BLOOMINGTON, Ind, April 49,
Just as the Indiana university students
are recovering from the shock OF q
laundry trust being formed, they are
staggered by the news that clothes

There were, In the old days. prob
ably a dozen establishments, managed
by students and townspeople, for
pressing trousers, coats, overcoats.
vests and other garments, all OF them
charging low prices on account OF the
sharp competition. Thirty-tive cents
was the charge for pressing a suit ot
clothes. and trousers alone were creas-
ed for a dine. At that rate students
could afford 10 make an effort 10 LOOK

lishments, except one, have formed an
agreement 10 raise the prices.
They have drawn up compact and
hereafter will charge fifty cents for
pressing suits. thirty-fiye cents for
coats and fifteen cents for trousers.
Overcoats will not even be looked at
for less than seventy-ive cents.
AS result Of this raise In prices

40 vAL0REM BILL
IS REPORTED OUT
Telegraph and Telephone Companies
Are Affected-Local Assessment
Provided in Amended Bill.

LANSING. Mich. April 1S.-The
house committee on general taxation
last night reported out the house bill
taxing telegraph and telephone COM
panies on the ad valorem plan. IL pro-
vides that all companies having re-
ceipts under 81 900 shall be assessed
by the local assessing officials. The
house committee did not report out
the bill that passed the senate. but
reports out the house bill. amending
II so as To provide for the local taxa
ton OF companies.
A motion To make the ad valorem
bill the special order for this after
noon was defeated. AZ 10 "A. a two
thirds vote being required. Rep.
fouch made the motion &c have the
bill considered today, but Rep. Miller,
chairman of the house committee on
general taxation, said he thought the
measure should take its regular
course as there were no valid reasons
to put IL ahead of other bills.
Representative Sanders, OF Ingham
member OF the general taxation com.
mittee, jumped To his feet and said
he knew nothing OF the action OF the
committee In reporting the bill. there
fore he would vote for immediate
action. Representative Champion said
II was urgent that the ad yalorem kill
should be passed Immediately. He IN
ctdentally engaged in a TRADE against
Speaker Campbell's rulings. and Flow
ers. OF Detroit. called him to order.
Champion asked Miller why the COM
mittee had held back the bill for
nearly three months and tken report
the house measure instead OF the bill
passed by the senate. Miller respond
cd that committees were not ex-
pected in this manner to give out their
reasons In dealing with bills.
Rep. Giles. a member of the COM
mittee on taxation, said he voted 10
report out the house bill because he
considered 1t better than the senate
bill and further that there had never
been the least outside influence
brought to bear on the members OF
the committee to sway their action.
Here the previous question was or
dered and the vote taken on the mo-
ton to make the Fouch bill the spe-
cial order for this afternoon.
The lobbyists for the telegraph and
telephone companies are extremely ac-
tive today Notwithstanding the sting
ing rebuke administered yesterday by
Gov Warner, who sent q special mes
sage to the legislature. urging the pas.
sage Of the ad valorem bill taxing these
companies. The governor said the
deceit practiced by the telephone and
telegraph companies is proven by the
action OF an authorized representative
OF these companies sending from Lans-
ing last Friday to various state news
papers a long argument against the
BILL" The governor said this was a
fragrant and studied attempt to de-
ceive the public by attempting to make
1t appear that the publication was the
result OF Investigations made by the
representatives of the newspapers. in.
stead of being the paid advertisement
Of an argument prepared oy the COM
panies themselves"
