TAX AMENDMENT INTRODUCED
Senator Wilson's Bill Provides for a Re-
submission. -

ouDuItoSeOIis
There Is no disposition on the part Of
the senators to lag in their work and on
the third day Of the session four bills made
their appearance. The most important
was one by Senator Wilson of Minneapolis,
proposing an amendment to the constitu-
ton so as to provide for several import
ant tax reforms notably in relation to
taxation Of incomes, franchises and mort
cages. It is the same measure voted upon
ut the general election Of last November
but defeated owing to the law providing
that all constitutional amendments must
have a majority of all votes cast at the
election inorder to carry. The amendment
IS to be voted upon at the general cleo
ton of 1904.
Senator Wilson's measure enlarges the
power Of the legislature SO as to permit
the levying Of taxes on franchises granted
by public authority or in lieu of a tax
on franchises there may be imposed tax
on gross earnings, said tax to be appor-
toned between the state, counties and
municipalities where such franchise is
exercised, in the same manner as real
estate taxes are apportioned. There may
be levied a transfer tax not to exceed 8
per cent on the esta ties Of decendents
above fixed and specified sum, which
tax may be uniform or graded or pro-
gressive. .y
There may be levied a registry tax upon
GENES arising from all personal property
or from credits, also incomes above 81, 900
not arising from personal property or
credits.
i Personal property not exceeding $500 to
each individual Is to be exempt. but such
personal exemption is not to be allowed
more than one member Of the same fam
fly.
Senator Wilson asked that his bill be
referred to the judiciary committee wher
1t had been appointed He intimated thai
It might require some changes but ex,
planned that 1t was introduced In this
form In order to get the measure before
the senate as soon as possible.
Soldiers Home Pensions.
Among the bills introduced this morn
ing was one by Senator Gjertsen permit
ting the inmates of the state soldiers
home to retain their pension money. Th
bill provides that, in making regulation
governing the admission, maintenance an,
discharge Of the inmates, it is unlawful
to require the soldier to relinquish an.
pension money except in cases where tn
soldier admitted, who receives pension
exceeding 81 per month, having a wife O
child dependent upon him for support, O
An circumstances Of dependence and want
In which case he is required to pay owe
the excess to the trustees for the use q
his wife or child. 49, -.
Senator Dunn introduced a measur
empowering park boards in cities Of owe
10000 Inhabitants to retain the none
or funds derived from the parks or othe
sources and to disburse the same for tn
maintenance or improvement Of the park:
Under the st. Paul charter all the re
ceipts Of the park board must be turne
over to the city treasurer for the use

rives only pro rata share. Senate

at the table. Other players will be add
