AGAINST THE FRANKING PRIVILEGE Recommendations Made by the Finance Committee. OTHER BUSINESS TRANSACTED The first thing the national board of trede did this morning was to express profound surprise at the statement in a morning paper that the board had in- dorsed the income tax embodied in the teriff bill. The official stenographic re- port of the proceedings showed that no positive action was taken on the petition asking Congress te repeal the law, except that by a vote of 36 to 16 the resolution wes tabled. In effect the delegates got enthusiastic over the prospect of having their several incomes taxed, but théy did not recommend anything in particular. J. L. Forward, representing the Chester, Pa., board of trade, was made a vice president of the national board; Mr. Hamilton A. Hill was re-elected secretary of the board, and Washington designated as the place for the meeting in 189%, and the fourth Tuesday in January as the date. Finance Committee's Report. The finance committee sutmitted the fol- lowing report, which was adopted: Resolved, That in the judgment of the national board of trade the establishment of a sound, stable and efficient monetary system is essential to the restoration of confidence and the prosperity of our in- dustrial interests, and such restoration is an immediate and urgent duty of the na- tional Congress. ‘That the essential provisions in such a system should include the relief of the gov- ernment by the retirement and cancella- tion of the legal tender rotes, under safe and proper conditions as to time and method, and also provision for revision and extension of the naticnal banking sys- tem under conditicns which will maintain our monetary standard and secure to the country a safe and ample currency to take the place of the notes so retired. Resolved, That in the event of failure to agree upon such legislation by the present Congress we earnestly recommend that pro- visien be made by Congress for the creation of a monetary commission, non-partisan in character, selected with reference to quali- fications in ability, knowledge and experi- ence in monetary affairs, and as far as porsible representing all parts of the coun- try, to formulate and recommend to the succeeding Congress legislation appropriate to the difficulties and removal of the evils now existing. A resolution by Mr. Hackett for appoint- ment of a committee of five on the reform of the banking system was adopted. Mr. Warner's Address. Mr. B. H. Warner of the Washington board of trade made a brief address to the national board, expressing regret that the customs of the national board did not per- mit the Washington board to extend to the meeting such entertainment us they would like to offer. “But next year,” said Mr. Warner, ‘we shall expect to give the na- tional board a banquet, and we hope the invitation will be accepted.” A resolution by Mr. Warner giving the indorsement of the national board to the proposed internaticual expositicn in Baiti- mere in 1807 was adopted. The committee on western waterways reported that the improvement of the Ohio issippi rivers and their navigable tributaries should continue to cemmand the attention of the national government. They also asked that aid be given to a ship canal from Lake Erie to the ocean. The committee also urge the control of the Nicaragua canal by the United States, and it was urged that financial aid be given to that enterprise. The meeting voted to ask Congress to pass the Senate bill on the Nicaragua cenal without amendments. The committee on railroad transporta- tion reported in favor of urging the pas- sage of the Riley bill, now pending in Con- gress, and also the Patterson interstate commerce bill. Against the Franking Privifere. The committee on postal service, through Mr. Acker of Philadelphia, the chairman, submitted an exhaustive report attacking -notorious abuses of the mails by publish- ers of cheap and trashy literature, and ask support for the bill prepared by the Postmaster General and now before the House committee on post offices. This re- pert attacked unsparingly the .franking privilege as employed by the government departments, alleging that it cost the gen- eral Post Office a large part of the annual deficit. The report made the following di- rect recommendations: That a radical modification of our postal laws be made, so that no part of the postal system shall be furnished to any class of citizens at less than the present average cost, which would secure, first, 1-cent let- ter ‘postage; second, the consolidation of second, third and fourth-class matter into one class, with the uniform rate of i cent for two ounces, or 8 cents a pound; third, to charge to every department of the rov- ernment, or any one now entitled to the franking privilege, the cost of such service, so that every department shall show a true and correct report of its operating ex- penses. Resolutions on the naval reserves, a reso- lution calling for a strict enfor nent of laws relating to railroad land grants, de- claring that New York harbor ought to be fortified at the eastern entrance to Long Island sound, asking legislation by Con- gress to protect railroad trains from rob- bery by increasing penalties cherefor and making a second offensé punishable with life imprisonment, and asking for the en- actment of a law for uniform trade-mark registration in the effort to avoid litigation, and establish and make secure ownership in this form of property, Were adopted. Committees Appointed. President Fraley announced the following committee on uniform commercial reports: Ryerson Ritchie, Cleveland; L. S. Lyon, Chicago; E. O. Stanard, St. Louis; F. B. Thurber, New York; Daniel Miller, Baiti- more. He also appointed Mr. Thurber, Mr. Mec- Menamin, Mr. Speare, Mr. E. P. Wilson and H. F. Dousman, a committee to present be- fore Congress the Thurber resolutions in behalf of the Patterson interstate com- merce bill. Mr. F. B. Thurber, for the committee on railroad transportation, to whom the sub- ject was referred, reported a_ resolution, which was adopted, against the appoint- ment of “friendly receiverships,” and ask- ing Congress to pass a law providing that no person who had been a director, officer or employe of any bankrupt corporation should be eligible as assignee or receiver of such a corporation. Income Tax Resolution Tabled. At yesterday afternoon's session the reso- lution calling for strict inspection of im- migrants by United States consuls was passed, as were one providing for the com- pilation of uniform commercial reports from various cities and one calling for better crop reports from the Agricultural Department. ‘The resolution against the income tax was tabled after quite an exciting time, during which speeches against the reso- lution and in favor of the tax were made by Messrs. Raymond of Detroit, A. R. James of Buffalo, Mr. Mulcahey of St. Louls and Mr. McMenamin of Philzdel- A resolution favoring a tariff com- tnission was passed and one asking Con- gress to provide a system of reciprocal trade relations with foreign countries, es- pecially with Canada, with Mexico and with the Central and South American states. —_— Brooklyn Heights Co. charter.

Mr. Depew and Speaker Fish Discus: the Matter. A conference between Mr. Chauncey M Depew of the New York Central railroac and Speaker of the Asesmbly Hamilto: Fish of New York has resulted in the set tling of the pass question for legislators. at least so far as the manner of providin: transportation is concerned. Mr. Depey was firm in the opinion that there was n way in which the constitutional objectio:. could be overcome, so as to allow th: legislators to either travel on passes or t- accept a certificate equal to a pass from th secretary of state. Together with Speake Fish he decided that the only way to prc vent the legislator from having to spem. the larger part of his salary for railroa: fare was to have a bill passed allowing th members mileage. He said that the rail rcads were willing to aid in the matter b. honoring the mileage certificates of mem bers when signed by the controller, so tha the state will lose nothing by the operatior A bill embodying the views of Mr. Depew re Mr. Fish will be prepared for introduc tion. soe, CAPITOL TOPICS, - Labor Bulletins.
