A Deceased Indian Hagnate " no Had
Mania for the Vice. of
Europeans.

The people Of Patiala. in India. will
not seriously mourn the recent death
of their nlaharajah. the leading sikh
chief of the Punjab. He was the ruler
Of the most warlike OF all the races OF
India. but singularly died in the service
Of the British empire. Sir Rajendla
Singh had previously served through
the MohmRnd campaign of 1897 on the
staff of Sir Bindon Blood. Personally
he was the product OF somewhat mis-
taken system, and represented in its
fullest development that anomaly q
Europeanized Indian prince. He
habitually wore English clothes and a
native turban. married an English wife
and regally entertained vast crowds OF
Englishrlen, who. according TO the
agreeable manner OF Enaiishmen in
India. would receive neither him nor
his wife into their houses in return.
He was a sportsman OF the first order;
he had one Of the finest polo teams in
India. played for il himself and was
slmost worthy of his place. But with
the English taste for sport he had i'm
bifed the vice of sportsmen and spent
more than the revenues of his state
could afford on racing and dissipation
Though only young man of 2s. he had
tried his constitution severely. and it
is little wonder that he Succumbed to
the fever that attacked him. His sub
jects will be all the better for the nurs-
ing of the state revenues. which the
Punjab government Will now be able
to take in hand.

This order is of short standing and as
soon as the track has settled after the

nulled.

the reference to the committee. An
adjournment was then taken to 2 30
During the noon recess the friends
of the bill were active in trying to Sc
cure adherents for their cause. They
found that great many of those who
had voted to refer the matter OF in
Guiding state Offices to committee did
not fnlly comprehend the effect of such
vote. Several promises to change
votes were secured, and it was freely
predicted before the senate reconvened
that the amendment would be recon
sidered, and that particular portion
relating to state offices would remain
in the same state as left by the lower
house.
The senate became so badly tangled
on the primary bill that after the noon
recess it was voted to defer considera-
ton until II O'Clock today.
The senate then took up the calendar
and voted down the first bill, which
was the one creating the highway com
mission. This disposes of the good
roads legislation for this session, as
the same bill has already met its death
in the house.
The Washburn Inheritance tax bill
has been passed by the house. The
measure has been drafted to avoid the
fatal defects of the old law, and it is
believed it will prove to be valid in
every particular. The old law exclud-
ed real property, and the courts held
that such distinction could not be
made The Washburn bill includes all
forms of property. The old law ex-
empted corporations from its work
ings; the Washburn bill also avoids
that exception. The bill makes no
exception between lineal and collateral
heirs, a fault which had to do with
the notification of the old law. The
bill exempts legacies of S., 600 or less.
1t imposes a per cent tax on be-
quests of all kinds in excess Of that
amount, except to lineal and collateral
heirs, which are taxed one per cent.
Against the advice of every educa-
tor in the state the senate committee
on education has decided to recon-
mend the passage of the bill creating
text book commission, which shall
supply public schools of the state with
text books TO- be used The bill has
been known as the Eli Warner bill
ever since it was introduced. Ten OF
twelve educators, including the
school superintendents of the large
cities, county superintendent of pub
lie instruction, have attacked the
measure as detrimental to progress in
education.
The Nichols bill imposing gross
earnings tax of per cent on the ex-
press companies doing business in
this state was passed by the senate
| yesterday. An attempt was made to
increase the rate to 6 per cent, but it
failed, as doubts were expressed of the
Likelihood of the house's concurring.
The tax cannot be collected until next
year, however, as the law provides
that the tax must be levied by the
auditor on or before March 10.
