At 10:80 o'clock, be fore the seeslon of th legislature, which had been assembled In extra session to re ceive the report of the tax commission and the measure presented by that body tor enactment, Governor Van Bant today read hi message. Th prlBClpal portion wss de voted to tha recommendation of tha com mission, to which h mad om amend- ents, covering points which war suggested by th comlsslon but not approved by him. After announcing th occasion for th extra session to be the destr to secure a revision of the aomewhat mixed tax lawa of tbe atate. he urged that Immediate action oa the matter be taken, looking- to the paassg of law suggested hy th commission, with sucn amendments ss may be deemed wise. He argued against any discrimination ta the laws, especially speaking against any law which might make the poor bear an unequal share ot the burden ot taxation. H would not analyse th proposal of the commission, but simply called attention td It aa an Improvement over tbe existing atatutea and worthy ot consideration. He. however, particularly endord th sug gestion ot a permanent tax commission, op pose any reduction In the amount ot prop erty exempted from taxation and auggesta that the grain tax be made to agree with those of neighboring states. - The only other subject discussed la tha so-called railroad merger,, ot which ha says: Take l p the Merger. At this time 1 deslra to Inform tha lea-taa latura of the suit brourht bv the state nf Minnesota against th Northern Securltle company of New Jersey. Believing that this corporation wa organised for th pur pose oi evaaing ana violating in laws ot Minnesota by consolidating the rrooertle of the Great Northern and Northern Pa cific companies, which companies run narallal mnA MimnAlln. 11mm rf Hlla.tf within the state. . I ren-neated Attnrner General Douglas to bring suit In the nam of the stat to prevent such consolidation. He then quotea from the atatutea cover ing tha case and continues: That the Northern Securities comnanv can, and, If not prevented by the state, will, merge or consolidate the lines and property of the two - railroad companlea under one management I evidenced by reference to section 8 and 4 of the article of Incorporation of the Northern Securities company, which authorise that company to purcnase, hold, sen, assign, transfer, mortgage, pledge or otherwise diauoae of snares of the stock of any corporation or corporations, association or associations, of tne state of New Jtrsey or any stste, ter ritory or coutnry, and. while owner of such stock, to exercise all the rights, pow ers and privileges of ownership. Including the right to vote thereon. To aid In any manner any corporation or association of wlilcn any bonds or other securities or evldencee or stock are held by the corpora tion, ana to ao any act or tninga de signed to protect, preserve, improve or enhance the value of any such bonds or other securities or evidences or indebted ness or stock." Power Ar Uallmlted. Those power are broad a language can make them, authorise the Northern Securltle company, not only to vote the stock of the Great Northern and Northern Paclflo Railway companies, and thus ex ercise all tne Dowers and Drivtleaes of ownership and control, but specifically em power tne corporation to oo any art or thing designed to enhance the value of the stock of the companies mentioned, which, of course. Includes the right to Increase freight rates directly or change tne ciassincation or ireignt so . a to in crease the rates. Knowing that several other atate. In addition to Minnesota,,, would . b affected by thla consolidation, and that the de clared public policy of such states throjgh constitutional or legislative provisions was similar to that of our state, I deemed It wise to call a conference of the governors and attorneys general of the states through which tne l.nes ot railway pass, in order that such method of procedure might be adopted a would be uniform. This con ference wa held at Helena, Mont. 1 here were present the governor and attorney general, not only of our state, but also of Montana, South Dakota and Idaho, and the attorney general of Washington. The ! governor of the last named stste died ust prior to the conference, and owing lo his fact his successor. Governor Mc Bride, waa unable to attend the confer ence. Governor McBride haa since, how ever, In a published Interview, called tbe attention or tne peoput ec nis state to tne danger threatened by the consolidation of these two companies. The conference was harmonious throughout, and that th official representatives - of the several state were wholly in ympathy with th action of thi atate and Ha Intention to oppose thla consolidation, I shown .by the resolution which waa adopted. Ha rcltd tha argument before that court on January 17. and added: Coart af Laat Reaart. What th final decision will bs It I diffi cult to foretell, but It doe net aeem possi ble that a New Jersey corporation, no mstter what It capitalisation, will be per mitted to violate the law of th sovereign tat of Minnesota. If th final decision, should be against th atate, the battle I not then lost. There is one remedy that never fills and which is more auorema even than the supreme court. I quote tha words of Judas Brewer In an address made at the bicentennial of Tale college, in which ne saia, in speaaing oi trusts ana the Inability of the courts re- crush them, "appeal must be taken to the great court of public opinion, whose - decrees are Irreslsiable. In that court every man 1 counsel and every man Is Judge." It Is a plessure to commend Attorney General Douglas for the able and efficient manner in - which he haa endeavored to vindicate our laws I learned from him that the enactments upon our ststute books ure ample snd thst no additional legislation Is required at this time. But It, during your session, any legislation should b needed, will Immediately com municate that fact to you. While you have been called together olly for the in view of the extraordinary expenses at tending this suit and the great array of legal talent In opposition, 1 would sug gest that a sufficient sum of money be placed at the disposal of th Isgal depart ments to employ assistant counsel to prop erly continue the litigation and meet the expense necessarily connected therewith, Tha governor said further on th msrgeri If the supreme court doe not take Juris diction It Is the Intentiun of the attorney general to at once bring suit in the state court and every effort will be made to have the case reported In the court of last resort, where it must Anally be disposed of. Neither this company or any other company, combination, consolidation or trust shall violate the laws of our state If It can be prevented. 1 Raaeaer Hilled ay ladlaaa. TUCSON, Aria., Feb. a.
