CONDITIONS AND CAUSES.

Complaints come from the stock and
speculative markets that values are
shrinking. and, generally, that markets
are not as they should be OF as those
who deal in them would have them.
There has been decline OF prices rather
than a shrinking of values. This is to
be expected in stocks and alleged prop
critics which do not afford regular divi-
dends. There are seasons when the
prices of such really artificial properties
decline. and such decline is not evidence
or forerunner of an unfavorable turn in
business. Then, class of stocks which
are called industrials are shrinking.
Some of these are called trusts. and.
year in and year out, trusts are not
prosperous. The conditions do not favor
industrial enterprises at the present

TAKING ROYALTIES.

AT this time, when State and local
governments are on the alert for new
sources of revenue, the question of tax
ing royalties deserves consideration.
BY royalties in this connection is meant
those charges upon the products of min
eral deposits which are paid by the
operators to the mine owners for the
privilege of working them. Lessees or
operators who pay a royalty to the
owner of mineral producing lands add
the sum paid to the cost of production.
and it is finally paid by the consumers.
The term royalty has its origin in the
fact that originally the title of all mines
was held to DO in the state, and the
price for the privilege of working them
was paid to the king, who thus asserted
his royal ownership. 1t is by no means
certain that society would not be the
gamer to-day if the ownership of all
mines and mineral products of whatever
character vested in the state instead
of in private companies. corporations.
syndicates or individuals. If the United
States had in the beginning adopted the
rule that the sale of public lands should
only carry q title to the surface and that
all mines and mineral products should
continue to be the property of the gov
eminent, it's royalties from this source
would have yielded an enormous reve-
hue. Suppose that the State of Indiana
had acquired from the general govern
ment the ownership of all minerals and
mineral products found within its linn
its. and had never parted with the right.
To-day it would enjoy a princely income
from royalties. In disposing of its pub
lie lands. often ut ridiculously low
price even for the surface acreage, the
government has parted with uncouDted
millions In mineral wealth only to en-
rich greedy corporations. wealthy SYM
dicates and rapacious landlords. All
this. however. is speculation on what
might have been. That which is done
cannot be undone.
Recurring to the question of taxing
royalties, there are four mineral products
in this State which already yield consid-
cradle in the way of royalties to those
who own the lands from which they are
produced. These are coal, oil, natural
gas and stone. All of these industries
are growing, and some of them will be
much more important in the future than
they are at present. The Standard OIL
Company has leased large amount of
oil lands and is paying royalties on its
products. The same is true of the
natural-gas companies, and to some ex-
tent of coal-mining and stone quarrying
companies. The amount thus paid in
royalties is considerable. and will in
crease from year to year. 1t is worth
while for the State Board of Tax Com
missioners to see if it cannot be reached
for taxation.

Washington from Chicago he fastened

in his absence that particular part of the

that his presence was not essential to the
