Senate from Oregon. Vote was to 9
on partisan lines, except that Senator
Burrows tRepublican), who was absent,
was counted, upon his authority. in op-
position to Corbett.
There We're two votes, first being up
on motion TO declare Mr.. Corbett en-
titled to his seat, which was supported
by Messrs. Chandler, Hoar, and Pritch-
ard, Republicans, and opposed by
Messrs. Caffery and Pettus, Democrats,
Allen, Populist and Burrows, Republi-
can, Michigan. Mr.. Spooner was paired
with Mr.. Turley, the former for and
the latter against the motion A motion
was then made to declare that Mr.. Cor
bett was not entitled TO his seat and
was carried by the above vote reversed.
The voting was preceded by & quite
general discussion based upon a report
prepared by Senator Pettus, on behalf
of the opposition. This report took the
position that the question involved is
practically the same as that involved
in the Mantle case, and that this case
should be allowed to stand as a prece-
dent. Senator Pettus made an argu-
ment in favor of establishing princi-
pie of action in such cases, and allow
ing it to stand, taking the position that
there was danger of the present courses
every time the political complexion of
the senate changes.

HER TOES MASHED.
Little Margaret Johnson's Suit
Against the Rapid Transit Co.


The trial of the damage suit of Ed
ward Johnson, guardian ad Item of
Margaret Johnson, a minor, against
the Salt Lake Rapid Transit company,
was had before Judge Cherry and a
jury yesterday afternoon, with Judge
Powers appearing for the plaintiff and
Mr.. George Sutherland for the defend
ant company.
1t was alleged in the complaint that
on Sept. l, 1895, Margaret Johnson, a
little girl of about years of age, was
a passenger on one of the defendant
cOmpany's cars, and was put in charge
of the conductor by her friends, 1t
was an open summer car, and at a
point about Sixth South and State
streets the little girl fell out of the
car, before she became seated, and the
wheel of the car passed over her toes,
crushing and greatly injuring them.
The plaintiff alleged negligence or the
part of the company, and asked for
$685. damages.
The case was originally tried in a JUS
tees court, where judgment was rem
dered for the plaintiff for 1915, from
which the defendant appealed to the
district court.
The case reached the jury late last
evening, with instructions TO bring in
a sealed verdict this morning. About
s O'Clock they agreed and separated.

upon the property at a stated figure
per head ii will be void.
THE ordinance provides that the
business shall be divided into classes
and the first class shall include those
owning or having in their possession
and under their control 5000 or more
sheep, and must pay $3.50 per annum
for the first 5000 sheep, and for every
additional 1,00e sheep the sum of $50
"a tax of $3.50 on 5000 sheep would
be at the rate of cents per head, but
as the class does not embrace the 900
! alone but includes all sheep over 5000
and up to COCO which a person, COM
pany or corporation may own or con-
troll, the tax would not be cents per
head. but would be $3.50 on $3.50 or 8 100
or $500 or any other number between
5000 and 5000. And so with the second
class; the tax would be $500 upon 1000
sheep, but it would also be 5000 upon
any number above 1000 and under 5000.
and would not therefore be cents per
head. The tax has been proportional
to the class as is always done upon
every other kind Of business in impos-
ing this kind Of tax, for it would be
palpably unfair, not to say unjust, to
compel a man of the seventh class with
less than 1000 sheep to pay the same
tax as a man with 5000 sheep. l con-
clude, therefore, that the ordinance does
not tax the property at any rate per
head, nor as property, but lays the tax
upon the business of raising, grazing,
herding or pasturing Sheep and is
therefore valid and so long as it
reaches every class Of the same bust
ness alike it is not unequal nor discrim-
mating.
IS NOT DOUBLE TAXATION.
1.-The constitution of Utah being 81
lent upon the question of double taxa
ton the legislature would have the
power to impose double taxation, but
in this case the imposition of the tax
in question would not be double taxa
ton, even if the constitution forbade
double taxation. 1t is true, as stated by
counsel in his argument, that the power
to tax includes the power to destroy
but whatever may be the courts views
as to the policy Of such a law, or what
ever doubts the court may have as to
such expediency, can have no weight
upon this legal proposition. The Jaw
must be construed as it is and not in
accordance with any ones doubts as
to its expediency.
Il hold, therefore, that there has been
no contravention of any constitutional
provision; that the statute is valid, and
the county ordinance drawn in accord
ance Herewith is also valid The de-
murrer will be overruled.''

Washington, Jan. 14.-Almost the en-
tire four hours of the executive session
of the senate today was devoted to the
indirect consideration of the nomina-
ton of Hon. Joseph McKenna, now at
torney general, to be associate justice
of the supreme court. The discussion
was the result Of an effort on the part
of Senator Allen (Pop. Neb.), to secure
q poStponement for two weeks. In the
end compromise was reached, defer
ring consideration until q week from
today, on condition that the Nebraska
senator should agree to allow a vote to
be taken en- that date. The Hawaiian
the session.
The debate upon Mr.. McKenna's
nomination was precipitated by Sena-
tor Hoar, chairman of the committee
on judiciary who called UP the nomi-
nation in accordance with his notice
of yesterday, and asked for immediate
action. In doing this, Mr.. Hoar spoke
briefly of the opposition to Mr.. Nc
Kenna, saying that the judiciary COM
mittee had investigated most of the
charges made and had reached the con-
clusion that they were without founda
ton. He said that the greater number
of charges had been made by the mem
beers OF the American Protective asso-
citation, and as they had been founded
solely upon the fact that Mr.. McKenna
was a Catholic in religion, they had
not been deemed worthy of serious con-
sideration. Mr.. Hoar dWelt at some
length upon this point, eXcoriating any
man who would attempt to inject a
question of religion into asseRptroversy
over mans fitness for Office. He said
that such an effort was eutiraly un-
American and unpatriotie, and should
not for moment receive qfle ccnsidera-
ton of fair minded men. ~
A. P. A. BIGOTS.
Senator White, of California, also
spoke of the effort of the = P A
to interfere with the course of the sem
ate in giving proper attention to
question the determination of which
should depend upon considerations OF
fitness and justice as between man and
man, rather than upon an appeal to
bigotry, prejudice and q false claim o.
patriotism. He spoke of the A. P AS
as fools who could not be properly
characterized in the senate. He had no
patience, he said, with men who he'd
the opinion that Catholics must neces-
sarily consult the pope or some other
high functionary of the Catholic
church in every important transaction
of their lives, and added that he was
convinced that the American senate
would not be Influenced for a moment
by such representations as an order of
the character of the a P. A would
make. Mr.. McKennas confirmation
should depend entirely upon different
considerations. AS for himself, while
he did not contend that Mr.. McKenna
was a giant in his legaf ATTAIN u 5.
still he believed him to be an honorable
Jurist. and he should support his con-
firmation.

The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1898-01-15
ALIENS REASONS.

It was here that Mr. Allen interposed
an objection to Immediate action. When
his request for two weeks delay was
met with refusal, he took the floor and
proceeded to give his reasons for the
request, which were, in the main, that
he wanted, and he thought the senate
should have, more tire for considera-
ton than had been given to it. He
called attention to the Importance of
the Office 20 which Mr.. -McKenna had
been named. saying it was d place
which he would occupy probably dur
ing the remainder of his life, and that
the senate aud the American public
had a right TO demand that the charges
should be sifted to the bottom. He said
so far as the opposition of the A. P.
A. was concerned, it did not influence
him in the least, and he agreed with
all that had been said as to the pro-
prlety of anv interference in a matter
of this character on account of re-
ligious prejudices or predictions.
There We're still other charges which
were, to his mind, far more serious,
and to prove that such was the case
he read at length from letters and
newspapers attacking Mr.. McKenna's
record as an attorney and jurist en-
the ground of legal attachments. The
greater part of Mr.. Aliens speech was
devoted to reading those documents.
PACIFIC BAR ATTACK
He called especial attention to an at
tack made by the bar of the Pacific
coast, which. he said, was deserving OF
more scrutiny than had been given it.
He also stated that he had understood
that charges had been made that large
corporations had been instrumental in
securing McKenna's nomination. He
thought this matter should be looked
into more thoroughly than the senate
had had opportunity to do. Mr. Aller.
disclaimed any intention to father any
Of the charges made, but asserted that
his sole purpose was to secure time for
their proper investigation. He added
that he might himself vote for Mr.. Nc.
Kenna's confirmation, but said that
before doing so he desired to be con-
WINGED that the assertions made derog-
atory to Mr. McKenna's character as a
jurist were without foundation.
1t was 4:30 in the afternoon when the
agreement was reached for concluding
the McKenna matter at the sitting on
next Friday and, by general consent,
the senate postponed consideration of
the Hawaiian treaty until next Mon
day
