TAX BILLS DEFEATED.
The -Four Measures Proposed Were I'm

partially Turned down.
Boston. May 1O.-Taxation questions
were on the tapis in the house today
and nearly all the time of that body
was consumed in the discussion of four
taxation bills all of which were reject
ed after more or less debate. This prac-
tically disposes of all measures of tax
alton for this session.
The first bill was one for the more
complete taxation of foreign corpora
lions doing business in this state. 1t
was referred to the next general court
by a large majority. The next taxa
ton reform measure that came up was
likewise turned down This was the
bill of William r. Sessions for the es-
adjustment of state assessors and state
supervisors to assess personal proper
ty and was described by Mr.. Mellen of
Worcester as the most scientific tax re-
form measure yet presented to the leg
islature.
The same fate befell the bill to require
more complete returns from foreign
corporations doing business in this
state and also the bill of the Anti-Dou-
BILE Taxation League to exempt from
taxation in this state personal proper
ty situated and taxed in other states
The resolve for a constitutional amend
ment providing that in civil cases a ma
jority of the jurors could reach a YER

dering it to a third reading. Gov. VOL

hour day for city and town employees

Interest in track athletics at Tech is at
a low ebb and the showing that crimson

for the decline in interest is the cam

of interest in athletics at the Medford.
