law are incorporated into provisions of this

law are incorporated into provisions OF thi:
bill.
In order TO overcome the objection
raised by the people of the northwest
counties of the state, like Lake, Porter
Pulaski. Laporte, etc, where the railroads
are so numerous that theypa nearly one
half OF the taxes, clause was in
| serted by the committee which
provides that where the rail
road tax of any county exceeds
an amount equal to 90 cents on the
500 valuation of the taxable property OF
the county, the excess shall be retained
by the county as local taxes.
In the afternoon the bill was considered
by section in committee of the whole
The state board OF tax commissioners as
reported in the bill was made TO consist OF
two tax commissioners, the state auditor,
and treasurer and governor.
Mr.. \Hench offered an amendment,
which was adopted, adding the secretary
OF state 20 the board. To leave him out,
Mr.. Hench said, would be an Insult to
Secretary Mathews.
Mr. Kern offered as an amendment TO
sec. ii the features of his bill compelling
merchants to invoice their stocks in April
of each year and file with the assessor a
sworn statement of the result of such in
ventOry.
Mr.. Kern is a merchant himself, and
made strong argument in favor of his
amendment, saying that he knew from
personal experience that merchants were
cheating the farmers by not
paying their share of the taxes
The democrats had shouted for
equal taxation for thirty years and
here was an opportunity to make merch-
ants honest. IL meant two millions of
dollars OF additional revenue to the coun-
ties OF the state. 1t would lessen the
burden of the farmers that much. The
amendment was adopted
Mr.. Hench moved TO reduce the salaries
of the state tax commissioners from 81, 800
to $1,000. AS an amendment TO the
amendment Mr.. Glessner moved that the
salaries remain at $500 but that
the travelling expenses of each
commissioner be limited to 5000 year.
As amended by Mr.. Glessner. Mr.. Hench's
amendment was adopted. Mr.. Hench
then offered an amendment prohibiting
the tax commissioners from travelling on
railroad passes. 1t was rejected.
Mr.. Moss offered an amendment strik-
ing out that provision oompe ling the as
SCISSOR TO gather agricultural statistics. He
said that the returns of the assessors were
not reliable, and the whole thing was a
fraud. His amendment would save the
taxpayers nearly 100000.
Mr.. Work and other farmer members
also supported the amendment. 1t was
adopted every farmer voting for it.
The committee then rose.
Mr.. Cullop introduced bill authorizing
the governor to appoint three members of
the legal profession, one of whom shall be

1t appears that observation-disclosures
OF the reform school had requested the
governor to reappoint Mr.. Barnett, but
made no such request as to Judge Jordan.
Later he filed written protest against the
latter's reappointment. The governor
thereupon determined TO nominate
Messrs. Pee lie and Barnett, but Judge
Jordan protested against such a discrimi-
nation against him and flied a statement

Superintendent Charlton was not in

Jordan was seen, and stated that he was

among the educational institutions OF tive

the senate during the two hours that it
Was in session after the noon recess. Mr..
Hudson made another speech of consider
able length in behalf OF the bill, reiterating
his statements of the previous evening
that the traffic in cigarettes vas having a
demoralizing effect on the young.
Mr.. Burke thought that If cigarettes
were injurious so were cigars, and that
the bill should apply to both. He said

The Levy Court

At the afternoon session of the Levy
Court yesterday, the official bond OF
James II. SmaIley, collector OF taxes
for White Clay Creek Hundred forlSOG
was ordered satisfied, he having settled
In full with tho county treasurer.
Mr.. Gillis offered resolution asking
the court to grant to Wesley NJ. Il.
Church, white Clay Creek Hundred. the
Sunday school appropriation OF $40
as was allowed to all other schools
that made application. Wesley school
neglected to make application.
Mr.. Eliason objected to the resolu-
tion, as the appropriation for such
schools had all been exhausted. He
would like to SEQ the school get the
money, but 1t was SO clearly against
the law to give IL that bad precedent
would be established by granting It.
Mr.. Jolls made the same objection
and said that II Wesley were granted
an appropriation. he knew OF three
schools la st. Georges Hundred that
were overlooked and would want their
appropriation also. MI. Grubb, chair.

Schools, said that in tie past many
schools had been given their share az

tlons. Mr.. Gillis withdrew his resolu-
ton.

to enter satisfaction upon the official
bond Of William C. bigger. collector
of Pencader Hundred for the year 1870
he having settled in full with the coun-
ty treasurer. 1
NIr. Jolls offered the following which
was adopted after changing the date
from May 81 to June23:
"Resolved, That the receiver of taxoI
and county treasurer be, and is hereby,
requested and directed to demand In
taxes for the year 1890 the costs OF ex-
ecutlon on the official bond together
with interest on balances due from
June 90, 1891"
Mr.. Hutchlson did not think it
proper TO compel collectors to collect
interest on the taxes they collect, and
he did not think the taxpayer should
be compelled to nay taxos that were in
arrears. He did not think such q
thing had ever before been attempted.
Mr.. Eiiason said it hnd been and so
did Mr.. Grubb. The resolution was
passed.
MIR. Jolls then offered tho following,
which was adopted:
"ResUlvcd, That the attorney of
this court be, and he is hereby authorl.
zed to enter satisfaction upon the
official bonds OF the following collac-
tors OF taxes for the year 1891: Frank

Mr.. Jolls ola red the following, and
IL was adopted;
"Resolvcd, That tho sheriff of this
county he and he Is hereby directed
to charge In his bill the accrued costs
