 Detective Coile will arrive tomorrow from New Orleans with requisition pa- pers. The case against Robinson of stealing billiard balls from Haagers will probably be filed away that he may be taken to New Orleans to an- swer the more serious offense.

AFTER TAX DODGERS.
Bin Introduced By senator Alexan
| der Drawn for That Purpose.

Austin, Feb. 2l---Senate bin No.
1913. introduced by Senator Alexap-
der yesterday morning is probably
one of the most important measures
introduced during this session Of
the Legislature.
TIne bin as offered amends article
b09S Of the revised statutes by re-
qulring each person rendering prop
erty for taxation to make oath that
the inventory rendered contains n
fun, true and complete list Of all
taxable property and that it has been
listed at It's fair cash market value.
1t requires the assessor TO read said
oath to each person before the rem
dition is made anu to swear each
person making the rendition. The
bin amends article 500 by forfeit
| ing $50 out of the assessors com
the duties imposed by article sos
and requires the substance Of th
!. article to be printed on each asses
ment list. The purpose of this is tn;
each person may understand the r.
quirement Is binding upon the asses
sor.
The amendment 10 articles 512C
and 5124 enlarge the authority OF
the commissioners court so that they
have The power to summon witness
es or send for books and papers and
determine whether all property has
been listed, and If not, then to direct

Is WILD AND RADICAL.
Anti-Free Pass Bin Contains Many
Ridiculous Features Too Nu-
erous to Mention.

I ITO say the least OF 1t, that anti
free pass bill pending before the leg
iislature is amusing" said Colone
John F. Leblanc. general freight and
passenger agent Of the Cotton Belt
Its ridiculous features are too nu-
| merous to enumerat~ l do not think
that the railroads would object to a
conservative anti-pass bill, but the
bill that has already passed the SEN
ate scarcely has conservative fea-
ture about it.
THE provision that strikes me as
being most ridiculous and radical is
that permitting only officials and la
borers to ride on their own lines,
much less travel on pass over other
Texas lines. With such a law, COM
mercial agents, live stock agents,
travelling freight agents and passen-
ger agents could not travel over even
the roads that employ them to solicit
business; claim agents could not Wis
1t different localities to settle claims;
special agents could not investigate
company matters; the chief engineer
could not go out Of town to survey
TOR the construction Of a sidetrack
for a factory or merchant. sheriffs,
city marshals and firemen who pro-
tect the company properly could not
get transportation in exchange for
their courtesies; III fact, there are
only q few railroad employees who
could ride on the line which they
work for without paying thsir fare,
to say nothing of ehe prohibition -
pass riding on foreign lines.
To my mind. this proposed legis-
lation is wild and radical. IS unjus-
tilted by existing conditions and will
work hardship on the railroads as
well as on other interests. AS a suit
able law for Texas would suggest
the enactment OF the interstate
commerce law as regards TO free
