of General Charles l.. Hodges, for
some time past in command of the De-
partment of the Lakes, was placed on
the retired list for age today, leaving
behind him a brilliant record OF eff

vidence, r. l., in 1S47 and entered the
army as a volunteer and a private in

geant major. In 1869 he entered the
regular army service and has served
continually in 1t since. becoming a
brigadier-general in 1907 and a major
general last year. Prior to his trans
fer to Chicago Gen. Hodges was in
command of the Department OF Da-
kota, with headquarters in ST. Paul.
The prospective retirement of Gen.
Hodges led TO a vigorous contest in
the early part OF the winter for the va
cant major-generalship. The contest
was waged between friends OF Brig.
Gen. Arthur Murray, Chief of Coast
Artillery, and Brig. Gen. Frederick
Funston. who has headed the list of
brigadi diar-generals for several years.
The contest ended in favor of Gen.
Murray, who consequently was ad-
vanced TO the rank OF major-general
today upon the retirement of Gen.
Hodges. The new maior-general had
an enviahle record in the Philippines.

amount TO about Sl5.O0C.OOO. will re-
ceive consideration.
Plans OF those behind the move

trunk system OF highways
The necessity for the proposed
trunk system, it is pointed out. is

Columbus, o., March 13. - Repre-

public utilities, from 3-20 of l per

ally requested the house to stand
for it.
Langdon will fight that amendment
but not in the role OF Republican
leader. He will make no effort to or
ganize the Republican representa-
tives against it, He will make the
fight to save the Democratic state
administration revenue to carry on
the state government.
No cne was more astonished than
he to hear what the committee had
done to his bill. Last year all the
excise taxes were raised on the
ground that the state must have the
money, having appropriated S1,50O.-
900 in excess of receipts. First, the
Cole law taxes OF public utilities
were increased. .hen the excise rate
on private corporations was increas-
ed by 1-20 of l per cent as their

Taxes Raised Last Year.
The corporations affected by the
Willis law have not paid on the in
creased rate, as 1t does not go into
effect until May of this year. The
taxation committee proposes they
shall never pay on il, but insists on
retaining the increase on public SER
vice corporations. Langdon will tell
the house that the committee favored
the class of taxpayers that already
was most favored.
Chairman William T. Smith OF the
committee assigned various reasons
for the reduction. among them that
as the property Of these corporations
was TO be put on the local tax dupli.
Gates at full value 'it would be soak
ing them twice" for the state not to
reduce the tax on capital stock.
Chairman Smith said the commit
tee thought about as much Willis tax
would be collected under the lower
rate, because many corporations were
surrendering their charters and be-
coming partnerships to escape in
creased tax
Representative Tidrick OF Carroll.
member of the committee. gave up a
trip home after adjournment to in
Vestigate that assertion. He found IL
to be fallacious. After examining
the records he said:
There was greater increase OF
capital stock OF Ohio corporations in
1910 than in 1909. In the last fiscal
quarter. Nov Is, 1910 to Feb. Is,
1911. the increase was greater than
for any previous quarter, and de-
creases were less than ever before

There will be an elevator ready to

the railroad is completed and the cars

The timbers for the railroad bridge
