Finance Committee. Questions Legality
 Of Warner Tax Bill
By Asaociated Prese.l

Hartford, May 1.-The legislative committee on Finance having under consideration the bill of Donald T. Warner of LitchfieId county, for a tax upon the license of corporations to do business in this State, has asked At torney General Light to give an opin- ion. as to the legality of such g tax. The amount proposed is 1-S of one per cent. on the capital stock of all cor pOrationS except those which are, tax ed in some other way.
 It is recalled by members of the House who are interested in this prop osition to raise additional income by taxation, that Mir. Warmer, the auth Or Of the bill, together with Senator John H. Perry were protectors of the rights of small towns in the constitutional convention. The contention is made by RepreSentative L. W. Wilson of Brid geport, relative to the proposed manufacturers license tax, that the State has been levying upon the homes and farms, as a class, up to their market value, while the property of the corporations. worth $517. 900, 900, Iac- cordine to the sworn statements to the Board of Commerce and Labor at Washin gtor, two years ago, has been taxed, after deducting the federal rev enue tax, scarcely more than one-half of one per cent.
 The Finance connfttee claims that, the imposition of the license tax, as proposed, would still make the total of the manufacturers assessment less than one per cent. on their capital stock It Is said that the reporting of this will depend in a small meas ure on the opinion of the attorney general.

SPORTOGRAPHY

While Chicago fans are honoring
 their former peerless leader, New
 York American League bugs are all ready grayely discussing the probabiI- for the Yankees. No city in the main circuit takes the cellar title more ser iously than the metropolis, probably because Gotham teams have been 50 fortunate in avoiding the lowest berth From the beginning of the game until 1900, New York, escaped the booby prize of baseball. The Giants finish ed in the cellar in 1900, and again in 1902. The Yankees had their first sub-ceIlar experience in 1908, and re- peated last year. Chicago has an even more remarkable record, never having had a real tail-end. outfit. In 1877 the Chicago club was officially the cellar champ of the National League, but that was because Cincin- natl, the real tail-ender, dropped out before the close of the season
 Washington has harbored more eel lar champions than any other city in big league history. Four times Wash ington finished last in the National League, two times in the old Ameri- can Association, and four years in the Am merican League. St. Louis crowds Washington for the doubtful honor with a record of nine tai1-e -enders- six in the National and three in the
 
 end teams. five in the National and one in the American. Cincinnati has finished last in the National three years. Brooklyn occupied the lowest rung in the National one year, and once in the old American Association. record is the same as that of Brooklyn. Philadelphia brought up the rear in the National two years. and Pittsburgh ditto. De- troit finished last one year in the Ma tionaI.
 Of the former big league cities not now represented in the major circuit, | Baltimore holds the cellar record. The Bird City finished last four times in the Old American Association, once In the American League and once in the | National. Louisville was represented l by tailenders in the National three years, and once in the American As sociation. Milwaukee had one tail end aggregation in the National and one in the. American. Minneapolis l last once in the American, Worcester was last twice in the Ma tional, Kansas City once in the Amer1- can Association, and Troy and In each had a. tail-end team in the National.

 At a recent meeting of a number of the New England Democratic mem bers in the office of Congressman Pe- ters of Massachusetts. to talk over
 matters of interest in that section a statement to the cigar makers and tobacco growers was prepared as fol- lows:
 There has been free trade with the Philippines since the passage of the Payne Tariff law in-August. 1909, ex- cept for the limitations placed on rice, sugar and tobacco, which limitations have been nominal in their operations. All of these restrictions have been re- moved by the tariff bill just passed.
 Under the Payne law all Philippine cigars, except those in excess of 150 million flor anyl fiscal year, may come in duty free. The imports for 191O 1911 and 1912 were, respectively, 73, S5 and 5S million cigars or an aver age Of about 1-3i the total number that could, under theilaNv, come in free dur ing that period.
 cigars produced in these Islands for 1911 were but 22s million of which the total exEtortatione to all countries were 132 million. And although inn ports to the UnFted States for the pres ent fiscal year promise to exceed those 1t of 15o million will not be reached. Tn fact the totRD number of cigars ex- ported from the Philippines to all countries for 19aI was about 20 million less than the number that were ad- mita.bIe free of duty into this coun- try If all the cigars produced in these | Islands were sent to our markets, it | would form less than four percent of our total production. might also add l that whereas 1t is provided in the pending bill that not more than fifty | per cent of the materials entering in l to articles manufactured in the Phil | ippinee can be of foreign production if | they are duty free, a single exception | is made in :the case of tobacco where the limit is placed at 20 per cent"
 When this item was before the com ulittee cG the whole for consideration | Representatives Izonergan and rDono- van voted to retain the limitation as 1t now exists under the Payne bill.
