THE GENERAL STAFF
Provisions Of the Bill Passed by the
House Yesterday.

Washington, Jan. by the terms Of
the army bill passed by the house yester-
day, 1853 to 81, it becomes the duty of the
general staff to prepare plans for the ma
tional defense and for the mobilization of
the army in time Of war, to investigate and
report on all questions affecting the eff
cheney Of the service, and to render pro-
fessional aid to the secretary of war.
The general staff corps is to consist of
one chief of staff and two general Off
GERS, all to be detailed by the president
from officers of the army at large, not
below the grade of brigadier general; four
colonies, six lieutenant colonies and
twelve majors, twenty captains to be de-
tailed from officers of the grade OF cap
tain or first lieutenant, who, while so
serving are to have the rank, pay and al
lowances Of captains mounted. All Off
GERS in the general staff are to be detailed
therein for periods of four years. While
serving in the general staff corps officers
may be assigned temporarily to duty
with any branch of the army. Upon be-
ing relieved they are to return Ito the
branch of the army in which they hold
permanent commission, and no officer ex-
cept a general officer is to be eligible to a
further detail in the general staff corps

PRIMARY III 10 r1 L, HA\u

PRlMAAN EEEG TAoN LAW. 81
After trial Of The 81 iffsalary election law
the consensus Of opinion seems to be that
the law will be permanent method Of
nominating candidates for office. Expert
ence has suggested amendments and will
continue to do so from time to time Many
amendments have been suggested and dis
cussed in the public press and otherwise,
and undoubtedly some Of these sugges-
tons are meritoricus. A change in the
time of holding the primaries seems to
meet with popular favor, and after mature
consideration I recommend that a change
be made providing for the holding of the
primaries late in June or early in July.
also recommend that the filing Of certif-
icates OF candidates be limited to thirty
days prior to the date of the primary
election I am also Of opinion that it
would be adisable to SO amend the law
that a person desiring to become an in
dependent candidate be compelled to take
the necessary steps prior to the primary
election and not afterwards, as he may
do under the present law. it would be
well, also, for you to consider whether
it would not be wise to so amend the law
that the different tickets would appear on
one ballot rather than for the elector to
call for the ticket representing his political
views, as under the present law. With
such an amendment the voter would vote
only the one ticket representing the party
with which he affiliates. Many other
amendments will probably be suggested
and will undoubtedly receive your careful
consider alton. It is desirable to perfect
the law as nearly as possible at this ses-
sion, as there are many defects as expert
ence has shown. zr,

Our state has a great future. Situated
in the center of the great American con-

realm of forest domain rich deposits OF
ore, unrivaled facilities for. commerce by
lake and river: But, better than all, we
possess an enterprising and intelligent
people; a people who have taken the rude
wilderness of fifty years ago and made it
an ornament Of civilization, a habitation
Of nearly 100000 American citizens; a
people who have not only made a veritable
garden Of their domain; but who have en-
ricl1ed the world with the products Of the
field, mine and forest and who have in
spired other peoples with the example of
enterprise, thrift, public education and

CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS

At the last general session law was
passed providing for tax commission
whose duty 1t was to frame a tax code for
our state, and also to prepare bill or
bills providing for necessary constitutions
amendments. Pursuant thereto a com
mission was duly appointed, which COM
mission made its report and presented a
proposed tax code for consideration by the
legislature. The conn ission reported that
owing ia constitutional limitations it was
very much hampered and restricted in the
preparation Of the code proposed. At the
extra session, called immediately after the
filing Of the report of the commission, and
after the most thorough consideration OF
the subject matter, 1t was deemed wise
to present to the people Of our state for
adoption or rejection at the next general
election certain proposed amendment to
the constitution. The said amendment
was submitted to- the electors of the
state at the election held on the 4th day
OF November last, and owing to failure on
the part Of the voters to vote upon the
proposed amendment the same failed to re-
ceive the majority provided for by the
constitution and was lost. The proposed
amendment, if the same had been adopted
and ratified by the voters of the state,
would have removed many of the restric-
tions of which the tax commission COM
planned, and would have enabled the legis-
lature to pass many tax measures which
seemed to be imperative and required I'M
der existing conditions.
earnestly recommend that you provide
for the resubmissim to the people Of the
amendment as submitted at the last elec-
ton. Should such proposed amendment
be submitted to the people and be adopted
and ratified. the door would then be open
for new methods of taxation. Under such
conditions the legislature would be en-
abled to pass a. graduated income tax;
also registry tax on all mortgages; a
tax on franchises and if desired, to provide
for a gross earnings system as to public
service corporation in lieu OF direct tax
alton. In a word, 1t would permit tax
reform and all the property In the state
could be brought under equal and uniform
taxation.
Should an amendment of the character
Indicated be passed and ratified, the legis-
lature would then be enabled to pass such
legislation as would largely increase the
publicS revenues which, together with the
proposed gross earnings law pertaining tC
railway companies, would make it pos
slbleito do away entirely with taxation fol
state purposes. Experience has taught us
that,it is utterly impossible to pass a
code changing the entire system. Legis.
latlon along tax lines must come by evo-
luton and until the constitutional lImIta
tions are removed, In my Judgment 1t
would not be wise y enter. upon general
tax legislation. ns-.... -..s.s.s>,,. J, sg-,ss

EV1CTED IN ENGLAND
Seven Hundred Striking Miners Are
.- Thrown Out.

London, Jan. THE mining village OF
Denaby, between Sheffield and Doncaster,
was the scene of evictions by the whole
sale, similar to those that have occurred
in Ireland, although they were not at
tended by violence.
Seven months ago the miners, contrary
to the rules and advice of their union,
struck because of a dispute with the own
ers. Many efforts were made to settle
the trouble, but they all failed. The own
