URGED NOT TO SIGN
Governor Odell Receives a Strong Anticanal Protest.
CASE STRONGLY AND TERSELY STATED
Every Dollar Recently Expended on New York Waterways Claimed to Have Been Wasted-Specia1
 Message On Taxation.

ALBANY, April 7.-John I. Platt of Poughkeepsie, who at nearly every hearing opposed the thousand ton barge canal bill, has filed with Gov ernor Odell brief stating objections to the governors signing the bill.
 MT. Platt in behalf of the New York State Tax and Transportation Reform association and of the people of the state of New York asserts that the ca nal has for years failed to pay it's own expenses, that the purposes avowed are not right or just, that cheaper transportation Is not in the interest of the state unless obtained by cheaper cost that canal transportation is not cheap because three-fourths of it's cost has to be paid out of the state treas ury.
 MT. Platt protests that there will never be any great gain in traffic or any great decrease in cost of transpor- tation. Moreover. he attacks the prac ticability of the deeper canal. He says:
 Nothing like the thousand ton barge is in successful use. 1t is known to theory only. It carries two-thirds of it's load below the water line. The sub- merged section will occupy more than 20 per cent of the entire section of the canal, and no vessel can be economic ally propelled within so circumscribed a waterway"
 The history of the canal is crowded with estimates and predictions which are not trustworthy, but not one of the proposed Improvements has been com pleted within the promised cost, and not one of them has produced the promised results.
 The amount expended within the last twenty years in alleged betterments," Mr. Platt declares, is more than has been charged to the construction ac- count of any railway in the state, land every dollar of it has been wasted"
 In a special message sent last night to both houses of the legislature Gov ernor Odell emphasizes his views of the importance of some legislation at this session upon the subject of taxa tion of mortgages. Governor Odell in sists that the pending measure is one to reduce the rate of taxation of mort gages and should not be regarded as pTOpOSItLOn VO SdA NMOKtSdBoS. s44IhCnlhB 8 mortgage to a note or stock certih- cate, the governor says, 1t has been the policy of the state to exempt the stock certificates of domestic corporations in the hands of private interests from personal taxation because an addition al tax to that now levied upon the cor poration itself would be manifestly double taxation. But" says he, ''the extent to which we have gone in the assessment and collection of taxes against corporations finds no parallel in the taxes of private individuals and private ownership"
