THE LEGISLATURE.
4 TAXATION BILL.

Only one measure of consequence
was introduced in either house Mon.
day-that was bill to increase the
state revenues, prepared by the COM
mission on double taxation. Under
the present law corporations pay Il
tax of seven-eighths of per cent on
their gross receipts. This measure
requires the property of railroads to
he appraised and IL tax assessed on
it equal to the average assessments
by the towns. 1t also requires say.
ings banks to pay the corporation
tax on all their deposits, abolishing
the 81 500 exemption to each depos-
itor now allowed.
When the present corporation tax
law was passed it was claimed that
it would pay the revenues of the
State, but it has failed to do so, and
corporations now pay much less
tax than do individuals
The House on Tuesday killed the
bill making an annual appropriation
of $1,000 for the support of the fish
hatchery. The measure will prob
ably bc rcconsidcred, and friends of
fishing in the State are still confident
of favorable action.
Both House and Senate passed Il
resolution asking Capt. {. Z. Clark
of Oregon fame to sit for portrait
to be put IN the State House, the
expense to he paid hv the State of
Vermont.
\ bill was introduced by Mr..
Norton of Waitstied, providing for

to label or for dcfacing or changing
the labels with intent to deceive.
The House ON Wednesday recon.
sidcrcd it's action in killing the bill
for the support of the fish hatchery ,
and the change of opinion indicates
that the hill will be passed when
some minor changes have been made,
SO that the accounts OF the hatchery
will be kept separate from those OF
the fish and game commissioners.

Messrs. ]. C. Yancey and John S.
Gibson, of Hoxie, Arkansas, used
the wire thusly while talking

Chinn, who is the recognized leader
of the Goebel avengers, it he has
any in the state of Kentucky: "We
can furnish 20, 900 Arkansans to join
the Goebel Guards, to avenge the

Pictures of Electricity.

The photography of lightning is
sciences latest achievement. These
are called "electrographs, and are
considered of great value in the flu
ture knowledge of electricity. 1t is
well known that a person struck by
lightning bears an impression re-
sembling tree, The electrograph
has proved that this is because
lightning itself has a.tree like shape
which always leaves a vivid impress
sion wherever it strikes. In this re-
spect it is similar to the famous
medicine, Hostetter's Stomach Bit
ters, which also leaves its impres
sion-that of heaIth-upon every
one who uses 1t. This great spe-
cihc is for all stomach ills such as
dyspepsia, constipation, biliousness,
malaria, kidney trouble, and all all
ments which arise from impaired
digestion, 1t will not offend the
weakest stomach.
