START EARLY ON
ROAD VALUATION

Washington, D. G, April 26.-The in
terstate commerce commission, pre-
pairing for the work of physical valua-
ton of railroads, in accordance with
an act of congress, is about to an
nounce the personnel of an advisory
board OF five engineers to assist the
commission in formulating plans of
work. The board will have direct
charge of valuation work in various
sections Of Ihe country - Approximate
lys 10, 608 applications for positions in
the physical valuation service Of the
commission have been received. 1t is
expected eventually several hundred
employees VIII be engaged in the work,
but with the exception of the advisory
board of engineers and a like number
Of administrative heads of other de,
partments Of the work, all employees
will be secured through the civil ser
vice commission. The advisory board
will meet shortly after May l and with
the cooperation of the commission
work out the engineering details OF
the proposed valuation. Direction OF
valuation work approved by the com
mission will be delegated to Commis
sioner Prouty. 1t is regarded as scarce
~ likely work can be completed under
five years. The cost is largely conjec
tural, but the lowest estimate by those
who have an intelligent idea is $1,S00,
900 a year.

turieS of Legislation
Throughout World.

Washington, D. c., April 26.-Com-
preh ensive analysis of the income tax
by representative Hull of Tennessee.
the tariff in the house. Other speak
ers are on the program for a discus
sion of the tariff itself
Hull replied to numerous comments
upon the provisions OF the income tax.
He declared the masses of the people
are paying most of the 1912, 100000
tariff taxes and most Of the state and
local taxes, save in a few states. He
asked: Where. then. is the injustice
of requiring receivers of incomes of
more than $4,000 to equalize in some
measure these tax burdens by contrib
uting less than S1OO,000,0OO to the
federal treasury"
No SECTIONALISM
He denies there is any sectionalisn
in the effects of the tax. The tax,
he said, is fair, productive, responsive
to changes in rates, and cheap of COL
lection. No honest taxpayer has any
thing to fear, he said. Against the
tlSrcI ilOu Illdl lue Js1A Was upon luEl!l,
industry and profits, Hull replied that
the tariff was a tax upon Consump-
ton, want and misery, and added that
the proposed income tax was measur-
ed by net profits or gains and not
imposed upon gross income, nor cap
ital. nor other property. He charac-
terized the income tax as the out
growth of centuries of tax Legislation
throughout the world. Victims of our
intangible invisible tariff taxes, with
all Llajr-featnreS of,spaiIatian and
plunder, will welcome the PROPOSED
tax; receivers of large incomes and
owners of great wealth should pre-.
pare to accept it as a permanent taG,
for it has come TO stay" said Hull.

Missouri Answers Insur-
ance Concerns With a
Court Action.
FINES ARE ALSO ASKED
Order IS Sought to Compel the
Companies to Continue Pro-
lection to Property.

Jefferson City, Mo-, April 26.--At-
torney General Barker filed in the SUI
preme court quo warranto proceed
ings against a number of fire insur-
ance companies on a charge of violat-
ing the antitrust law in combining to
withdraw from the state The attor-
ney general has asked that the COM
panies be fined.
The proceedings were directed
against 100 companies belonging to
the Western Insurance union. The in
formation charges the companies have
entered an unlawful combination to
refuse to write insurance in Missouri,
thus leaving the people without ade-
quate insurance protection; and to
cancel policies heretofore written,
which would cause financial calam-
ity. The court is asked to issue an
order restraining the companies from
leaving the state and to impose fines.
100 CONCERNS LICENSED.
There are l60 companies licensed to
do business in the state, and the pro
ceedings are instituted against those
who have taken part in the Philadel-
phia and Pittsburgh meetings, where
they have agreed to quit business in
this state.
United States Senator James A.
Reed was in consultation with Attor-
ney General Barker, and when he re-
turns to Washington he will introduce
a resolution for the investigation of the
insurance situation in Missouri, with
a view Of finding If the Sherman anti
'fefuseeE@ hhsyss6en vtofated.
Il He will confer with representatives
from Missouri bsfprss he takes: action.
but it is almost certain that the In
vestigation will be asked for.
None of the companies has notified
the state insurance department of
their withdrawal from the state. They
can only withdraw by permission OF
the state insurance department, and
the state holds jurisdiction over them
pending any controversy which may
arise.
GOVERNOR REFUSES.
Little hope was expressed that the
governor would reconsider his an.
nounced purpose of refusing to call an
extra session, and it was then sug.
gested that the law be referred to the
electorate under the referendum. What
course ultimately shall be adopted
probably will be decided next Thurs
day
Though the companies threaten to
cease writing insurance in Missouri
on April 80, the Insurance situation is
not expected to become critical that
early, as the companies now are writ
ing insurance that will be in effect un-
til June %.
