The California state railroad COM
mission has decided to make one last
effort to regulate the freight and pas
senger business of the roads doing
business in this state. The members
of the commission say that If this at
tempt should prove futile, there is no
reason why they should continue to
exist as a body, as they would be a
commission only in name. The reso-
luton adopted by the commission re-
quires the officers of the Southern Pa
cific company and all it's leased lines to
appear before the board of railroad
commissioners, May IL. Under this re-
solution all the roads operating in Cal
ifornia will be obliged to appear and
give such evidence as the commission
requires. The entire maintenance and
construction Of the railroads will be
80 investigated as to enable the COM
mission to decide whether the present
rate tariff can be reduced, while at the
same time complying with the provis-
ions Of the law which allows corpora
tions a fair interest on their invest
ment.

1t is given out that the Argonaut

will be that American ships will soon

course that has been taken shortly be-

years. The precedents do not warrant

One remedy for the lodging of taxes
on personal property suggested by Gen
erai Harrison Is entitled to something
more than casual consideration. 1t is
that a meeting Of the tax commission
ers of a considerable number of States
be held, to consult as to some plan for
the taxation Of personal property that
will secure uniform system. One of
the embarrassments at the present time
Is that when State undertakes to
adopt a plan which will increase the
taxation of certain classes Of property,
1t becomes serious loser by the re-
moval of those who are taxed under
such a system. New Jersey Is said to
be the paradise of New York tax dodg-
ers. Ohio is said to have lost a num-
ber of wealthy citizens because the
State undertook to tax them. One was
so incensed, not long ago, that he dis
posed Of all his property In Ohio and
left the State in something of a huff.
Tax commissioners, like insurance and
labor commissioners, could meet, con-
slider plans and finally adopt some one
of them. This plan they could recon-
mend to the Legislatures Of the States
represented, and thereby uniform sys-
tenn for more adequate taxation could
be secured. Taxation is not one of the
topics which the people generally dis
cuss. They complain of local taxation,
but when the topic is discussed 1t Is
Federal taxation, usually the taxation
Of the poor to pay for bonds. This may
be important, but, compared with local
taxation, 1t is inconsequential. The
agitation of the topics which General
Harrison has brought to the front In
neighborhoods, in village or township
meetings for the purpose would call
public attention to the injustice in a
manner which could not fail to be gen.
orally beneficial.

MISS BARTON'S PLANS.

The steamship Olivette which ar
rived from Havana brought ESQ refug-
ees from Cuba, also Miss Clara Barton,
president of the Red Cross society, and
her staff. Miss Barton said:
''It is the duty of the Red Cross So
ciety to follow in the wake of the army
rather than to lead it, and wherever
duty calls there you will find us. In the
present instance we simply deemed
dissection the better part of valor. The
original treaty of Geneva only provides
for relief in war. The extension of the
provisions of the treaty to include
other great disasters was a special con-
cession made to the American Red
Cross society upon it's accession to the
treaty and known as the American
amendment.
"The singular coincidence now pre-
sents itself of both provisions Of the
treaty being called into action in the
same field. The Red Cross society has
distributed the food sent by the people
of America to suffering reconcentra-
does as long as such action was admis-
sable. Now that war Is imminent and
our guns are prepared to sweep the is
land it becomes the duty of the Red
Cross society to retire from the threat
ened field and place itself in position
behind the guns and wait"
One of the most interesting features
of the International Health Exposition
to be held in New York next May is to
be an educational exhibit planned by
the trained nurses of that city. It will
be modelled on lines suggested by DR..
Stephen Smith and DR.. Alfred Meyer at
a meeting Of the nurses held last Fri
day.
The encouragement of Ohio and
the investigating taxation committee
have uncovered iron ore on the docks
in Cleveland valued at $3,0O0,OOO, with
out claimants. 1t is thought the threat
of the attorney-general to have the
confscated to the state will
develop owners and cause sensation.
The chainless wheel has encouraged
makers in the direction of turning out
heavier wheels Low prices have con-
spired to increase this tendency, as
light wheels can not be made cheaply.
Not only wheels, but saddles and tires
are heavier this year.

The Introduction Of bills for the re-
moval Of the charge of desertion from
men who enlisted In the armies of the
Union In our great war, and who failed
to put In an appearance when their
commands were mustered out, has been
going on for a third of century. Ii
Is the general opinion of honorably dis
charged soldiers that this thing has
gone far enough. They assert, and
they know something about the mat
ter, that most of these deserters are
men who enlisted for bounties and got
out at the first opportunity.

The conclusion Is forced upon us that
the builders of warships might collab-
crate with the architects of the great
commerce carriers and combine speed
with safety. The agents Of the Atlantic
liners never lose much sleep when one
Of the ships is overdue. They admit
that her machinery may be broken, but
experience has taught them that her
chances are good for making port, des-
pite the handicap. Our great warships
founder about In calm harbors, strike
a sandbar or an Insignificant tug and
promptly go into dry dock for repairs
costing thousands Of dollars. There Ia
q lesson in this for somebody, possibly
the builder Of modern battle-ships.

The great isothermal line Of baked

There has not yet been any rumor Of

the promotion of canned beans In Alas
ka, but it would be good neighborly
act. Every family In Boston could give

The bull killed the lions one after the

The Manchus accuses them of selling

A special says the pope will remain

line were cabled to Cuban bishops.
AS the result of long and import

A million bobolinksD killed last year!
Four million other birds slaughtered in
the same year-and for what? That
their torn and distorted bodies might be
Haunted in the headgear Of American
womankind! There are no guess-work
figures, but the official report Of the Au-
dubon Society Of Massachusetts,. And
what does 1t mean? 1t means Ave mill
ion voices stilled In Natures avian
choir. Five million flashes of cheeri-
ness and gladness taken from human
life; and millions of other young lives
doomed to starvation or prey In order
that the plumaged corpse Of the MUIR
dered mother bird may be rent by
milliner and jammed in hideous shape
lessness In milady's hat! All, milady,
Is there no efficacy in these desolating
figures? Is there no mercy IN your
heart, no conscience in your makeup,
no sentiment in your soul? Can you
enjoy the finest opera when you think
that the killing of the birds with which
you and your sisters are crowning your
beauty Is gradually sileneing the grand
oratorio of the forest and the fields? A
birdless country! A voiceless forest!
What desolation 1t would be! And
yet that is just what this country Is
coming to II the song birds Of our land
are to be killed off at the rate OF FIVE
millions year in order to crafty FEM
mime vanity and keep woman ''in
STYLE" What a grewsome, hidcous,
conscienceless ''style" 1t Is that muir
ders melody and silences the lark that
sings from Heavens gate!
