THE TAX BILL
House Rscedes Adopts Majority Ne
mort Recommending senats Meas
ure, Then Passes It.

JEFFERSON Cry, Mo-, March l.
The House today passed without
amendment the Senate franchise tax
hill. Governor Dockery will sign II as
soon as II reaches him this week, and
the Democratic party Of Missouri viii
have redeemed n Of the most impor-
tant OF the pledges contained in the
platform on which It carried the state
last November.
To Governor Dockery Is due the
prime credit for the prompt passage Of
a franchise tax bill, which Is pro
nounced on all hands entirely ade-
auate TO the assessment and taxation
OF franchises.
The question In the House today
was. should the House, by adopting
the majority report, recede from The
position it had taken without a dis
senting voice, or should it, by adopt.
ing the minority report throw down
the gauntlet for a fight to the finish
with the Senate. Hawkins,of Marion
the first speaker ON the reports, urged
the House to fight. He was chairman
Of the committee which drafted the
House bill.
81 have no pride Of opinion, but an
actuated only by a desire to promote
the interests Of my party he said
This bill has never received the dis
cussion its Importance merits. 1t hai
not been properly discussed in the Con
ference Committee"
After the dinner recess Huck an6
Dickinson pleaded for the adoption o
the majority report.
When Speaker W~hitecottOn also tool
the floor to speak in favor Of the ma
jority report and the immediate adop
ton Of the Senate bill, the last effec
tive opposition vanished. The rol
call, on which the majority report wa
adopted, and the franchise tax ques
ton was settled.
Governor Dockery did effective mis-
sionary work in behalf Of the bill las
night and today, appearing in the hal
Of the House to supply argument ant
energy to the supporters Of the Senat,
bill.
Governor Dockery declares his graft
fcation at the course Of events. HI
expresses a firm conviction that th'
law is effective and that any corpora
tion called on for a report on the value
Of its franchise will respond at once
despite the absence Of machinery, lesi
the Board Of Equalization assess 1t toC
high.

BOX CAR MERCHANTS.

States, But Come to Grief Here.

st. Paul, Nov. To- George l.. Ding,
man, assistant dairy and food com,
missioner, returned yesterday from
a raid on box-car merchant at Hal.
lock. AS heretofore reported the man
paid $3.50 in fines for selling adulter-
ated and improperly labeled goods.
Mr.. Dingman said this morning:
"The man in charge of the car was
George F. Fannon, and he represents
Chicago house. He had at least 30,
600 worth of goods nearly all of in
ferior grade. His solicitors went
ahead and took orders, the purchasers
signing contracts. The prices were
low, but few noticed the clause COM
polling them to pay freight. This
brought the price up to what they paid
home merchants, and the stuff was for
the most part damnable His dried
fruits were renovated, and the spices
all adulterated. The mustard was
mostly fine corn meal, colored. Fan
non paid $75 for selling baking powder
Improperly labelled and % each on
three cases of adulterated mustard,
ginger and cloves. All the stuff that
was illegal. was boxed up by order of
the justice and put IN my charge If
not shipped out of the state it will be
confiscated.
cannon told me that he had sold
seventy cars this season in North and
South Dakota, Iowa and Wisconsin,
but this was the first time he had
struck Minnesota. l don't think he
will stay here long. His men have
canvassed several other towns, but now
that merchants know that he can be
reached by law, they will make it hot
for him and others of his kind
