SUMMARY.

= Three important subjects are dis
cussed by the governor, finances, tax
alton and the railway commission.
The indebtedness of the state Is re-
viewed, careful economy declared
necessary, the refunding of debts at
a lower rate of interest and the abo-
lition of certain tax levies are the
main features of the financial pro-
gram.
Increased population has necessi-
tated increased expenses and necessi-
tated the creation of additional reve-
nues. The rate of taxation should
not be Increased but the taxation
more equitably distributed. and tho
corporations compelled to bear their
share. That the railways are taxed
at a smaller proportionate value than
other property, and that the state
board of equalization should be cloth
ed with power to remedy Is the main
feature Of this section of the NESS
age.
The Northern Securities merger is
discussed in detail and declared con-
trary to law and menace to the
prosperity of the state. AS a remedy
to existing and prospective evils and
abuses by the railways the railway
commission bill is urged. Defeat is
predicted for the republican party
should 1t fail to fulfill it's platform
pledges in this regard. The railway
lobby Is bitterly assailed, and the
question declared to be "a choice be-
tween political honesty and political
perfdY."

the MERGER.

Sections IA, Is and 90 of the state
constitution are quoted.
TT is evident that these constitu-
tional provisions were aimed against
the throttling of competition by
trusts or monoplies and against COM
binations having for their purpose
the elimination of competition in
regulating transportation charges.
Prior to the formation of the North
ern Securities company. the North
ern Pacific Railway company and the
Great Northern Railway company,
both operating in this state, were
competing lines. Since that time
competition between them has practi-
cally ceased. Believing that the for
nation of the Northern Securities
company and the taking over by 1t Of
the stock of the Northern Pacific and
Great Northern Railway companies
tional provisions; and believing that
the enunciation, by those interested,
of the doctrine that the peoples best
protection is to be found in the en-
Heightened self-interest of the captains
of industry had not repealed these
provisions. nothing was left to be
done, as viewed by the attorney gen.
eral of the state and myself, but to
bring a suit to test the Question. Ac-
cordingly suit was brought. An ap-
preparation to defray the expenses of
this action will be necessary. l
would recommend an appropriation of
t10. 00O or so much thereof as may
be necessary"

WASHINGTON. Jan. 10. - The
house ways and means committee at
meeting this morning decided to
report a substitute for the Hill bill,
which provides a rebate on all kinds
of coal from all sources for one year,
virtually placing coal on the free list
for that period.
The bill will be called in the house
this afternoon and will undoubtedly
pass Immediately.
Congressman Dalzell, Payne and
Grosvenor by request of the presi-
dent called at the White House this
morning and held consultation on
the coal situation.
Besides the proposed legislation
granting a yebate. other plans were
discussed. which the participants in
the conference refuse to disclose.

100000 is deemed conservative. But
I am not advocating that it should be
assessed at the full sum of 100000
900. But that the disproportion be-
tween the real and the assessed value
of other property is anywhere nearly
so great as the disproportion between
the real and the assessed valuation
of railroad property, no one can be
found to contend.
rs there any good reason why you
should permit the continuance of
such a state of affairs? Why should
these great corporations be permit
ted to shift their fair share of the
public burden to the shoulders of
others?
IF all property should be fairly
assessed, the revenues Of the state
would be ample, without any increase
in the rate of taxation"

EQUALIZATION.

'The board of equalization is pow
erless to afford relief in the matter
of the proper assessment Of railroad
property. This board simply appor-
lions among the several counties the
amount of tax to be raised in the
state for state purposes. 1t does not
determine the rate of taxation, but
the total sum to be paid by each
county to the state for the state pur-
poses.
1.-The valuation placed upon railroad
property by county assessors, as
equallzed by the board of county COM
missioners. is the basis upon which
the tax levy is made for both the
state and county purpose.

RAILWAY COMMISSION

The question of establishing a rail-
way commission is declared the most
important work before the legislat-
ure. The planlSs favoring the COM
mission is quoted from the republic
can and democratic state platforms.
Continuing, the governor states:
THE right of the state to regulate
railroad corporations is unquestioned.
The only effective way to do this is
through the medium of a commission
clothed with the necessary power. A
commission serves to equalize and re-
duce rates; to do away with discrlm-
nation and to correct other abuses;
to bring about a better understand
ing and feeling between the people
and the railroads. 1t in no way in
terferes with the development of a
state, or the building of new rail-
ready in operation"
The various objections against the
commission are dismissed as being
traceable directly to the railway lob
by. If the charge of the creation of
a political machine is credited, the
legislature is asked to pass the bill
with an emergency clause, making
the appointees subject to confirmation
by the senate.
"A political party that refuses to
live up to it's pledges deserves defeat
at the hands of the people. On the
one hand we have the solemn pledges
Of the two great political parties; on
the other, an INSCRIPTIONS and cor
rupt lobby--a lobby that has become
a stencil in the nostrils of the peo-
pie of the state. Stripped of all of

solves itself into choice between
political honesty and political per-
fidy. The choice rests with you"

DEVELOPERS IGNORANCE

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 13.-Busi

that his company had no control and

witness developed amazing ignorance
concerning his own business and de-
clared he couldn't tell what price his
company was receiving for coal in
Hoboken.
Commissioner Watkins asked Can
