FAILED TO STAND TEST
Pennsylvania Law, Similar 10 Mich
igan Act. Invalid

or especial interest 10 Michigan
Changers who have been furtherlng
the tonnage tax idea. is a decision OF
the Pennsylvania supreme court In a
case exactly parallel TO the proposed
tonnage tax bill I'm Michigan. The
supreme court OF Pennsylvania de-
clared unconstitutional an act OF the
legislature OF that state which i'm
posed a specific tax on the output OF
anthracite coal mines. The court
held that the law was class legislation
and therefore in violation of the uni
formity clause OF the state constitu-
ton.
The uniformity clause In the con-
stitution OF Pennsylvania is almost
identical with that in the constitution
OF Michigan, and provides In sub
stance that tax must be uniform up
on the classes upon which II operates.
The Pennsylvania decision Is weep
ing in that IL not only declares the
provisions OF the law relating TO the
tax levy unconstitutional, but also the
method OF distribution OF the tax after
II has been collected.
Under the Pennsylvania law, IL was
proposed that so per cent OF the tax
should be returned TO the counties
from whence IL came. In Pennsylva-
MIA the tax came from nine counties
so that fifty per cent OF the amount
levied went back TO these nine coun-
ties. while the balance got nothing.
The treasurer of each of the bene-
ficiary counties was required to APP
portion this refund among the various
cities, villages and towns in many OF
which no coal whatever is mined.
Under the proposed Michigan ton
mage tax, 1t is provided that 20 per
cent of the tax levied must be returned
TO the counties from whence il comes.
This would mean that seven counties
i'm the upper peninsula and two or
three in the lower peninsula would
share In the redistribution. The bal
ance of the SO counties would get
nothing. The county treasurers are
required to apportion this returned
tax to the cities, villages and towns,
| just as provided in the Pennsylvania
law. The only difference between the
| two acts is the amount to be returned.
Pennsylvania provided for "A return
OF so per cent and Michigan for but
25.
In Pennsylvania this specific tax
was the only one levied, but in Michi-
gan under the proposed law, IL was
expected to levy both an ad yalorem
and specific tax against the mines.
From the result OF the battle in
Pennsylvania, and the remarkable
similarity of conditions there and in
Michigan, IL seems altogether likely
the proposed tonnage tax bill for
Michigan might not stand test OF the
courts.

Steamer PoIlentis Goes to Bottom
After Battle With Gale.
Halifax, N. S., Jan. 25.-After bat
tie with the elements lasting more
than a week the British steamer Pol
lentis sank in mid-Atlantic on Sunday.
All on board were saved. News of her
loss was flashed here by wireless from
that Italian liner Giuseppe Verdi. which
rescued the crew.
Calls for help were first sent out
from the Pollentis last Wednesday.
They reported she was leaking badly.
Her pumps were unable to keep in
check the inrushing water. She had
been leaking for three days. Shortly
after dark the men aboard, alarmed at
the rapid filling of the disabled ship,
flashed signals to the Verdi, whose
boats Immediately responded. A high
sea was running and the men man
ming the Verdi's boats were able to
reach the Britisher only after hard
struggle. When all were at last safely
aboard the Verdi the Pollentis, which
had been left wallowing in the trough
of the sea, was seen to give violent
lurch and then disappeared beneath
the waves.

GENERAL WOOD WARNS
COUNTRY OF WAR PERIL.
Says Foe With 10000 Trained Troops
Could Inflct IncaIculable
Damage.

Washington, Jan. 21.-Maj. Gen. Leon
ard Wood told the senate military COM
mittee on Wednesday the coast line
of the United States was open to at.
tack by any well-organized foreign
army, despite its equipment of forts,
mines and submarines, and that the
oceans formed no serious barrier to
invasion. He declared that in the
country's present state of utter UMPIRE
paredness for war a trained force OF
10000 men could infiict incalculable
damage before an army could be as
sembled to meet it.
Emphasizing his conviction that
troops cannot be improvised to meet
regulars, General Wood declared the
fundamental basis of any policy OF
adequate national defense must be
the principle that with suffrage goes
an obligation for military service.
AS to the immediate needs Of the
regular army, General Wood ex-
pressed the opinion that the force OF
regulars with the colors should be
maintained at 100000.
Reverting to the condition Of the
country to face war with a first-class
power, the general said the United
States was utterly unprepared and
knew nothing of the problems 1t
would have to meet. At least 2,0OO,O0O
men would be needed, he declared,
and they could be obtained, he be-
lieved, only by compulsory service.
