THE MORNING OEEGONIAN, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1903. SENATE SETS A DAY Will Take Up McBride Bill Wednesday. EARLY DEATH IS CERTAIN ... I- IS. Ckunces of Mennre' sncce " e House Are so sum nn .--Politician Dare Xot Prophesy. OLYMPIA. Wash.. Feb. 5. (Staff corre spondence,) Both houses of the Washing ton LeKislature tackled the railroad com- - mitlnf hill today, and wnlle the lower house sot no further with It than a com mittee report, a day of reckoning was set for It in the Senate, and It will come up In the resular order of business in the Houre when it is reached on the calendar. The Senate committee met at 9:30 this mornlnc ar.J devoted an hour to the read ing of the till. No one seemed to recog nize the humor of the situation, and that the bill world pass Just as easily, or rather be killed Just as quickly. If it were read by the title or number only, so the mem bers of the committee sat It out and then made majority and minority reports. The latter, recommending the passage of the bill, was signed By Tolman of Spo kane, Hailey of Whitman. Sharp of Kitti tas and Iteser of Walla Walla. The majority report, recomemndlnjr in definite postponement, was signed by Chairman Baker, of Klickitat; Hamilton of Pierce, Rands of Clark. Hemrlch and TotU of King. Clapp of Jeffcryon and Sumner of Snonomlsh. When the report of the committee was brought up in the Senate Tolman moved that the bill be made a special order for next Wednesday morning. Tc matter of carrying it over until next week" had previously been agreed 'on. so there was no objection. This course was permitted by the antl-commlsslon men out of courtesy to the minority members, and the bill will receive the death thrust In the Senate next Wednesday with becom ing oratorical accompaniments. The action of the Senate hastened mat ters a little in the House, and Immediately- after the close of the afternoon ses sion Chairman Wilson. of the House rall roads. committee, called his men together and took up the bllL -In order to facili tate matters, McNIcol of Pierce moved that the bill be indefinitely postponed. McNIcol had sir supporters with him on bis motion, whllo there were eight oppos ing It, the line-up being exactly as "pre dicted In The Oregonlan when the commit tee was appointed, utterly disproving the charge that was made thct -the committee had been "stacked" against the bill. The majority reports recommending' that the bill do pass, was signed by Chairman Wil son, of Kittitas, Baasett of Adams. Butler of Skagit, Haynes of Douglas, Howard of Lincoln. Whitney of Spokane, Witter of Whitman and Zenkner of Lewis . "The minority report,' recommending In definite postponement, was signed by dark of King, Coate of Klickitat, Fergu oon of Snonomlsh, Hastings of Jefferson, McCoy of Skagit, McNIcol of Pierce and Thompson of Kitsap 7. The bill was not read by the House com mittee, and the only suggestion of an amendment came from Bassett of Adams, who desired an amendment making the appointees of the Governor subject to con firmation by the Senate and House. Noth ing was done In the matter, and the bill will now 'take the same course as other bills. Sentiment has changed somewhat regarding the chances of the bill In the House, now that it has been Jarred loose from the Senatorial question, and while the vote will be very close. It Is not lnv probable that the antl-commlsslon men will. win. The majority either way will not be more than three or four, andj.at this time tho McBride men seem to bave the worst end of the flghc In the House. Two week! ago it was considered practically Impossible to beat the bill In the House, but It Is now so near an even fight that ewn expert "politicians hesitate to ven ture a prediction as to the outcome.. The House railroad committee, after dis posing of tho commission bill for the pres ent, unanimously recommended the pass age of tho Maloney rale bill reducing fares on railroads and steamboats to S cents per mile. This bill was aimed at the Spokane Falls & Northern, which has been exact ing 5 and 6 cents -per mile. Since the bill was Introduced the road has voluntarily reduced the rate to Zi cents, but It Is almost a certainty that the bill will pans and force them to cut off the extra half cent; The. House calendar Is pretty well filled at present, and It Is hardly possible for the commission bill to be reached before It comes up for slaughter In the Senate next Wednesdaoy. E. W. W. IX. THE SEXATE. tVhltmnn County Division Bill Ap pear Railroad Committee Report. OLYMPIA. Wash.. Feb. 5. (Special.)

Rands. Hemrlch, Potts, Sumner- and Clapp, rec ommended that it be indefinitely post1 poned, while Senators Tolman, Hailey, Sharp and Reser recomjnended that the bill be passed. The majority or the com mittee, out of courtesy to Senator Tol. man and his colleagues of the minority, agreed not to press the adoption of their report for inaenmie -postponement today. but to make this bill a special order for next Wednesday at 10 o'clock, when It will be thoroughly discussed. The defeat of the bill In the Senate Is assured. The Senate was discussing the House memorial protesting against the arbltra tlon of the Alaskan boundary when the announcement of the death of" Colonel O wings was made, and an immediate adjournment was' taken until tomorrow. Senators Tucker , and Moore were favor able to the memorial, while Senators Sharp and Warburton opposed it on the ground that President Roosevelt ana sec retary Hay were more familiar with the matter than the Legislature could possibly be.

Memorial Introduced In Home by Lerrl of King. OLYMPIA, Feb. 5. (SpecIaU-Soon after the opening of the morning session of the House, Lewis of King offered a Jcint resolution protesting against arbi tration of the Alaska boundary dispute. The rules vrero "suspended and the resolu tion passed and Immediately sent to the Senate, where it was discussed until ad journment. The resolution was .as fol lows, i Resolved br the House of Representatives of the 8Ute of Washington, the Senate concur ring, (That It Is the sense of the Legislature of the Stale of Washington that the title of the alted States Is dear to all of the territory of Alaska, including the nnns and Inlets of the sea. and the seaports and harbors now In she possession of the United States, ana wltnin the boundaries clearly defined In the treaty by which our Government acquired that country from Russia, In which treaty the boundary line between said territory and the British posses sions is defined In language Identical with the words of the treaty respectnjr the same bound ary between Great Britain and Russia whereby tr e governments settled that boundarywlth such precision and clearness as to preclude the possibility of any bona, fide dispute or conten tion respecting the same; and this" Legislature earnestly protests against the proposed treaty which has been submitted by the President of the United states to the senate lor rauncation by which our Government apparently concedes that a tribunal la necessary to determine a supposed controversy as to the location of the initial point of said boundary, although the lnl- tlaLJs described In the treaty In unmistakable terms, and as to which channel Is the Portland Channel, although there Is but one channel In the region of Southeastern Alaska which has ever been named or known as the Portland Channel, end other similar questions, which cannot be the subject of a bona fide dispute. The grounds of this protest are: That by the proposed treaty Great Britain or Canada places nothing of value In Jeopardy, whereas our Government grants to the proposed tribunal power to cede without consideration valuable territory and commercial ports, built up and Inhabited by American citizens, which "are known to Re coveted by our Canadian neigh bors for their commercial advantage. Such a tribunal cannot possibly adjudicate the questions defined In the proposed treaty unless one or more of the representatives of the contracting governments shall make con' cessions adversely to the Interests of the gov ernment which he or they will represent, and If the proposed Joint commission should fall to render a decision by reason of the unwilling ness of members on either side to make conci sions, our Government will then have upon Its hands an unsettled controversy, conceded to be proper subject for submission to arbitration. and may be forced to Invite some foreign potentate or tribunal to settle the terms of a compromise by which American territory and the rights of American citizens must.be sacrl- nceo. Resolved further. That the Governor of 'the state be and he Is hereby requested to transmit xonnwun a copy of these resolutions to the President of the Senate of the United States. THE PIANOS ARE FINE, AND THEY GO SHALL EAIIX THEIR KEEP. Senntor Hnllett Proposes to SInkc Penitentiary Self-Snpportlwr. OLYMPIA. Wash,, Feb. 3. (Special.) senator Ilailett. of Spokane, this morn ing introduced in the Senate a bill which is Intended to mike the State Peniten tiary self-supporting. The estimate sub mitted by the. Board of Control for the care of prisoners for the next two rears calls for $160,000 for feeding, them during that period. Senator Hallett contends that as the proposition now stands. Instead of criminals being punished and forced to help sustain the state, the citizens are punished, being forced to sustain the criminals. Senator Hallett's bill amends the pres ent law governing the penitentiary so that In estimating the cost 'of the Jute, fabrics, brick or other products manufac tured' there, the Board of Control shall include in addition to the cost of the ma terial and for the skilled labor employed irom tne outside, the cost of convict labor. to be reckoned at 1 cents an hour, and Interest on the plants and machinery, to gether with allowance for depreciation of said plants and machinery; end none of the product of the penitentiary shall be told for less than the "cost of their manu ficture. with these Items Included, with out special authority from the Governor. Senator Hallett estimates that if his bill is passed it may raise the price of Jute sacks 4 cent apiece, and then they will tc cheaper than the Calcutta, bags. For Better Xorrual Schools.

The Whitman County delegation to the Leclslature have certainly needed broad shoulders at this session to enable them to suggest along under the load which their constituents bave piled on them. When they were tangled, up In jtha Senatorial fight they' were continually bombarded with petitions, remonstrances, abuea and praise, and as soon aa that Issue1 was disposed of they are confronted with a still more vexatious one. "Shall Whitman, the largest county In the state, be divided?" is the question that haa brouxht more Whitman County men over the. mountains than have ever congregated here before. - The plan proposed Is to remove 21 townshlos from the north end of the county, and form the new county of Steptoe. From the east about 17 townshlDs. Including fractions, are to form the county of Palouse. According to the opponents of division, this division will leave Whitman with 2900 voters, and a valuation of (5.000.000; will give Steptoe County 2200 voters, and a valuation of 34,063.000, , and Paiouae County 1800 voters, and property valued at S3.S00.000. Both sides of the controversy are musing extravagant claims as to their relative' strenxth. For Instance, the opponents of division claim to have signature of 1311 votea from the proposed Steptoe County, while those favoring division say they have over 1100 signatures of voters favtrlng division. The men favoring division do not claim so many voters for Steptoe as are claimed by the anti-dlrlslonlsts, the latter placing the number at 1700. If this is correct and there has been no mistake In crusting the signatures. It Is apparent that several hundred men have signed both setltlons. The fight grows warmer as the session sroceeds, and In "tha minds of the residents of the banner wheat county of Washington It Is a much more important matter than the election of a United States Senator or the passage of a Railway Commission bill.

Eddy's bill prcscrib- lnir tho fees and annual license taxes to be paid by. foreign and 'domestic corpora tions, passed tno senate mis morning with a rush and without a dissenting vote. The measure Is expected to produce an annual revenue" to tho state of J10O.00O from sources which have hitherto con tributed little to the support of state gov ernment. "This bill does not provide a tax on the Intangible propertr of corporations. but prescribes certain fees to De paia when articles of Incorporation are filed and an annual license tax for tho privi lege of doing business In the state. The fees nrc graduated, so that th tax will not fall heavily upon small corporations engaged In development enterprises, such as local Irrigation companies, creameries, etc As this bill has passed both Houses by unanimous vote, it Is certain of receiv ing the approval of the Governorand will be in force SO days after the Legislature adjourns. The bill provides the follow ing fees for filing articles of Incorpora tion: Where the capital stock shall not ex ceed turn, a fee of $10: where the" capital stock shall exceed J5O0O and shall not ex ceed $10,000. a fee of J13: where the capital stock shall exceed $10,000 and shall not exceed $5,000, a fee of $20: where the cap ital stock shall exceed $3,000 and shall not exceed $30,000. a fee of $23; where the capital stock shall exceed $30,000 and shall not exceed $100,000. a fee of $33; where the capital stock shall exceed $100,000 nnd shall not exceed $250,000. a fee of $13:. where the capital stock shall exceed $230,000 and shall not exceed $300,000, a fee of $00: where the capital stock shall exceed $300,000 and shall not exceed $1,000,000. a fee of $75; where the capital stock shall exceed $1. 000.000 and shall not exceed $2,000,000, a fee of $00; when the capital stock shall exceed $2,000,000. a fee of $100. Corporations formed for any educa tional, literary, scientific, religious or charitable purpose pay a fee of only $5. Before the 15th day of August each year corporations must pay annual license fees as follows: If such capital stock shall not exceed $3000. an annual license fee of $10; if such capital stock shall exceed $3000 and shall not exceed $10,000, an annual license fee of $15; it such capital shall exceed $10,000 and shall not exceed $25,000, an annual license fee of $20; If such capital stock shall ex ceed $25,000 and not exceed $30,000. an .an nual license fee of $30; If such capital stock shall exceed $30,000 and shall not exceed $100,000, an annual fee of $30: If such capi tal stock sjiall exceed Jiuiuw ana snail not exceed $250,000. an annual fee of $70: if such capital stock shall exceed $250,000 and shall not exceed $300,000. an annual license fee of $100: if such capital stock shall exceed $300,000 and shall not exceed $1,000,000. an annual license fee of $125: If such capital stock shall exceed $1,000,000 and shall not. exceed $2,000,000, an annual license fee of $175: if such capital stock shall exceed $2,000,000, an annual license fee of $200. Corporations already organized under the laws of this state are not required to pay the organization tax. but are subject to the annual license tax, f oreign cor porations, whether already doing business in the' state or not, must file copies of their nrtlcles of incorporation and pay a filing fee of $30 and the annual license fee. as stated above Corporations delinquent in their pay ments cannot bring suit nor- file an an swer In a suit, and are subject to a fine of $100 for the delinquency. This bill was prepared by Representa tive Eddy, with the aid of Secretary of State Dunbar. Some amendments as to the rates were made by the committee on assessment and taxation, leaving them as given herein. The bill met no oppo sition in either House, and is apparently satisfactory to the corporations most Interested. Crook Count)- Cattlemen Meet. PRIXEVILLE. Or.. Feb. 5. (Special.)
