industry:
Why, Mr.. Chairman. it would be better
If we had taken every man connected
with that employment in the copper
mines. boarded them at the Fifth Avenue
Hotel and set them up in the banking
business for life
We have an idea that the people Of
Kansas know more about the tariff than
they did six months ago.

A VOICE FROM THE EAST.
NEW YORK. Nav q. 1890.

NEW YORK, May "a, 1890.
To the Editor of the Eagle.
All honor is due the journal and its
editor which has the wisdom and courage
to take a bold and manly stand in favor
of a long suffering people, against I'M
Just and unnecessary taxation.
The farmers, as a class, have been
great sufferers from this cause owing tc
lack of organization-the Farmers ALI
ances will remedy that hereafter. They
have not been the only sufferers, by any
means. but the great mass Of "bread
winners all over this land, whether de-
pending on mental or physical labor for
their daily bread, suffer even more than
the farmers; for if such fall into debt
and can not pay, there IS short shrift.
out they 90, there is no homestead. stay,
or redemption laws for their benefit.
The mechanics and kindred classes in
large cities have not suffered ike farmers
and others: when they find their wages
insufficient for their support they strike
promptly and compel an advance: but
think of the hundreds of thousands of
men and women outside these trades
unions who are equally oppressed, but
have not their remedy.
A business experience of over forty
years has shown me that there never has
been and never can be prosperity in this
country if the farmers are not
prosperous. and since the pan
ic of 1873 the only oasis
IN that long desert Of depression We're the
years 70. 50 and 81, when Europe pur-
chased so largely of our breadstutfs. And
during that dark period it IS well t. note
that the crop of millionaires never failed
neither biting frost nor scorching sun
interfered in the le3st-ike noXious
weeds they thrived in spite of all ad-
verse climatic influences.
1t Is TO be hoped the open revolt in the
Republican party against the corrupt in
huenceS which have controlled II OF late
years VIII triumph, and if it does l pre-
dict for 1t a new and successful career: a
gathering IN OF mugwumpS, Indepen-
dents, etc. who have Strayed from the

and political plunderers generally flock

as in days of yore.
1t is Creditable TO the men who have

the whole country.

sidered intrusive from a Republican Of
