TANING OCCUPATIONS. Senator Adams’ bill, which taxes almost every oceupatlon in Chlfllgo, was taken wp on taird reading, Senator Adams stated the purposes of the bill, and wanted any objee- tors to spenk now, or forever hold their peace. Tho Senntor's offer was accepted at once, Senator Clark pitehed into tho meas- ure, After he had spoken against its passage, Senator Edwards sald he wus opposed on priuciple to the bill, Mechanles should not be taxed. It would givo citles and towns too much suthority, It virtuslly gave muniel- palities, at their pleasuro or dlsvleasure, tho power to drive peopleout of towns and cit- fes, 1le knew of no reason why corn-doc- tors shiould be taxed tohelp support the great Clty of Chicago, Senator Shaw sald It appeared to i as I£ the city nuthorities were so extravagant thoy wera competled to tax all avocatlons to get money to carry ou the Government. Ho was opposed to tho LIIL The citizens of Chicago were taxed enough atready, Let the city nuthorities cconomize and retrench—not tax their people. In 1873 thonssessmentshowed the taxable property In Chieago to ba pver $300,~ 000,000, 'T'he Inst nssessment showed n valu- atlon of n Ittle aver $100,000,000, Tho gen- teman proceceded st lenglh to argue tax mutters, The authorities” should it out the vast dlscrcnmm{ botween the valuations of 1878 und 1880, mul put property-owners on the tux-hooks; then they would have enongh money for eity purposes without taxing ine- chanles. Seputor Wright expressed _the bellef that Theso nvocations tho bill wns n good one. nro to ‘Bhoulil by taxed. “They made thelr living from the fact they lived in the great city, ‘Theso peoplo plied thelr trades and profus- alons; paid u littly or no licenso or tax, 'The bill wis n good ene; It equulized tuxntion, and should becomo o law, Senator Adams took the floor, The objec- tlons made were not valld. THE BILL OPPRESSED NONODY. Lnboring men were not hurt bir it~ ‘T'ho sys- tem had existed In St Louls for over ten yeurs. 'This kind ot tax was lovied in that eity under specinl churter, No bad effects wero cumr ined of, and St. Louisans wero sntisfied with it. ‘There was no reason why professional men shoukd be taxed. As for corn doetors, soine of them niade $10,000 por annun, Why not tax them ? ‘Pl Senator argued at lenith In favor of his blll, Senntor Lanning sald as vaiuations in Cook County decrcused the valuntion of rural districts went up, beeauso of the labors of Exllmmlrumsu before the State Board of Squalization. Senntor White took the part of Chleago agalnst the country mombers, aud at somo length advoented the passagza of the bill with an srray of facts and tigures, “Fhe bill as nmonded reuds as follows: A 1L for an net to grant curtwln powers to eitfes und villnges.

White opposed the motion, and with it the bill, maklng his old speech In favor of “township units?” and atlacking the mens- ura as something Intended to destroy what- ever was ennt by thas favorit phrase. Colling asked his collengueif there was anything (n the bill itself which would ne- cessnrily bring about consolldntion, White dodged the question and it wns re- peated, 1o took refuge then In the state- |lncnt that it was at least a step in that direc- 10t The argument would have gons on for some time further, but Murphy's speelul order came up and left themotion to recou- sider high and dry, COMPENBATION OF MIEMBERS, Murphy sent up o couple of merely verbal amenduments to hia flxed compensation con- stitutionnl amendment resolution, and mnde ® Jong aveument in favor of its adoption. "There were no other ofiicers In the Stato be- sides members of the General Assembly who wero allowed a per diem, and at the samo time allowed the priviiege of muking us much * thne * as they wanted o, ‘The com- mon objection—viz.: that the amendment was unnecessary, the Constitution em- powering the Leglslature fo fix its own pay,—Mr. Murphy thought to bo no good. Under the Constitation the Leglislature wns prolubited from fixing Its own pay, and If the present Legislature should passa bill on this subjeet It must necessarlly do this, Inasimuch ns a portion ot the Senators held over for unother term, s own iden had been that $500 u year was suf- ficlent, but- tha Judiciary Comiuittee had thought 8750 the proper figure, and he was not disposed to question tho soundness of their judgient. Chafee, of Shelby, wanted to know If tho members il ever drawn $750 a sesslon. Murphy replied that they had, and pointed to tho fizures as given in the Auditor’s To- ports to substantinte his stutements, ‘T'he verbal nmendments weve lost, where- upon Carr, of Greene, sent upanother, which proposed to. muke tho salary of members 81,000 per regular session, It, too, wiy spoed- ity lost, as was nlso the Judiclary Commit- tea’s amendment changing the sum ori nally named in the resolution—§n00—to S50, Munn, ot Vermllion, contended that tho principlo of TILE RESOLUTION WAS NIGHT, and hoped 1t would go to the people, who ‘wero the best Judges of whas the services of the leglslators were worth. Generally speak- Ing, ho was in favor of short sesslons, nnd quick work in killing bills, Cowan, of Mucoupin, contended that it was all wrong, the people having declded that ten years ago when they adopted a Constitution Jeaving It to the members to fix thelr own pay, ‘The tendeney of the provosed amend- ment was not towards economy, if the chur- nacter of the members was such us it was too commonly represented to be—something which he did not belleve. It placed o pre- mium on extra sesslons, and 1f the members wero dishonest,—which ig still did not be- liove,—they could sit as short u thne us they plensed, draw full pay, go lowe, nnd come back ngnin for an extra session. AMr. Cowan nlso took occasion to re- ter to tho old forty-dnys’ sesslons and tho $2 a dny pay, and to Intimate that the pnlmy days of the third houso were in danger of being relnaugnrated when the members were put on an allowaneo of $500 n sesslon, 'rue, o good deal of thno was be- fng spent In killing bills, but the majority of them came from the people, and It was neces- sary to attend to thom, 1n the course of his talk the member from Macoupin wns Interrupted by a string of. questions from Joe Mnnn, whao erlticized tho carly adjournments of the Judielary Comnit- tee, us o regarded them, and wits answored that when the Committea ndjourned, it was that some of its members, who werenlso on the Election Conunittoe, might go to supper, and then return to the funlllw work of counting_ *Mioro 134" [Laughter.] Tho member froin Ver milfan wis PRETTY BIARPLY CRITICIZED himself for having been nbsent fifteen dnys during the sesslon, but the gentleman from Mncunvln was manly enongh to admit thut the Vermition 1w had frequently ex- pressed liw regrets at belmg compelled to o llome owing to previous ongagemoents In eourt, Murphy and Yancoy triod the questionin business several thaes, but found the well- posted Cowan, who 1S about ns well read a man a8 there 8 in the Ilouse, entirely too much for then, On ono of these occasions the Falstafllan Yancey was completely non- and stood hanging on to the ¢lge of s desk and unable to get back at his Ma- coupin nelghbor, while oven the Democratic brethren_around Nilm_enjoyed iy predica- mont and jolned the Republicans In turning tha lnugh on him, Crook, of Springfield, opposed the amend- wmont_on they ground that the Lestatuve could fix 1ty own pay, and was sharply In- terrupted by Murphy, who wanted to know if theSpringileld peoplo didn’t always opiose o nlm{msllh;l: to cut down the pay of the Gen- orl Assembly, ‘The Springlield man Indiznantly denfed the Insinuntion that the Bpringfleld peaple were [n the hublt of living off the small pit- tance pukd by tho wentlenun from Terr (Murply), or any other member, for bonrd, Yuncey got thy fover himself ut last, and slashed sround for somne e i an attempt to ndvocate the resolution, Mitehell, of MeLonn, took the opposlt stie, and proceded in a torso and pithy way to show that tho mmendmont was unngeessiry, the framers of the Constitutlon having wise- 1y left It to the Legislature to reguluto ity oW1 pay, l(ell ', of Perry, got in an amendment to dock the members §5a day every duy they weroe absent, - Murphy uccepted it and proposed another, which cut no purticulur fizure, amd thon culled for the yeasund nays on tho resolution as amended.
