TRAVIS WINS FIGHT
AGAINST TAX BILL
Governor Yields and Controller
Keeps Corporation Work and
His Patronage.

Albany, Feb. 5.-Controller Travis
has won his fight TO have the assessing
of corporation taxes left with his de-
partment. When Governor Whitman
first prepared his tar commission re-
organization sill several weeks ago a
clause which would have taken the cor
poration tax work out OF the Control
ler's hands was inserted. Immediately
Travis in an open letter TO members
OF the Legislature averred that this
transfer would increase the cost OF
handling the taxes five or six times.
Conferences between him and tho
Governor followed. and the Executive
finally came 20 the Controllers view OF
the situation. The bill will be amended
when il comes up in the Assembly next
week TO strike out the features obJec-
tionable to Travis and then passed.
While Travis has insisted that pat
ronage has had nothing TO do with his
fight on the measure. his Office would
be deprived of much of its patronage
were the bill 20 pass in It's original
form. The corporation tax business
reaches into every county OF the state.
