Phelps, Democratic representative from Jasper county, and presented to the Missouri legislature in support of his bill equalizing railroad assess. state board of equalization in fixing the valuation of railroad properties in Missouri for taxation. The board is now in session.
 Phelps, as legislative attorney of the Missouri Pacific Railroad com pany, became known also as a rail- road tax expert, having argued the tax question on behalf of his corpora tion before the legislature on many occasions

The Missouri, Kansas & Texas railroad properties are assessed, ac- cording to the Phelps figures, at $9,465 8 mile in Missouri, while Kansas taxes the same road $41 ,450 mile. Wisconsin assessment of the Chi cago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad Is $49,000, while Missouri demands only $11,200 a mile in taxes from that road according to the Phelps figures.
 Several of the comparisons made under the Phelps tabulaton between the taxes of the same roads in this and other states follow:
 The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe average assessed valuation per mile in Missouri, including branches, is Sl3,324. In Kansas the assessed val nation per mile is S492S2.
 The interstate branch of the Mis- souri Pacific is assessed in this state at $7540, and in Kansas at $23,5S0 Tho Fort Scott Central is assessed in Bates and Vernon counties at $914O per mile and in Bourbon county and Crawford county, Kan, at $3G,913 per mile.
 The St. Louis & San Francisco av- craze assessed valuation in Missouri per mile is S7,S1S; in Kansas, $39,012 per mile. The Joplin-Galena branch of the Frisco is assessed in Jasper county Mo, at $6,S00 per mile, and in Cherokee county, Kan, just across the line, it is assessed at $36,S31 per mile, and another branch of this road in Jasper county, Mo-, is assessed at S4,000 per mile, and in Kansas at over S30,000. The Rich Hill branch of this road in Bates county, Mo. at $S, 100 per mile, and the same branch across the line in Kansas is assessed at SPA. 9S0 per mile.
 The Missouri, Kansas & Texas branch line is assessed in Jasper county, Mo, at S2,675 per mile and across the line in Cherokee county. Kan, it is valued at $3O.696 per mile.

ity agreement with the United states char
acterized today's program in Parliament
Indications continue TO point to a pro-
tracted debate and long session.
AS viewed today the coronation is the

dicted that even that event will not bring

that Ministers Fielding, Graham and Sir

LONDON, March 2--So persistent have
been the attempts of the tariff reformers
in the House Of Commons TO ascertain
how far the British government and Am
bassador Bryce were involved in the
American Canadian reciprocity negotiar
tons that the Government mas decided to
issue white paper" on the subject. in
cluding the ambassadors report of the
whole matter.
The tariff party charges that the British
government engineered Canadian consent
TO reciprocity with the United States in
order to spike the guns of imperial pref
-erences
Sir Edward Grey refused to discuss the
subject. The foreign secretary proposed.
he said, to defer further statements until
the white paper had been issued.
