NASH WANTS NEW
TAXATION SYSTEM
OHIO LEGISLATURE CONVENES
AND BOTH BRANCHES ELECT
oFFIcERs-sTRoNG MESSAGE
FROM THE GOVERNOR.

Columbus, O., January 6. The Ohio
Legislature convened at 10 a. m. today in
biennial session. Both branches elected
the officers nominated at the Republic
can caucus last Saturday evening.
The Foraker candidates in the Senate
and the Hanna candidates in the House
were elected with their respective party
votes.
At noon the message of Governor Nash
was read in both the Senate and House.
1t was noted for its recommendations
of a new system of taxation under
which all taxes for State purposes are to
be raised from corporations, franchises,
the liquor traffic ETC., and all direct
taxation for county, municipal and other
purposes are to be left to the counties.
1t is a system of home rule in local taxes.
Discussing the question of corporations
Governor Nash says in part:
1.-The state, before she gives these cor
porations her approval and permits them
to do business, ought to require that all
their capital stock be paid in money and
invested in the business they propose to
transact. She ought to make sure of this
fact by a report made by some compet-
require these companies to make annual
reports to be filed with and be inspect
ed by this officer. This report should
show among other things. how much of
the capital stock has been paid. how the
money has been invested, what the as
sets are the amount of liabilities and
the names of the stockholders.
1.-The publicity which would be given
by such action could not by any possbil-
ity injure a really worthy and sound
corporation. AS matters now stand, the
secretary of state knows nothing about
corporation after it leaves his office, with
a charter from the state. He cannot even
tell how many of the 10000 or more cor
porations chartered by the state during
the last fifty years are now dead, or how
many are still living. The state creates
the thing, authorizes it to do business,
sends it out in the cold and knows moth
ing more about it whatever 1t Is high
time that change should be made.

which they do business. This does not
affect either The twenty banks which
have lent the sl,000,o00 owing on crude
rubber are fully secured. They will get
their money from the sale of the rubber.
.sThe other s., ,000, 900 Is a contingent la

The foreigners are divided into two fac

GAYNORS WILL

SUPREME COURT AFFIRMs DE.
cIsIoN OF LOWER COURT IN RE.
FusING TO ALLOW THE TRIAL
IN NEW YORK.

Washington January e.-The United
States Supreme Court today affirmed the
decision of the United States Circuit
Court for the Southern district of New
York in the cases of Benjamin Green,
John A. Gaynor. William t. Gaynor and
Edward II. Gaynor. The defendants are
charged with being in. completely with
Capt. o. M. Carter, now serving a term
in the United States prison at Leaven-
worth, Kas., on the charge of defrauding
the government of a large sum of money
while superintending. public works at Sa-
vannah, Ga
They have sought by habeas corpus
proceedings In New York to avoid being
sent to Georgia for trial. The New
York court refused to grant the writ and
the opinion rendered today confirms that
verdict. The opinion was delivered by
Justice Peckham.
Commenting ON the action of the New
York court in ordering the removal of
the defendants to Georgia for trial JUS
tlce Peckham who delivered the opinion
of the court said:
I'VE think that fair Interpretation of
the language used by the district court
in granting the application for the war
rant of removal shows beyond question
that from the evidence taken by the COM
missioner the judge was of opinion that
there existed probable cause and that
the defendants therefore should be remov-
ed for trial before the court In which the
indictment was found. The judge says
he did not express any opinion whatsoever
on the merits Of the case. He was called
upon to do So 1t was sufficient, If all
the evidence being taken into account,
there existed such probable cause for be-
lieving the defendants guilty as to war;
rant their removal for trial on the offense
charged"

COMPROMISE MEASURE
IS THE ONLY SOLUTION
The Ten Delegations Favorlng conr
pulsory Arbitration Are Deter
mined to Bring Matters to
an Issue This Week.

Mexico City. January 6.-It IL thought
now that the arbitration question In the
Pan-American conference will be determ-
ined one way or another either tomorrow
or Wednesday. Whether the solution will
be the disruption of the conference will
depend on whether the ten delegations
who favor compulsory arbitration will
accept O compromise measure to be of
fered to them tomorrow on lines suggest
ed by w. j. Buchanan. of the United
States delegation. The Mexican delega-
tion will. however, present the compro-
mise.
This afternoon some of the extreme adj
vocates of compulsory arbitration were
somewhat afraid of the detection of the
Mexicans and it is a matter of fact al
most certain that the compromise to be
offered by the Mexicans will involve some
modification of their own attitude It is
pointed out that when the Mexican dele
cation proposed a plan where by all
the delegations were to apply for admit
tance to the Hague conference, while
those favoring compulsory arbitration
were to sign an agreement among them
selves embodying that principle, they
were under the impression that this soiu-
ton was agreeable to all the delegations
including the Chilians
Now the Chilians claim that they o,u '.
not understand the matter IN that-lss'..
and that the @Mexicans were under an
erroneous impression.
The Chilians say they were never agree
able to this compromise. The Mexicans
| therefore feel that If the compromise
was suggested under an erroneous impress
sion on the part of Chilis attitude II
is incumbent upon them now to suggest
some other plan with the hope that 1t
| will be agreeable to all. 1t as again
pointed out that one solution is that the
delegations favoring the compulsory plan
| of arbitration should present IL In an
| open session of the conference and not
through the committee. 1t is by no means
certain If this solution already reflected
and offered once by them If offered again,
that it will be accepted. In any event
the ten delegations favoring compulsory
arbitration are determined to bring the
| matter to an issue this week.

OFFICIALS TAKE STEPS TO PRE-.
VENT POSSIBILITY OF A COL
LISloN WHEN THE COURT AR
RlVES IN PEkIN.

Pekin, January 6.-The Chinese officials
have requested the ministers of the pow
ers to keep the legation guards within
their quarters tomorrow In order to pre-
vent the possibility of collision between
the Chinese and foreign troops on the
occasion of the courts return to Pekin.
The ministers will comply.
The families of the foreign diplomats
will occupy the buildings which the Chi
nese government has rendered them for
the purpose of viewing the parade.
There is much criticism of this course
among the foreigners, who are not satis-
fled with the fact that the ministers alone
are to remain in the legation. They be-
lieve that the event should be completely
ignored. They say that the presence of
any members of the legations will be con-
strued as being, sort of homage to the
court and will be thus proclaimed among
the people.
