TAXATION.

Chairman Washburn of the legislative
committee on taxation called that body
together promptly this morning for the
first hearing Of the session, on the Pc
tition of the Massachusetts Anti Double
Taxation League and others for the ex-
emption from taxation in this COM
monwealth Of personal property situa-
ted and taxed without the common
wealth and shares of certain corpora
lions organized under the laws of other
states.
Counsel w. B. Durant of the league
dipped into his subject without delay
He first attacked the chattel tax. If a
Massachusetts man owns a COW in New
Hampshire, he is taxed for the full
value here and in New Hampshire If
New Hampshire man owns a COW In
Massachusetts, he Is only taxed in this
state. No adjoining state has such a
law as ours.
Mr.. Durant then turned to the tax
on foreign stocks. If New York man
owns New York Central stock paying 4
per cent he gets the whole of his divi-
Boston man the tax cuts down his divi-
dends to 21s per cent
The speaker said ne was not defend
ing tax dodgers. This law bore hard
on the poor people owning few shares
Of stock, perhaps in the hands Of q
trustee appointed by the probate court.
The wealthy man can go and live in
Nashua, Providence and elsewhere out
side and escape taxation.
An informal discussion followed on
the general question of the wisdom of
our corporation laws, between Chair
man Washburn and Mr. Durant, the
latter denying that to exempt foreign
stocks would encourage Massachusetts
concerns to incorporate elsewhere.
Col. Il. l.. Livermore, vice president
of the Calumet q Hecla Mining Com
pany, argued that the taxation of for
eign shares was unwise and impoli-
tic. He said that Of the three thou
sand millions of dollars worth of STOCK
owned IN Massachusetts, only seventy
millions were in foreign stock, a small
proportion.
Horatio q. Curtis, president of the
old Boston Bank, said these laws were
stining business The banking capt

tai in Boston had in the last year
shrunk 100000 If capital were en-
couraged to come here, there would be
need of more banks. Nobody can tell
where this capital has gone; the point
is that business ought not to be shrink
ing in Massachusetts.
Mr.. Durant said the courts of New
York had ruled that the taxation Of
foreign stocks was unconstitutional.
Frederick Bancroft, real estate, Bos-
ton, argued that these laws were driv-
ing business from Boston to New York.
1t was surprising how many corpora
tons had gone III the past few years.
If this went on, by and by Boston
would be no more to New York than
Salem is to Boston. If the Bell Tele-
phone Company left the state, he
should ascribe it to the late Gov.
Greenhalge's veto.
After further remarks by Mr. Durant,
the committee adjourned to Tuesday.

Bristol, r. l.. Jan. 19.--The lead keel of
the new defender of the Americas cup

preparations for the work being COM
pleted tonight, after much hustle and
hustle in the Herreshoffs shops. The two
furnaces which were used to prepare the
lead for the keel of the Defender are be-
ing used on this occasion, but they have
been so enlarged as to permit of greater
heating surface and for Increased capaci-
ty of metal. The two furnaces are con-
nected by pipes with the mould in which
the keel will be run. Both furnaces were
fired today, and when the metal reached
its proper heat test was made to guard
against a possible accident tomorrow. The
test was successful as anticipated. The
moulding will be begun early, and it is ex-
pected that the entire day will be needed
to complete the work.

PATIENTLY WAITING.
Democratic City Committee Members
Want to Organize.

The members of the democratic city
committee are wondering when the
meeting of the committee for organic
alton is to be called. According to the
Boston caucus law under which the
democrats conduct their city politics,
the committee must meet for organic
alton within 80 days after the new
year. There are not many more days
Of the 80 left and as yet no call has
been issued. Not much of a notice is
required, something like two days, but
there are many members who think
that it is just as well to have the COM
mittee organized without waiting I'M
til the eleventh hour
1t is safe to say that unless a call
is soon issued by the chairman,
one will be issued by several Of the
members. j. H. Msagher, who has
been the secretary of the committee for
several years, is a candidate for chair
man. Mr.. Mellen is also understood to
be a candidate.

AS yet James H. Mellen has not
called meeting of the democratic city
committee, and the members are begin
ming to wonder if he intends to do so.
The time limit in which tina call must
be issued expires Jan. 81, and unless
the chairman shows some intention Of
calling a meeting soon, it is very prob
able that some one Of the members
will assume the responsibility and issue
the call.
Whatever his inclination may be,
Mellen has no chance Of reelection.
His management of the committee last
year did not take with the members,
the poor financial showing in the annual
statement has settled matters. There
seems to be little doubt that John H.
