in Court
The state railroad and warehouse
commission is daily receiving the re-
ports OF the earnings of the railroads in
the state. This is for the purpose of
fixing the amount of taxes to be paid by
the respective roads under the gross
earnings law that was such a bona of
exciting contention at the last session
of the legislature when the direct tax
alton bill was under discussion. Several
roads have already made returns. and
they are. far from satisfactory to the
state authorizes. The revenue that will
be realized will be considerably less
than last year. despite the pr0mis IS
made by the senatorial advocates of the
gross earnings system last winter. 1t
was then asserted without reservation
that the revenue was steadily increasing
from year to year, and that it would
soon amount to much more than could
possibly accrue from the taxation of
tangible property, as all other property
is taxed.
The point will be made plain by COM

tiop, shows that the gross earnings for
the SIX months of 1898 ending June 30
were S2.965, TO. .5S,aS against So, 302, ,3l6-S5
for the corresponding six months of the
previous year. The tax in the present
instance that will accrue to the state
Will be. at 3 per cent, SSS,913.l2. while
Tor the 5 months of last year it was

Observation-Disclosures Forego
a Pleasure Jaunt Until Busi-
ness L. Done

I The most important question dis
cusSed at the business session of the
tailOrS' convention yesterday afternoon
was that of new location for the head
quarters Of the union. The general
feeling seems to be that they should be
more centrally located than at present.
and Indianapolis is the city that seems
likely to be favored. The matter was
discussed at some length, the final de-
cisIon being that the general member
ship should have the vote that will de
eide whether the headquarters shall
remain at New York or be removed to
Indianapolis.
The election OF officers for the coming
yesr was the next thing i'll order. John
B. Lennon and Frederick Werner. of
New York, were reelected general
secretary and general treasurer by ac-
ciamation.
1t was decided to hold the next con-
yention at Louisville, Ky.
John 3. Lennon, of New York. and
P. E. .]enson, of Chicago, were elected as
delegates to the next convention of the
American Feuuration of LABOR, i'll Chi
cago.
The discussion of several amendments
TO the constitution of the organization
was concluded. aud most OF the impor-
tant ones adopted. The principal one
was that which increases the per capita
tax of the members 10 cents in order TO
raise q general fund of $4,000. 1t was
also decided to print the journal III
German as we'll as i'll English.
'Ei,e Back shop Question.
4 large number of resolutions were
referred to committees TO be reported
on this morning rhe convention de-
cit!ed that it would not be- wise TO ii x
any particular date when the tailorS'
union should make a demand tor back
| shops, as the practice of taking Work To
Their homes had been in vogue too long
among the members Of the trade. but
the general and local officers are to do
ali i'm their power 10 hasten the time
when tnIs wretched plan shall be a
thing of the past. The matter of fixing
special dates when demands shall bp
made for back shops was left entirely
WITH the local unions.
The tree silver resolution was in
tr0duced by Sig Schlilng, of Butte,
