Tax measure would require stockholder lists for out of state firms
The joint Massachusetts House committee on taxation debated a bill to require all corporations organized outside the state but doing business within it to file annual stockholder disclosures by May 1. The proposal aims to equalize tax burdens by revealing concealed holdings, potentially raising Boston’s assessed valuation and enabling greater borrowing. A hearing adjourned to next Tuesday. Boston, March 6. The DeRuyter, from Antwerp to Boston, struck near Scituate in a snow storm with 27 aboard, seven rescued at sea and the rest to be cared for at the government station as crews attempt salvage and cargo removal amid high seas.

Free ships bill seeks US registry for foreign built vessels
The bill proposed by Hon. John M. Forbes would suspend parts of Title 48 to allow US citizens to buy ships built abroad and register them as United States ships for foreign trade for ten years. It restricts such ships from entering the US coast or domestic passenger and freight service. Forbes contrasts free trade with British guild protections and argues competition and open shipbuilding will revive US flag shipping and shipyard activity.

Lyman defended by Dorman B Eaton in defense letter
Dorman B Eaton writes from East Twenty-ninth Street March 6 defending Civil Service Commissioner Lyman. He praises Lyman as a reformer who resisted spoilsman pressure, held firm for regular procedure, and urged expansion of examinations, while noting he is modest and not given to red tape. Eaton reluctantly critiques Campbell’s promotion as a possible error.
