New York, Jan. 19.--Abram S. Hewitt,
former mayor Of New York and for many:
years representative in congress. died lat
o'clock yesterday morning in his eighty
first year, after having been critically ill
for ten days. With him at the moment
of death was his wife, three sons and
three daughters.
Mr.. Hewitt, who had been in feeble
health for some time, was attacked. with
obstructive jaundice Jan. s, and from
the first it was realized by his attending
physicians that there was practically no
hope Of the aged patients recovery. On
the following Sunday it was thought that
Mr.. Hewitt could not survive the night,
and the members Of his family were sum-
moned to his bedside, but his wonderful
vitality kept him alive for week longer.
On Thursday Mr.. Hewitt rallied so strong
ly that some hope was entertained that
he might recover, but on the following
night a relapse occurred and it became
evident that the end was not far off. A
slight improvement was noted on Satur

FULL HEADOF STEAM mot BROAD ENOUGH
Gross Earnings Bill Should Be
Amended to Cover All
Earnings.
Legislature May Also Return to
Uniform Mileage Basis
IS for Earnings. ..-.....

Members Of the legislature who have
discussed the subject since Friday, when
the per cent gross earnings bill was in
troduced,' have expressed some wonder
that it was not more .con1prehensively
drawn Public Examiner Johnson's work
has disclosed many items Of income Oh
which the railroads now pay no taxes.
some Of which the present law will not
cover. The need of broader phrase
tology which will compel payment on all
sources OF income is generally recognized,
but the bill as introduced makes =, no
change that will reach these items. It is
thought probable that amendments will
be suggested, either in committee or on
the floor, designed to cover this point
So The bill may also be changed so as to
return to the present method of comput-
ing the states share Of interstate earn
1ngs. The opinion Of Attorney General
Douglas and other leading authorities is
that the present method Of division &C
cordfng to haul IS unconstitutional and
would not stand in the courts. They insist
on the use Of the uniform mileage basis,
as the jacobson bill provided. The legal
talent in the legislature may come to
this same conclusion, and amend the bill
In order to make it hold water AS al
ready stated in The ournal, the
railroad companies appear to have aban-
doned contest in the legislature and to
depend on beating the law in tibet courts
This emphasizes the duty of the lawmak-
ers to do their work well.

The Minnesota Legislature Now Or
ganized for Hard Work Along
Every Line.
Beginning Tomorrow, Important
Measures Will Be Threshed
Over by Committees.

The legislature will reconvene for it's
third weeks work tomorrow morning.
The principal work this week will be done
in committees. Several important meas
ures have been introduced. but none Of
them has had consideration by the com
mittees, which necessarily precedes dis
cussicn on the floor of either house. The
4 per cent gross earnings law. introduced
Friday by Mr.. Johnson, will be taken up
tomorrow by, the house committee on
taxes. The judiciary committees OF both
houses will probably wrestle this week
with the taxation amendment to the con-
stitution. The Morley bills, removing the
educational institutions from under the
the board OF control will be taken up by
the house committee on general legisla-
ton.
The house joudiciary committee has
marked for slaughter the Minnette bill,
making alternate sessions Of the legisla-
tu1e thirty days in length, and extending
the terms of house members to four years.
It will be reported tomorrow for indetin-
lite postponement.
The Yoerg resolution concerning passes
will come up in the house tomorrow, and
is practically certain to be buried after
the most approved method. 1t has had
an effect OF stirring up discussion Of the
pass question, and there are several men,
bers who favor a law such as Wisconsin
has, prohibiting the use Of passes entirely.

UP the Michigan law and is favorably i'm
pressed with it. This law provides for a
pass issued by the state to members, good
on all the lines Of railroad within the
state, and during the members terms of
office Severe penalties are provided for
use Of the pass by any other person than
the one to whom it is issued.
There will be opposition to this on the
ground that it would probably do away
with voting n1ile9Rp which to xOnoa

ethics Of the case would not be altered,
however, for members now ride free,

There is considerable sentiment among
country members in favor of extending
the Hennepin road law, which requires
road taxes to be paid in cash. It has
proved very satisfactory in this county,
and is unquestionably step in the direc-
| tion of effective good roads system

that since the highest courts in the land

awaits any man who deliberately takes
the quotations Of this chamber without

quotations are property and to take them
is larceny.
But no VITO prove the theft? That is
the problem. No man on change could go
out and find this leak. We must have a
man experienced in such matters and

are honorably employed to find the leak.
