Uluay tmtW Speaker Connor Introduced as a Substitute a Resolution Di recting the Railroad Com mission to Assess All Rail road Property 6 per Cent on Net In come. '.The Huse met at 10 o'doak. Bill's were introduced: By Wlllard, to in corporate Grand Commandery Knights Templars of North Carolina. By Cur rie, f Bladen, Ut provide for naval srtore inspectors at Wilmington. to be appointed by the mayor ami alder men. 'By Alien, of Wayne, to Incor porate ithe North Carolina Association. By Bouehall. to iimtnil the charter of Wilson. By Hoffman. M allow the vo ters of Morganum t. vote on the iiics tion or a dispensary. By McLean of Harnett, to amend ihe charter of Dunn. Bills passed to make NVuso river in Johnston county a lawful fence. To esuabl.sh a dispensary at Seaboard. To allow the building of a dam across the Yadkin river, to furnish electric pow er to Charlotte, Salisbury and other daces. To incorpoiuie the North Car olina .Mutual Provident Association (colored). At 11 o'clock tile Hoii.-kj resolved it Self into committee of the whole on the revenue bill, and t.k up again the amendment of Julian to strike out sec tions frit to 62. which impose an income tax on railways. Winston said he regretted to differ with the committee but t'he popositioa was 'to mx again property which had been taxed once 'the income derived from taxed properly. He declared that not a vote should be ai for su. -h a tax. U was alleged this vvias in line with' the tax on -merchants. The only Justification f ir the morcthaiils' tax is that a large part of the property is not on hand June 1. No one save the rail ways gives in for taxation the full value of lis property. T'he property of railways 1s not consumed: it remains all the while. There is no similarity between railways and insurance com panies. The railway property is tan gible; t'he assets of .nsurauoc compa nies is largely tile confidence of the people of the Suite. If the railways are not assessed ai '.'heir full value, put thim at t'heir full value lirst. as the condition demands. The i.iiiway com mission is given guardianship "i ra.l- tvays and has ia;.-cd us assessed value niillivn of doll.us. He declared that no one here knew 'how much this new tax would1 put upon railways and he added, "Why single out the railways for this new departure 'in taxation?" He spoke in eloquent words of the great work the railways had done last year in the hour of the State's trial. Last June, July and August there was fear on the pari of IVmorratic leaders whether the great organizations of cap ital would aid them. These railways answered ithe appeal to them for aid in the noblest manner, and prank to the aid of whin- suprenia.-y. He read fiorn the Democratic hand book of 18S. In this it is plainly taidi uhait Uhe lights of oa.pl tal -and of ( -orpora.ti.ins shall be given just protection. He declared that the landmark was the ark of safety and Uhe covenant which guided file white people in The grand campaign of 1S9S. 'No man when fdead..ng for .the i nteiests of the people in the campaign dared say he would not stand by this soleinin league ami covenant made with the good people of North Carolina. Wil'lard, in oippin t or t'he bill said it was rtgiut -and. just to levy a special privilege tax on property which en oya special and nvwiopoliKtic; privi leges. He saLd C'oainor and Winston were an ennor in sayimg Uhat railways were sUmKled out thait telegraph com parules pa'd tiix on their property and also an incoimie or privilege tax. He said It was undetmocraitkto tax rail ways, and wanted 'to know why .they cHd not use that argument aa to Uhe tax on 'tele-graph and telephone com panies. He expressed surprise at Con nor's argument that ttie tax might in the futttre be extended to cotton milh, and otf Oraige'a aatrum?nt that It might even be extended to farmers. Rountree afked Wm whether he thought tlhis tax ought 'to be placed on suoh corporations as electric light and gas companies. WtHardi said yes, in a lesser degree. - In, conclusion Wiillard (who is the au thor of this Ttew' tax scheme) said it miglTt foe -defeated now. but It would not down. He (teelartd 'that he lowest argtiiment was Che-one hiat tihe Demo eratlt: pwty 'hadi nAde Vld?es to 'the : conxurations. ... Robunaon laid Winston had laid down two astounding propositions one that it. watt ttndemocrACie to tax railways, he tdtlher that the'pafty was pledged I not to tax them. He defended the committee. Botiahall said he did not think it fair in Winston to argue that there was a pledge by the Democrat!.-! State chair man to the railways which was bind ing. Allen, of Wayne, said that the State chairman said he had made no pledge save thai in the platform and the hand hook which is that railways and all other ooi-porations shall receive equal justice and equal treatment and favored the i-nmiiK'ttif's bill. Ci at ties asked Bous'liall if the same rate of taxia'tion a much tax now. He would yield as much .tax now. He wanted to know if there was not $100. 000 in the State .reasuiy. Boushall said it was only apparently 'there. Willard said it would take $7.'.,00ii of the JUKI. 000 to pay t'he expenses of this le.nislat u re. Justice said that to get the matter of th s tax properly it was necessary to say that this House was under no ob ligation and no pled (re. He said that Robinson's statement that it was a light between corporations and t'he peo ple se"nned too much like Gov. Rus sell's argument as regarded the rail way commission. He asked where would lie the justice of taxing the gross earnings of a road like ithe Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley Railway, which has made no money. He said the proper prl-.-iple is to tax the 'tangible property ami take its earning capacity into ac count. He was willing to vote for a bill to have the railway commission do this. He bltteiiv opposied the inaugura tion of this new system. Kobinson asked what would be Jus lice's opinion when it was shown Uhat the Southern Railway's net earnings .lore 33 1-3 per cent. Justice replied that Rohlnson appear ed to be addressing himself to an at tack un the Southern Railway and leaving the other roads out of the question. Hansell spoke in favor of the tax ami said it was no new departure for the 1 icinociatlc party, either in the nation or the State. Curtis opposed any tax save on prop erty. Alexander asked if railways did not have Sll.VOOO.OOO invested in North Car olina. Th'impstin. vif Onslow, said the cor'C of the railways was $SS,000.000. Will-laid said that the railways paid 4 per cent on $911,000,000, and 12 per cent on .'!:'.000.000. Che 'assessed value. At 12:15 the committee rose and the House took up the special order, the election of trustees of the state Uni vei-slty. At this moment an act was brought in and rati fled, pivvi'ding for the election of a State Librarian. This was deferred until the trustees were elected. The Speaker nametl Mcintosh and Williams, of Yadkin as tellers: Kemp P. Rattle. C. M. Stedman, F. H. Bus- bee. H. C. Wall, 'Benehan Cameron, James S. Manning, John W. Fries, R. M. Furman, W. A.

Boggs. of Catawba, nominated M. O. Siherrell for State Librarian. Hampton nominated U. A. Cobb, anid Williams, of Yadkin nom'traited' Miss Saiiie Stock Shemil was elected receiving; the solid Democratic vote. At 1 o'clock the House again went. into committee of the whole on the revenue bill. Speaker Connor said that the high est moral principles should govern t'he imposition of a -tax ;that 'the simple fact of neednjf money could not Justi fy the levying- of any kind of tu tax. ' State mu4 et the model, the ideal for uhe citizen.,1 The 'law is' but 'the -on-solldatcd :sl- of -ihe people. lrnjusit taxation has dime more tliarv any thing else to! deprave public morals.

The report shows it is tax valued at :i.000,00(t. and that t'he value is put jnw at $39,000,000. The net earning'.-' aqe 6 per cent on $66,000,000. He ar gued that it wou'.d be fair Ut assess ttoe value of the railways at thel aitter fig ure for the niext tiwo years. Meanwhile the public could' discuss the mat'tter of the tax on gross eairningst Connor then offered tlhe followin?: resolution ; "Thait tlhe railwoy commis sion be and are hemeby directed to aa dess the vaiue of all railway property in this State for taxaitiotn on the basis of 6 per cent upon their met income." Stevens asked if it would not be well to have this put in the railway com mission, art. . Connor tid yes. but that i!he cim nii'ltee shiuld adopt h.is -ixMoiu;tion.

R'ouutree said he belived the new railway commission eouldl hamlie all this matter properly. He said he un derstood there was to be an almost entirely new commission. At 2:30 o'clock the xmmittee rase and the House luljoiurned. LAID TO REST Fuueral of Rev. Dr. nett Smedes Ben- DEEPEST SORROW Service Held From Christ Churcb This Morning at Eleven O'clock.

His rep.irt tvas published in the Washington City papers two or three years ago. This professor, in order to ingratiate him self witn tlie natives of th" country hi- v isited and secure tfnir protection, took with him many little trinkets and small useful articles to give as pres ents lo iheai. Among these aiiicles wet" a numl,-r of cheap striped caps, similar to ihosv worn by jockeys on i. in Ami ri- an race courses. One day the professor was in the I'.ir-e.-t. carrying a basket Allied with these small articles whic he intended lo dis tribute among tiie natives, and among tile articles were seviral of rhese stri ped can. In order to .u.nv the n-tivt- their dpo, he wore .me liimseli'. The day b iivj w arm, the i ofessor lay down in the shade of a large ,-oi-oa-nut tree, listening to the e!i,,ter of tic- inoiiKeyp -a novo mm. Mi- took from his head the cap he had been wearing, putting it under his head on the rot of tile tree that gave him shade, ami sum f- 1 to sleep. The '!y monkeys seeing that the professor slept, sliped down and slide every cap in the basket of the professor, ami then ,-k ampered away and cot up a terrible ('hati-ring. This awoke the professor, who. limk mg into the tree above him. saw that every monkey in sight had m one of his striped caps. The only one left was the one he had undt r ti s head, Taking it in his hand, with a pious exclama tion, threw it at the amusing little animals, with the exclamation. "Hie your litle souls . take this one too." The monkeys, follow ing the example of the professor, and -mutating him in artiiun. threw every one of his caps back at the professor. It isi a well known fact that the way cocoa-nuts are gathered is. when a monkey is found un a rocoatuir. tr to throw some thing towards him. and he will throw back a cocoa-nut.
