occur on the Central Pacific by reason
OF stormy weather. For moment Mr.,
Piper was OF the opinion that the
change had been made to permit Mrs.

Sunday night following, but that
thought was quickly disposed Of by Mr..
Cook who declared that Mrs, Carter
never played on the Sabbath, under any

STATE REVENUE
WAS CONSIDERED

At the joint session this morning OF
the state board Of equalization, the
secretary of state and the committees
on revenue and appropriations from
both houses Of the Legislature, the
work OF the board for the past two
years was reviewed and fully ex-
planned to the legislators. The means
employed in assessing railroads, tele-
phone, telegraph and car companies and
the net proceeds OF mines was fully
gone into and the difficulties In the
way Of obtaining correct figures were
pointed out by Secretary Thomas
The board recommends that the law
making the state treasurer the collec-
tor of the taxes due from car companies
be repealed and that the secretary of
the state board OF equalization be
made the collector with directions to
advertise delinquent taxes at three
places only. and be given power to levy
on and sell property Of delnquents at
one place. AS a proof of the necessity
of this legislation Secretary Thomas
cited the case recently decided against
a large brewing company by the Unit
ed States Supreme Court for taxes for
its railroad cars used in this State. The
decision was in favor Of the State, but
without new legislation the difficulty
was now how TO collect the taxes from
such companies,
The board also asks that a stringent
penalty be placed upon officers neg
lectng to forward their reports within
the time required by law. Another re-
quest Is that the statute be amended
so as to allow the using Of two assess
ment rolls, instead Of one, one for real
estate and improvements and the other
for personal property Under the pres
ent law the rolls are so wide as to be
unwieldy.
The board also wants the law requr-
ing county commissioners to furnish as
SCISSORS maps TO be strengthened by the
addition of a penalty for non-compli-
ance.
other matters urged are that s4l9,75
with interest at per cent from Feb. l,
1900. be appropriated tt repay the
money DOrfONeu W ph9 ioi "ssesaH'h'
rolls and taxpayers statements Tor the
year 1900, and that $500, or so much
thereof as may be necessary, be appro-
priated TO meet the expense OF assess
ment rolls and taxpayers statements
for the years 1901 and 1902
Bills bearing on some OF these re-
quests are already pending In the Legs
lature. and suitable bills TO meet the
other demands will be drawn up and
introduced at an early date
