The transportation Problem.

The necessity of some federal law for
the regulation of interstate commerce
has been generally conceded; but the
subject is too large and difficult to be
safely left to the treatment of many of
the men who are the most clamorous
for such legislation. Cheap politicians
have sought high road to preferment
by favoring some ill-considered plan
for the control of railway transporta-
ton, when, as was remarked in the de-
bate on the interstate commerce bill in
the senate last week, the question in
volved is one of the most difficult in the
science of political economy. The
tenor of the speeches made by several
senators on the bill shows that they
realize the difficulties in the way of
running the vast, complex and delicate
business of the railways by specific
provisions of law. On Wednesday last
an important amendment to the pend
ing bill, offered by Senator Camden of
West Virginia, was adopted by vote
of 20 to "a. The only republicans vot-
ing in the affirmative were Conger,
Fair, Morrill, and Sherman. Mr.. Ed
munds did not vote. The amendment
provides that it shall be unlawful for
any common carrier to charge or re-
ceive any greater compensation in the
aggregate for the transportation of pas
sengers or property for shorter than
for a longer distance over the same
line in the same direction. Senator
Spooner of Wisconsin made forcible
speech in opposition to the amendment.

The ROwell-HOrtOn Tax Case.

Mr.. Editor: The case of Rowell Us. Hor-
ton, decided at the last term of the supreme
court of Rutland county, does not, as re-
ported in some of the newspapers, decide
that the doubling section or any part of the
tax laws is unconstitutional. The case on
this point only holds that the listers in
doubling, must proceed as under the statute
of 1880; that is, that they must find property
in specie, appraise it, and then double the
amount; that they cannot assess arbitrarily
and add this amount to the amount of prop
erty found and double both. Walker, j.,
in speaking for the court, says: THE act of
1882 did not change this provision and re-
quirement of the act of 1880, so far as relates
to the finding of property, the value of
which the listers are authorized to double.
The sum that the listers have power to
double must be made up under the act of
1882, the same as before, of property found
in specie capable of appraisal. The belief of
the listers that the taxpayer has property
in addition to what they can find, however
well founded, does not warrant them, after
arbitrarily assessing the taxpayer for what
they believe he has in addition to what they
can find in adding the sum thus arbitrarily
assessed to the value of the property actually
found and appraised, and then double the
amount so ascertained. The sum arbitrd-
riy assessed cannot be doubled under the
act of 1882"

The Labor Contest.

The situation in respect to the labor
troubles has probably improved during
the past week. A good many strikes
have been settled in some way, and
there are not wanting indications that
we may have passed the worst stage of
the crisis. The workingmen are be-
ginning to count the cost and reckon
the gain of their movement, and many
of them now realize that the time for
demanding higher wages, or shorter
days work without decrease in pay,
was not well chosen. In some cases
their demands have been granted, but
in the great majority of instances no
concessions have been made by en-
ployers. Many hundreds of the work.
men who went out on strike find them
selves unable to recover their old situa-
tions or to procure new ones. The eff
feet of the labor troubles upon the gen.
eral business of the country has been
serious. 1t is estimated that nearly
half million dollars worth of business
in Pittsburg and Allegheny City has
been lost by strikes, and other points
have suffered to a greater or less ex-
tent from the same cause. Contracts
have been broken, orders counter
manded, the channels of ordinary trade
blocked and capital driven into hiding.
The whole country has been made to
suffer directly and indirectly, and yet
nothing substantial has been gained for
the labor interest. This failure is not
due to the hostility of public sentiment
to any just measures for the relief of
the workingmen, but to the fact that in
endeavoring to secure their own rights
they have failed to respect the rights of
others. In their attempt to control the
industries of the country by arrogant,
unjust and revolutionary methods they
have sacrificed movement which I'M
der wiser direction might have yielded
much of permanent good.

were about 2,S50,000 enlistments in the
Union army in the late war. OF these
$50 900 are said to have been of men who
enlisted for the second time. There
are about 100000 of Union soldiers
who were killed or who died leaving no
surviving widows or minor children.
This will leave 100000 who will get
pension in the event of the passage of
measure based upon the principle con-
tanned in the Mexican pension bill.
According to the yearly average of the
pensions now paid, the cost of such
bill would be Sly 100000 per annum.
There are several bills pending to in
crease the pensions of those who have
lost limb or are disabled, and these
are likely to pass. If we add the cost
of the bills which have prospect of
passing to the present expenditure on
pension account, the total would be
about SAT- 100000. This would be the
cost for the first year, provided all
claims could be adjusted in one year;
but after that the annual cost would be
about 1913, 100000. In this connection
it is of interest to learn that the cost of
our government is now more than ten
per cent of the gross earnings of the
people, while that of Great Britain is
only half per cent more. We seem
to be fast reaching as high percentage
as any other country in the world in
the expense of maintaining the govern
ment, and yet we have no costly army
or navy and no civil pension list.

Facts About Pensions.

Some statistics published recently in
regard to the amounts drawn from the
national treasury for pensions show
that this nation has thus far been more
generous to its soldiers than any other
in the world, and the end is not yet.
A short time ago congress passed bill
granting increased pensions to the wild
ows and dependent relatives of soldiers.
This will take about $4,000 900 annually
from the treasury. The house has
passed bill granting IS month to
every person who enlisted for service
in the Mexican war. This bill estab-
fishes the principle of monthly allow
ance during life for every person who
served in the war, and would also take
about $S,000,000 annually from the
treasury. If the Mexican pension bill
becomes a law, then there is a fair
prospect of the success of PROPOSE
ton now before congress to grant pen
sion to every person who served in the
Union army during the late war and
who received an honorable discharge.
A favorable report has been made to
the house on the bill to repeal the act
which fixes a limit on the time for filing
applications for arrears of pensions.
If this should become a law, it is esti-
mated that it would take from the
treasury at least 1925, 100000. There

THE house passed the river and har-
Dor appropriation bill last week, by a
vote of 143 to 1902. The negative votes
were principally from the East. Mr.
Grout voted against the bill. Mr.
Stewart was not present. The bill ap-
propriates SIS, 1912 The interstate
commerce bill occupied the chief atten-
tions of the senate. The Blair alcohol
bill from the senate was reported ad-
versely in the house. The democrats
are showing a disposition to oppose ap-
preparations for pensions and public
buildings. The anarchist demonstra-
tons in Chicago may lead to some pro-
posal for legislation to prevent the
entry into the United States of these
enemies of social order. There is
little prospect of favorable report on
the admission of Dakota, and the at
tempt to pass bill to construct a new
navy will probably be abandoned. SEN
ator Frye has succeeded in carrying his
amendment to the post-oflice bill, APP
propriating 100000 to carry the mails
in American built steamships, and au-
thorizing the postmaster-general to con.
tract for this service for not less than
five nor more than ten years. Eight
democratic senators voted with the re.
publicans for the amendment. The

encouraged with the prospect of pass

without foundation. He has no under

ANNEXATIoS-W notice that sons
OF the papers in discussing the question
of the annexation of North Idaho to
Washington territory are unfavorable to
such scheme. 1t is well known fact
that both territorial conventions in 1854
held at Boise City, made the annexation
question one # the plauks of their FLAT
forms. They both then endorsed the
annexation Of North Idaho to Washing
ton. The members of those conventions
were the Representatives Of the people,
aud as such made the contract, aud we
can see no good reason why either party
or the people should desire to revoke the
same. 1t is now to late to withdraw
those resolutions expressing sympathy
with North Idaho on that question.
Let the people and the newspapers stand
by the contract and support Mr.. Haley
in his honest effort to carry out the terms
thereof Let US be honest in politics as
in other things, and let North Idaho 90
