the law, they were moi willing to defeat
the bill for the sake of voting against the 1
preamble. So fur as The preaxing Of the
preambles tothese bills was meant to icqmf
nit the Democrats To the declarations
contained in thcn4 the'gain y pot9ppa-
rent, since in voting for the bill, under
protest against the preamble, no point is
made on them. But the Senate substitutes

it has power to require tho payment Of
money in lieu off That is not doubted.
But when iron these premises he con-
cludes that the Legislature may require
the payment Of ajax bsciuseit does not
require military duty, we submit that the
conclusion is illogical. No such claim was
ever SET up before anywhere 50 fSras we
know. Ifsuch power existed, it would
not be easy to llmit ii. The Legislature
could refrain Gfom requiring a great many
things, and could make the taxi for each
forbcarancs Just what p It chose. 1t
would afford a yeEyc convenient EXCUSE
for laying taxes not authorized in the
constitution. Under tho, Virginia law
and Under our own Code, money paid as
the price of exemption from military
duty. Is assessed IS ~ fine fir non:pefs
formancc. 1t is. assessed on the general
officers by tho Governor and on tho rest
by rregimentaI courts, Where duty Is &C.
tually required, and the party Of whom y
is required ihay perform the duty or pay
the equivalent MS he chooses, the fine is
an 9 equivalent" for the exemption. But
to compel a man .o=pay dollar and as
sign as IL reason, that he is nnt required
to do something Is simply To- tax
hima dollar. Tho excuse assigned is no
part lof the oct There iiS preciSelythe
same authority 10 tax him without the
excuse as with it 1t Is not in that f4se y
tic equivalent" contemplated, because
lie has had no opportunity to perform the
dutyinstead.bnB 21ea@iI 3idh
In no quarter, therefore, does IT seem
possible to find authority for tho kind ofa
tax proposed by the Adjutant General.
Il may be some comfort 10 that
gentleman to know that this scheme
for a special tax Is not original with him.
Gen. PeirpOlnt, one of his predecessors,
had the same plan underadvisement In
1906; and for time thought Of recon-
mending it to the Legislature; but after n
thorough examination he satisfied himself
1t would not hold water, and abandoned
it. Gen, Pcirpofnt ,was quite AS good q Z,

New Element in the Bond Market

FromMs ". 7. Financial Chronicle Or Saturday.
The Senate funding bill, If adopted, and
II carried out with the success anticipated
by those best acquainted with the foreign
market, and with the character Of the in.
tCrcoursc between European bankers and
Secretary Boutwell, upon this scheme,
would have tho effect Of placing the Five.
Twcntics and Ten.F .Forties ut pNr In gold !;
while those bonds on which the Govern.
ment has no option Of prepayment would,
by reason Of their remaining at the pres
ent rate Of interest, rlnge ut oyer par In
gold. Under these circumstances, the
course Of tho funding bin in Congress will
bo watched with unusual interest. Gold.
bearing bonds, other than those Of the
Government, have been much flrlnCr upon
tho probabilities of the enactment Of the
funding measure. Such bonds would, In
that event, be sought by sellers Of the
Government Six-pcr.Cenls. The Pacific
Railroad bonds, being a sort Of semi. Gov
crnpcnt security, have been bid for In
large amounts to-day from this cause.
From he " ]: Rst Of Saturday Ettnlng.
Invicw of the prospect Of tho passage
Of the funding bill recently reported by the
SenatC Finance Committee, the attention
OtinVestOrs is naturally turned TO the long
bonds Of the government and to flrst.clnss
railroad bonds, which are the next safest
security for banks and trust funds The
1876 are tho longest Of the government
gold-bearing bonds. AT thcirprCsent price,
11s, aud having eleven years to run, they
yield an income of about 4 per cent. in
gold. The gold bonds Ofthe Central Paci-
1lc Railroad, which have about twenty-five
years 10 run, ut per cent discount, yield
about VI per cent interest in gold. We
have merely made the computation on
these bonds as illustrating the disparity in
value between government hnDtls and
goOd niroad mortgages. HMa
