MEETS IN SPECIAL SESSION
MICHIGAN LEGISLATURE RE-
spends TO PINGREE'S CALL.
Governors Object Is to Secure Pas
sage of Joint Resolution For
Taxation of Railways.

Lansing, Mich. Dec. 1S.-The Michi-
at noon today in response to the call of
Governor Pingree. The governors OBJ
ject is to secure passage of a joint res
olution providing for submission to the
people at the general election next Mo-
vember of an amendment to the state
constitution, placing railways upon the
same. basis for taxation as all other
property. At present the railroads pay
specific taxes upon gross earnings.
Interest in the special session is in
creased by the fact that the grand
jury, which has returned indictments
alleging bribery against some of the
legislators, is still in session here.
Speaker Adams of the house of repre-
sentatives, who is one of the indicted
men, presided today as usual. -
The message of Governor Pingree
was read this afternoon before the
joint session of the two houses. 1t
urged passage of the proposed joint res
olution so as to permit amendment of
laws by the legislature for equal taxa
ton of all property at its true cash
value. Said the governor:
THE inequality of our system of tax
alton is so great that immediate steps
should be taken to remedy it."
The question involved had for years
been exhaustively discussed, and was
therefore. no longer properly open for
debate. but called for energetic action.
The governor referred to the history
of the Atkinson railway taxation act
which was declared unconstitutional by
the state supreme court. and recalled
the fact that a joint resolution of SINH
lar purport to the one now proposed
passed the house during the regular
session, but died in the senate commit
tee
He called particular attention to a
clause in the 1898 platform of Michigan
Republicans, which commended the
Pingree administration for its efforts
in the direction of equal taxation and
favored Immediate legislation for tax
ing railroad, telegraph, telephone and
express properties upon their true
value. The message urged that the
matter be considered only as a matter
of principle.
The governor submitted a table show
ing the comparative value of railway
property, in the states which most
nearly resemble Michigan in population
and development, and stating the value
at which Michigan's railway property
would be assessed If worth as much per
mile as such property in the other states
mentioned. viz, Indiana, Minnesota.
Ohio and Wisconsin. His deduction was
that Michigan railroad property based
on such values would pay several times
the amount of revenue to the state
which they now do. The governor con-
cluded by saying:
1T is well for you to remember that
there are only three states in the
Union in which railroads pay specific
taxation upon the gross earnings

Folger's Petition Denied.
The committee on special taxes rec
commended that the claim of Fred Fol-
ger for quit claim deed to certain prop
erty sold in 1893 for delinquent sewer
taxes, be not allowed. The committee
gave as its reasons that it would be
virtually exempting Mr.. Folger from
taxation. inasmuch as the property had
been sold to the city in 1893 and conse-
quently had not been assessed for the

Danger of Smallpox.

also warned the council of the danger

Great Activity In the Wheat Pit On
Chicago Board of Trade.

: Chicago Dec 1S.-The small world S

other statistics rather bullish were COM

The strength of Liverpool and the ylgor-
Gus buying of foreigners was sufficlent
support for the theories of the local deal
ers and the market, strong at the opening,
added to its strength throughout the ses-
sion. The crowd in the pit was large. ana
the activity and volume of trade greater
than it had been before for months May
opened 15M5sc over Saturdays close at
6g7s070c. Shorts covered but offerings
were not liberal and the price advanced 10
7011d705sc. From this point the market
early dropped off to initial figures. on
selling against privileges, as the price was
above calls. But this was regained and
was persistent. Outside buying orders
were on the floor in force; the shorts be-
came fearful and covered at substantial
losses, and through it all the foreigners
bought literally, absorbing every offer not
otherwise disposed of. A few minutes
before the last trade had been made May
was at IKE. The close was 1aac over Sat
urday at 711sc.
Corn was firm with wheat and the mar
ket rather active. The response, however,
was held in check to a degree by some
liberal profit-taking. May closed sc up
at 1880. r-.
The animation and strength of wheat
produced only a drowsy movement in the
oats market. May closed 1sqAc better at
2414@242sc.
Provisions opened strong. There was an
early advance with wheat. but this was
lost on realizing, principally by New York
longs who were influenced by the Wall
street situation. The liberal supply of
hogs and lower prices at the yard had
something of a depressing effect. May
pork closed 7lzc under Saturday at s1O321

TO ENLARGE CANAL.
More Water to Be Stored In East
CANYON

One of the great improvements on
the coming year for Weber and Davis
counties will likely be an addition to
the dam of the Weber & Davis County
canal in East canyon. The applications
of the Wilson and Hooper Irrigation
companies to get in with the company
and store water to tide them over the
dry season will likely be acted upon
favorably. Estimates show that by
widening the canal at one or two
places. Improvements which would
cost less than $1,000, the capacity of
the canal could be increased one-quar-
ter. To raise the dam 100 feet would
cost about $4,000. These improvements
would store water enough not only to
fill the Wilson and Hooper canals dur
ing the dry months. but would also
provide for much more land under the
canal but not now using its water.
