TRENTON, Jan. IL, 1905-The re-
fusal of the Pennsylvania and other rail-
roads running into this city to grant
passes to politicians and others had
tendency to keep the attendance down in
both Houses last night. In the Senate
galleries there was scarcely a bakers
dozen during the session and whether it
was the slim audience or lack of business
President Bradley adjourned the meet

of the Legislature for years and who
were never known to miss day were

The session in the House was almost

ton over the adoption of rules, but moth

prevailed.

Senator Colby introduced a similar

provides for the investigation Of the

taxing district the amount obtained by
multiplying the value of all the property
in such taxing dustrict by the rate Of
taxation therein shall be deemed 10 be

asd the aggregate of said total taxes so
ascertained shall be deemed to be the

''The average rate of taxation shall
be computed by the aggregate value of
the general property in the State; which
said rate so arrived at and determined
shall be entered upon the records of the
State Board of Assessors and shall con-
stitute the average rate Of taxation for

Provision is also made in the bill that

Assessors as required by law, the State
Board may make an investigation to as
certain the aggregate value of property

SCISSOR has failed to perform his duty.
The bill was referred to the Commit
tee on Judiciary, of which Mr.. Perkins
is chairman, and 1T will probably be kept
there until the advocates of equal taxa
tion have been given an opportunity TO
present other measures, when it will
probably be reported favorably. Then
all other tax measures will be consigned
to the graveyard and the administration
will triumph.

Martin, was not to be denied, however,

advertised as the Colby equal tax bill,
the provisions of which have already
been published in the News
1t was referred to the Judiciary Com
mittee, where it will probably sleep the
everlasting sleep, unless Mr.. Martin
succeeds in securing a majority vote of
the House to force the committee to re-
port his pet measure
Mr.. Martin said last night that he had
not abandoned all hope that the Judici-
ary Committee would not kill the Colby
equal tax measure by refusing TO report
it. He purposes to fight to the last ditch
and he viii place the administration in
an unenviable position before the session
is ended unless opportunity he given him
to fight for the passage of the bill ON
its merits.
Assemblyman Joseph Calvin. Of
Hudson, who represents Colonel Diclain-
sons home district and who is one of
the Colonefs staunchest supporters, sur
prised both the Record Co'.Ay forces and
the administration men by introducing an
equal tax measure. the provisions Of
which will benefit Hudson County more
than any equal tax measure that has
ever been agitated. Mr.. Galvin's bill
provides that>the main stem of railroad
property shall be assessed by the local
assessors of each taxing district for the
benefit of the municipality wherein such
main stem property is located, The
measure does not provide how much
money the State shall receive from such
assessment, but gives it all to the mu-
inequalities
Mr.. Calvin afterwards said that if the
Record Colby combination was sincere in
its advocacy of equal taxation it could
do nothing but support his bill.
