Dear Sir: — I am a stenographer using Graham system, and am studying Spanish with a ^'iew to using it in connection with shorthand. I have not found the Graham very satisfactory for this use and referring to your ad. in Fehruarj' '^Bookkeeper" note you say your system is specially adapted to such use. AYould be pleased to receive some specimens of your system, and if it appeals to my idea of what thi>. kind of a shorthand should be, I Avill in all probability take it up. Trusting I will receive an early reply, I am, Very truly yours. 115 F. C. Clark, Detroit, Mich. Dear Sir :— I mail you under separate cover outlines of corporations. In organizing a stock company to manufacture your invention in this State there need be said nothing of your manner of doing business. If you organize a company for $10,000 the law does not require that any part of it be paid up capital stock.

' ' My Dear Sir:— 1 hog leave to thank you for the copy of yonr little hroclnire entitled '''Decline of Old (ilory/' also for the ontline of the Systematizing Society Association. I will give to these matters just as much attention as I can; but I assure you that I am obliged, out of the exigency of the case, to put aside many important considerations for those most important things which I am obliged to attend to. Let this, I pray you, be for the present my excuse. I have been ill recently, and am compeled to postpone everything except the most necessary matters. Yours truly, Executive Office, Lansing, December 29, 1899. To the Semite and TTonse of Uepresentatives : 111 iU'cordance Avitli my own views heretofore expressed, and in compliance willi the expressed wisli of a hirge nnmber of Senators and Representatives, I present to you for your consideration the following specific matter: The co])per and iron mining companies of the State of Michigan are not paying their ]^roportionate share of taxes, either State, county or local. The fundamental basis of taxation is that taxing officers should have the facilities and the power to determine the basis upon which taxes are levied and assessed. AVhile ,upon every class of property, whose value can be determined by investigation of taxing officers, I am in favor of an ad valorem tax that shall equalize them with all others, there are classes of ])roperty that cannot easily be assessed in that manner, and among them are mining properties. It is difficult for the assessor to know the actual value of a mine. Its values are hidden and can never l)e known until the ores are uncovered. There is little question but that the State is losing vast sums of money each 125 year in tlie matter of taxation by the present system of taxing mining properties. The mines of the ^N^orthern Peninsnla are largely owned by non-residents of the State. Bnt a very small proportion of the stocks are owned by citizens of this State. These foreign owners elect and control the assessing officers, and these pro]:>erties are taxed and assessed at snch valnes as they choose to place npon themselves. The copper mines of Tlonghton Connty alone are qnoted npon the market at not less than 130 millions of dollars today, and yet the whole property of Houghton County, including mines and all other properties, with sixty thousand population, cities and villages, is only ecpialized and assessed at forty-two millions of dollars. The inequalities in other localities are just as glaring. I therefore submit to you the proposition of passing a law that shall require the taxation of iron and copper mining companies upon their output, instead of an ad valorem tax as the law now requires. Respectfully submitted, H. S. PIKCtREE, Governor. 12? At tlio Durliani Assizes, in Ivegina vs. Laidlor, hoforc Mr. JiMicc Graiitliain, an interesting point was raised on the law of evidence, on which tlie learned jndge gave the folloAving reserved jndgnient at Leeds: '"With reference to the question raised hefore me at Dnrhani as to the admissil)ility of evidence hy a solicitor who was allowed to look at liis own acconnt of his interviews with the prisoner dictated hv him to a shorthand writer, and hv liim written in longhand shortly after the interview took place, I have no donl)t tliat I rightly admitted the evidence, and I mnst decline to state a case. The determining point in all these cases is whether or not the writing looked at hy the witness can he relied on accnrately to refresh his memory as to the facts therehy recorded, even when the memory of the Avitness is previonsly blank on the subject. It has been held in one case that a l)arrister who has forgotten all about the evidence given in a trial in which he was engaged can look at his notes of the trial and then say, 'As these notes are on my brief and were made by iije, 1 say that such and such CA'idence was given or Avas not given (as the case may be), although I have no recollection of the case.' (Regina vs. Ckiinea — l.s^llr. Circ. Rep. 167.) Again, a shortliand writer who had duly taken down in sliortliand the material parts of an address and could only swear to the substantial accuracy of the remainder \Nas allowed to refer to the whole of his report of the proceedings before giving his evidence. Again, when original notes cannot be found, the witness may look at a copy of them if he can swear positively from his own recollection after looking at the copy that it is correct. The use of a shorthand writer by a solictor is now so much a part of the daily work of his ofhce that if the reading of the account of his interviews v\dth his clients dictated bv him and transcribed at 120 once in longhand by the clerk, bnt read over by the solicitor some time after tlu^ occurrence, enables him to say positively such and such events did occur, no objection can be taken to liis so refreshing his memory, and in this case the solicitor had looked at tliis record of the interview soon after he had held an interview with the client. The shorthand clerk is his alter ego, and almost part of himself. In all these cases it is the peculiar circumstances of each case that must be looked to to guide us in determining the question. It is not like the question of the admissibility of evidence; the writer or Avritings themselves are often not admissible as evidence at all. In this case the evidence of the solicitor, apart from the notes, is clearly admissible. He then looked at these shorthand notes soon after the}^ were made, and he had looked 'at them again when before the magistrate, and as his eviden.ce before me could not have been excluded because he had on these occasions referred to his notes — if he had wished to aA^oid all question he coidd have looked at them the moment before he got into the Avitness box. * And if, as was the fact on those occasions, he could testify to the accuracy of the statements therein made, it would be the height of folly to compel him to give less accurate eA^dence than he could otherwise give if permitted to refresh his recollection in the v^ay mentioned. For these reasons I decline to state a case." — Law eTournal (London). TESTIMONY IN SUTTON CASE. On cross-examination Mr. Stevenson asked Daniels numerous questions as to the result of a worn type-bar wabbling laterally. He then called attention to the capital ^'G" and asked the witness if he did not find just what he had said could not occur, Daniels admitted the position of the letter as contended for 131 by Mr. Stevensoiij but said it was not contrary to liis statement and was easily explained. lie proceeded to giA^e a technical explanation of the result.
