General Roscndae has written an
opinion which, if sustained by the

gross earnings annually paid into the
state Treasury, by railroad, telegraph,
telephone, express and similar trans
portatAD corporations doing business
in 1h.0,tatc from 100000 to $500, 600.
The opinion was in answer to an In
curry of State Comptroller Campbell as
to his right to levy upon the corporate
franchises aud business in this State a
tax OF liyc-tenths of per cent. on the
earnings derived by such corporations
from the business of an interstate char
acter as we'll as upon earnings derived
from tho transportation of person. prop
crty. etc, begun and ended within this
State. The Comptroller was of the
opinion that such earnings for inter
state transportation as may be received
for that part of the transportation
within the state could be regarded by
him in making up the amount Of gross
earnings on which to estimate the an
nual tax referred to. The Attorney
General sustainS the position taken by
MIR Campbell in an exhaustive opinion,
and under tins construction If the law
the amount of annual taxes to be paid
into the State Treasury by the corpora
ton affected will be nearly doubled. The
express companies have agreed to abide
by the decision of tho Attorney Gen
eral, but the railroad corporations have
so far failed to accept this construction
and will undoubtedly contest the mat

GEORGE w. SCoTT, observer Of the
Weather Bureau Station at lankton,
invented an improved ancmometer reg
lister about two months since, which re-
cords the movement of wind for seven
days instead of one day, as is done by
the instruments now in general use.
The new register requires the attention
of the observer ouly once week in
stead of every day. as with the old one.
This register is especially adapted to
stations at high attitudes. on mountains
or monuments, to show the velocity Of
the upper currents. MIR. scott sent a
drawing of his Improvement to c. +.
Marvin, in charge of the instrument
room of the department. at the central
Office, Washington, ID. C.. who wa' SO
favorably impressed with Its value that
he joined with Mr. Scott aud had a reg
lister constructed according to the draw
ings, which, after repeated tests both
at Washington and here, is found to be
perfectly practical in its workings. The
department is now having some of the
improved registers manufactured for
use at stations.
