Topics Discussed.

Topics Discussed.
The committee on ways and means Of
the senate and the committee on reve-
nues and appropriations of the house
held their second joint meeting at the
Commercial club rooms last evening.
senator Bamberger was the principal
speaker. He took % his own railroad
here as an example ana pointed out that
the business is assessed at 5000 per mile.
Reasoning from chat standpoint. he said
that The heavy transcOntnental lines
were being assessed az only $500 per mile
ana mat there was "a chance to raise con-
siderable revenue from the more equit-
able taxation of railroads.
The way in which coal mining COM
pames are eVading taxation on the net
output Of their mines by selling it 10 the
coal and coke companies below cost was
also discussed. The railroad cOmDauies
own the coal and the coke companies By
selling their product below cost it rs i'm
possible 10 recover In taxation. as only
the net output may be taxed under the
constitution. Under the present system
OF mining the companies handle the coal
so that there is no net output Coke as
a finished product cannot be taxed and
the companies evade taxation on both
products TO devise means toward bav~
ing the companies pay an equitable share
or the tax on coal mined is one OF the
leading questions before the committee
senator MurdOcks income tax bill was
also discussed. Tt was pointed out 10 the
committee that the state will need ST.
e00OJ0 to meet expenses in the coming two
years. The property tax of the state al
present valuations viii WELD 81 10000
The committee has one Of three things
20 do. One Of these is TO reduce he exc
penses $4,000, which would seriously Grip
pie many of the institutions of the state.
IL might instruct the state board OF
equalization to assess all property IN the
state sun higher. The third method and
the one which seemed most I'm favor bv
the committee IS TO get the needed money
by an income tax. The advocates of the
latter system claim that this tax would
FAN upon those who have a surplus as
against those who are struggling for a
living and own a small farm or a little
home
The members of the committee have
been in doubt as TO the cOnstitutionality
OF the income tax. but Judge William H.
