Railroad Costs dx Tolls.

The demand that railroad rates
be fixed on the basis of the actual
cost OF construction, equipment and
operation, instead OF upon the fcti-
tlous capital represented by stock
one half or more clear odter, is not
an unreasonable one. Mr.. G. Wood
Davis, a railroad man Of many years
experience, confidently asserts, in an
article in the February number of
the magazine arena, that while the
railroads Of this country cost an
average of only $4,000 per mile
for construction aud equipment, they
are capitalized for sl05 600 per mile.
This being true it is apparent that
to return dividends of say per cent
on the nominal capital Of SlO5 900
per mile, rates are and must be fixed
that would yield III per cent on the
actual capital invested in the proper
ty. Such representations justify
the proposition that the government
should take steps to ascertain the
facts in the matter, and if found to
be as stated, correct the wrong by
requiring reduction of freight aud
passengers tolls lnsuring only legaI
Interest on the actual money value

Semi Annual Tax Collection,

Governor Peck's recommendation
that the law be changed SO as TO
provide that taxes be paid in semi.
annual iusIalments ualf In July
and half ia January-must have
been stuck into the message by some
typewriter, and overlooked by the
reviewing committee. Nobody has
yet arisen to show any general adj
vantage there would DO in the
change, nor is there any apparent
demand for it from any section of
the state Possibly a few of the
heaviest taxpayers il Milwaukee
may have suggested it as convenient
for them, but surely the average
taxpayer Of the rural districts would
not be accommodated or benefited
by such a system. The farming
community, as a rule, market their
crops and stock in the autumn and
winter, and then more than at any
other time in the year they have
money. In the summer months our
farmers capital is all in use--in
vested in growing crops from which
they can have no return until after
harvest and threshing. Their time,
too, is more fully occupied in sum
mer, leaving them less opportunity
TO devote to other business than
that connected directly with their
farms. Tax.colectors' work would
be doubled 10y the proposed change.
TO collect and receipt for half the
tax of town, from the same tax
payers, would require the same time
and labor as To collect il all. In
eyi,ably the cost of collection must
he increased, or the collectors do
twice the work they now do for the
SEINE compensation. To merchants,
mechanics, professional men and
aborers the change would seem TO
be less announcement than to the
farmer. Expressions from taxpay-
ers, especially farmers, on this sub
icct, are invited Icy the TRIBUNE.

may be allowed TO put in word

pie Of Green county, don't change

After the Pacific Roads.

1t is learned from a letter by II.
a. Taylor, commissioner railroads,
to the secretary of the interior, that
action is about to be taken under the
recent decision Of the Supreme court,
in the case of the United States, APP
pellaut, VS.. the Central Pacific Rail
road company. This decision re-
verses decision OF the Couru of
Claims, and declares that, in
the process Of ascertainiug the net
earnings of the Union and Central
Pacific railroad companies upon
which % per cent. is required to be
paid TO the government under the
Thurman act, it is proper to de.
duct from the gross earnings
only the actual operating expenses,
repairs made within the year
and interest on the first mort
gage bonds. Under this method
the net earnings of the Central
Pacific company will be increased
over $4,000, 600, and the net earn,
ings of the Union Pacific company
nearly $1,000, 900 since the Thurman
set. 25 per cent. of which sums,
50 900. 600. should now be recovered

HE numerous runaway accidents
show the great danger that lies in
buggy riding. More people, it is
claimed, have been killed by runa-
way horses since the settlement of
America than have been killed in
battle in the same length of time,
and yet there is not one vehicle in a
million that has attached to it an
arrangement by which runaway
horses may be loosened and allowed
to go on, leaving the vehicle still
and the people in it safe. A good
horse Is treasure while it is good,
but any horse of spirit becomes a
lunatic as soon as it becomes ex-
cited, and there is not sufficient pre-
caution Ia ken to make that lunacy
comparatively harmless. And run
away marriages need some consid-
Grafton, too.
IT ought to pass-the bill provid-
ing an allowance not exceeding 5000
per year to county school superin-
tendents for expenses. Salaries
paid to these officers are not what
they ought TO be-after expenses
are paid-to insure the greatest
efficiency. TO exc out living our
superintendent is tempted to accept
gra,uitous entertainment by teachers
and others, at times when it might
be embarrassing for him to do 80
even if not prejudicial TO the SER
vice This never ought to be.
LACROSSE Republican: We advise
Republicans to join the Farmers
Alliance and help that organic ltion
IN It's fight against monopoies of
all kinds; against ignorance, vice
and treason, and prevent it falling
into the hands of working,
wire-pulling adventurerers who are
patting the farmers ON the back for
the purpose of stealing their votes.
Republicans aud farmers are natural
allies. The Democrats and the bum
have interests in harmony.
