protested on similar grounds.
Upon filing the hill in the office of
the Secretary of the State, the Gov-
ernor issued the following statement:
. ”I have been asked to withhold
’my signature from llouse liill No.
1079, entitled ‘An act providing for
the imposition of a tax on films from
which motion pictures are to be. ex-
hibited within the State.’ The pro-
test against this enactment came to
me from the distributors of the films
and from those engaged in conduct-
lng motion picture enterprises for
profit within the State. I held a spe-
cial hearing in the hall of the House.
of ROX)rt3tIt‘!llflii'.-‘i‘n or. the eleventh
in order that all
concerned might have opportunity to
voice their objections to the bill. A!
the' hearing so held. the bill was
critiCized by the picture interests
and by their counsel at considerable.
length. Critics of the. measure con-
tended among other things that the
law would he unconstitutional, that
it would set tip a censorship over the.
exhibitors which is unnecessary and
undesirable, that it would be. imprac.
ideal in that its administration would
necessitate changing certain pram
tices which obtain in‘ the business of
leasing and delivering of films which
would prove troublesotmv to .‘h" ex.
hibitors and. finally. that it would
prove particularly burdensome to ex-
hibitors who would be rcquircd to
pay tax.
Administer Law.
“I am of the opinion that the law
can be so administered as to Elimi-
nate any constitutional question. As
to the second objection. it may be
said there was a considerable senti-
ment in the General Assembly favor-
able to acensorship of such pictures
shown in the State. The picture in-
dustry at the hearing bc‘fore the Ju-
diciary Committee took the view that
it. .was ready and willing to pay a.
tax to the State. if the censorship
vbill. to which very vigorous opposi-
tion was voiccd. was rejected.
“The censorship feature contain-
‘ed in the House Bill, No. 1079.
amounts to the minimum in this
direction. I do not believe that this
feature of the act before me will
prove distuibing in the slightest de-
gree to nnv exhibitor of the pic-
tures. While I do not generally fa-
vor the censorship idea, it is not dif-
ficult to observe that this provision
of House Bill No. 1079 may, in some
isolated cases, be very unsuccessful
in safeguarding the screen itself of
misuse and abuse.

need be impractical if it is properly

it is likely to cotnpelthlsindustry to
alter its practice in a way to sub-
ject distributors or exhibitors of the
public to any material inconvenience.
The last objection mentioned is that
which pertains to the rate of tax and
the determination of whether the
distributor or tlto exhibitor is to bear
the tax burden. The. bill requires
payment in the‘lrst instance by those
who deliver tenable films for the
purpose of exhibiting pictures there-
from in the State.
“As I am given to understand it.
the. burden of the tax. like all such
burdens, will and ought to be wide-
ly distributcd. It is most unlikely
that either distributors or exhibitors
in the last analysis will be required
to pay the entire tax. The public
very likely will he required to con-
tribute. No reason has been ad-
vanced. indeed none was attempted.
to show that the industry should not
be taxed for the benefit of the State.
On the contrary, all expressed a will-

reason here given, I have concluded
to affix my signature to this bill."

CHICAGO, June 26—With the re-
iirement. of Marvin Hughltt. an.
chairman of the board of the C'.i-
cage and Northwestern Railway, an-
ticipated today. Chauncey Depew
alone will remain among those
grand old men of railroading whose
genius and energy have given this
country its vast system of transpor-
tation.
At. eighty-seven. with sixty-nine
years of active railroad service al-
ready performed. the elder Hughitt
is doing his last directing of the
great Northwestern system . When
he leaves not one of the westerners
who pushed through the frontier to
build railroads into the then wild
northwest, will remain.
Death recently of Julius Krutt-
schnitt. chairman of the board of
the Southern Pacific thinned .tho
ranks of the pioneer railroading old
guard one third. Another third goes
with Mr. linghitt. and only Chaun-
ccy Dcpcw will then remain, a. di-
rector of the New York Central
Lines.
It was seventy-three years ago
that young Martin llushltt tired of
farm life in Cnynga county. New
York, and at 14 decided to cut. his
own path in life. He had heard of
an intrin- uing new instrument—the
telegraph—which then had caught
the. imagination of boys everywhere.
The appeal soon had this farmer lad
learning telegraph. He became one
of the first to read the instrument
"by sound. "
That accomplishment led him na-
ANOTHER GRAND OLD MAN OF
RAIEROADING STEPS FROM HIGH
ESTATE INTO RETIREMENT
Marvin Hughctt, Head of Chicago and North-
western for 38 Years, Had Little of Book
Learning But Rose Step By Step to Prest-
years ago made his connection with
railroading that has lasted ever
since. Horace Greeley'g admonition
to “go west young mamand grow up
with the country," caught. young
llughitt and he answered by hand-
lng for the great open space;
"Wm-k, work, and more work."
Mr. Huahltt says has been the for-
mula. he has applied since to bring
him to the high places he has filled
for more than half a century. Am-
bition. well directed. and a temper-
ate life, supplementng hard, earnest
work bring success in his opinion.
After reaching the west in 1854,
Mr. Hughitt first served the Chicago
and Alton, tl|vn the Illinois Central.
thenthc Chicago, Milwaukee and
St. Daub-which he left to become
general manager of the Pullman
Car Service Company. In 1811 he
left this work to become general
superintendent of the Chicago nnc
Northwestern, and in 1887 he be-
came this railrond'l president. a po-
sition he filled until elevated to
chairmanship of the board of di-
rectors.
'ihrough those active years, his
railroad pushed out into new direc-
tions and new places. There were
dealings and dickorings with In-
dians. which Mr. Hughitt often car-
ried on himself: there were engin-
eering difficulties. and his financial
questions, but he met them all in a
way that made the system be head-
ed one of the wealthiest in the
country.
The elder Hughltt. looking back
upon his success. admits that his
