A Reform That Should Be Made.

There is an impression in financial and
railroad circles in. New York that the
system which prevails in Great Britain
of having the accounts of railroad and
other corporations periodically examined
by professional accountants who are not
connected with the corporations, ana
their findings published, will be adopted
in this country. The revelations made
by Mr.. Little, an expert accountant, of
the financial affairs of the Atchison, To-
peka and Santa F'e system, are startling
to the holders of the securities of the
system. He found that for nearly four
years the earnings had been alleged to be
nearly - 900, 600 a year larger than
they actually were This statement misled
the public and many people invested in
the securities because. from the published
statement of the earnings and expenses,
they thought the investment good one.
Suits have been begun against Mr. Rein
hart. who resigned the presidency of the
road few days ago, by persons who had
invested in the company's stocks and
bonds because his reports showed it to be
solvent and making money. No doubt
there are hundreds of holders of the secu-
rites who were influenced TO buy the
company's stocks and bonds by the re-
ports of the company's condition.
1t is a question, of course, whether any
thing can be recovered from the ex-presi-
dent of the road, but the effect of such
suits will be to bring about such a reform
in the management of the financial
affairs of railroads that it will be possible
for the people to know just what the fin
ancial condition of company is.
A reform of the kind indicated would
be on the line of suggestion made by
the MORNING News couple of months
ago. The accounts of every railroad
should be examined at least twice year
by an expert accountant, and the result
of his work given to the public, Persons
who purchase railroad securities would
then have the means of knowing the
actual cash value of the securities of each
road
This method of keeping the public in
formed as to the net earnings and liabili-
ties of railroads would prevent railroad
wrecking and pernicious railroad man
| agement, and strengthen confidence in rail
road stocks ana bonds. State and federal
laws should be so amended as to compel
railroads to submit periodically to having
| their financial condition made known to
| the pubic.

Sugar was Not Free.

/ AS expected the republican papers are
. asserting that under the Mckinley tariff
e the people have free sugar. and that IN
der the tariff the Democratic party has
adopted. sugar is taxed, and the price Of
. it to the consumer will be higher.
Sugar. under the Mckinley tariff, is
not free. 1t is taxed for the benefit Of
( the sugar trust 6-l0 of a cent per pound,
all Of which goes into the treasury
of the sugar trust. The Mckinley tariff
also gives a bounty of . cents per pound
to the sugar producers, which takes SIP
100000 a year out Of the public treasury.
In other words the Mckinley tariff taxes
the people SIS. 600, 900 year for the bene-
fit of the sugar trust, and. Sl2.OO0,0OO a
year for the benefit of the sugar planters.
1t cannot therefore be said that the Nc
Kinley tariff gives free sugar.
Tho tariff the democrats nave adopted
putsa duty of 40per cent. ad valorem on
sugar, and gives the sugar trust pro-
lection TO the extent Of Is Of a cent a
pound. The 40 per cent. duty will put
into the treasury something like $4,000
600 a year, 10 gives the trust more pro-
lection than the trust ought to have, but
not so much as it has under the Mckinley
tariff. --.---
The republicans may deceive a few peo-
pie by claiming that their party gave the
country free sugar, but the majority IN
derstand that the claim has no foundation.
The Mckinley tariff takes S37, 100000 a
year from the people and gives it to the
sugar trust and the sugar producers. The
democratic tariff takes something more
than that amount from the people, but
the most of what it takes goes back to
them-that is, it goes into the public
treasury.
