Upon at the Republican Confer

Tells What the Committee Agreed Upon in Refer
ence to the Tax Question. but is Not Yet
Certain When He Will Call the Ex
ira Session of Legislature


In an interview on the question Of
calling an extra session of the Lcgisla,
ture, Governor A. b. White DISCUSSES
the matter in the following fashion:
'srhe committee OF ten reached an
agreement, and am especially CRATE.
ful that it Is SO, The basic principle.
of the tax commission report is the
abolition OF the direct State tax Of IS
cents on the sloO valuation. The com.
mittec, in the resolutions adopted by
them agreed to the abolition of all di.
rect taxes upon one condition, aud tnat
was that a constitutional amendment
should be submitted to the people re.
pcaling any provisions of the State con.
stitution which might be in the way Of
abolishing all State taxes.
''The committee agreed npon revenue
measures which would enable the Iegis.
lature, ii it approves, to reduce direct
State taxes from IS cents to 20 cents in
the year 1905, and TO further reduce them
from 20 cents to 10 cents in the year
1905. The remaining 10 cents OF direct
State taxes are to be taken of If the peo.
pie ratify the constitutional amendment
and viii therefore, come before another
Legislature than the present one. which
will be called in special session TO con

ing the bills before issuing the call for

sued. however, as soon as feel iusti
fed in doing 50, and special session viii
be held some time this year. The com
mittse of ten did not agree upon certain
proposed franchise taxes. but these mat
tiers win 80 over to be considered and
finally disposed Of when the last of the
direct State taxes are to be abolished.
Enough revenue measures were agreed
upon to justify the wiping ont Of the
saye-seventbs Of the present direct State
