CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.

There was fight over section six Of
the taxation report. MIR. Gillesple
sought To strike out The provision that
the capitation tax OF 30 shall not be
Il lien upon nor collected by legal process
from the personal property which may
be exempt from levy under the poor
debtors law, but the amendment was
rejected and section Z. which provides
that no statute of limitation shall run
against any claim OF the State for taxes.
and section X, prohibiting the lease,
rental. or sale of natural oyster beds,
rocks, etc were adopted without change.
Section 10, providing that each rail
way or canal corporation, shall pay an
annual State franchise tax equal to per
centum upon the gross receipts upon its
yearly business, &c., in lieu OF all taxes,
except those on the real estate, rolling
stock. and other personal property, was
adopted without debate Section II
wa4 also concurred in This specifies the
manner in which the corporation com
mission shall proceed to ascertain the
amount OF such gross receipts, when n
road lies partly IN this State and partly
in another State.
The taxation ordinance Of the Con-
stitutiOn seems in r. fair way for early
adoption.
The whole both sessions OF the cOnyen-
ton Tuesday was devoted &c the con-
alteration Of this report. The sections
consuming most of the time were those
relating to the taxation of railroad and
canal property and enumerating the
classes OF property which shall beexempt-

NAVAL OFFICERS NEEDED

The Navy Department seems to
overlook the fact that it requires
less time to build a battle-ship than
it does to educate cadet for sea
duty. Its evident to any person
well-.nformed on such matters that
the L. S. Government must discon-
tinue building ships for the Navy, or
provide for an increase OF naval Off
GERS. The Navy Department is now
embarrassed by the shortage in the
supply OF officers to such an extent
that it is unable to commission new
vessels without putting Others out
OF service; and as vessels increase in
number the situation must nccesSa-
rilv become more perpleXlng.
Congress might remedy the difficult
tv and get the Navy Department out
of its present dilemma, but it will re-
quire time, and iudicious action on
the part of the Navy Department, for
even Congress to adequately provide
the needed remedy.
The proposition to graduate the
senior class at Annapolis several
months ahead OF time is nothing
more than a temporary eXpedient.
Action that will temperament re
lief is the one thing needed, and that
action is either to quit building war
ships or to make necessary provision
to supply the growing demand for
naval officers According to estimate
of the chief of the Bureau OF Naviga-
ton | 900 additional officers will be
needed to man the vessels now being
constructed. The matter may be-
come a serious one to the |. :. GOV

meet emergencies which may arise in
