The special order OF the day. an act
to provide for home rule In taxation,
on which the committee Oil judiciary
recommended indefinite postponement,
was then called up. -s
Mr.. Garvin Of Cumberland said he
would like TO know on what ground the
committee had made its recommends
tion.
Mr.. Blodgett of Pawtucket. said that
the committee was OF the opinion after
carefully considering the bill, that It's
passage would bring about complete
revolution in the political and social
life of the state, and the committee
believed that the experiment was i'm
practicable at the present time, under
the constitution and laws OF Rhode ISL
and, and IL therefore recommended in
definite postponement.
Mr.. Garvin, of Cumberland the au-
thor OF the bill. made the usual argu-
ment in favor of its passage, which he
has made at former sessions. The sum
and substance OF the bin Is to the effect
that the electors of any town or city
may at any municipal election vote TO
exempt from taxation for a period of
not less than 10 years, either personal
property. or personal property and i'm

the town or city clerk at least 20 days
before the election.
Mr.. Parker, of Coventry, made an
able argument in behalf of the indef-
mite postponement of the act under dis
cusson. and he showed clearly the fall
lacy OF many OF theories advanced by
the author of the bill, Mr.. Garvin.
Mr.. Blodgett. OF Providence, also
spoke in favor of the recommendation
of the judiciary committee. and he
said that it had been shown by care
full students of economic measures that
If the act became a law II would cut
in half the selling value of all the real
estate in the city of Providence. 1t
would blot out of existence millions or
the land value in the state.
Mr. G+arvin asked that the act be all
lowed to lie over as unfinished busi'
ness, so that Ii might be discussed FUR
ther on some other day.
Mr. Blodgett, of Providence, objected
and asked that the a0 be disposed OF
at once, and the question came on In
definite postponement.
Mr.. Garvin again spoke in favor or
the passage of the bill. repeating many
Of his former arguments after which
the House voted to indefinitely postpone
the act.
Mr.. Curtis, OF Providence. from the
committee on corporations, reported
back an act in amendment OF an act 70

with recommendation OF indefinite post

passage of substitute A. calendar.

THE whole Socialist movement in

Socialism by its traditions is intensely
democratic. Ii believes in peoples own

of telegraphs and peoples ownership Oh

THE SENDERS OF EXPRESS
PACKAGES MUST PAY TAX,

Washington, April 1.-THE supreme
court has decided the cases involving
the stamp tax as 1t, applies to express
packages, the question involved being
whether the shipper or the carrier shall
pay the revenue charges on packages.
The opinion was handed down by JUS
tice White, and was favorable TO the
express companies. There were two
cases before the court involving the
question at issue, but the opinion was
based upon the case OF the American
express company VS.. Attorney General
Maynard of the state OF Michigan. The
case came to the supreme court from
the decision OF the state supreme court
of Michigan, which decision was ad-
verse to the claims OF the express O.
panies. The opinion yesterday reversed
the opinion.
