DAWSON EXPLAINS IT.
Says Proposed Sessions Law Is Like
That of New York.

Attorney General John S. Dawson to-
day gave out the following interesting
interview on the franchise tax bill:
1.-THE Sessions bill imposing an an
nual franchise tax on private corpor-
ations now pending before the legisla-
ture is the same in principle as the
New York franchise tax which was
hammered through the New York leg
islature by Governor Roosevelt IL years
ago. Roosevelt had to call two or
three special sessions of the legislature
before it was enacted. The theory of
the franchise tax is that as state
grows it's commerce and business be-
come complicated and its governmental
needs of revenue become so great that
the simple property tax cannot sup
port the burdens of government with
out depressing the average citizen VINO
has only house and lot or small
tract of land or small stock. OF mer-
chandise, and that the state must find
other sources of revenue, and none so
just as the franchise tax upon private
corporations.
Private corporations enjoy many
privileges granted by the state, and
students and teachers of political econ
omy have long contended that they
ought to pay for these privileges. Act
ing on this contention 80 states now tax
the corporate franchise in one form or
another, and the supreme court OF the
United States has repeatedly held that
the franchise-the right to be a corpor-
ation-is something apart from its
physical assets which may be rightly
taxed as such. Much effort is being
made to confuse the public mind as to
| the merits of the bill and fault is
found that public service corporations
are not included in this bill The rail-
roads and such like public service cor
porations would be highly pleased to
come under the provisions of this bill,
but their franchises are already taxed
| with their physical properties Banks
are not subjected to this tax because
congress has prescribed the only law

WILLIAM DAVIS DEAD.
As an Engineer He Helped Build the
j.. X. & w. Railroad.

Leavenworth, Kan, Feb. 2.-William
]. Davis, for years one of the best
known railroad men in Kansas, and la
ter quite as prominent in insurance
circles. is dead at his home, after a
brief Illness
Born in Pennsylvania, Mr. Davis at
an early age, through the death of his
parents. was required to make his own
living, and learned the machinists trade.
Later he became locomotive engineer
and is said to. have operated the first
passenger train between Chestline, 0.
and Pittsburg. Pa. In the civil war
in the capacity of engineer, he was en-
gagged in transferring troops of the
Union army to and from the south.
In 1869 Mr.. Davis. aecompa nied by
his family, came to Kansas where he
accepted a position of engineer on the
Kansas Central. now the main line of
the Union Pacific railroad. Settling at
Wamego, he later was given charge of
the machine shops and roundhouse at
Armstrong.
When constructio operation on the
L. K. & w. was started he came to
Leavenworth where, with several 9TH
ers. he contracted for the construction
of the stretch between Holton and
Onaga, Kan. Following this venture he
launched into the grain business at Ho1-
ton, but in 1881 again came to Leaven-
worth and was given position of mas
| ter mechanic of the L. K. & W., later
being made superintendent.

SHE HAD WARNING.
Mrs. TurnbuH Was Told to Beware of
Lucky Baldwin.

Los Angeles. Feb "A determined
but unsuccessful effort was made in
the Lucky Baldwin case by Mrs Turn
bulls attorneys to have the court dis
regard all evidence concerning her al
legged intimacy with Colonel Albert
Pope.
The subject was opened by the eff
fort of the attorneys for the estate to
have witness, Col. A. NJ. Stephens,
identify a copy of an agreement made
in 1898. by which Mrs. Turnbull was
to relinquish all claims on Colonel
Pope in consideration of receiving a
$4,000 home in Pasadena from him.
Colonel stephens. who acted as at
torney here for Colonel Pope told of
the existence of such an agreement,
which he said he had obtained from
Mrs. Turnbull and sent to James R.
Woods Pope's Boston representative,
when the Pasadena property. was
turned over to her. Mrs. Turnbull has
denied the existence of such an agree
ment. Her attorneys objected to this
line of testimony and endeavored to
have all testimony concerning Mrs
Turnbulrs relations with men other
than E. J. Baldwin stricken from the
record. The court oyerruled the OBJ
| lection.
Mrs Laurie Wilson James. now of
Baker county, Oregon. testified to hav-
ing met Mrs. Turnbull, then Miss Ash
| ley. when the latter paid a visit to her
fathers stock farm near Cynthiana,
Ky, in 1892. Mrs. James says she
warned Miss Ashley that Baldwin was
already twice married and had a
grown daughter.
Mrs. James testified she had dis
cussed Baldwin with Miss Ashley. tell
| ing her that no young woman could
afford to number such a man among
her acquaintances. Mrs. James de-
clared she told Mrs. Ashley of Bald
wins possessions in California and of
his being married and being the ia
Their of at least one grown girl.
Mrs. James was at least one of
those to whom Mrs. Turnbull assert
ed she had written, telling of her con-
tract marriage with Bald win. But the
witness asserted she never received a
letter from Mrs. Turnhull to that eff
feet. Mrs. James, however, said that
during the trial of Mrs. TurnbulTs
damage suit against Baldwin in 1896,
she had received one letter from Mrs.
Turnbul1 in which the latter had writ
ten:
do not think too hard of me.
Laurie, you would not if you knew
ALL
Mrs. James declared she never had
understood from anything Mrs Turn
bull ever wrote her or told her that she
had been married.
E. Babcock. who in 1893 was man
ager of the Hotel Del Coronado, testi-
fed that when Baldwin was there
with Mrs. Turnbull he had introduced
her as his daughter and not as his

ture a few days prior and said the al
vance in the value of property was not
keeping pace with the demands OF the
state for Improvements.
Late Wednesday afternoon the ways
and means committee decided to rec
ommend for passage the bill favoring
a state fair at Hutchinson and carry
ing with it an appropriation of
100000.
Several big committee meetings
Wednesday night gave the members
of the upper house ample work. The
railroad committee fought over the
Bender headlight bill, the ways and
means committee tackled the Kansas
university budget. the educational
committee wrestled with the Barnes
high school proposition and the sub
railroad committee continued their
patching of the public utilities bills.
Senator Caldwell is of the opinion
that tne county central committees do
not perform enough real work for the
party candidates and he proposes to NIX
the law to enable the candidates to
name the members of the committee,
who shall themselves agree on a chair
man and secretary. He has prepared
a new bill which provides that follow
ing the primaries, the successful can
didates shall meet and name members
of the committee from the various pre-
cincts. who shall organize and conduct
the campaign. Under the present sys-
tenn, the members of the committee are
named at the primary and it frequent
ly occurs that the members thus cho-'
sen pay little or no attention to the
campaign and the county and state
tickets are slaughtered in a disgrace
full fashion.

selves" said Caldwell, "and a commit
tee thus chosen will go to work and
do things. In my district we have lost
a good many battles because We did
not have the right men on the COM
mittee. 1t is an important organiZa-
ton and a member of the committee
should not only feel personal inter-
est in the success of the candidates.
but he should have pretty thorough
knowledge of the game"
