and removal from office in such cases
il generally considered as one OF the
fortunes Of war The situation here
is radically different
The chairma.. went on 70 say that
under the public service law removal
bv the Governor necessarily involved
finding of misfeasance or malfeasance
in office, and added:
"A removal of Public Service Com
missioner for other than good cause
will establish a precedent which may

for any man worthy of the name TO go

The charge referred to was that the
chairman had been inefficient and neg

the Bradley Construction Company to
stop work on the section of the Lexing-
ton Avenue subway below Forty-second
Street after having been advised by the
chief engineer that the work would be
useless in case the dual system was

he was taxed with a matter that was

Tracing the history and struggles
and victories of the Republican party
from the time of Lincoln, Mr.. Root
sounded warning to the Union League
and the country at large that again
they must face the stress and storm of
battle if they would see the Union
preserved from the designs of a party
bent on the regulation of all business
a party which subjects men to sus-
picion and policy which is responsible
for the present hesitancy and unrest.
THE distinctive Characteristic of re-

GOVERNOR YIELDS;
TAX BILL PRUNED
Assembly to Pass Measure as
Demanded by Upstate Boards
of Assessors.
From stan Correspondent, Of Tn. Tribune.


Albany, March Ex-Governor Whit
mans tax i'll, it is expected, will be
passed tomorrow by the Assembly
under an emergency message. At the
end of day in which the influences
for and against the bill were hard at
work the Republican leaders announced
they had secured eighty votes by agree
ing, with the consent o. Governor
Whitman, TO cut out the provision that
was considered the most important
from a scientific point of view. This
concession was made to appesse Sc the up
state Republicans.
This provision would have given to
the Tax Department jurisdiction over
all local assessm, It's. Ii was argued
by the tax experts who drew the bill
that centralized control by men of ex-
perience in the equalization of taxes
would brinl about more equitable re-
suits for all parts of the state. Under
the present system, it is declared, come
parts of the tate, particularly New
York City, pay larger proportion of
the state taxes than is fair. At pres
,nt New York City pays nearly SO per
cent of the state tax.
The centralized control provision
raised a howl from county supervisors
and town boards of ass. ssors all over
the state. because it deprived them of
functions they now have. Their repre-
sentatives in the Assembly refused to
vote for the measure with that pro-
vision IN II, and Governor Whitman.
rather than lose the bill. which, along
with other things. will legislate out of
office the present Tax Commission.

Eternal reward. Her death is
