THE SILLIEST
THING"
Republican Leader Places
His Party On Record On
the Subject of Equal
Taxation.
Mr.. HlHILLS VAIN EFFORT
His Attemp TO Re-introduce
the Taxation Bill Quickly
Frustrated BY Colby.
Mr.. HAHILLS VAIN EFFORT
Especial to ''The Jersey city News.''l

TRENTON, April 10, 1eo4.-Equal
taxation is SILLY thing in the judg-
ment of Republican Leader Colby of Es-
sex county.
This is what he stated in the house
yesterday afternoon when Mr.. Hamill in
troducee his bill providing for equal tax
atien, duplicate of the one he intro
dueed during the regular session of the
legislature.
When Mr. Hamill moved that his bill
go to second reading he said: "If>the gov
ernor saw fit to call us together in spec
ial session to consider the slaughter of
live pigeons for sport and to devise some
scheme of abandonment of the Morris
canal then how much more important
that the legislature take up this subject,
because it is of vastly more Importance
to the people at large and affects the
taxpayer in a vital manner
In reply, Leader Colby said: Il will
vote against the motion and if had the
power would have prevented the clerk
from even reading the title Of the bill.
1T is the silliest thing l ever heard
of. 1t is petty and contemplate at
tempt 70 make political capital. l believe
it ought to go to the committee and that
the committee ought to be instructed to
keep it."
He was quickly taken to task by
Messrs. Swackhamer. Hamill and Field
er, bnt he did not attempt to make any
fureher. reply to fheir arguments. and af-
ter short parliamentary struggle the bin
was teferred to the committee onrailroads
and canals the same committee that held
the same bill during the regular session
until it had adjourned sine die, and of
which committee Mr.. Colclough of this
city is chairman.

of the Passaic came to the Capitol and
had long interview with the Governor.
The mayors were opposed to hasty action
in passing the canal abandonment bill.
After the interview with the Governor
they Went to the Senate and stated their
case to the Senators before the confer
ence.
The mayors argued that if it took a
commission of experts year to go into
the canal abandonment problem the Leg
islature would be doing the wise thing
if it allowed the matter to go over for
another year and give the people and the
towns, cities and boroughs in the area
affected an opportunity to go into the de-
tails Of the scheme.
None of them were opposed to the
eventual abandonment of the canal, but
they were anxious that they be given an
opportunity to ascertain whether their
interests were properly safeguarded.
The Republican Senators went into
conference after the delegation of mayors
had departed and later announced their
intention Of leaving the canal alone
When this announcement was made
there was great scurry among the Re
nrhl;oov, ssn,,, l1l,,v,o,. - u 49,. r
hunted up all of the Essex bunch and
gave them their instructions. He want
ed them to go into caucus and decide to
take up the canal scheme, and the eau
Gus was held. The Essex delegation
could not win over It's co.lsa CUES, how
ever, and the best it could do was to get
the consent to send committee to the
Senate and say that the House was will
ing to consider the canal legislation
Speaker Avis named Lehlbach and
Scovel as the committee to wait upon
their colleagues in the upper House. TlAe
committee went and communicated the
message to the Republican Senators and
wage told that they could do what they
pleased in the matter, but as for the
Senate it would have nothing whatever
to do with it.
This ended the affair.
The sum total of the days work of the
special session was the passage of four
bills, three House and one Senate bill.
The Governor signed the pigeon bill
before returning to Newark.
