MANY IMPORTANT BILLS UP
Next Week Will be the Most Important
in the History of the Present SEES
sion of the Legislature No Sign of
Adjournment

The assembly committee on tele-
phone, telegraph and express heard
arguments yesterday afternoon on the
bill providing for a 20 per cent fiat
reduction of express charges in this
state The principal speaker against
the measure was Edward Mack, a Mil
Waukee attorney, who appeared for the
express companies. He declared that
the railway commission was now MAX
ing an investigation of the express
charges and he appealed to the com
mlttee to recommend no bill of this
kind for a reduction in express rates
until the members had given the mat
ter investigation. Mr.. Mack said he
was perfectly willing the committee
should give the subject a thorough in
vestigation, but that any body which
looked into the charges of the express
companies with view to reducing
them whether it be the railway COM
mission or committee of the legis-
lature, should make a study of the
question before making any cut in the
tariffs. The bill was also opposed by
E. G. Wright, who appeared for the
Chicago & Northwestern railroad. He
said the express companies could not
increase their volume of business be-
cause the railway companies could not
handle any more express than they
wer" now carrying. He also declared
that the railroad companies carrying
charge for the express was now fifty
five per cent of the express company
receipts from the freight business and
an increase had recently been made
of five per cent because it was found
the railroads could not afford to carry
the business for a less amount. Even
this charge of ffty-fve per cent, was
considered, Mr.. Wright said, by the
Northwestern officials as too low. AS
semblymap Hurlbut, who introduced
the bill, appeared for the measure and
argued that higher rates were being
charged by express companies in Wis
consin than in other states.

There is some gossip going the rounds
regarding the intentions Of the powers

so far there have been no actual de-

Assemblyman Viebahn, chairman of
the educational committee of the as
sembiy did not desire that the uniform
text book bill be given to that com
mittee and in some ways more or less
of an injustice was done him in the
fight which was made by the book
company men to get the bill over to
the educational committee from the
printing committee. In other words
Mr.. Viebahn was unintentionally load
ed down with some Of the book COM
pany fight, when he was in no way
responsible in the matter.
Mr.. Viebahn has always been a hard
working and conscientious member of
the legislature and none of his col
leagues for a minute has considered
that he was in any way in sympathy
with the kind of battle which has
been put up by the book men against
the uniform text book bill, which fight
was the basis of the criticisms raised
by Assemblyman Mahon against the

The assembly committee on educa-
ton is considering the bill for the
remodeling of the Milwaukee teachers
pension fund law. This measure
which is an entirely separate bill
from the state teachers fund measure,
provides that a sum not larger than
one per cent Of the school appropria-
ton of the city of Milwaukee shall be
devoted to the Milwaukee teachers
pension fund, provided the Milwaukee
teachers who are subscribers to the
fund raise a like amount. This bill
has already passed the senate and will
be reported on favorably by the COM
mittee of the assembly. The Misses
Nellie Minnehan and Mary Hannah,
representatives of the Milwaukee
Teachers association, appeared before
the assembly committee on education
this week on behalf of the bill. There
is no doubt of its receiving a favor
able report to the assembly from the
committee on education. It will prob
ably be reported back to the house
next week.

In the above figures the story
of the work of the state board
of equalization is told as to the
valuations of the different classes
of property in the state. Mem
bers of the board hold that they
paid little or no attention to the
assessments of last year; that
they aimed this year to establish
a new basis, based on what they
considered the actual cash value
of the property, and that for this
reason the figures of year ago
were of little assistancse to them.
1t is limited that this position
is now taken to justify the higher
percentage of increase on the rail
roads than on the other forms of
property, and in this connection
it is pointed out that $16,5O0 as
the highest valuation placed on
any mile of main line of railroad
was but one-fifth, or 20 per cent
of actual cash value, while all
other forms of property were sup
posed to be assessed at 40 per
cent of cash value. Five times
$4,000 is $82, 500, or about the
value placed on main line rail
roads in Oregon and Washington
by the tax commissions after
thorough investigation of all the
elements that enter into the val
ne of railroad property.
For all practical purposes the
total valuation for the year is
$330,000,00 and as the state boart
of equalization agreed that il
had reached a basis of 70 pei
cent of cash value for all classes
OF property, the valuation of ths
state may be said to be $471 900,
900.
Railroads increased in value
according to the figures givel
500, 6S8, 551.20 compared with tn
valuation of $22, 1872, 475.70 of las
year. This makes an increase o
222 per cent.
Telephone valuations increased

Twin Falls Gets Big Cut.
Valuations ON the real and per-
sonal property as reported to the
state board of equalization by
the various county auditors total
ed 274,533,076.47. This, compar-
ed with the total after equaliza-
ton, shows a reduction of $21,

Twin falls was favored with
the greatest reduction of any
county in the state. The reduc-
ton in this county was over $5,-
i 100000, but 100000 of this
was accounted for in the cut made
on the property of the Twin-Fall'

of practically 100000. The Gu
in Kootenai was practically So,
