JHAT BUSINESS TAX.
sEeal Estate Dealers' of Pittsburg
- Taking Steps to Defeat It.
)MUST BE SETTLED BY THE COURTS.
'They Won Once and Not a Cent Will Thej
Pay to the City Kow.
.IT MAT APPLY TO OTHER BUSINESS
Real, estate men have, started a fight
against the business tax which they say
will knock it silly when It gets into the
courts. Last year the ordinance of Councils
provided that the tax upon all men who did
a commission business should be 10 mills
upon each dollar. The real estate men
made a kick against that and refused to pay
a cent of taxes, upon the ground that they
were not properly classed. They all rose
up in arms against the 'provisions of the
ordinance. Ileal estate agents they were,
and under the clause of the ordinance they
were classed as commission brokers. Upon
that technicality they refused to pay the
tax, and the result was that when the tax
department threatened them with suit they
laughed and, pointing to the language of
the ordinance, told the city authorities to
go ahead and sue lor the 10-mill tax upon
their gross receipts.
Then it was that City Attorney More
land discovered a fatal defect in the ordin
ance, the result being that the real estate
agents paid not no taxes last year upon their
gross incomes. But last year Councils
remedied this by placing the real estate
men under the proper heading of real estate
agents. This amended section of the ordi
nance reads: "Real estate brokers, forward
ing and commission merchants, 5 mills
upon each dollar upon said commission or
brokage.
The Beat Estate A cents' A greement.
Last rear when the real estate men had
rained their point they still kept in service
their committee, consisting of S. A. Dickie
& Co., Samuel Black & Co., and Black &
Baird. Under their appointment at this
time these gentlemen drew up the following
agreement, which was signed by all the
best known real estate agents in the city:
We the undersigned real estate agents
doing business In the city of Pittsburg, be
lieving and being advised that the city busi
ness tax assessed at 10 mills on the gross
amount or business done by us partakes of
the nature of an income tax, and is tlieio
forre illegal, oppressive and unjust, do
heieDy agree to withold payment of said
tax, -ecure the opinion and service of an
attorney and test the legality of the assess
ment in the courts of Allegheny county.
"U'e do hereby agree to divide the expenses
of making said test in court pro rata among
us according to theamounts assessed against
tis respectively to an amount or leiral ex
penses tor an opinion not to exceed $500, pro
vided an opinion bead prior to June 15,
1891: this matter to be in charge of a com
mittee with power to act, consisting or three
real estate firms having the largest assess
ment, whose signatures are appended.
The signatures were those of all the big
real estate men, and the committee was ap
pointed. "When it was found that the time
for the payment of the obnoxious tax was
approaching, the committee was called to
gether and with them met a large number
of the real estate agents. They were
unanimous in their opinion that steps should
be taken to resist the payment of the tax
even if the case had to be taken to the Su
preme Court of the State. They lelt forti
fied in the iact that their attorney, J. Scott
Ferguson, had declared that the ordinance
Tvas unconstitutional lor the reason that it
was an income tax.
A Circular to Real Estate Agents.
Fortified with the opinion the committee
to-day will send to all real estate agents
this circular:
Pittsburg, June 2&
, , Do not pay your city business tax this
year, as the reat estate brokers intend to
test the legality ot the assessment in the
courts, having been successful in having It
exonerated last year. This has nothing to
no w lth the State mercantile license.
"Xow," Jlr. Gloninger, of the firm of
Black & Baird, "that circular tells just
where all of us real estate men stand. There
are about 300 of us. This tax, you must re
member, is upon'our gross and not our net
receipts. The tax ii a most unjust one, in
that it taxes practically our incomes, a
thing, we claim, not legal under the laws
of this State. "We won our fight last year,
because the people who drew the ordinance
evidently did not know what they were
doing. The tax this year is due on the last
day of this month, but we don't propose to
pay it until the case has been settled by the
courts, although the ordinance has been an
nounced to as to put us in the proper cate
gory of taxables.
"If we win this fight, and we are sure we
hall, then the decision will apply to other
lines of business. Indeed, I believe that
now we have made the move many other
people in business will, combine to fight
this iniquitous ordinance. It is an outrage
that a law passed many years ago, when
Pittsburg was in need of money, should be
applied in this age of progress when the 1
sources oi taxation should be beyond such
a means of securing revenue."
Swearing Down Their Kecelpts.
Another real estate man put his opposi
tion to the ordinance in this way: "I know
of a certain firm in this town that made a
sworn statement to the effect that their
gross brokerage was only 58,000, whereas
their clerk hire amounted to more than that
sum. This." said he. "was a mere Question
of swearing down your receipts. See what
an opportunity it gives for a man to com
mit perjury. No business man likes to
have the amount of his receipts placed be
fore the public. It is not fair."
City Attorney Moreland when asked what
he would do in case the"Veal estate men re
fused to pay the business tax, said that he
had no opinion to express until the real
estate men had refused to pav the tax. In
the City Collector's office it was stated that
no trouble was expected from the real estate
men, because when they refused to pay
there would probably be an arrangement
made whereby an amicable arrangement
could be reached.
At the office of the Collector of De
linquent Taxes Chief Clerk Lewis said that
he had no fear of any trouble over the col
lection of the taxes from the real estate
men. "Of course," said he, "if they re
fuse to pay the only thing for us to do is to
distrain. In this case I think that there
will be a case stated, to use the legal ex
pression, and that there will be no trouble.
They won't pay, we insist upon their pay
ment and then the Court comes in and
fixes the -nhole matter. Even were the
real estate men to wjn I cannot see hat the
decision would apply to other lines of busi
ness. We will send out the customary no
tices, and upon the failure of the party no
tified to 'come up to the Captain's desk and
settle," the regular notice will be served."

THE TEXAS LAUNCHED.
A Pine Battleship In the 'Water The Scene
Witnessed by a Large Number or lntrr
estrd People Description of the De
fender SlagnlDoent Boat.
Norfolk, Va., June 2a The battle
ship Texas, the first one of that class in the
new navy, was launched at the navy yard
to-day in the presence of a large number of
spectators, including representatives from
the Navy Department at Washington and
other officials.
The Texas is a steel armored, twin screw,
second-class battle-ship of 0,335 tons nor
mal displacement. Length between per
pendiculars, 290 feet; extreme breadth, 64
feet 1 inch; moulded depth, 39 feet 8
inches; designed draft of water forward, 22
feet; designed draft of water after, 23 feet.
The mean draft will be 22 feet 6 inches
when carrying about COO tons of coal, with
which amount she can steam 1,110 miles'at
her estimated highest speed, IT knots, or
8,600 miles at 10 knots. There is bunker
capacity, however, for 450 additional tons.
The main armament consists of two 12
inch breech-loading guns, each weighing
464 tons, mounted in two turrets, with six
6-inch breech-loading guns on the upper
deck. The secondary battery consists of
four 6-pounder and four 3-pounder rapid fire
guns, with four Hotchkiss guns, all mount
ed on the gun deck behind l-inch plating;
two Gatling guns and two Hotchkiss guns
mounted on the bridge, the same in the
military tops and two 3-pounder rapid fire
gnns on the flying bridge. There are six
torpedo tubes, one in the bow, one in the
stern and two on each side; a strong ram
bow adds to her offensive powers.
The turrets are armored with 12 inches of
steel and their bases are inclosed by a
diagonal redoubt armored with 12 inches of
steel, which also protects the hydraulic ma
chinery for workingthe guns and the smoke
pipe casings. A belt of steel armor 12
inches thick, extending 2 feet above the de
signed water line, 4)4 leet below it and 116
feet in length, protects the boilers and en
gines. A protective deck of 2-inch-steel is
laid above the armor belt; beyond this belt
it is inclined downward toward the ex
tremities and sides, and is 3 inches thick on
the slopes. At the ends of the belt are
diagonal-armored bulkheads of 6-inch steel,
pointed toward the bow and stern, whose
oblique surfaces afford additional protection, '
The hull is of steel throughout, and is built
on the cellular system.
The ship is lighted throughout by elec
tricity, and carries two powerful electric
search lights and two smaller search lights
for boat use. Ample ventilation lor maga
zines, shell rooms and quarters is provided,
and also fresh water distillers.
The Texas will be fitted as a flagship and
carry a complement of 368 officers and men,
her spacious decks affording much greater
accommodation and comfort for the crew
than is possible on cruisers:
