The house committee on interstate
and foreign commerce at it's first meet
ing yesterday voted to favorably re-
port the Hepburn bill providing for
the construction of the Nicaragua Gu
nal Representative Fletcher (Rep) Of
Minnesota was the only member vot-
ing against reporting the bill Before
the vote was taken several amendments
were proposed, One by Mr.. Adamson
Dem.l of Georgia was agreed to pro
viding that the expenditure Of $l0,OO0,-
600 as provided by the bill shall be

SCRANTON, Pa, Dec. 14.-The con.
vention Of the American Federation Of
Labor held three sessions yesterday
and disposed Of more business than on
any previous day Of the meeting. The
session last night was decided upon SO
as to enable the delegates to complete
the work Of the convention today.
One of the principal features Of the
days proceedings was the defeat Of
the proposition to increase the number
of vice presidents from six to eight.
The increase was recommended by the
committee on law, but many delegates
made warm speeches against the In.
crease. Charges were made that the
executive council, Of which the vice
presidents are members, was back Of
the proposition, but this was vehe-
mently denied.
A resolution instructlng unions to
hold aloef from the militia Of the sew
eral states was debated for long
time. Strong language against the use
of the militia in times of strikes was
used, but the whole subject was ta-
bled.
The convention decided to increase
the per capita tax of national aud in
ternational unions from one third to
one-half Of l per cent per member
per month and also agreed to raise the
per capita tax Of federal and local
trades unions from 8 to 10 cents a
month for each member, the increase
Of 5 cents to 20 toward the raising Of
a defense fund for those unions. Dur
ing the day the committees reported
many resolutions ON other matters, and
favorable action was taken on many
of them.
The convention decided to take no
action on a resolution condemning an
archy and a resolution protesting
against ship subsidy legislation, be-
cause the American Federation Of La
Dor is already on record as decidedly
against anarchy and ship subsidies.
Consideration of the report Of the
committee on boycotts consumed much
of the time of the evening session.

n The Finance Committee may
recommend a new method OF collect

AHE Fl0dQCe IOMMlttee may
recommend a new method Of colle:t-
ing the city taxes than that now in
vogue, which has been followed for
years by our city tax collectors.
There is no doubt but that some
other method should be introduced
as the present method has nothing
particularly to recommend it. A
new assessment has been mada
which when 1t has been completed
10 expected TO increase the taxable
property at least one million dol
lara. There Is no doubt but when
thia assessment has been completed
and turned into City Council there
will go up howl Of indisn alton
and protest from those whoae prop.
srties have been raiaed. We know Of
one case in point where the city
assessment has been raised from
eleven thousand to fourteen thouA-
ard dollars when the owners Of the
property would be more than will.
ing 10 sell for the present city as
easement. This is only one Of many
acts Of injusti:e that the new city
assessment will do those who have
property to sell aud cannot get
what the property cost them, let
alone making a decen. profit while
hey could have realized four per
cent. ou their money if they had
deposited it in the savings bank
when they purcha ased the property.
Property should not be assessed
higher than the owners are willing
to sell for. and real estate as we
have always contended and still
contend should not pay all Of the
expenses necessarily required to
meet the muuiclpul bills. No other
city requires what is asked from
the real estate owners Of Whining

den be placed aolely on the men

the lands along which that great
road runs. Statistics show that in

Gated last year. If Colorado rail-

an accession Of 10000 to 10000

advantages which this state does
but these must be brought before

knows will make good farmers and

After what has already taken
place there is nothing strange in the
talk OF mammoth railroad trust, to
take in all the big lines, and the
combining Of all the meat packing
interests in single trust. Why
shouldn't the trusts grow? They
have everything in their favor just
now, including an attorney general
who will not worry them by trying
to convict under federal laws.
