measures which are dignifed with the title OF
grab" bills. and not infrequently deserve the
appellation. There always comes a time IN
every session when a series of vicious meas
ures designed to deprive the public of rights
actually possessed. to relieve corporations of OBJ
legations fairly imposed to confer benefits
without compensation arouse public clamor
There are corporations which keep lawyers at
work throughout the year studying existing
laws, TO find how the change of a word or line
will confer disproportionate benefits. AS d.
rect result there came the franchise bills. re-
viving old and frequently deceased grants. For
example, not a few OF the careful watchers are
expecting a bill which will render available the
grant of an old charter still alive, which per-
mits the building of elevated railroad straight
across the city on line with Delancey-st. The
new Brooklyn Bridge terminal plans will carry
the present Third-ave. elevated railroad far up
Centre-st and an innocent little bill' would
permit an extension of this line to connect with
the Delancey-st. elevated from the Williams
burg Bridge, without compensation to the city,
and thus dispose of a franchise worth millions
of dollars In due time some bill doing this in
an underhanded and entirely secret fashion may
be expected.
The Court OF Appeals. in a recent decision,
brought CONSERVATION to those who have been
waging the fight for transfers by declaring that
the penalty law for transfer refusals could only
be interpreted as penalty for all violations
at q specific time. A year ago they decided
against the right of mandamuS as a remedy, on
the ground that a vigorous application" of the
penalty remedy was the proper method Last
year the various anti-transfer bills, widely
known as the Wallace anti-transfer measures
although not all introduced by ex-Assemblyman
Wallace aimed at accomplishing approximate
Iy the same end. An attempt TO apply the re-
suits Of the Court of Appeals decision to the
benefit of the New-York City Railroad may be
expected at the present session.
Again Elm-st. remains without it's New-York
City Railroad line, asa result, in no small meas
ure of The Tribune's exclusive exposure last
winter Of the hidden purpose Of revocation

the Improvement assessments OF property hold

be expected.
In still another field where The Tribune's ex-
elusive exposure defeated attempted vicious
New-York tribune., 1905-01-08

legislation namely in the mandatory voting
machine law, a renewal of the assault is TO be
expected. Last year at the eleventh hour a
joker was discovered in the Davis voting ma
chine bill which would have cost New-York City
alone $2O0OO00 and the communities of the
State no less than $5,O00.OO and forced them to
spend it in buying the kind OF voting machine
decided upon by two men absolutely unknown to
the public. A strong lobby composed of the
agents of q certain voting machine supported
the measure to the bitter end, which came in the
shape of a massacre for the bill was simply
overwhelmed. But it is known that the same
influences that nursed this scheme are at work
once more.
The following is brief summary OF the gen.
eral character of the vicious legislation TO be ex-
pected: one more of the great grab" bills of
last session, that increasing the power of the
Niagara, Lockport and Ontario Power Company
which was vetoed by eX- Governor OdeH after
passing the legislature, along with the Rerpsen
East River Gas bill. will be up again. More
over. that corporation has already taken ad-
vantage Of the charter ii possesses and begun
active work. Assemblyman Thompson of Mag
ara, who introduced the old measure. has an
nounced that the new measure will be drawn to
avoid many of the criticisms OF last session, but
not the condemnation feature. prompt re-
newal of the old fight is therefore certain
But all these various measures are of little
public menace when their real import is known:
not a single one OF the anti-transfer and street
railway grab" bills ever passed either branch
last year, and Governor Higgins is not likely TO
fall short OF Ex-Governor Odelrs example in de-
stroying the other bad bills that manage 10
squirm through the legislature. OF his future
attitude such points. his long career In the
Senate furnishes an unerring indication

war cry Of home rule may be raised. Tax Com
missioner William L. Halpin, president of the
New-York County committee discussed this pro-
posed measure with Governor Higgins last week.
RAILROAD REGULATION.
One of the most important measures Of last
session was that advocated by the Merchants
Association, providing for the increase of the
membership of the Railroad Commission from
three 10 five members. the two new members TO be
expert engineers familiar with the street surface
conditions OF New-Yo City. Unfortunately for
the friends of this measure. who saw in it a rem
edy for the congested conditions OF New-York
City traffic. this bill precipitated political con-
fict which rendered It's passage absolutely i'm
possible. After heated debates and long ses-
sions the Assembly Rules Committee failed to
report IT. dividing 3 to 3. Speaker Nixon and
Assembyman Bedel, on the Republican SIDE
and Senator McCarren's Assemblyman McKeown
voting to report, and Assembymen Rogers, Mon
and Palmer the latter the Democratic floor
leader. voting against it. That the fight will be
renewed this year is believed by small num-
ber of legislators. but the conditions have ma
terially changed. and there seems to be evidence
that neither support opposition will be so
keeny political in its character.
TAX, ON MORTGAGES.
Mortgage tax is an old ground of difference
among legislators. For half a dozen years it has
been before the legislature. Ex-Governor Odel
advocated it in several messages. Last year, in
the form Of the Bostwick bill, providing a ten
mill record tax, the message was considered and
died in Assembly Rules. the graveyard cf all i'm

STATE REVENUES.

That the State revenues are going to the bow
vows furnishes another interesting feature Of
proposed legislation. This step will not, how
ever. be attended with the usual consequences,
for there is promise of from $75OOO0 to 1.OOO,- :
600 new revenue from this canine source. The
Department Of Agriculture proposes a 50 tax on
the half million dogs OF the State, primarily as
a preventive against the rapidly increasing men,
of rabies; secondarily as profitable source
of revenue to be equally divided between the
community and the State. From the States
moiety it is asserted that enough revenue can be
raised to support the Department of Agriculture
the Geneva Experimental Station, the Cornell
School Of Forestry, the various farmers insti-
tutes, and also deal with epldemics of rabies
Incidentally il is believed that this legislation
by decreasing the number of dogs will benefit
sheep raisers.
MENDICANTS.
There are in addition to the foregoing scores of
measures of more direct local bearing or less
general interest. For example, the Charity Or
ganIzation Society of New-York City, as a re-
suit of it's experience at the hands of the Tam
many Commissioner of Charities, Frank Lantry
is drawing an amendment 10 the Penal Code
based the Massachusetts law. providing
proper penalty for fake paraIytics strong
arm beggars and various other types of able
bodied mendicants who live by fraudulent ap-
peal 10 public generosity and who through DO
litical influence have been able to escape pun
ishment at Hart's Island. Various charitable
workers preparing law permitting the
transfer OF inmates of State institutions, pre-
vent overcrowding and other incident evils
Sheriff Erlanger also means TO urge the passage
OF bill that will his official guests from
Ludlow-st. jail to the Tombs
STREET sPRINKLING.
AS a result OF The Tribune's agitation. an
anti-sprinkling measure is TO be introduced.
This bill will be designed to prevent the mum
dations OF public thoroughfares, and notably
the pleasure avenues OF New-York City, to the
consequent peril OF life and limb of pedestrian
automobilist and equestrian alike. Last ses-
sion a little bill which sought TO abolish the
turnstiie nuisance on the elevated railroads met
untinlely end. This year. with the subway
addition TO the tuInstile abuses. the measure
seems likely TO reappear. Buffalo viii have an
