FORD BILL CRITICISED.
SOME OF ITS FEATURES SAID TO BE UN-
JUST-QUESTION OF EXEMP-
TON FROM TAX.

A prominent lawyer OF this city was quoted
yesterday saying in regard to the Ford Fran
chise Tax measure:
IAN important point in the Franchise Tax bill
appears to have been overlooked. and. In my
opinion, 1t practically nullifes the whole act This
IS that corporations which do not make consider
able return In dividends which do not have large
net earnings must be exempt because their fran
chises have real value. The method OF assuming a
market value for stocks and bonds of corpora
ton. deducting the value OF the tangible property
and calling the remainder the value or the fran
chise, IS so crude and absurd that II is not worth
consideration. OF course, ali 1Isi1SEJ-paying cor
porations pay interest the par value OF their
securities and unless that interest rises considera-
bly, above what can be secured In other forms
Of investment 1t is the capital and not the fran
chise which earns It. The possibilities In the way
Of evading the tax by increase OF stock so as 10
keep down the dividend are obvious. Indeed
there need be cash dividend at all, and II
company pays 10 dividend, how any one
claim that its franchise has certain value, or
any value? Some OF the largest OF our recently
formed corporations have never paid dividend
although they hold public franchises such as the
Ford law seeks TO tax. How you assess their
franchises? This is manifesty impossible that
| have no hesitation In saying that the Ford law
Is incapable of enforcement"
The officers and counsel OF the Brooklyn Rapid

are unjust They :oo say "a, that the company now

CONFIRMED IN THIS CITY.
PROGRESS OF Mr.. wHITNEY's NEGOTIATIONS

PROGRESS OF Mr. wHITNEYs NEGOTIATIONS FOR
q THE YERKEs ROADS IN CHICAGO.
In a dispatch from Chicago published yesterday
II was said that negotiations for the sale OF all
the Yerkes surface railroads to syndicate con-
trollcd by Mr.. Whitney had advanced so far that
the terms of the transfer had legally been drawn
uo. This was admitted yesterday by one Of the d.
r.ctors of the Metropolitan Street Railway Com
rany but beyond the bare confirmation Of the fact
that the negotiations had been practically con-
cluded he would say nothing. 1t is understood
however that the Chicago City Railway will not
be included in the DEAL at least. for the present
The stocks OF the roads that TO be absorbed will
be purchased interest basis. Report has 1t
that the West Chicago stock will have a guarantee
Of per cent, and North Chicago stock u per cent
The reason advanced for the non-incluson OF the
City Railway in the deal is that 16 per cent the
stock was demanded, but that the syndicate de-
cned to take in the line on a more advantageous
basis than it did the North Chicago.
The first report which came 20 this city about a
week ago stated that Messrs. Elkins and Widener
were associated with Mr.. Whitney in the transac-
ton but II is said that the names of Mr.. Yerkess
old partners not mentioned in the papers. The
men who figure prominently in the deal are Messrs:
Whitney, Brady Ryan and Olcott The effect OF
the purchase will undoubtedly be an amalgamation
OF the North and West Chicago companies. 1t was
said
