The Ford Franchise Tax law was passed in the spring of 1899, as the result of an agitation started and sustained by The World, of which Gov elt availed himself in practically forcing the bill through the Legis- ature in the face of the opposition of Senator Platt, Mr. Odell and their | | within a few days a petition signed by 20,000 taxpayers, representing egates of fourteen commercial and other organized bodies of this city, | having a membership of 110,000 and representing $80,000,000 of capital, to release the Ford bill from the Assembly committee in which the Platt: {Odell machine had it “held up.” The bill was reported, and passed tri- ‘tumphantly. In 1903 Gov. Odell sent a special message to the Legislature de- | Claring this taw to be “inequitable” and recommending in substance that it be repealed and that street corporations be taxed instead on their gross | earnings. The World at once proclaimed that “the people will have to be | “geckoned with before this iniquitous programme can be put through.” | “Public opinion, aroused and informed by the press, was so unmistakably favorable to the tax that the attempt to repeal it was abandoned, The court of last resort having now sustained the law, it is expected | that the corporations will pay their arrears of taxes, with interest, amount: | ing to more than $20,000,000. The sub-bosses may “howl down” resolutions censuring the five fammany Senators who helped to defeat cheaper gas, but they cannot “howl down” the censure of the people in November.

Many of the trees were in a bad condition at the time they were planted, and the subway ih poe apparently took the view that any kind of tree would fulfil the -and that they would “live or die’ in broken macadam and sub- way clay as well as in the good earth in which they were originally iN , This is not a large matter financially, but the city authorities should Insist on the Interborough Company, which has succeeded to (he original subway contract, carrying out this provision. There are too few places in New York where there are trees, and the preservation of those on the f+ Boulevard were provided for in the contract, and the provision should be faithfully executed, x The People’s Corner.
