The Northern Pacifc's Annual
Statement
WILL PROVE A SURPRISE
Prospects Good for a Continuance OF
High Earnings-The Question OF
Dividends-The Brown System
OF Discipline.

The Northern Pacihc's annual state
nent will be issued in a few weeks and
II is promised that It Will prove a sur
prise. A prominent official is quoted
on the subject as follows:
We think IT can be said that II Will
surpass eve the most sanguine expect
atoms that have been formed with re-
gard to IT, Our Information is that the
earnings OF the company owe and
above all fixed charges and full divi-
cends on the preferred stock during the
last rear were equal to no less than 4
Per cent. or the common stock. assum-
ing operating expenses to be charged
emily with the proper amount Of renew

Cd against the fund provided for tbs
purpose In the reorganization. No
doubt q great quantity Of improve
ments and bstterments will have been
charged against operating
and income I'm the report. but we un-
derstand that even were every item OF
expense incurrerd by the company dur
tng the year, except that for construc-
ton of absolutely new lines, to be
charged against operating expenses and
iDCOAllNs lutTt Woulu sun De ItII some
thing hke 2 per cent. on the common
stock.
Furthermore. the prospect for a con-
tinuance OF these earnings this year is
unusually good. The entire wheat CROP
In the company's territory will be abso-
lutely safe within ten days. and our in
formation is that Is promises to provide
something like so per cent. more wheat
tonnage than last year. There is moth
ing TO prevent the company exceeding
last years results In the fiscal year Just
begun.
The question OF dividends on the
common stock naturally suggests itself
In view of these facts. We understand
that no dividend will be declared on
this stock this fall. but while II is not
safe to be too positive as TO the future,
we think that the matter OF dividends
on the common stock is likely TO. come
up for consideration before next spring.
II can be said. at all events, without
fear OF contradiction hat the common
stock is much closer 10 dividends now
than the preferred stock was eighteen
months age so far as earnings are con-
cerned.
The Northern Pacific annual report
will be notable in a number Of ways.
but especially In hat II will show the
operations Of a company efficiently
worked and maintained for less than
fifty per cent. OF the gross earnings,
excluding taxes. In some respects, es-

In an argument made on Thursday before
the House Committee on Manufactures.
Mr.. Bland. of Portsmouth. said the cities
and towns OF Virginia pay into the state
Treasury two and half times as much
revenue az the counties.
We knew before that the bulk OF the
States revenue came from the urban,
not from the rural, communities; but, we
did not know what the proportion was.
The fact stated by Mr.. Bland is i'm
portant. and should be kept before the
people. especially when the Legislature
is considering the matter Of additional
subjectS Of taxation.
our State ought so to legsate as to
encourage the growth of its cities. The
larger our cities and towns become the
greater the portion Of the public bur
dens they will be able TO shoulder.
But perhaps it may be said that
the chief part of the wealth of
the Virginia cities comes out Of
the Virginia farmers. There could
not be a greater fallacy. At least three
or four Of our cities derive the bulk of
their business from other States than
Virginia. And there are cities outside of
Virginia that get more Virginia patron
age than does any Virginia city. Fur
thermore. our merchants have to bear
heavy license-taxes while competing in
trade with merchants from other States
who pay no licenses at all!
The head of certain wholesale-house
in Virginia stated not long ago that the
taxes paid by him were greater than the
taxes paid by any competitor of his in
the United States, and this, too. while
some of his competitors do ten times
as much business as he does.
Not all of the members of the Legisla-
ture know these things. and more's the
pity The fixed policy of Virginia ought
to be to build up her towns and cities by
wise and liberal laws. The result of
such a course could not but be beneficial |
to the farmers. 1t would not only give |
hem better markets for their produce |
han they now have, but would tighten |
heir own share of taxation

Mr.. Bernard Chalkley. the young man
who was 30 painfully injured while at

and almost unnerved with shock.
He had him removed TO his home, on

RELIEF FOR ATLANTA.

Atlanta Ca, Is in throes of agony
over the flirting problem, and cries aloud
for relief. According to dispatch from
that city, the community is overrun with
"firtatious" young men. and the authori-
ties are utterly powerless to cope with
the evil.
We hope we will not be charged with
attempting to "trade" upon the woes of
a sister city II we make a suggestion in
the premises. There is floating around
in one Of our legislative committees an
anti-fiirtation bill, which Atlanta might
acquire for mere song. Though some
what battered, and doomed, it seems, to
take its place with other legislative junk.
the bill is really, for all practical pur-
poses. as good as new. and doubtless
could be made to serve admirably the pur-
poses of little city like Atlanta.
Our willingness to dispose of it is ex-
planned by the fact that after it was
sent back to the committee shop to be
repaired and remodelled, an entirely
new and improved bill was offered for
our consideration.
