Captured tom Lawson's" Mother

We have the pleasure this week of re-
porting splendid success achieved by the
hunting party, composed&of Messrs. b.
NJ. and W. G. Moseley and the noted
trapper, Isaiah Smith. These gentle>
men started for the Warm Springs Noun
tains on Tuesday, aweek, and returned
the following Saturday, having two fine
deer and some smaller game as the re-
suit of their skill as huntsmen. The
deer were sighted three miles east of
Hot Springs, at the head of Porter's y
creek En- route s'coon" track was dis
covered, and by careful searching, two
fat specimens were captured. During
their stay in The mountains the party
subsisted on coon and deer liver, which
they declare was the most toothsome
food they ever ate. Mr.. b. NJ. Moseley
is satisfied that one of the deer killed
was tom Lawson'sn mother, for the
reason that she bad no teeth in the
front part of her mouth, showing ads
vanced age. We return thanks to Mr.. Al.
for liberal supply of choice venison,
and congratulate him and all the mem
bers of his party on their fattering sue

REASSESSMENT BILL.
EX-SENATOR CROSS RESUMES HIS
ABLE ARGUMENT.
Unjust Taxation Has Made Trouble
Before-some Anti-Railroad
HallucinatIons Exploded.

The Senate Committee on Corporations
resumed its hearing on Assembly Bill
No. 10-Shanahan's "reassessment bnP'
at o'clock last night in the Senate
chamber
The lobby and galleries, as well as the
main floor of the chamber, were crowded
with legislators and spectators, many
ladies being among the latter.
Ex-senator Cross resumed his argu-
ment against the bill as soon as the com
mittee was called to order by Chairman
Carpenter.
Mr.. Cross began by saying that the
question of how to support and maintain
a government so far as finances are con-
cerned, and the fair portion of the bur-
den of maintaining good government,
which every individual and every prop
erty in the State or Nation should bear,
and the method by which that money
should be derived from its owner and
turned over to the Government for ex-
penditure. and for what purposes it shall
be expended, has been the basis of nearly
all great political movements.
No question had ever been more i'm
portant than this question of revenue for
the maintenance Of the Government. and
none had ever caused more trouble than
unjust or unequal taxation. It was the
cause of the American Revolution.
There We're some things in the bill
under consideration which made him
think that its author, Mr.. Shanahan, did
not understand what constitutes the
levying of tax and how a tax is levied.
How much tax should any one pay
hn sG..
Company pay for any given year? 1t
ought to pay such proportion of the State
taxes, and of the county through which
1t runs, as the value of the property rep
resented by the Southern Pacific Com
pany bears TO all of the property in the
State. If that company owns roads con-
stituting one-twentieth of the property of
the State, then that company should bear
one-twentieth of the taxes of the State,
and SO on.
But taxes must be levied as the organic
law has laid down. The Legislature
alone can order the tax; it is done BY
amendment every two years of a certain
code section. If the direction of the law
is not followed specifically, then the
effort is fruitless ana of no validity. All
men. in all time, have insisted, and will
insist, that the method prescribed for
laying on and collecting taxes shall be
followed. Except il is, there is an end of
orderly government and inalienable
rights are imperiled.
What was the use Of trying to levy a
tax by methods that have been declared
unlawful by our courts? In 1888 the
Code was amended in fourteen sections
respecting the assessment and collection
of railroad taxes. Those amendments
were supported by excited persons who
thought the railroad companies were not
bearing their share of the taxes. The
courts have been compelled every time
and everywhere that the methods
adopted were unlawful. Legislators
and popular orators may blame the

just after this action was taken, and

been treated fairly, as he wanted days

he could bring some anti-debris orators

Chairman Ford said the delay Mr.. Os-

declined to take the bill up again. He

tinued. ''and then I did not talk with
him about the Railroad Commission.

fifteen minutes.
1t was a cute move on Rea's part.
You will notice he did not mention my
name at all in the letter. He simply told
newspaper reporter that it was me to
whom the letter referred. There are no
specific charges against me.

night, which agreed to abolish the Rail

'And then, again, Rea wanted to be a
Judge in Santa Clara County, and l have
used my influence in every way against
his appointment. He sent his friends to
me to ask favors, but l would not listen.
This is only spite work on his part, and
if an investigation is had it viii only
show to what meanness Rea has de-
scended."
VANN RECoNSIDERED
His action in signing the committee re-
port OF the charges against Bretz, and
yesterday morning wanted to withdraw
his name from the report and submit a
substitute. But Shanahan raised point
of order that it could not be done at that
time. He would have to wait until the
printed reports came back to the Assem-
bly,, together with the evidence. The
point OF order was declared well taken
! by the Chair
! Vann refuses to tell why he wished to
withdraw his name from the report, but
it is understood he will try to ease things
for Bretz.
The printed reports were before the
Assembly late yesterday afternoon. Sew
eral motions were made to set a special
time for consideration of the report of
the committee, but were defeated. The
report will probably be considered this
morning.
Bretz is trembling in his boots in an
! ticipation of being bounced.

grew gradually warmer, reaching rs at
noon, while the highest of the day was
recorded at SIP. M, % above, 1t was a
fair day, no snow, and q bright sun In
the afternoon warmed things up gener'
ally. Ono noticeable feature in con,
nection with the comparatively warmer
days ia the resume OF building opera
tions seen all over the city. On build
ings left in an unfinished condition by
reason OF the recent extended blizzard
work was again started yesterday, the
noise Of hammer and saw ringing out
clearly on the clear air.
The melted snow continues to tall
from the roofs OF houses forming in some
places immense iclClRs, in some in
stances q foot thick and several feet
long. During the afternoon some OF
these big ones weighing fifty or a hun.
dred pounds fell to the ground, several
pedestrians having narrow escapes.
The situation along the river front re,
mains the same. The ice is now used
daily by hundreds OF people In crossing
to and from the Island, and is perfectly
safe, but Is not strong enough Tor teams,
as the driver OF team who yesterday
afternoon attempted 10 dive up along
side the steamer Il, L. Phillip, can tesli-
fy. When about twenty-five feet from
shore the ics gave way and the whole
outfit went to the bottom, which fortu-
nately was not as faraway as the regions
visited by that prehistoric individual
McGinty. The horse was rescued after
the ice had been broken to the shore.

Though the river men as a rule are
hopeful and look on the bright side Of
things, yet. it cannot be controyerted
that the river situation is critical in the
extreme. The Ohio, with the exception
OF air holes here and there, is frozen
solid from Louisville at the falls to
Pittsburgh, its head. Hundreds OF
thousands OF dollars worth of floating
property lie at the mercy OF the ice
