SENATORS ON Gross EARNINGS
The Fryberger Bill Considered and Rec.
commended for Passage.


Several important measures were con-
sidered by the senate committee on taxes
and tax laws last evening. Among these
were the Wilson and F'ryberger bills, in
sing the gross earnings tax on rail-
roads from to per cent. The Fryber-
ger measure was recommended for pas
sage. It provides that the term gross
earnings shall be construed to mean all
earnings on business beginning and ending
IN the state and a. proportion, based on the
proportion of the mileage in the state to
the entire mileage over which business is
done. Of earnings on all Interstate business
passing into, thru or out Of the state.
1t also leaves the way open for the taxa
longing to railway companies and not used
exclusively for railway purposes. --:.r
The committee further voted to recon-
mend for passage the. Helliwell bill i'm
posing a tax on inheritances. The bill as
amended imposes tax of 1 per cent ton
direct 11nheritances exceeding SIS, 900 and
of S per cent on Indirect inheritances
above SIS, 900. The exemption does not
apply, to the entire estate, but to the
amount received by each heir or benef-
ciary.
Attorneys for the St. Paul Gas Light
company, the Minneapolis Gas Light COM
pany and the Anoka Electric Light and
Water Power company appeared before
the committee to argue against the Haug-
land bill Imposing a franchise tax on all
public service corporations. The conten-
ton was made that the companies already
paid a tax amounting to from to per
cent but II the Haug1and bill was passed
their taxes would amount to from Is to 20
per cent, Which would mean confiscation
NO action was taken by the COMMITTEES.

philosophy behind this proposition is perfect and
It. is to be hoped that the suggestion will be
we'll utilized by social reformers. In the tropics
where the climate produces great thirst frequent
bathing Is the rule among all classes, the poor

less common than in the northern latitudes.
