TAXATION DEBATED.
Conference Of the National Civic
Federation At Buffalo.
PITH OF The RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED
The Principal Topic Discussed Yesterday
Attorney General Goddard, Of kansss,
Spoke About Taxing Railway Ter
minals In Large Cities.

Buffalo, N. Y, May 25.-The taxa
ton conference of the National Civic
federation, which has been in session
here for two days, adjourned yester-
day evening. The most Of the work
of the conference and the sense Of its
delegates in matters Of taxation are
contained in resolutions in substance
as follows and which, with the excep-
ton of the last paragraph, were
unanimously adopted:
1t is the sense of this conference
that a permanent organization be ef-
fected for the promotion Of interstate
comfy in taxation and of tax reform
in general, and to that end that a
committee Of Is be appointed to act
as an executive committee until an
other meeting Of this conference;
and that the executive committee be
authorized to select a general COM
mittee of 100, with at least one men,
Der from each state; that the execu-
tive committee be authorized to take
proper steps for the collection and
dissemination of information in re-
gard to state and local taxation; that
the conference recommends to the
states the recognition and enforce
ment of the principles Of interstate
comfy in taxation. These principles
require that the same property
should not be taxed at the same time
by two states jurisdictions and to
this end that, if the title deeds or
other paper evidences Of the owner
ship of property or of an interest in
property are taxed, they shall be
taxed at the sites of the property and
not elsewhere. Also that the state
and local revenues should be so sepa-
rated as to methods and subjects of
taxation as to give to the counties
and municipalities the largest powers
of local option in taxation. The
last paragraph OF the resolution was
referred back to the committee,
which will report on the resolution
at the next meeting Of the confer
ence.
The topics for discussion yesterday
were taxation of mortgages and in
heritances, and local option taxation.
James R. Garfield, of Ohio, presided
Frederick M. Judson, of st. Louis, the
first speaker, spoke of taxation of
mortgages.
Mr.. Tooke, of Illinois, read pa
per on general taxation. One of the
most interesting papers of the day
was that of Lawson Purdy, secretary
of the New York Tax Reform asso-
citation.
+. C. Westhave, of West Virginia,
read paper on general taxation
propositions. He was followed by
State Senator Bucklin, of Colorado,
who read paper on "The Australian
Tax System in the Antipodes and in
Colorado" A discussion of his adj
dress followed. Mr.. Chase, of Iowa,
told of the tax system of his state.
Attorney General Goddard, of Kan
sas, spoke on the problem of properly
taxing railway terminals in big cities
and the difficulty in getting at the
real value Of the property.
All other papers that were 10 be de-
livered before the conference were
accepted as read and will be printed
in the pamphlet to be published and
distributed.

FLOOD DAMAGE.
The Loss Of Life In Upper East Tennessee
Reported So Fla, IL Fourteen Many
Persons Homeless.

Knoxville, Tenn, May 24.--The Ten.
ncssee river is slowly falling. Its
tributaries in upper east Tennessee
have rapidly receded into their banks,
revealing wreckage of houses and
bridges and ruined crops. The loss Of
life thus far reported is IA, though
it is not probable that there are
others.
At Knoxville the steamer 0naga,
the largest vessel plying the Tennes-
see above Chattanooga, was wrecked
yesterday afternoon and is total
loss. The steamer was locked for
repairs to her hull. The flood had
nearly submerged the boat when n
loosened raft of logs crushed her into
kindIing and sent the wreckage float
ing away. Traffic Oh the Southern
railway via Bristol, over the Norfolk
& Western, may be delayed for 4
month until the bridges are replaced.
A special to the Journal and Trib-
une from Elizabethton, Tenn,
where the food was felt with terrible
force, says: "The relief committee
last night reported about $50 persons
in the town and 1000 in The country
homeless because of Tuesdays food.
The more fortunate people of the
town are furnishing food and cloth
ing, but unless outside help is secured
much suffering will result"
A special to the Journal and Trlb-
une from Bristol, Tenn, says: Later
details from the food-stricken Sec
ton show great damage done in the
western North Carolina mountains.
a new town at the south
ern terminus of the Tennessee dyi-
sion OF the Ohio River e. Charleston
railway, is practically wiped out. At
Unaka the large railway iron bridge
which SPAWNED Chucky river has been
destroyed. The lumber and pulp
mills of Gen. John r. Wilder and also
$1,000 logs and a large quantity of
