committees report on the ground that
the bill did not include all classes of cor
porate property. The vote upon the
adoption of the report, however, was de-
cisive. 81 yeas to u nays. Representa-
tive Mccall assailed the report because
i; left out>sleeping car companies, which,
he claimed, had never paid taxes in this
state.
The house, In accordance with the con-
ference committees agreement, passed
the bill increasing the membership of
the state tax commission from three to
FIVE, after Representative Chandler had
announced that Governor Bliss would
not sign the measure until the senate
lad carried out its part of the agree
ment and passed the tax bill. This the
senate did yesterday afternoon. The
vote in the senate was so to 1, Senator
Helme, the lone democratic member,
alone voting nay.
The bill provides for the taxation of
the property of railroad, union depot,
express, car loaning. stock car refriger-
lGtor and fast freight companies on the
basis of the actual value of the property
tc be determined by the state tax COM
mission. which is also given the power
tc determine the average rate of taxa
tion in the state. For this purpose the
membership of the commission is in
creased to five.
The appraisement made by the state
tax commission last year under the
present law Will doubtless be used for
the first assessment of railroad property
under the new law. This appraisement
was made under the direction of Pro-
fsssor M. r. Cooley, of the State Uni
versity, and cost the state upward of
100000. The railroads of Michigan will
be required to pay taxes aggregating
slaiO.0OO this year, the assessment be-
ing based on the earnings of 1900 The
amount which they will pay on an ad
valorem basis will depend largely upon
the rate of taxation which the tax COM
mission may determine to be the aver
age, but it is estimated that it will be at
least double the amount paid at pres
ent.
The senate late yesterday afternoon
decided to cease doing business Wednes-
day, May 20. and to adjourn finally on
June g. 1t is expected the house will
concur.
The house passed a bill providing for
specific tax of per cent on the earn
ings in Michigan of telephone companies
and per cent on telegraph companies.
This is an increase of per cent on the
latter.

MAY DOUBLE THE TAX.
Michigan Railroads hit by New Tax


Lansing. Mich, May 22.-The bill for
the taxation of railroads and other
classes of corporate property on an ad
Nalorem basis is now up to Governor
Bliss. both houses of the legislature
having passed the measure yesterday.
The bill involves radical change in the
system in force in this state since the
adoption of the state constitution. Two
heated state campaigns have been
fought on the issue involved, and ex-
Governor Pingree achieved much of his
success in politics by his vigorous advo-
cacy of a similar measure.
-Four weeks ago the house passed the
Chandler bill providing for ad valorcm
taxation OF all classes of corporate prop
erty. The senate amended it to apply
only to railroad properties, and dead
lock resulted. Committees Of conference
were appointed and after long strug-
gle the compromise measure passed yes
terday was agreed to. In the house yes
terday morning most of the democratic
members voted against the conference

Fatal Mistake of a Mother
of a One Year Old Child.
Mr.. and Mrs. B. W. Moore at
Hattiesburg Parents of an
Unfortunate Little One.
Grandmother Went to Give It a
Soothing Lotion and Got
the Wrong Bottle.

A distressing piece of news
was received in the city yesterday
from Why Not, a small neigh bor-
hood in this county not far dis
tant from Meridian.
Owing to the mistake of Mrs.
B. w. Moore, visiting in that COM
munity, the little one was given
carbo1ic acid instead of a soothing
lotion, and yesterday it was
thought tobe impossible for the
little one to recover.
The mouth and throat of the
baby were sadly burned, and al
though DR.. S. B. Harmon arrived
on the scene soon after the poison
was administered, the acid had
had time to burn its way into the
flesh and otherwise get through
the system.
Mrs. B. w. Moore, who made
the mistake, is from Hatt1esburg,
and was visiting her mother-iil-
law when the medicine was given
the baby. She is prostrated with
grief over the occurrence.
