An important measure considered by
the House is the Montgomery remedial
act to validate the assessments of
1901 Owing to the puzzling court de-
cisions and the conflicting assessments
made, especially on corporate property,
there has been some doubt as to
whether the corporations could be
forced to pay their taxes. In order
that no loophole might remain this
remedial act was passed. The Martin
bill. to increase the tax on premiums
of insurance companies from two to
two and one-half per cent, thus adding
$4,000 to the yearly revenue of the
state, was agairf passed after it had
been recommitted to the committee of
the whole in order that the large mu-
tual companies might be made subject
to the tax 1t Is the desire of the
legislators that fraternal insurance
companies shall not be subject to the
tax, but in attempting to accomplish
that purpose. some of the gigantic mu-
tuals were exempted. The exceptional
clause finally adopted reads as follows:

shall be construed as applicable to or
ganiZations which conduct their bust
ness as fraternal societies. on the

In the House the Ammons bill to
compel the railroads TO fence their

reading and sent to the governor. This

ceipts of insurance companies from ,
to 21a per cent. was passed on second
reading. Its enactment into law will
add SoO,O0O per year to the states rev.
enue. The House adjourned until
Monday, and at that time the Gunni-
son tunnel bill will be given its third
reading and placed on final passage,
and the other revenue bills will be dis

The House went on record as favor
ing the repeal of the Bucklin Austria
lasian tax amendment. The vote on
the proposition came after ain all days
debate, and was something of n sur
prise to the opponents of repeal, who
thought that the decisive defeats
which the repeal had sustained in the
Senate had taken the vim out of its
friends. The test came on n motion to
indefinitely postpone the Adams re-
pealing bill. This was beaten, 26

Martins insurance bill met unex-
pected defeat in the House at the be-
ginning of the afternoon session. This
bill had passed second reading by
big majority. 1t provided tax of
$3.50 on every $1,000 of gross receipts
of insurance companies. Those who
We're aye on second reading and no
on the third are: Ballinger, Bell. Boil

Montgomery (Larimer), Pitschke, PO-
chon, Sanchez, Smith and Taylor.
The passage of the mining sections
in the Senate is in sharp contrast with
the prolonged war that occurred over
this part of the revenue bill in the
House. The reading of the sections
began at 4 80 o'clock and each of the
sections substituted by the finance
committee for the House sections was
adopted practically without debate up
to the last word of the last section.
The word locality" caused the only
discussion of the afternoon, Senator
Seldomridge seeking TO change it to
county" The amendment was lost.
and the committee arose while this one
section was yet unadopted.
