Monkey House I'm C<.,t..1 p.,k

The monkey house in Central park is the
faporite resort of that half million of chill
dren who live in and around New York
Here there are fifty n,onheys. In one big
cage theFe are dozen new monkeys not
yet thoroughly accustomed to civiliza-
tton- Their cage has to be tidied
and so when the keeper enters with
hs broom the whole lot of them
squeal and scamper off to the oppo-
site side of the cage, and huddle there.
am certain they are not really scared but
only pretend. In this lot of monkeys. one
two foot monkey has become the dear
friend of a very small one, and SO when
ever they scaIDper from one side of the
cage to the other the big one acts as a
horse for the little one
All the monkeys are on intimate terms
with MIR. Jacob, the keeper, and some are
never happy unless they get into his arms
or can hang about his neck. As the keeper
has TO Use his broom vigorously in sweep
ing the floor it Is funny to see him carry
around necklace of live monkeys while
at his work
That monkey house is a scene of perpet-
uai motion. 1t can only be quiet when ali
hands are asleep. You will see a monkey
perfectly still and motionless, and you
VIII say: That chap is dead tired at last. No
wonder. Now he is going to take a com
Portable nap" Before you have said that,
on Is that very same monkey, swinging on
the rope and twice as active and energetic
as ever. 1t was only one of his tricks
You cannot help laughing when a mon
key looks at you If you stare back at
him he will blink and wink, then put his
head on one side, with a knowing air, just
as would a rude, vulgar little boy when he
says: Whom are you staring ats Hone
you'll know me next timer If you face
him for while. it Will end by the mon
keys yawning. which means, "You make

EpIToR DALLEs CHRONICLE
Notwithstanding the danger of reflect
ing upon the press of the city we reafirm
that the time to pass sentence is after
trial. The suggestions before made by
us relative to the recent railroad disaster
were to the effect that until it was ascer-
tanned that the accident was the result
OF the negligence of the company, fair
mess required us to suspend Judgment.
The company may or may not have been
grossly negligent and that accident NAV
be the result of such negligence: but
from the most authentic accounts there
is certainly room for reasonable doubt
The severe criticisms referred to bv us
may all be true but we submit thew were
not fairly made. We believe it is the
privilege and duty of the press to criti-
else the management of railroads and
all other institutions in which the public
are so deeply interested, but we think
such criticism like all other criticism
should be fair. The Union Pacific and
It's predecessors have many times ex-
PO1SNA OAOhiSOifcS W just cT1ClclSm t0elr
treatment of our city has many times
seemed unjust in the extreme: in the
matter of transportation rates it has
beens and is, excessively exacting simply
because it can be. On the other hand
have the people and press always been
as fair as they could be consistently?
Have we always manifested the same
fairness toward the management which
the city's interests demanded? Was it
wise to defy and ridicule the removal of
the car shops? The CHRONICLE has
never been and never will be the defend
ent OF the Union Pacific but will use it's
privilege and fulfill its duty to condemn
the wrong every where. But fairness
hurts no one. Sugar is more pleasant
even to corporation managers than vine
gar and where vinegar is not required
and is certain to do harm use little
sugar; it will not hurt if it does not helm.
If the company is careless or reckless the
CHRONICLE believes in saying SO with
such force and in such a manner as will
tend to correct the evil, but will endeayor
to treat all, even the railroad company.

ASSESSMENT OF CORPORATE
WEALTH.

This subject is receiving the attention
of the Missouri legislature and 1t ia
high time 1t should.
The assessment OF values for the pur-
pose of leVying a tax is always a deli
cate n and should be approached
with due de!iberation and care with
this end In view; To make every species
Of property pay its due share.
Cmder the pres ut law il Is The man
Of small nesns,t the farmer, the laborer,
the mechanic, upon whose shoulders
rests the heaviest weight of the tax
birth u, whi.e the wealthy corporation
o. extensive bu.iuess enterprise gets off
win the light end OF The log.
According to q rel ort made BY
Secretary OF State, Lesurur, there
are 1878 manufacturing and business
companies whose capital stock may be
Estimated al $500, 900 600; AIS banks,
with capital VI Sl5. 0OO,OOO; 1872 railroad
corporations, with capital of $4OO, OOO,.
O0O: S52 building and loan associations,
with capital OF 800, $1,000; 20 trust
companies, capital $l,45O,OOO; ~ In
uranc companies, with capital OF
1880, 900; telegraph companies, capital
~, 00O, 900; "a bridge companies, capt.
tai $l2, 100000, making a total half
paid capital stock of 1929, 900, 900,
actually invested in corporate enter
prises in this state. The assessment of
this property for taxes during the year
1890, approximately, was. Upon rail-
roads, 100000, 900; telegraph and
bridge companies, $4,000, 900; other
corporations, 800, 200 900, making a
total assessed valuation of $4,000 900,
which, deducted from the approximate
value of corporate property, leaves
q valuation of $4i5,9 600, 1000, which act
ually escapes taxation.
Bank stock, under the law, s assessed
at 40 par cent of its value, and ordi-
nary property, such as horses, mules,
land, houses, ETC., are assessed at about
the same relative figure OF actual to
assessed value.
Now if this rule should be applied,
to all kinds of property instead OF the
corporations of the state paying upon
q paltry $S4 900, 900 annually into the
treasures of counties and state, they
would paV uDon q valuation of S2lI =
100000.
The addition OF this mu CD wealth TO
the tax books would tend to reduce
taxation all around. The Intelligeucer
believes In requiring each dollar Of
valuation to bear Its proportion OF the
tsx.barthen. Anything less than that
is the grossest injustice to those who
paw more than their share.

NOT 4 STEP n a DARK.

Senator John Sherman, the prophet
Of the eastern plutocracy, aud Ex-
Comptroller Knox, the mouthpiece of
the single standard disciples, have both
made speeches lately on the monetary
question and both agree that the free
coinage of silver will be q step In the
dark. This is only theory on their par ,
and they advance It simply because it
Is to their financial interests and the
Interests Of those whom they represent,
to not have money any plentier than 1t

Although these two men only assume
that there will be q financial disturb
luce In case of the free coinage of
silver, their assertions are taken by
some people Is very timely warnings
To the Intelligencer, the reasoning
OF these two eminent gentlemen seems
%iallacious. The entire argument is
based on the assumption that silver as
a commodity has no staple value; that
even If to-day 4l2a grains of silver ue-
tenth fine should happen to be worth
the standard gold dollar,thst q fiuctua-
ton tomorrow or next week might
reduce this value several cents.
True,such might be the case as far as
the commodity value Of the metal is
concerned; and gold might possibly be
affected the same way.

fnest, or basest and coarsest, has any
value of its own. All talk of intrinsic

Take away from gold Its utility, take

could double Its functions, you could

How They Used to Treat Horse
Thieves.

One of our leading citizens, talking about
the horse theft out In the Odessa neighbor-
hood. recalled u little personal experience Of
the past. "Horse stealing" said he "became
so frequent that the cItIzeus organized q
vigilance committee to put q stop to 1t. 1t
WAS a good big commit ZEE having one hun
d red members,
lone night a couple OF horses were stolen
right In my nelghborhood, and l was one Of
twelve men detailed to hunt down the thieves
and recover the stock. The entire committee
promised to back Us In whatever we did,
after a good long chase we located our
game In = small grove and surrounded It..
While some stood guard others went into the
time the detail came back leading the two
horses but had no pr %isoners.
"'Hellop we shouted. Where are the
thieves?"
Tied TO the trees where we found the
horses hitched,' was the laconIc reply, and
for q long time no more horses were stolen
from our part Of the state"
A heroic remedy like that generally purifies
the atmosphere.

Is it not as well that The wages of the
laborers of this country should be

about the danger of silver coinage are

denying them the privileges and bene-
fits OF a more plentiful money supply,
are the enemies of the people.-lt is
tine tyranny of combined, concentrated,
centralized, conscienceless capital"
The men who ask for the free coinage
OF silver are moi children. They know
what they want, know what they are
asking for.
The writer has seen some of these
men willing to take this 'steD in the
dark"-seen them in their homespun,
and heard them discussing their wants.
Their language was not fruitful of
theory but very prolific of fact, and
while not flaming with polish it fairly
scintillated with good, hard, common
sense.
The people, the working people want
silver money. They want more money
and they are going to have it. They are
not uneasy about the flight of gold to
Europe. They know that gold did not
take unto itself wings and fly away
when the Bland bill begun flooding
the country with 1924 100000 per year,
and they have no fear OF disaster even
should the flooding process be doubled.
