PINCREE'S SARCASM.
The Michigan Governor Vigorously
Scores Senator Mcmillan.
HIS WARNING TO LEGISLATORS.

II Thoy Do Not Pass the Railroad
Taxation Bill "We'll Have Brand
New Legislature That tho People
WIN Elect Themselves"
Detroit, Mich, March Ex-Governor
Pingree yesterday replied to Senator
McMillan's letter in reference to the
increased taxation of railroads and like
corporations, which is to be the subject
to be acted upon by the legislature in
special session, which begins this week.
The governor denies that he is waging
a destructive warfare on certain forms
of investment. and characterizes such
statement by the senator as presump-
ton and an insult to the people of the
state. In response to Senator McMil-
lan's suggestion for the appointment
of a committee to investigate these
charges the governor says:
1.-THE whole tenor of Senator McMil-
lan's letter indicates that the old game
to gain time employed for the past ten
years is to be worked again, If possible,
and have this vital question of fair
railroad taxation postponed again until
tiiS pSoPiS oltSlitAoAi 10 dANNitSo' JUL
ator Mcmillan, in his published letter,
has not only presumed to set his au-
thority above that of \he governor. and
even the people of the state, but above
the courts Of Michigan. Delays of this
sort mean the pulling Of millions Of
dollars out of the peoples pockets that
ought to be supplied for property taxes
by the rich railroad companies. If this
legislature does not pass the bill that
will be introduced, we'll certainly have
a brand new legislature that the peo-
pie will elect themselves.
Last winter McMillan's lobby beat
us out in the legislature. The members
are afraid they'll lose their jobs If they
don't go as Mcmillan directs, and the
latter is backed up by Sky" Olds, the
agent of these corporations who will
hardly wait until the chaplain of the
senate gets through saying his prayers
before he hands up to the senators gen.
eral railroad passes, Pullman and Wag-
ner can annual passes, besides Western
Union and Bell Telephone Long Dis
tance franks
1T was to be presumed that Senator
McMillans reply to my frank letter
would be on the side of these passes.
Regarding Senator Burrows reply,
wish to say that I am glad, and the
whole state of Michigan should be
glad, to see that we have one United
States senator who is frank enough and
honest enough to concede that all per-
sons and corporations in Michigan
should be taxed alike. That helps
some"
