committee marked the opening to-day

tax and other tax measures proposed
by the committee. frequently Chair

tically 1t will not do 30. the comptroller
told the committee.
When the comptroller said that his
offioe has made estimate Of the revenue
that will be received under the terms
of the bill. he was asked by Lawrence
A. Tanner of New York one of the ex-
perts. whether tangible or intangible
property had been used as the base.
II won't be sneered at by any paid
employee Of the tax committee" said
Comptroller Travis retorted.
Comptroller Travis also had some
words with Prof Charles J. Bullock of
Harvard and Prof f. r. A. Seligman
OF Columbia, telllnR tnem ne ana MS
department arc dealing In practical
propositions and not In theories. Mr..
Travis said that in Massachusetts II
required a 50-page book written by
Professor Bullock to explain tho income
tax provisions. and that he had heard
no demand for It In this State from any
source.
Mr.. Travis quoted Professor Seligman
as having said in 1915 that the Federal
income tax was the only income ia I
OF the future. Professor Seligman as
serted that the statement was made be-
fore the Federal income tax was
adopted.
Lawrence Mcclure OF the New York
Real Estate Board opposed tho income
tax bill and said he preferred the list
ing OF personal property. He said that
Comptroller Craig OF New York also was
opposed. Representatives Of the Great
er New York Taxpayers Association
favored the bill. Upstate city officials
asked that the provision to turn the
locality's share Of the money over to
the counties he changed so the cities
would receive It
The committee did not take up any
OF the bills submitted except tho income
proposition. There will be another hear
ing tomorrow.

than ever" .
Senator Hitchcock said that not one
Of the objections which had been raised
70 the league was real. and that they
IN should be brushed aside.
A''rhe absurdity OF the objection that
Japan might insist on having the league
settle the immigration question is all
the more apparent when we reflect thar

ALsANr, April s.--Anticipating action
by the Senate to-day on the minimum
wage legislation that has been proposed
Gov. Smith sent n special message to the
Legislature urging favorable action on
the measure he wants which would make
II compulsory for employers to put into
operation the minimum wage awards.
Just as the debate was being taken up
In the Senate. however, Republican
Leader j. Henry Walters was called
away from the Capitol for q few hours
and because of this and the fact that
many Senators wished to attend the in
come tax hearings the minimum wage
problem was put over until tomorrow.
Before the session adjourned tonight
n proposed constitutional amendment ex-
pressly permitting the passage Of this
legislation and the proposed compulsory
health insurance bills was introduced by
Senator Walters. Democratic Leader
James A. Foley refused to permit I'D
vancement Of this measure. declaring II
camoufage for real opposition to mini
mum wage and health insurance meas
urea Senator Walters insisted that he
really believes the courts will declare
health insurance legislation unconstitu-
tional, just az they did the original
Workmen's Compensation act.
Accordingly when the Senate meets to-
morrow It will take up this proposed
amendment. the compulsory minimum
wage proposals and the new bill that the
Republicans are inclined to pass, proyid-
ing for a minimum wage commission to
determine what the minimum wages
should be in the various localities but
not requiring employers to pay these
wages.
