Bex-ord favored the Mat tin bill, which provides that trie railroad property shall be taxed In the dlffireiit municipalities at the local rate and for direct local benefit. He asserted tbnt under the Martin act the railroad taxes would go where they belonged ami added that this could be done wltliotrl the services Of the state hoard of as sensors urged that the railroads be made t ■ fair use of the taxes required for the 1 running of the state and municipal

•rementa.

Josei* A. H««r of the Jersey City Journal and a member of the Hudson rltlzeua' equal luxation mlttee made an argument In fa' the system of dtrox-t taxing of railroads by the different taxlug districts as against the administration plan of having the state Impose this *411 at an arof all taxing rates and thfu distributing the money to the counties lx proportion to their population. He de dared that Jersey City was beini wronged- out of much money by tbi present system of railroad taxation. Counselor William H. Corbin, repre sentlng the Lehigh Valley and the Erie railroads, spoke strongly against policy of “soaking the railroads." the bills now before the Icgi-lnturc were. In bis opinion, uneonstltutlooal and manifestly unfair. The average taxation of the whole conn try. be de dared, was *274 a mile, while in Ne» Jersey It b> *777. If the governorti plan to make the railroads pay *N.000. 000 to the state In taxes Is carried out be said, the railroads would be bearing one-fourth of. the total taxes of the gjfate. and this would be unfair, would be nearly one-fourth of the net earnings of the roads. He said the railroads wonld support any just measure

of taxation.

The Pennsylvania railroad was represented by Frank Lloyd of Camden, who urged taxation that would be just to both railroads and private property owners. He referred to Governor Stokes' assertion that IVW.OOOJIUt) of -personal properly in lids state te «e caplng trxatlon and advised the legis lature to get after that pro;>erty.
