We give space today to a lengthy COM
munication on the subject of an '.emer-
gency rate of freight on corn. one that
is just now being given considerable
thought and discussion in the public
prints. Many of the points considered
IN the communication have been touched
upon editorially in these columns from
time to time. but our correspondent ar
ranges them in a systematic and logical
way that presents the subject as a whole
in clear and forceful manner, and to
our notion offers the most plausible solu-
ton of the present depressed condition
of affairs of any that has yet been offer
ed. The article is worthy of careful
reading and consideration.

President Angel, of Michigan Uni
sersity, asks: "Is it too much to hope,
to expect, that Chicago will become the
great center of culture and intellectual
life of the nation?' 1t would not be, per-
haps, if the recent magnificent bequests
made there to further that line shall be
followed up by others in like proportions

The federal court at Atlanta, Georgia.
has decided that state can not tax Pull
man cars while engaged in interstate
traffic. As almost every one of those
cars crosses state lines, they are practi-
cally exempt from taxation. That point
seems TO be pretty well settled, and it
may be good law, but il is not equity.
The effect of the ruling is to exempt that
property from state taxation altogether.
Why it should be so exempt and other
railroad rolling stock, that is engaged in
interstate traffic, not SO, we are at q loss
TO know.

The call issued by Secretary Window
upon national banks holding government
funds to the extent of S47 .000. 900 to sur
render 10per cent of their deposits ex-
pired January l6. OF the 132 banks af-
fected by the call 10S responded, and the
amount surrendered was STOPS. 800.
Summary action viii doubtless be taken
In respect to the twenty-four which have
failed to respond. The secretary claims
that the calling IN of this currency does
not affect the volume of the circulating
medium, but in view OF the present
scarcity of money in actual circulation
and of the fact that the money thus re-
tired adds that much to the idle surplus in
the treasury, common people fail to COM
prehend the logic of the statement, The
only explanation OF the secretary's state
u1ent that we can think OF is that the
surplus actually in the treasury was ex-
hausted, hence the necessity for calling
in a portion of the deposits that belong
To that fund.
