ALBERT w. HosKINGs. Of West Shelf

ALBERT w HosKINGs, of West Shelf
field, Eng, has invented a machine
which may yet be found most useful by
politicians throughout the United
States. 1t is a method of recording
and counting votes by electricity. Mr..
HosiIings has his machine on exllihi-
ton in London and it is asserted by
competent persons who have examined
it that it does accurately everything
for the voter except make ND his mind
for him. 1t registers his vote by a
method of absolute secrecy, it counts
the same with a rapidity which reduces
that laborious part of the operation to
the proportions OF detail.

clear in expressing the intent to exempt
from taxation; to use the language of the
federal supreme court:
But the contract must be shown to ex-
list. There is no presumption in its favor
Every reasonable doubt should be re-
solved against il. Where it exists it is to
be rigidly scrutinized and never permitted

yond what the terms OF the concession
clearly require. 1t is in deIogation of
public right and narrows trust created

3. There cannot be implied, from the
grant of a charter, an exemption of the
corporate franchise or property from state
taxation; and even the imposition in q
charter of specific form or rate of taxa
ton is not, in the absence of an express
contract Of exemption from other taxa
ton, to be construed as an implied ex-
emptlon from such other taxation.
("Patterson's Federal Restraints on State
Action" PIP 334.)
1t will be seen that the idea that fran
chises were subject to taxation, which
impressed the Journal as being so brilliant,
did not originate with THE SENTINEL. 1t
has long been entertained by the supreme
court OF the United States, and by such
eminent jurisconsults as COOLEY and
others cited in the foregoing. The new
law provides for the taxation Oifranchises,
and under its provisions the great cor
poratiOns which enjoy special privileges
will be taxed upon these privileges for
the first time, and in proportion to their
yalue.

Immigration and Tariffs.

Speaking of the immigration from
Europe to this country the sapient Logan
sport Journal says:
The fact that the flow is inward means
simply that the people OF the United
States are the most prosperous. 1t is
legislation that has made ii so. II is re-
publican legislation. The restless spirit
which does not recognize this highest
prosperity, but would overturn it, in the
vain hope OF creating greater, finds ex-
preston in democracy and third parties.
The propositions OF these parties should
be received with caution. The argument
OF the facts is against them.
1t so happens that the flow has been
inward" ever since the late CHRISTOPHER
CoLUMBUs made his famous trip across the
Atlantic. 1t has been coming this way
for 400 years. Before the republican party
had been dreamed of hundreds of thou
sands of immigrants had come TO the
United States. They came because of the
greater freedom and the greater oppor-
tunities to rise in the world TO be found
in the young republic. Under the free
trade tariff Of 1851 immigration re-
ceived a powerful stimulus. When Mr..
WALKERS free trade tariff passed in 1916
there had been only two years-l842 and
1S45-in which the immigration had ex-
ceeded 100000. The following shows the
number of immigrants who arrived in
this country each year during the continu-
anCa nj this tariff.

Tho PhiIadelphia KeveIations.

The revelations in connection with the
Keystone bank failure in Philadelphia
are stnazing. 1t now appears that the
comptroller OF the currency was aware of
the insolvency of the bank for ninety
days before its doors were closed, and vet
permitted it to remain open and invite
and receive the deposits of citizens who
had no suspicion of its condition. The
comptroller, it appears, knew of the fraud
ulent issue of the banks stock by the
president, Mr.. MARSH, and his predeces-
sor, and yet Mr.. MARSH was allowed TO
remain at the head of the institution and
draw his salary up to the moment of it's
suspension. In short, the government be-
came q party to a wholesale confidence
game. It was in collision with a gigantic
swindle which has brought ruin to
d great number of innocent per
sons. wrecked many lives and reduced
many well-to-do families 10 poverty. Peo-
pie who do business with a national
bank depend upon the government to
protect them. These banks are all under
government supervision, and if that
supervision is vigilant and honest, no
bank can run such a career az the Key
stone policy shop ran. The bank exam
liner, Mr.. DREW, swears that President
MARSH informed him of the overissue OF
Keystone bank stock (which was pledged
with other banks &c collateral for loans)

The Tnxation of Franchises.

''The idea that tax law could operate
on franchises already granted" exclaimed
the Journal the other day, lis peculiarly
brilliant" The Journal seemed TO be la
boring under the impression that there
was no power in the state to lay taxes
upon franchises granted before such taxes
were imposed. The Journals notion was
absurd of course. The Journal is notori-
ously ignorant upon such questions, not
withstanding its great pretentions, but we
had not supposed that it, ignorance was
30 dense as to lead it to sheer at an idea"
which is so fundamental in the theory of
taxation as that which our contemporary
derisively styled brilliant" THE SEN
TINEL met the Journals sneer with
some authorities upon the question,
which silenced its critic The Journals
only rejoinder is that the brilliant idea
which moved it to sarcasm the other day
was embodied in the old tax law. We
shall have something to say in another
issue about the differences between the
new and the old laws touching the taxa
ton of franchises. Meantime few words
more on the subject of the taxation of
franchises seem to be pertinent.
The three following propositions may
be deemed elementary:
l. The state has the power to exempt
property from taxation, unless expressly
prohibited by its constitution. But, to
use the language of COOLEY. "the power to
tax being essential to the very existence
of the state, there can be no presumption
that it has been either abandoned or re-
stricted, and whoever claims that it has
been should be able to show by clear
words that an intent is expressed to 80
do" ("Cooley on Taxation" I'd ed. TO-
2. Such an exemption when made by
one legislature is not binding on a subse-
quent legislature, unless the exemption is
founded upon a contract based upon a
consideration. ("Cooley on Taxation"
I'd ed, PIP $780," "Patterson's Federal Re-
straints on State Action" 80; Cooley
Constitutional Limitations" sixth edi-
ton. PIP 337-33S.) In his work on taxa
ton, supra, COOLEY says:
The pledge (exempting from taxation),
however, in order to constitute contract,
must have the elements of a contract. and
the vital elements are consent and consid-
Grafton. Consent to the exemption on
the part OF the state is never by itself suf-
icient; but there must be something re-
ceived by the state for the relinquish-
ment, or something surrendered on the
other side which can be deemed legal
equivalent.
Again he says:
1t is perfectly well settled, however,
that an exemption granted from motives
of state policy merely, and when the state
and citizens do not meet on a basis OF
bargain and consideration, is to be deemed
expressive only OF the present will OF the
state on the subject; and the law grant
ing il. like laws in general, is subject to
modification or repeal in the legislative
discretion.
This contract, whether in the form OF a
charter or an ordinary agreement. must be

ance of this tariff:

1t will be seen that nearly 100000 I'M
migrants came 10 the United States during
the fifteen years that the Walker free
trade tariff was in force. Mr. OWEN and
the Logansport Journal say Europeans
come to the United States to live because
this country is more prosperous than
Europe, and that this prosperity is due to
republican legislation. But there was no
republican legislation before 1860. Surely
this country was then more prosperous
than European countries, or nearly four
million Europeans would not have come
here III fifteen years
The idea that republican legislation has
made the rivers run and the grass grow,
the fields bring forth great barvests and
the mines yield great store of treasure, is
exquisitely droll. 1t leaves all the natural
forces which have made this country rich
and strong out of account. 1t overlooks
entirely the advantages OF soil, climate,
natural resources, cheap land, free insti-
tutlons, popular intelligence which this
country has possessed and which insured
it glorious destiny. All these things are
ignored, and legislation taxing the people
on consumption instead of on property.
and whose only effect has been to coun-
teract, in measure, our natural advan-
tages, is held up as the cause OF all our
prosperity.

DR.. McCosH. the venerable ex-president
of Princeton. who is orthodox in the ex-
tremest old-fashioned sense of the term,
believes that we are on the eve OF lust such
a rationalistic overflow as flooded England
a century or two ago He depiores the
fact that there are hundreds of thousands
of people in our large cities who know no
more OF the gospel of Christ than do the
people in darkest Africa. The trouble, he
thinks, is in the want of united action by
all the churches. He has plan for reach
ing these people. He would have the
churches do more psrochial work. He
says "Divide up the cities into districts,
and let each church take a district. Go to
work and save souls and make Christians,
and leave denominationalism alone.
Every one is shouting for union, but when
you get down to it. it means, Join my
church," There is no doubt that DR.. Nc
Gosh has indicated one, at least, of the
causes of the decadence of the church.
The energies of Christians are expended
in denomination rivalry and meantime
great areas are left entirely uncultivated.
The suggestion of church union and a
division of territory are thoroughly prac-
teal, but there is upfortu nately not
much reason to look for their early
adoption
