new STATE TAXES
ARE NOW IMPOSED.
Corporations of0ther States to Pay
Five Per Cent Upon their
ReCeipts in this State.

New Jersey lawyers representing
the corporations of other States which
do business in this State are consider
ably stirred. up on account of a new
tax law passed by the late Legislature.
The law, which is chapter 22l of the
law Of 1904, puts a tax of . per Gent.
on the gross receipts In New Jersey
corporations of other States doing
business here. Banking, insurance
railroad, express, pnrlor-car, surety
and companies using tho public streets
are exempted.
Each foreign corporation is re-
quired to file a copy of is charter and
to report to the State its annual III
come from business transacted in New
Jersey. The State assessors are to
tax this total business at 5 per cent.
The COMPANY taxed may appeal TO tho
board, in a formal way, and secure q
reduction of the tax, if it can show
that the taxes levied upon New Jersey
corporations by the State where the
foreign CORPORATION is Incorporated are
less than 5 per cent, and the board is
to make the New Jersey tax the same.
In short. the new law is retaIiatory.
Several States have laws taxing
foreign" companies, and in some
cases their acts are directed against
New Jersey companies especially.
The general object of the new laws
seem to be simply to get even." In

GOVERNMENT
MAY APPROVE
DRAW ONLY.
Decision in the New Raritan Riy,
er Bridge Matter Has MT
Been Made Public.

As far as can be learned no decision
has been rendered by the United
States War Department. in the matter
of the new Rar itan river bridge,
either in the hearing given before re-
personalities OF the department on
July s, or in answer to the letter sent
to the department by tho freeholders
on July IL, asking that the county be
allowed to complete the bridge &C.
cording to the original plans, ap-
proved by tho government in 1892.
Az the approval of the govern
-mea nN4Ae bridge, it has been
learned on very good authority that
this approval will only cover the
draw of the bridge over the channel
of the Raritan river. The govern
ment O itself about tho navi-
CATION of rivers and demands that
where navigable, navigation shall not
be stopped.
If the plans for the draw show that
the channel of the river is not inter
fered with by the draw in any way,
then those plans will undoubtedly re-
ceive the approval of the govern
ment's engineers, n the government
will not take any action in regard to
the construction OF the rest of the
bridge. The manufacturers who have
hoped to have the government de-
clare that the rest of the bridge must
be changed and bailt according to its
suggestions will be disappointed, as
It is not likely to make any sugges-
lions on that point.

some Of the other Srales the tax acts

The effect of this act will be to re-

of them are ignorance of the new act
and are likely to find themselves

One company has been taxed $1,000

will reap a large sum from this new
source of income.
Lawyers representing foreign com
panies claim tho law is unfair. Ono
of them said yesterday "This is o

is rather worse than the most objec-

Northwestern Puts Class D Tyre
On Overland LiTalted Trains.

To the Northwestern's Over
land Limited last night was at
tached one of the new engines
of the Glass d" type, which at
tracted much attention. These
engines are from the Schenect-
ady Locomotive worksand were
specially designed by North
western cngineere to meet the
requirements demanded by their
heavy transcontinental trains.
They are equipped with four
7-foot drivers, with two smaller
ones under the cab. They pos
sess the speed of the faster To-
comotives, and in addition hav4
the strength of the ordinary
slow going freight engines.
The water tanks are made
extra large to avoid frequent
stops. The big engine runs
from Boone to Council Bluffs,
la distance of $50 miles, without
stopping for water. An ingen-
ious contrivance enables the
engineer to throw five tons
extra weight from the tender
to the drivers in starting, which
prevents slipping and enables
the first revolution of the wheel.
to start the train.
These engines are equipped
with the Young valve gear, a
new invention attached to the
cylinder which utilities the
escaping steam and entirely
does away with the exhaust.
These big engines will be put
on all fast trains Of the North
western as fast as they are
turned out of the shops.
