Probably no amendment added 10 the
tariff bill by the Senate will give more
general satisfaction than that which
imposes tax on every certificate OF
stock and bond other than those is
sued by the Government, National,
State or Municipal. In addition TO
raising revenue to a large amount from
class who will not find it burden,
this amendment, If it remains in the
bill til it becomes a law, as it prob
ably will, ,7will drive the places known
as -t1ncket shops" out OF business be-
cause to fail TO pay the tax on each
transaction will be to acknowledge
that they do not actually sell the stock,
but merely accept bets on whether the
price will go up or down, and to make
their proprietors amendable to the
laws against gambling; to pay the tax
will bankrupt them. 1t will probably
also lessen the business done
in the legitimate stock exchanges,
because the tax will add to the
expense OF buying and selling stock for
speculation, but there are thousands
who will regard it great blessing to
the country if stock speculation as a
business was entirely broken up, 1t is
business that produces nothing use
full and adds nothing to the real
wealth of the country, while it annu-
ally demoralizes and drives to the dogs
thousands of business men who might
continue to be useful citizens If it were
not for stock specializing,

Against Carrying Firearms.

It is impossible to shoot any one un-
less we are armed, and the same holds
good as to the other fellow. 1t has
been asserted by many Of our law
makers that they desire honestly to
break up the promiecuous carrying of
firearms, and thus improve morals and
reduce crime. This subject can be
treated in many ways. and as law
breaking up the carrying OF firearms
would tend to the reduction of crime
the subject may be regarded from
moral, as we'll as a financial stand
point. We do not propose to deal
with the moral side at all, but do pro
pose to call attention to it as matter
of retrenchment in State expenses.
Almost every criminal arrested, or
tramp walking the country about, is
armed with a revolver. The more ir-
responsible man is the more sure he
IL to be armed. But too many of our
better class OF citizens indulge in car
rying firearms. We know that the
habitual carrying Of such weapons
makes towards of the carriers, and on
the slightest provocation thy draw
and fire, and then comes criminal
trial of great length possibly, and i'm
mense cost to the State. Now if our
law makers are sincere we think pistol
carrying can be broken up. Our plan
IL briefly. Require the person who
sells pistols and dirk knives to be spec
tally licensed for the purpose.
Require the person buying to get a
permit from the county court to do so.
Require every person who owns
pistol OF dirk to give it in for assess
mont.
Require list to be hung up in the
county court clerks Office OF all persons
who own such weapons.
Require the change of ownership to
be noted on this list, and no person be
allowed to purchase or trade for such
weapon without first applying to the
county court for permit.
Now as to the penalties.
prisonment at this discretion of the
court for breach of the law. The fine
IL small will be collected, and the law
will be upheld.
In addition, whenever q person is
found carrying pistol unlawfully,
that IL without license, deprive him of |
the right to vote for one year from |
conviction and order his name stricken
from the registered list of voters.
Require every owner of a pistol to
pay q good heavy tax on his weapon.
A law based on these lines will have
the desired effect, and it should be
tried,

Statesmen Wanted.
s(Communicated.)

The patriotic founders of our system
of government had proper conceptions
of the rights of men and promulgated
the true principles in relation to their
environments. With them came again
the dawn of liberty to usher in the
expansion of thought freighted with
the new developments of the sciences
and arts; introducing new factors into
the already difficult problem of gov
eminent. To this enlarged sphere of
operations which has burst upon US,
has sprung multitude Of questions as
to powers and duties which require a
Just application of the fundamental
principles OF the Bill of Rights and
Constitutional law; to the enlarged
sphere and duty of governments, State
and Federal. The turmoil and confu-
sion which has been superinduced,
threaten the peace and safety of soci
ETY. and the autonomy of the govern
ment; affecting the industries of the
whole country; producing instability
and distrust, contributing largely to
stagnation of business and enterprise.
The necessity of the times demand
wise statesmen to make an application
of fundamental principles, by code
Of laws, defining the powers and duties
of great corporations which exercise
the power of eminent domain granted
by the States within their borders for
public accommodation. And also the
rights and duties of the people in their
relation to them, so far as not prescrib
ed by their charters. 1t is not q new
government that is needed, but an
extension and application OF princi-
piles, by written law, to the new do
main OF discovery and activity. which
have brought.capital and labor into
more complex and dependent relations.

A RAILWAY MANS CONFESSIONS.

A RAILWAY MANS CONFESSIONS.
NJ. Z. Ingalls,, President of the Ches-
apeak g. Ohio and of the Big Four Ry.
systems, one of the greatest railway
managers of the West, addressed the
students of Purdue University, Lafay-
cite, Ind, last Tuesday, on the past,
present and future of our railways.
The few statistics he presented ap-
peal to the Imagination and enable
one to grasp the magnitude of the
subject-132, 77G miles OF main track,
900 miles of all track, a million and
a quarter cars in service. more than
half billion passengers. more than
hree-quarters of billion tons OF
freight moved last year, 100000 men
directly or indirectly employed, TO-,
000, 900 people, or about one-seventh OF
our population, supported out OF the
gross earnings.
Mr.. Ingalls, justly expects continu-
alton of this enormous growth and a
consequent increase of the Importance
of the railway business and therefore
of the gravity OF the problems present
ed in the deplorabl condition of rail-
way affairs.
He offers these simple and interest
ng remedies:
/. Increased security of railway
stocks and bonds, and thus increased
ownership in railways by people liv-
ing along their lines with necessarily
resultant Abatement of public hostility.
2. The railway officials themselves
must be taught to conduct their bust.
ness with care and with due respect to
the rights of the people,
3 above all, better understands
ing must be arrived at with the vast
army Of employees. They must have
a greater interest in the success of the
railways and must be part OF the
power that will produce better un
derstanding with the communities
which the railways serve. This must
be done by a system of hospitals, pen
sions and profit sharing" K.

There is going to be an effort to dis
pense with some of the state Offices.
Register OF the Land Offices, Second
Auditor, sc. If this had been intend
ed these offices should not have. been
filled, for any simpleton must know
that when the Office is filed it can
hardly be abolished. What ought to
have been done was to have withheld
electing these officers until after an eff.
fort had been made to abolish them.
IT this failed, then elect.
Mr.. Opie's proposition to rednce
the number of Elections in Virgin
la is in the right direction, and a
carefully drawn law to that eff
feet ought to be passed. There is no
reason we have ever seen why con
gresham should be elected at time
other than when the Governor and
Legislature are elected, and whilst it
may now be hard to get all this to meet
the dates of induction into office, still
q step in the right direction may be
made.
1t is claimed that the defeat OF Mr..
Lynn as Superintendent of the Peni
Tertiary insures a return to the old
law which allowed the sheriffs of the
state to take prisoners to the peniten
tiary, and that the State may expect
to pay for this service the same enor-
NOUS charges sheorce paid. We hope
this is a mistake. Should such move
ment be started it will at once cause
distrust OF the honesty of the alleged
reform and retrenchment promised us
by our present General Assembly, and
will cause q wave OF Indignation to rise
and sweep over the State. the like Of
which has not been seen ia years.

The White House.

The fact that the upper floor of the
White House has settled four inches q.
result Of the heavy pressure of Office seak-
ers during the past five months should
surprise nobody. The house is old and
was not designed for such emergencies as
modern political conditions create. Col
Bingham In his recently submitted annual
report called attention to the need of a
new office building for the President. and
expressed the hope that this necessity
would no longer be neglected. The present
quarters are inadequate in every way.
They are located too far above the street
level. to begin with. and are difficult Of
access because Of the lack of elevators
This lack the President has jokingly de-
scribed of late as a blessing, but 1t Is a
serious inconvenience to hundreds Of cIti-
zens whose business takes them to the
executive offices. The situation does not
comport with the dignity Of the office and
the present importance of the nation. But
aside from the inconvenience of location
the offices are too small. and. as shown by
the late discoveries of settlements in the
floor. are really unsafe. Large crowds are
periodically assembled on the second story
and In the light of the disclosures of the
engineers 1t Is a marvel that q serious dis.
aster has not marked the beginning Of the
administration.
A certain sentiment attached to the pres
ent structure has a tendency to cause
postponement OF q modernizing Of the
Offices. The building II historic. ana IL
would probably be q grave error to de-
strox 1t to make room for another one. But
