plished, quite as much right to feel
that in his span of years he has done

franchises. As with every other poll
tical leader of his type where the boss
system obtains. his power rests in
great part upon the money con-
tributed by the corporations. He was
influenced TO defend them partly by
this consideration and partly by his
honora BILE desire to acknowledge the
benefits he had received from them;
and partly because, like most old
men. he is very conservative in such
matters, and fails 10 see that to meet

perfectly unjust popular demand, and
that 10 do justice in the one case

rest We're crazy to have me veto the
bill. To this l would not consent.
But the bill was crude In form and
there were two or three extremely
desirable amendments, notably one
which would give the state the
power of making the assessment. and
| offered to call the legislature to-
gether for the purpose of making
these amendments. At first they could
not decide whether the corporations
would be willing to have the amend
ments made; for not few Of them
preferred to be blackmailed by Tam
many rather than pay their just dues
To an honest board of state assessors.
Finally, however, the best made up
their minds to try for honesty. and

They then all went In in good faith
to pass my amendments.
The demagogues and Tammany

held every republican vote in the sen

and the net result is that we have on
the statute books the most important
law passed in recent times by any
American state legislature; and we
have to our credit a perfectly clean
