RELIEVE S. JOHNSON.
Commission to Investigate Railroad Gross
Earnings.

If the decision of the committee on rail-
roads is sustained by the house, S. John
son will be relieved of the arduous task Of
examining railway gross earnings for pur-
poses of taxation.
The committee yesterday decided upon
Wilson bill which not only authorizes the
railroad and warehouse commission to
conduct the examinations provided under
the special law of 1902, but forbids such
examinations by any other person.
=, Judge Wilson's bill is drawn to meet
the views of the members of the railroad
ana warehouse commission and has the
approval OF Commissioner Staples, whose

The present law was enacted at the in
stance of johnson year ago and has re
suited in no little i'll feeling, as it has
not not only enabled Johnson and his follow
ing to make capital out of work actually
done by the commission, but has per.
mltted distortion of facts calculated to
lndlcate that the commissioners willfully
neglected to protect the state prior to the
arrival Of Johnson.
