tainly have a brand new legislature
that the people 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 do as Mcmillan directs, and the
latter IS backed up by sky O,ds, the
agent of these corporations. who will
hardly wait until the chaplain OF the
senate gets through saying his pray
ers before he hands up to the senator's
general railroad pasges, Pullman and
Wagner car annual passes. beside
Western Union and Bell telephone long
distance franks 1t wss to be pre-
sumed that Senator McMil!an's reply
to my frank letter would be on ;he
side of these passes. Regarding SEN
ator Burrows reply wish to say that
l 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 persons and
corporations in Michigan should be
taxed alike. That helps some"

crease the taxation upon railroads. Sem
ntor McMiilan's letter admits the pos
sibiiity that railroads. telegraph COM
ranies, etc. are not taxed in proportion
TO the property they own. but says il is
also possible that competition or le-is-
lativc enactment has so reduced the
rates charged for public service that
the people receive the same benefits
more surely than they would through
increased taxation. Defining his posi-
ton Senator Mcmillan wrote: ANY
Intelligent and well directed efforts TO
bring abou; 4 rcadjGstmcnt of the
burdens OF taxation will have my earp-
est support: hut l will not join in Il
destructive warfare against certain
forms of Investment. and 10y 80 doing
work the greatest injury % the state.
VIII Help rin-rcc in Real Reform
The subject is not one to divide
political parties or 10 be used 10 make
political capital. u you desire TO bring
about a real reform you VIII ask the
legislature for authority to appoint 4
commission to Investigate the system
OF taxation now in force in Michigan.
and to report tn the ns.t legislature
and to suggest such changes as seem
advisable in order properly to ad-
just the burdens of taxation. Then
and then only viii the legislature have
the Information necessary to rectify
and perfect the system. II you shall
see fit to use your influence to these
ends will be glad TO cooperate IN the
good work oi reforming the tax system
Of Michigan" Senator Burrows simply
states that he mas no KNOWLEDGE of the
proposed measures. but that the gen.
eral proposition that all individuals and
corporations should bear their Just and
equitable share of the public burdens
does not admit Of controversy and re-
Ccives his support.
Pingr-c's Reply to Mcmillan.
Detroit. Merth ci.-Governor Pincree
yesterday replied TO McAiillan's letter.
The governo: denies that he is waginrr
a destructive warfare on certain forms
of investment" and oharacterizes such
statement 10y the senator as presunp-
tion and an insult to the people CT the
state. In response to McHillan's su--
gestion for the appointment of a COM
m SION TO investigate these subjects
the governor says: THE whole tenor
of Senator Mcaiillan's letter indica es
that the old game to gain time en-
rioyed for the PAST ten years is to be
worked again, if possible. and have this
vital question of fair railroad taxation
postponed again until the peoples at
tcn;ion is diverted. Senator Mcmillan.
in his published letter. has not only
presumed To set his authority above
that Of tho governor and even the peo-
pie OF the state. but above the courts
Of Michisan. Delays Of this sort mean
the pulling Of millions Of dollars out
Of poor peoples pockets that ouyh. to
be supplied for property taxes by the
rich railroad companies.

HOUSE WILL REvEL IN WAE TALK
Naval Appropriation Till VIII Give thc
McmherN an Onnnrtuni;y.

Members an Opportunity.
Washington, March 21.-Whethcr the
report Of the naval board Of inquiry
On the Maine disaster goes TO congress
this week with special message from
the president calling for congressional
action or not our relations with Spain
and the proximity Of war-as viewed
from the standpoint of the emergency
preparations now going on to place the
country in q state of Gefense-rroba-
bly, will be exhaustively debated in the
house in connection with the naval ap-
preparation bill, which appropriates
SJ0,CO0,0o0. the consideration Of which
Will begin tomorrow. The many emer-
Sency items in the bill, the large in
crease in the enlisted force, the liberal
provision for bGttleships. torpedo beats
and dry docks, will bring the whole
subject of the necessity for these prep.
arations directly before the house.
While the conservative leaders doubt
less will seek to prevent inhammatory
expressions, under the recent ruling of
the speaker, which practically places
no limit upcn the latitude OF debate in
of the union, the leaders, except by
their example, probably will be unable
to reprcss sensational speeches. An
effort is likely upon the part of some
radicals to force from those in the con-
fiderce of the administration q declar-
alton Of tie policy of the administra-
ton regarding Cuba. This they hope
to do by tauntirg them with some Of
the rumors which have been floating
about in the newspapers during the
past few days.
An unusually large number of sena-
tors took advantage of the fact that
the senate was not in session Saturday
TO call upon the cabinet officers with
the hope of securing definite inforrna-
ton as to the Cuban situation. They
succeeded only in learning that the re-
port of the Maine court CT inquiry had
not arrived. but that it was expected
early this week and that it would be
forwarded TO congress Immediately upon
Its arrival unless of an unexpectedly
startling character. Some Of them
found the high officials Of the state de-
rartment celebrating upon the lire Of
policy to be pursued in case the report
