Citizens of the United States have

COUNCIL SESSION
PROMISES TO Be
MOST IMPORTANT
Mayor viii Give His Opinion
Of Last Administration and
the Autoists Will Emit a
Loud Wall.
SANE FOURTH MATTER
WILL GET AN AIRING
Some Think 1t is a Injustice to
Young America - Others
Think Skyrockets Should
Be Permitted.

The council meeting tomorrow even
ing promises to be a very important
one. No doubt it will attract large
number of citizens interested in the
various matters up for consideration.
There are several ordinances which
will come up for consideration. Prob
ably the two of most general interest
are the vehicle tax bill, and the bill
regulating the celebration of Inde-
pendence day, in safe and sane man.
ner. The vehicle ordinance comes up
for reading by the title and considera-
tlon of amendments. The automobil-
lists of the city will offer opposition to
the measure, claiming that the pro-
posed tax on autos is entirely too high
and beyond reason
The ordinance regulating the Fourth
OF July celebration will come up for
final action, following consideration
of proposed amendments. An effort
will be made to keep sky rockets on the
eligible list. It is probable some op-
position will develop to the entire
measure, some of the city officials be-
lieveing that it is too conservative.
Mayor Will Use Hammer.
Mayor Zimmerman will have an in
teresting criticism of the recent ad-
ministration of the city government.
He stated at the meeting two weeks
ago that he had the matter ready for
reading at that time, but withheld it,
owing to pressure of other business.
President Hammond of the board of
works, will introduce an ordinance
which will be of the utmost Importance
to the police force. 1t will provide that
all second hand dealers, brokers and
pawn shop proprietors make a daily
report to the police of articles which
come into their possession. There will
be number of reports to be made and
the usual routine of complaints and
suggestions of the city fathers to be
gone through with.

Washington, April 30.-President
Taft's railroad bill is in extremes.
It has been "shot to pieces" in the
house. The adoption Of the feature
directing a physical valuation of all
railroads by the interstate commerce
commission incorporates in the bill
Lafollette's demand urged upon con-
gress for years and now a part of the
Wisconsin statutes relating to rate
regulation of interstate carriers The
placing OF telegraph and telephone
lines under the interstate commerce
commission control as instruments of
interstate commerce has stirred those
interests to action.
Yesterdays vote in the senate on
the Cummins amendment thoroughly
alarmed the senate leaders. But for
the absence of four democrats who
lodged, one republican insurgent,
Brown of Nebraska, who flunked to
Aldrich at the last minute and the
manipulation Of Senator Flint's pair
by the Aldrich leadership, the Cum
Minis amendment would have prevail
ed. A second test vote will come Mon
day and the democrats and insurgents
feel certain of a victory.
Senator Cummins's amendment new
in form. but practically the same in
substance was re-offered yesterday
and will be voted on Monday probably.
The struggle is to retain for the inter-
state commerce commission control
over rates. The new Cummins amend
ment requires that all increases of
rates the result of agreement by car
riers must he approved by the inter-
state commerce commission before
they can become effective
II this amendment is adopted it will
mark the first victory of tfhe insur-
gents. The Dixon amendment abol-
ishing the excessive rate for short
hauIs to intermediate points on the
trunk lines to the coast has practical
ly been forced on the leaders. A bevy
of railroad attorneys led by George r.
Peck. OF Chicago. general counsel Of
the Chicago. Milwaukee and st. Paul
is here to oppose the amendment.
But the friends of the amendment
have practically forced an agreement
from the leaders to accept it.
Altogether the outlook is that the
bin as amended win be so unsatisfac-
be allowed to pass.
It's failure is generally predicted in
