PINGREE'S PERFORMANCE

On the Closing Day of the Michigan
Legislature Gets in u Few Vetocs
and incidentally Makes Speech.
LANSING. Mich. June 1G.-Governor
Plngree marked the closing day Of the
legislature BY sending In veto mes
sages. which were made incidentally
a medium for hotly criticising the legis-
lators for alleged failure to carry out
the peoples wishes. The governor
vetoed the amended sugar bounty bill.
and also bill approprlating $4,000 for
a state building and exhibit at the
Pan-Amerlcan exposition at Buffalo
The beet sugar bill. as originally
passed. had been recalled from the
governors office, the governor having
recommended that the amount paid any
sugar factory be limited to S25.O 900 an
nually. NO limit was inserted. how
ever, In the amended bill. which re-
duced the manufacturers bounty from
u cent to q half u cent u pound. :.
The veto message said: This legis-
lature has passed no iawsito equalize
he-burden OF taxation. and make cor
porate and other property pay its
shares OF taxes. 1t was elected for the
purpose Of passing laws to equalize as
sessments and taxes. and TO make rail-
roads and other corporations pay as
much taxes In proportion us the farmer
and other small property owners. 1t
has failed utterly to carry out the wish
OF the people in this respect The tax
dodgcr has either controlled or OBJ
structed legislation. His interests have
been carefully protected. The effort
seems TO have been made to nppropri-
ate us much money as possible, out OF
all proportion to the present income OF
the state and to stiiie oil measures
framed to make the tax dodSer bear his
and Its share OF the increased ex-
pense"
Governor Pingree strongly attacked
the Eenatc in particular because bills
for taxing railroads and other corpora
tions In like ma1ner with other prop
erty still repose In senate committees.
He added:
"The Republican pnrty in convention
by Its platform unanimously pledged,
and the people endorsed reforms In tax
alton. NOT one OF which hns been fulfill
ed. Such violations Of faith are some
times as dangerous to parties as to in
dividuals."
AS to the Buffalo appropriation the
governor said: III this Republican
legislature cannot afford to make the
pay Of Michigan volunteers In the
Spanish-American war at least 81 per
day, 1t certainly should not tax the
soldiers modest home for the purpose
OF raising n fund to enable tax dodg-
crs to exhibit their wares in neighbor-
Ing state"

False Reports Rcfntcd.
NEW YORK, June 1G.--The state
ment to the effect that the men around
MenIla are dying like flies, and that the
war department has been compelled to
suppress the regulation health reports
which II was formerly customary to
make public. turn out to be gratuItously
false. but serve the good purpose Of
bringing out the fact that the health
conditions In the American army under
General Otis are not only astonishingly
excellent. but have probably never been
equalled In any army In tropical coun-
tries. says the Washington correspond
ent OF the Tribune. Compared With
that of last summer in Cuba, the COM
parative Immunity from death or serI-
Gus Illness OF the American troops
fighting outside Of Manii,. seems little
Short OF miraculous.
From the landing of General Ander-
sons first military expedition near Ca
vite. on June 80. last year, up to the
last weekly report from General Otis,
dated June Q. there have been only
364 deaths from disease, although his
total force has been 10000 men. In the
same period 60 men have died from
wounds.
In view Of the notorious insnlubrity
of Manila and its environs these figures
are almost incredible. They challenge
contrast with the best English expert
encc in Egypt or in India, and they sur
pass even the excellent conditions that
exist In Cuba. where there Is TO fight
ing. and the men are not exposed to the
clements but have comfortable garri-
sons. Men drowned or VINO died from
injuries received otherwise than In
battle are counted In the total OF 3Gi
This total Is interesting compared with
that of the men killed outrigh, In nc-
tion with the FilIpinos from February
to June 4. covering the period Of active
hostllites- In those four months. with
an average OF 1000 men engaged, the
killed were 2%S.
This great disparity demonstrates
what improvement has resulted from
the experiences OF the Santiago cam
paign. when 1000 men died from disease
and only go were killed. In fact, the
health question In the Philippines has
apparently lost Its novelty, and no ques-
ton having been raised about 1t from,
this side of-the-ocear. no recent reports
from General Otis contain any allusion
