CLEMONS MADE
STRONG SPEECH
SPOKE IN FAVOR OF TAXING
BIO CORPORATIONS.
Declared That Councils Were Not
Bound to Sit Down nnd Do What
the Water Company Wants Done.
Corporations Enjoying a Monopo
ly nnd Public Franchises Should
Be Taxed, He Said License Tax
Ordinance Passed on Second Read
ing, as Originally Amended.
The license tax ordinance Imposing
a tax upon the gross receipts of the
local public service corporations was
passed on second reading by select
council last night, as amended some
five weeks ago,
There was no opposition to the pas
sage of the measure on second read
ing, but this was largely due to tho
fact that a number of the members
.aboreii under the impression that a
cM'latu amendment, offered by Mr.
Merrlman, had been enrrled, when Iti
reality it bad been defeated.
The oidltiance, when called up by
Mr. Mehln, was in 'lite form in which
It was lift after council got through
with It n few weeks ago. It provided
for a tax of live per cent, upon the
gross leccipts of street railway, water
and gas companies, and for a tax of
two per cent, upon the gross lecelpts
of telephone, steam heat and electric
light companies.
.Mt. Melvln offered an amendment to
reduce the tax on water companies
from live to two per cent., but looked
much chagrined when he found that
no one moved to second the amend
ment. Mr. Merrlman was to tho front next
with an amendment providing that Un
tax on all six of tho companies be
placed at three per cent. Ik-fore he
got an opportunity to talk on his
amendment, Mr. demons was on his
feet, beginning a lengthy speech In
favor of the ordinance In the form
in which It was then before council.
WHAT CLFMONS SAID.
"Th?re seems to be a disposition on
the part of these companies to avoid
this taxation," said he, "but we've got
to face the Issue. We all of us know
that no matter what the tax we im
pose upon these corporations, they will
plead poverty and try to avoid pay
ing it. Theio may be some of the
corporations listed here that cannot
afford to pay a heavy tax, but every
Intelligent member of this- council
knows that the water company and
the gas company can afford it.
"The Scranton Ons and Water com
pany, which for years furnished tills
city with water for public purposes for
$.".,W(i a year, announced through Ita
president some months ago that $1",
000 p-r annum would br- the price In
the future. An ordinance was drafted
providing for the execution of a con
tract at tills llgure, but its passage
was unnecessarily delayed, and it died
when count lis reorganized.
"A new ordinance was introduced,
but because It did not pass with sulll
cient promptness to please the presi
dent of tins august corporation, he
withdrew his offr of lU'.OOO, If you
please, and calmly Informs the re
corder that It we want water In the
future we must pay Jt.l.OOO a year.
With this proposition before us. shall
we sit here as the representatives of
til" taxpayers of this city and vote to
reduce the tax on this company. Shall
ttu sit bete and do this on the basis
that we must do everything the presi
dent of this corporation says we shall
do?
"To the individual on th fence It
looks very much as If tills withdrawal
of the company's former offer of $12,
000 was made with a view to opening
up negotiations in the future, it will
be observed that the offer was not
withdrawn until after this tax ordi
nance was introduced, it is reason
able to presume that the president of
the water company Imagined that he
could get anot'her committee appointed
and that he could say to the mem
bers, 'ICMMiipt us from this awful tax
and we'll let you have water for $12,
000 a year.
F.I.F.CTWO LKiUT TRUST.
"There may be some of these com
panies that are re.illy poverty-stricken.
The electric light company, which
now consists of a combination of all
the former electric light companies,
and which Is a sort of a trust In a
small sort of a way, and which Is a
real monopoly, may be hard up and
unable to pay any taxes. Its officials
say It is, but I don't know much about
It.
"There Is no question but that the
only way to tax corporations Is to
tax their gross receipts. It Is an ex
tremely hard matter to get anything
like a fair Idea of their net lecelpts,
unless we tax them ab-iuidly high, an
they did in Xew York state, and thus
make th-in show their hands. That's
not a good way, however, and I re
peat that this is the only right way to
impose ii tax on corporations.
"The thin- has come, gentlemen, for
us to do one thing or the other, I am
willing to stand up for fair play every
time for Individual tax-payers or for
corpoiatlons, but I say to you that we
will make a serious mistake if' we fall
to pass this ordinance. We are now
a city of tin- second tlass and the In
creased expendltiiics which have been
necessitated by tin- change must be
met In some way. We have looming
up before us over $100,000 worth of
Judgments which the ripper bill says
must be paid next year.
"Mow are we going to pay them?
Mow aie we going to meet this in
creased expenditure? Are we going to
Increase the taxes of the Individual
tax-payers or arc we going to make
these corporations contribute a Just
share to the expenses of our muni
cipal government? What do you sup
pose the people of this city will think
If we sit heie and calmly increase
their taxes and exempt the corpora
tions? Do you suppose for a minute
that they will be satisfied?"
Mr. Oliver spoke In favor of the
adoption of Mr. Merrlman's amend
ment, lie was Just as much In favor
of taxing the corporations as was Mr.
demons, ho said, but ho thought It
unwise to go In too heavy nt the out
set. He thought that the ordinance
should bo merely an entering wedge.
Some of the companies should he taxed
10 per cent., ho said, hut this could he
done later on.
Mil, MF.rmiMAX'.S FKAHS.
Mr. Merrlman spoko along similar
Hues. Ho seemed to he fearful that
If tho tax was placed too light the
ordinance would be done to death In
common council when It got over to
that branch for concurrence. Ho said
that none of the ineinbera should let
their personal feelings carry them Into
extremes.
Mr. demons took occasion to re
mark that he had no personal feel
ings In the matter, but was guided en
tirely by what he thought to bo the
best Interests of tho city.
"I'm not opposed to corporations,"
said he, "and I don't want the gen
tlemen to Imagine I am. I have been
regardful of the Interests of private
corporations who start tip In business
In this city nnd who meet with sharp
competition. We should do everything
In our power to conserve tho Inter
ests of this sort of corporations. The
corporations that we arc alining at
now are the corporations which have
no competition, and which not only
enjoy a monopoly, but nlso public fran
chises for which they have paid abso
lutely nothing."
Mr. Merrlman's amendment was de
clared defeated by a vlva-volce vote,
but several of the members who were
not paying much attention to tho
course of events Imagined that It had
been carried,
Mr, Melvln next offered an nmend
nient providing for a tax on steam
heating companies from two to one
tier cent, of the gross receipts, but was
again unable to lliul a second to the
motion.
President Chittenden tamo down
from the chair and made an amend
ment which met with a similar fate,
"I move," said lie, "that we throw
away all these amendments and pass
the ordinance on second reading Just
as it came to us from tho common
council. We'll never In the world bo
able to get common council to approve
of any of these amendments and we'le
simply wasting time."
OX SF.COXD UKADlXt!.
President Chittenden looked around
for a second to his motion, but every
body was still and he gave It up. The
ordinance was then passed on second
reading, without a bit of oppni-iMou.
Some of the members felt like kicking
themselves real good nnd hard a few
minutes afterwards when they found
that Mr. Merrlman's amendment had
been defeated anil not passed.
The established precedent III coun
cils for years past has been to wait
until all amendments have been
printed before passing an ordinance on
third tending. The am'-iulments
adopted live weeks ago had not been
printed, and the ordinance could there
fore not be called up on third read
ing. Mr. demons was very anxious,
however, to get the measure to a
final vote last night, believing It to
be a ease of "now or never," and de
spite this ptecedi-nl, he called It tip on
thlid leading, and moved that It be
passed,
I'le.slclent Chittenden Intimated tint
be wtiildn't consider the ordinance,
anil Mr. demons then moved that
council go Into committee of the whole
for the purpose of amendment. There
was nft objection, and Mr. Wagner was
called to the chair.
"I now move," said Mr. demons,
"that we do what Mr. Chittenden
wanted us to do some time ago, name
ly, strike off all amendments and
leave the ordinance as it came to us
from common council, and as It is
printed here. 1 only make this motion
because I feel that If we don't do
something definite tonight, we'll never
do ll"
His motion was not put, how'ever,
a" the quorum was broken by a num
ber of the councllmen leaving the
room. Among those who left were
councllmen openly opposed to the or
dinance and those who were support
ers of Mr. Meniman's amendment, so
that It could not be said that any ele
ment in particular broke the quorum.
The remaining members decided to
adjourn until next Monday night,
when the ordinance will be finally con
sidered. AIAO.ISTTiATF.S' SALARIES.
Some little discussion 'was caused
when the ordinance fixing the salaries
of police magistrates was called up
on second reading. The ordinance as
amended In common council provided
for a salary of $100 for each magis
trate. Mr. Melvln offered an amend
ment fixing the salaries as follows:
First, Second and Third districts,
$:i00; Fourth district, $300; Fifth dis
trict, $-'00. He had a series of figures
showing that the fines received In tho
central part of the city nnd In North
Scranton far exceed the amount re
ceived In West and South Scranton.
Mr. Cosgrove opposed this on the
ground that all the magistrates are o(
equa' rank and should therefore r---c-lve
equal salaries. Mr. Vaughan
also opposed the amendment.
"There are alderman in this city,
said he, "who would take the position
of police magistrate and work without
receiving any salary, just for the a 1
vertlslng." The amendment was lost
by the following vote:
Ytas llruan, H.ltin, Nhioeilrr, Clrmona,
( hit If mien 3.

mr, Sihneiihr, Shea. Meirhimi, CciRruve, Oil
ttr, ii'llujle, VoiiKhun, Mi Amlrrw -l.
A belated report from the police
committee was then received. In the
form of on amendment fixing th" sal
ailes as follows: First and riecond
districts, ti'iO; Third and Fourth dis
tricts. $100; Fifth district, $R00. This
amendment was adopted without dis
cussion and without opposition. An
other amendment was adopted, taking
the Twenty-first ward from the North
Scranton district and placing It In
the- West Scranton district.
A common council resolution exon
erating taxes on leal estate In th'
hleenth ward, was ruled out of ordc
by President Chittenden, who called
the nttentlon of the members to the
fact that Recorder Council had vetoed
a similar resolution, because It was
contraty to law. The resolution di
recting the city solicitor to appeal the
case of the city against K. H, St urges
was referred to that official for an
opinion as to whether there Is any
possibility of an appeal being success
fully taken.
An ordinance was Introduced by Mr.
Vaughan appropriating certain bal
ances for tho payment of additional
deficiencies. A resolution Introduced
hy Mr. Chittenden, was adopted, per
mitting the property owners on the
j'oitherly side of Lackawanna avenu",
between Washington and Adams ave
nue, to enter into a private contract
for the paving of the street In froat
of their properltes with asphalt.
The following ordinances passed
third and final reading: Providing
for tho grading of Mooslc street; pro
viding for the construction of side
walks on certain blocks on Providence
road and North Main avenue.
