HOUSE PASSES BILLS.
And Strikes Out Section of Alaska
Bill.

Washington, Jan. 5.-The judiciary
committee had the right of way in the
house for three hours today and quite
a number of bills of minor Importance
reported from the committee were
passed. The remainder of the day was
occupied in continuing the considera-
ton of the bill to codify the laws of
Alaska. Some twenty-one pages Were
disposed of today, making eighty-three
in all.
A section of the bill copied from the
statutes of Oregon, providing punish
ment by fine and imprisonment of per-
sons who prevent or endeavor to pre-
vent employees from working, aroused
a protracted debate, on the ground that
it was an attack on organized labor.
1t was finally stricken out.
The following bills called up by the
judiciary committee, were passed:

GOV. PINGREE'S OPINION
ATTACKS THE TRUSTS AND OPP
POSES IMPERIALISM.
Some Warm Features of the Cover
nor's. Annual Message-Says the
War Was Precipitated By Unscru-
pulous Press and Politicians-Ne-
braska's Governor After Railroads

Lansing, Mich, Jan. Ex-Governor
Pingree today read his message to the
joint session of the legislature. 1t is a
voluminous document of about $4,000
words. and deals with all the governor 5
proposed taxation reforms, declares
against expansion and inveighs at
great length against trusts and corpo-
rations.
Following is an abstract of it's more
salient features:
The attempt at the special session
last spring to pass the Atkinson bill,
which has equal taxation for its OBJ
ject, is referred to. and the governor
criticises some of the federal officials
for alleged lobbying against it.
The governor recommends a mOder-
ate income tax upon all incomes above
$1,000 a year.
The progress made by the trusts in
recent years has alarmed the governor.
He advocates that congress should
take this matter in hand, as state leg
islatures. he says, are powerless, be-
cause corporations would simply be
driven from one state to another by any
attempt at legislation on the part of the
states.
Governor Pingree finds fault with the
present national administration, say
ing: Inc war was preclpIJated by the
clamor of an Inscriptions press, with
the corporation of equally unscrupu-
lous politicians, who hoped that the
excitement and hysteria of war would
distract the popular mind from the
abuses of their misgovernment, and
from the grievances which our people
suffered and still suffer, greater than
those which SPANS subjects had to
complain Of
Decided opposition was expressed to
the annexation of the Philippines, the
governor claiming that they are in no
way necessary for our safety or even
usefulness, as are the Hawaiian islands
or the Antilles. He says:
The scheme of annexation is SIM
ply a weak imitation of the policy of
European monarchies, conceived in ap-
parent ignorance or indifference re-
specting the vastly different conditions
which have forced those powers into
distant colonization"
Relative TO public ownership of rail-
roads, Governor Pingree says Il most
earnestly recommend that this legis-
lature inaugurate a policy looking to
the ultimate purchase by the state of
all the railroads within it's limits
The governor recommended that a
law be passed, providing that all can

Wanted a Pension.

agent to learn what steps it would be

''Yas. sab; indeed 1 was. sahs was

''Wall, sab, l don't just thish minute

But you surely remember who you
were with. Sam?'

sab; I got dat scar in de army, sab"
What was it hit you, Sam?"

deed it was; a big iron skillet, sah.''
Now, see here, Sam, what chance
can you have to get pension? In the
first place, you were in the rebel army,
and then the only wound you received
anyway was from skillet; what in the
world has our government got to do
with your case?"

NEBRASKA LEGISLATION.
Governor Holcomb Deals With Rail
roads and the Courts.

Lincoln, Neb., JAN 5.-GovernOr Hol-
tory of the maximum rate law enacted
in 1898, and which was. declared invalid
by the United States supreme court
during the past year. He denounces
as an outrage the slow process of liti-
cation by which such measures of
great Importance to the public can be
held up for a long period of time with
out adjudication, and urges that some
remedy should be devised by which the
rights of individuals and the public
can be determined with reasonable
speed. He points out that the decision
acknowledges the right of the state to
enact rate legislation, prescribing
charges which afford a reasonable re-
turn for the capital invested, and urges
upon the legislature the necessity of
passing some law which will afford
measure of relief. He is very EN-
phatic in denOuncing the reasoning by
which the basis of a reasonable return
on capital invested is fixed on the al
legged fictitious valuation of railroad
property, represented by millions of
watered stock and bonds, which rep
resent no actual capital invested in
the railroad properties" but acknOwl
edges the inability of the legislature,
under the ruling of the court, to en-
act laws on any other basis which can
be made operative.
The regulation of stock yards is dis
cussed in much the same vein.
The legislature is urged to pass more
stringent laws for the regulation of
insurance companies, and particularly
those which will make foreign corpo-
rations pay a larger amount into the
state treasury.
