Two Sides to the Question.


There is considerable speculation as
to why the friends of the original bill
accepted the senate amendments so
gracefully. They claim that they have
been advised by competent authority
that the provision relative to the ap-
pointment of the assessors is not bind
ing on the governor. and that, not
withstanding the specific provision that
the senate shall have the right OF con-
lrmation. he can make the appoint
ments independently of that body. On
the other hand, the other side insists that
ii was simply a case of making a virtue
of necessity. the Pingree people vot-
ing for the amendments only when a
canvass showed that they were sure 20
be concurred in, anyway. A few days
will demonstrate which is right, for the
bill requires the governor to appoint
the assessors within five days after the
passage Of the bill.
1t will be a year or more, or not until
the first assessment under the new law
is made, before the law can be brought
before the supreme court for an opin-
ion as TO it's constitutionality. While
the cases recently brought by Governor
Pingree under the telephone assessment
supreme court today. will determine the
much mooted question whether the tax
imposed by the Atkinson bill is a specif-
ic or an ad valorem tax. the decision on
this point will not dispose of the bill.
The principal point relied upon by the
railroad companies is not involved in
the cases argued today. so IL is impossi-
BILE that the primary school fund may be
batd Of he ha
companies affected by this bill for quite
time. pending the decision as to the
constitutionality Of the statute.
Large Increase i'm Earnings.
In this important connection IL may
be interesting to state that the Michi-
gan earnings of railroad companies for
1898 were $31,C46S79. an increase of So
| S65. .402, or 11.9 per cent. over those Of the
previous year. Under the Merriman
specific tax law the railroad taxes this
year would amount to $1,100,000, as
against $4,000 paid last year.
The next great tax fight will be put
up by the copper and iron mining COM
panies of the upper peninsula Several
bills to impose a specific tax on iron and
copper ore have been introduced. but
the farthest advanced bill affecting
these interests is the Dudley measure
which provides for the taxation of the
stock Of every corporation Of whatever
nature doing business in Michigan. This
bill was reported out a few days ago
by tire special house joint committee on
taxation. with the recommendation that
IL be passed. The copper interests bus-
tied its representatives on here, how
ever. and the following day the bill was
referred back TO the joint committees
II is expected that the struggle over
this matter will greatly eclipse that put
up in opposition to the Atkinson bill
