an investigation Of conditions at the
Industrial school by some OF the sen
atOrs, who report the Dullolns IN an
extremely dilapidated cOnuluOn, not
orIv rnfit for use for the purpose 10
which IL IS devoted, but positively dan
serous 1t is also the opinion or many
that Benson IS not the proper lOca-
ton for an Institution Of this kind;
and there Is a pretty strong sentiment
in favor Of a change As soon as this
suggestion was made WILCOX came
10 the front to press its claims and
since that time there has been mucn
hurrying and scurrying about by rep
resentatfves Of the two towns It iE
probable a majority OF the senators
favor the removal OF the institution
from Benson but ii is uncertain now
the house viii view the matter.
Physical Valuation Measure.
The physical valuation question has
at last come up It has been injected
into the senate by c. B. Wood in the
form OF a bill providing that telegraph
and telephone companies shall De
taxed on this basis, and there Is an
other bill by the same author proVld-
ing for the taxation Of railroads IN
the same manner A further taxation
bill by Wood fixes a tax OF percent
on the gross receipts Of express com
panies This IS g little more liberal
than the house bill dealing with the
same subject. which fixes the rate at
percent Express companies now pay
I percent in this state
The equalization board bill has been
recommended to the senate for pass
age. This bill provides for the appoint
ment by the governor Of an eQuaIlza-
ton board to consist Of three mem

ment is one by representatlve CGrIy,

introduced a bill providing that mu-
inequalities shall have the right TO

cases where the money IS to be used
for public utilities
ChapIaina Get Salary Increase.
Salaries Of the two chaplains at the
state prison have been raised from
500 to $500 q year by a bill just in
frOduced IN the house. A mistake IN
printing the bill made the chaplains'
salaries 100000 z year each and was
the cause Of some merriment by the
statesmen
The house bill permitting the sale Of
Phoenix sewer bonds has been killed :
an opinion by the attorney general /
is to the effect that the measure IS J
constitutional
Tipping IN all its forms is 10 be rig I
