Boatner Would Have Uncle
Sam Take Control and
Settle Up.
REILLY BILL SUBSTITUTE,
And One That Is Said to Have
a Good Chance Of
Passing.
CAMINETTI HAS A BILL.
He Would Put the Pacific
Roads Under Military
Control.

WASHINGTON, Jan. ga substitute
for the Reilly Pacific railroad bill has
been introduced in the house bv Repre-
sentative Boatner, of Louisiana. the
member of the committee on Pacific
railways who made the minority report
against the Reilly bill. The bill will
provide for Pacific railroad commits
sion to take charge of the governments
aided roads when they default in the
payment of their debts, and to control
them as representatives. of government
until comprehensive plan can be
adopted by congress for settling the re-
latlons OF the company with the govern
ment. The commission is to consist of
three members, who will receive sala-.
RES of $4,000, and to be given the pow
erS OF management usually exercised by
railroad directors. Another feature of
the plan is to authorize the commission
to investigate all the dealings of the
subsidized roads to ascertain whether
they have unlawfully obtained moneys
from the government or uulawfully
disposed of any funds. and to recon-
mend plan for securing restitution to
the government of diverted funds. If
they find that any have been diverted
the secretary of the treasury is author-
lied to put the road in the hands OF the
commissioners. Two of the commission
ers are to reside west of the Mississippi
river. Their investigation is to cover
these points: How much, if any, OF the
capital stock of any company was is,
sued
Contrary to the Law,
and the names of persons or corpora
tons receiving it; how much was is
sued for cases and how much for serv-
ices. To what extent contracts for
construction have been awarded to
companies or individuals representing
officers or directors Of the road; to what
extent land grants have been diverted
from their original purposes: to what
extent property has been conveyed to
persons representing the officers; to
what extent the funds have been used
to influence legislation with details of
the transaction. Stringent provisions
to insure the prosecution of these inves-
legations are made. and the commits
siOners are authorized to institute suits
in the name of the United States
against persons who have been guilty
of frauds of any sort in connection with
these affairs. Provisions are made for
the sales of the roads after the suits
have been decided and their affairs adj
justed. A canvass of members known
to oppose the keilly bill is being made
to induce them, if possible. to unite
upon this scheme. which is in the nature
Of compromise between the Reilly bill
and the various foreclosures and gov
eminent control and ownership. Rep
resentative Caminetti, of California, who
has a bill to place the Pacific roads I'M
der military control, says that he is
willing to accept this plan, if 1t can
command the support of fair contin-
gent of the house, and he believed that
the other California members are of
the same mind

few men is it given to be able to see
with so clear an eye the one crying
want of our wantitudinous days. 1t
is also given to very few men to
stand, as Senator Roverud does, six
feet and four inches in his stockings.
The senator is therefore unique
both in his stature and his states
manship. While Debs is crying for
legislation in the interest of labor
and Mr.. Donnelly is certain that the
country is going to the demnition
boW-woWS because his cryptogram-
mic solution of economic problems is
not accepted, and Democrats and
Republicans are all split up as to
the proper remedy to apply to our
financial condition, each and all are
certain that theirs is the only i'll and
sole remedy. Senator Roverud per-
ceives that the cause of all of these
troubles is the want of deputy re-
corders in villages, and, logically,
their cure is in the provision
of these subordinate officers. The
Argus should reverse it's telescope

THE CASE of PHILADELPHIA.

We have frequently referred to
municipalities taxes are levied ana
collected by direct taxation which
exceed many times the amount OF
the tax derived by customs, and that
the former are levied and collected
without any disturbance or aglta-

The letter of ex-Gov. Pattison, ac-
cepting his nomination as Demo-
cratic candidate for mayor of Phila-
delphia, in pointing out the abuses
which have crept into the admins
tration of affairs in that city, men
tons the increase in the annual eX-
penditureS, and states that those
for the year 1894 were over $50, 0OO,-
600, or an average per capita Of
$3.50. The average of customs re
ceived per capita is not to exceed
SO per annum, and will not in the
future probably exceed $3.50. That is
to say, if customs were abolished
and the revenue heretofore derived
from them were apportioned among
the states on the basis of their popu-
lation, there would be levied upon
Philadelphia property sum equal
to So so for each head of its popula-
ton, an amount that would hardly
be perceptible when added to the
$3.50 per capita collected now by
direct methods.
While this enormous taxation may
we'll give rise to political agitation
looking to it's reduction, we do not
find anywhere any evidence that
the dissatisfaction with it has a rise
in any industrial source. While
$3.50 per capita was being levied and
collected we heard nothing of
business depression or agitation
there, or Of any industry stacking
or stopping, or Of workingmen idle.
This is the one comparison out of
thousands that could be instituted
over the country showing what a
veritable bugbear is this fear of the
