Bicycle Tax Illegal.

The supreme court Of this state
has ruled that the bicycle tax is
illegal. The decision was hand
ed down by Judge Moore. -Four
points are decided. First, the
burden imposed by the act is
held to be tax rather than a
license. Second, it is decided
that the act is local. Third,
the law is void as contravening
the state constitution. Fourth,
the act operates to produce a
double assessment Of bicycles,
in violation of the state constitu-
ton. The Illinois case delaring
unconstitutional the act under
which the Oregon law is modelled
is cited on this point.
After citing several text-writ-
ers and adjudged cases the court
says: ''It is evident, we think,
from consideration Of the en-
tire act, that 1t was primarily
designated as a means of raising
revenue, and the burden thus
imposed must be treated as a tax
and not a license" :"

THE MASS MEETING.
Some Stirring Speeches were Made ard
Numerous Resolutions kdoptcd

Some Stirring Speeches were Made art
Eumerous Resolutions adopted
At the meeting of citizens held
at the court house Wednesday
evening, the committees appoint
ed to investigate the various mat
tiers of legislation efecting the
welfare of the city, now pending
before the legislature, reported
what progress had been made.
Three sets of resolutions were
adopted, as follows:
Whereas, Bills have been in
troduced in the legislature look
ing to division of the Agricul-
tural College, therefore, be it
Resolved, That we are op-
posed to said movement, for the
reason that it would be bad poll
cy to undertake to divide said
college, would be utterly ruinous
to the school and cripple it in its
efforts to benefit the young peo-
pie and result in lasting injury to
the best interests of all the people
of the state.
Resolved, That the legisla.
ture of the state in 1868-187o
provided a State Agricultural
College to receive the endow-
ments of the Morrill, Act Of 1862,
and the endowments of the
Hatch Act of 1887, and the Nor
rill Act of 1890, coming to it and
vesting in it by the forces and
language of those acts. There
is no authority given by those
acts, or either of them, to divide
or divert the college funds, or
any portion of them.
1t having come to our knowl-
edge that a petition is being cir.
culated in the north end of this
county asking that the legisla-
ture to cut off a piece of this
county four miles wide and seven
miles long and attach the same
to Linn county, therefore, be it
Resolved, That as Linn coun-
ty is now more than four times as
large as Benton county, and as
Our county has been divided and
cut up until we only have very
little overthe constitutional mini
mum of4oo square miles left, we
emphatically oppose this scheme
to further despoil Our territory
and give it to our rich neighbor
who could cut off from their
vast territory an area the size of
Benton county and never miss it.
Whereas, Itappears that some
amendments to the city charter
needed in order to give the COM
mon council power to aid in
establishing a free ferry at this
point and to provide for the con-
struction of later sewers; there
fore, be it
Resolved, That the mayor be
to call special meet
ing of the council at an early day
as possible, to consider what
amendments should be made to
the charter to the end that they
may may be made during the
session of the legislature.

conscientious laDor. The statue was modelled in Rome by Franklin Sim mons, the Nestor of American sculp- | tors who also superintended it's erec- ton. The statue of General Logan is 13 feet inches in height from the foot Of the horse to the top of the head of the rider. Its weight is something over five tons. The pedestal is ornamented with twenty life size figures in igh relief. most of which are portraits. On one side is group of figures represent ing General Logan in consultation with the officers of his command. In this group are the principle generals of the Army of the Tennessee On the oppo- site side of the pedestal is depicted General Logan taking the oath of office as senator The late President Arthur is administering the oath. At the right of General Logan are two famous democrats, Allen c. Truman and Daniel w. Voorhees,; at his left are Roscoe Conkling, William NJ. Evarts, Shelby NJ. Cullom and Oliver P. Morton, all of whom were close personal friends of General Logan. At the two ends of the pedestal are allegorical figures of heroic size. one represting War, or the defense of the union; the other Peace. or the preservation of the union
 The equestrian figure surmounting the pedestal Is twice life size The DOT trait of General Logan is faithful one. pronounced to be so by Mrs. Logan and the most intimate friends of the late general. The horse is represented at a gentle trot, slightly refined in. It is a lifelike portrait of proud charger. General Logan is represented as an easy and graceful rider; in his right hand he holds sword unsheathed, and the impression conveyed. to the mind of the observer is that he is riding along the line of battle.
 Franklin Simmons, the sculptor, is one of the most distinguished artists in his profession, He was born in Maine about 51 years ago and received his education at Bates college Mir. Sim mons first modelling of a serious nature was done in Portland, Me, before the civil war. Subsequently he removed to Washington. where he made many life size medallions of union generals. In 1868 he received commission from the state of Rhode Island to make statue of Roger Williams. He went to Rome to execute this order and in that city he has made his home ever since. mean while, however, having made numerous brief visits to his native land While Mir. Simmons was modelling his statue of General Logan he was visited by the late King Humbert. who was so inn pressed with his work that he conferred upon hi mthe order of knighthood.
