Of these foreign votea The Irish came
next to the Germans with 23,5Ts voters,
while the S1edes. Norwegians and Danes
follow. with 1888 voters. The English
voters poiied 7 .s44 votes. while the Bohe-
mians, Austrians and Poles. who can be
counted together, cast 1886 votes. The
Canadians polled 6,69s votes. the Scotch
2,535 and the Russians e.90A All other
nationalities cast less than 5000 votes.
Even Of the native-born voters only about
81 per cent. were born in Illinois, the
Others coming from the East and South.
The result of placing political power in
the hands of this foreign element has
been 70 give Chicago the most corrupt gov
eminent of any city in the world. not ex-
cepting Now York. This foreign element
elected Carter Harrison three times mayor
OF the city, and he corruptly allowed the
gamblers and liquor saloons TO govern 1t.
A spill: in the Democratic ranks prevented
Harrison's election two years ago, but he
is now running sixth time for mayor a.
the regular Democratic candidate, and he
is likely to be elected and serve as the OIL

fair.
The foreign element sometimes fails to
elect its man for mayor, but it has been
able always to elect corrupt men enough
to control the city council and nullify the
efforts of an upright mayor for good gov.
eminent. Cheap suffrage 10 the curse Of
the states Of the middle West. In many
of these states an alien can vote if he has
only declared his intentions to become .
citizen four or six months previously.
The constitution Of Minnesota. for in
stance. gives the right to vote to an immi-
grant who has been in the state four
months and declared his intentions to be-
come citizen.
The wretched Hungarian. Bohemian or
Pole who left Europe in January, 1892. and
went to Minnesota could vote for presi-
dent in the last November election. And
yet We pretend to wonder Why we have bad
municipal governments: why our cities
breed anarchists and criminals of all sorts.
Bad municipal government in America
wherever it exists is due to cheap. ignorant
and corrupt suffrage. Bad men seek Office
because it puts them in possession Of some

sEATTIE. FRIDAY. MARCH 81
srREKrRAILRoAD Consolidate.

The Denny syndicate have taken final
and important step in the direction OF
consolidation OF all the street railway
lines running north and south. The pur-
chase of the Front street and North Seat
Tie cable roads makes them practically
masters Of the situation.
They now own and operate the Third
street line, all of the lines formerly owned
by the Consolidated Railway Company
and the Front street and North Seattle
cable lines. There il now only one limo
running north and south which has not
passed under their control. That is the
West street and Ballard line.
The probabilities are that the consolida-
ton which has been effected will result In
better and more satisfactory service to
the public, while it will undoubtedly be a
source OF great profit to the men whvhave
80 successfully consummated it. Compe-
tition. as rule. Is good thing. But in
the case of street railroads, where the rate
OF fare is fixed. experience has demon
strated that the best results are attained
by bringing as many lines as possible
under one management. In TINS way con-
Meeting lines can be run in entire harmony
with the greatest possible economy.
So long as the public receive good serv-
ice they will be entirely satisfied to have
the owners Of the roads that have been
brought together reap all the rewards that
come from careful and judicious manage
ment. II Il understood that Mr.. John b.
Denny will have tho active control Of the
business interests of the consolidated
roads. while d. Thomas Denny will su.
perintend the mechanical department.
The consolidated company may therefore
be regarded as essential y Seattle enter.

The Farquhar tax bill, now pending in
the New York Legislature, is q note worthy
measure, for if it becomes q law the rails
ing Of revenue from taxation on real
estate, as far as the state government 10
dependent upon 1t for support. will be
practically done away with in New York.
1t costs six millions of dollars annually to
pay the whole expenses of the state Of
New York, not great burden for q
wealthy state of six millions and half
inhabitants.
Hitherto il has been customary to i'm
pose uniform rate Of tax upon real and
personal property assessed within each
county. That rate was 2.96 in 1885, 2.95 in
1886. 20 in 1887. 262 in 1883 and 3.52 in
1885, The state tax vas first reduced to
l.37 in 1901, tho lowest rate in thirty-five
years; it was LOS in 1892 It will be fur
ther reduced to merely nominal charge
under the present system of shifting the
burden of taxes wholly from the land, to
the great relief of the farmers. In 1887
the state taxes. chiefly on real estate, were
S. SOC, 600, and the other taxes, not on real
estate, were So. 100000 Last year the chief
sources of state revenue were these:
Collateral inheritance ,7s6, 900
Corporation taxes..... 1896 900
Fees OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. $4,000

TOTAL ....--....."........... ,59S, COO
This method Of taxation aims to relieve
real estate Of all tax burdens, except for
local purposes, and to provide for the
needs Of the state by taxes on legacies and
corporations. Mr.. Farquhar's bill pro-
poses to extend further this system Of
raising state revenue from franchise, cor
porntion and testamentary taxes. Among
other things proposed by the new law is
the taxation of savings bank deposits in
