most important measures introduced in
that body this session were passed and
sent to the Senate. One was the bill In
troduced by MIR. Porter of Wilmington
from the committee on ways and means
relating to the taxation OF corporations.
which provides an additional revenue of
$4,000 annually by an increased tax on
the steam and electric railroads Of the
State, and the other establishing a State
highway commission. and appropriating
$4,000 for improved highways. The
salary to he paid the State highway com
missioner occasoned some discussion. Mr..
Finn of Springfield wished to make II
81, oDo per year Mr. Kicker OF Groton
thought 1850 was sufficient, and COM
promise was effected by making the
salary 1850. with 500 for clerk hire.
This bill also, provides for tho appoint
ment by tho State highway commits soner
of county supervisors, to be paid 81 per
day for time actually spent. Some op-
position developed to the bill because It
was thought this $4,000 which Is APP
proprlatcd would come out OF
the money now raised by the per cent
state tax for permanent road work, but
when it was explained that tho amount
appropriated in the bill to-day is possible
because of tho additional amount that
will be raised by the bill decreasing the
taxation of corporations. no further OPP
position to the bill developed.
The House killed the Senate bill which
reduced tho fees OF State witnesses to 81
per day iretead of s. per day as the law
now is. Since the per diem of witnesses
has been 81. 1t has caused an increase in
court expenses Of $4,000 a year.

To insert the recall provision for un-

and IT Is said that the temperance peo-
ple Will endeavor to regulate the num-
