the Reciprocity Treaty

Havana. January Z. The senate COM
mittee on foreign affairs to which the
reciprocity treaty has been referred.
has begun holding conferences with
representatives of different %cononlir
societies interested in the question OF
reciprocity.
AT a conference held today, Senior
Rivers representing the tobacco inter
ests, said that article eight of tn"
treaty was not clear and did not set
forth whether the limit of preferential
duty for Cuba was one or twenty per
cent. He said that under the proposed
treaty, concessions might be given t"
other nations up to 10 per CEN of the
Dingley tariff. lea wing one per cent. III
favor of Cuba. This matter should be
cleared up and the clause in question
be made clearly to read that Cuba
SHOULD have a preferential duty Of 20
per cent. against all nations.
Senior Rivers said that he thought
larger concessions should be given to
Cuban tobacco interests.

bine and Elect a Speaker.

Denver, Colo, January AFTER more
than six hours voting, during which
the division of the vote of the republic
can members who are in the majority,
made the election of a speaker impos-
sible. the lower house of the fourteenth
general assembly effected = cOmpro-
mise organization. During the early
voting the vote stood II each for the
WolcOtt and anti-WOlcOtt candidates
and 81 for the democratic candidates.
Late in the afternoon, a combination
was formed between the VOlCOtt
republicans and the democrats which
resulted in the election of J. 3. San
ford. OF Douglas, a speaker: John Wv
ian as chief clerk: NJ. r. Plummer, SER
geant-at-arms, and a. Z. +. Lyons,
first assistant sergeant-at-arms. All
these are WolcOtt republicans eN-
cept Lyons who is a democrat. 1t is
understood that the agreement gives
the republican speaker practically all
the patronage of the house, but pre-
vents the ~unseating of the eleven Den

THE STATES INVESTMENTS
state Auditor DixOn's RepOrt-Some
Suggestions by the Auditor.
Especial to The Messenger.)

Raleigh, n. c.. January 7.-State Au-
ditors Dixon's report made public to-
night says that the states investments
are: General fund.- co. 900 shares of
North Carolina railroad stock, par val
ue So, 200, 900; 1866 shares Atlantic
and North Carolina railroad stock, par
value 81, 266, 600; Alexander county
bonds, worth 81, $50; 500 shares Wilkes

ny, worth 5000. Total, $4,274 $50. Cd
cational fund.- state / per cent bonds
S143, $50; 6 per cent bonds. 1000. Total
investments, 81, AIS, $50.
During the past year there was col
lected through his department, and
turned into the treasury, on corpora
ton excess. $11. 913 and for pensions 81
269.
This does not represent all the tax
raised by the section of the revenua
law on corporations, because many Of
the corporations have increased real
and personal property to the same fig
ures as their capital stock, thereby
paying all their taxes to the sheriff Of
the county in which their plant is lOcat-
ed, instead of paying state n pension
tax to state treasurer, on excess Of cap
ital stock and remainder to sheriff.
There is an impression among DuSl-
ness men that legitimate cOrrOratio1s
can secure advantages in taxation by
organizing under laws of some other
state. l do not believe this true of cor
porations organized to do legitimate
business within our own borders. Sure
ly there should De some way by which
corporations doing business wholly, or
even for most part, within our borders.
should be compelled to incorporate un-
der the laws of our state.
The operation of the revenue act can
not be equitable or just in absence Of
some sort of general supervision. Tax
commission, should be also a board IF
equalization for the general assessment
of properties. For the reason that 1t is
absolutely necessary to have a general
basis of assessing property for taxa
ton.
In the new assessment of property.
his year, all property should b. assess
ed at actual value. North Carolina
would Their get credit abroad for prop
erty she actually owns, and as only so
much money is necessary to run gov
eminent, the rate of taxation could be
lowered. so that we would gec credit Of
having the lowest rate of taxation OF
almost any state.

want to antagonize local cOncers and
