The majority OF the ways and means
committee has finally agreed to recon-
mend per cent. tax on incomes OF
$4,000 ard over, an increase OF 10 cents a
gallon on whisky and tax OF two cents
on pack OF playing cards. The COM
mittee also agreed to extend the whisky
bonded period from three to eight years.
1t is stated that only $1,000 persons will
be affected by the income tax, which
will bring a revenue of $4,000 900 the
first year and s4O,OOO,OOO the second. The
tax on playing cards and the increase Of
the whisky tax will put Sl5,OOO,OOO in
the treasury and hurt nobody. There
are differences OF opinion as to the pro-
priety OF an income tax, but it is claimed
that it is the iairest method OF all taxa
ton.

Gov. BRowN's message is quite COM
prehensive paper and number OF ex-
cellent recommendations are made, but
his reference to the railroads and the
suggestion of comforting plenary powers
on the railroad commission to arbitrarily
fix rates, &c, is a demagogic appeal to
the prejudices OF the masses, which can
always be depended on to go "agln rail-
roads," and is unworthy OF statesman,
even on hunt for votes. After doing
as much as the next man to make the
management of the penitentiary by the
sinking fund commission failure, he
suggests that the thing be divorced from
politics by the appointment Of three ca
pable men at good salaries to see after
those institutions and report monthly.
He also suggests the creation OF another
office-that OF superintendent OF print
ing supplies, all OF which will be en-
dorsed by those who hope to live off the
the government, but will be objected TO
by the common, every day tax payer.
There are now 2,237 lunatics in the three
asylums, which are full to overlooking,
and to provide for the ever increasing
number of untortunates the governor
suggests additions to the Anchorage asy-
lum on the cottage plan. Among the
other suggestions are the enactment OF a
general law for the government OF cities
OF the second class; the careful consider
alton of the constitutional duty Of estab.
fishing a blouse of Reform" law reg
uating voluntary assignments; the re-
vision of the statutes pertaining to char
liable institutions; a uniform law regu-
lating the appointment and duties OF
election officers; law providing for the
filling of vacancies in certain judicial
offices and a law iorbidding the compro-
mise OF cases OF assessments made by
the railroad commission. Two things in
the message will be received with de-
light The first the assurance that he
will not proong the session OF the Leg
stature beyond the constitutional limit
Of 80 days, unless he feels justified by
the existence Of exceptional conditions
and insuperable necessity, which he does
not anticipate. The second is that the
arge balances promised to the treasury
will enable the law makers to reduce
taxation several cents on the 500.
