THE MAYOR FOR RAPID TRANSIT.

Something has been gained by the Mayors
nositive and rather unexpected declaration TO
n delegation of citizens who called upon him
Yesterday that underground roads VIII GER
tainly be built by the city. and that the work
Will be begun before he goes out or ONCE
The city is not yet in a position ne saln 10
start the undertaking. but IL Will be so soon
as the constitutional amendment separating the
city and county debts has been ratined oy the
people They will vote on that proposition next
November. and II Is virtually certain that tney
will approve it. so that taken at It's lace vaine'
the Mayors statement means that all the
Obstacles which have INSTRUCTED the RAPID
Transit scheme so long, and Of which the nos
tilty Of Tammany has been the most for
midable will all be out of the way by the end
of the year Whether not 1t IL really safe
TO conclude that the municipal administration
will hereafter cooperate with the existing
Ra Did Transit Commission remains 10 be seen.
Doubtless Tammany hopes to control the next
LEGISLATURE and would rejoice TO he able to turn
out rhe present commissioners and replace them
with men of IT'S own choosing but happily there
Is not much danger Of such calamity, espe-
cIaly since the Governor even if scheme Of
that sort should get through the Legislature
would have tho last word on the subject
1t Is possible also that when the Mayor as
sures his visitors that underground roads Will
be In process of construction before the end OF
his term he is assuming that the East River
Tunnel bill can be utilized for the purpose by
the city government in entire independence or
the Rapid Transit Commission. II that Is
the Tammany expectation we are strongly
inclined to think 1t will be rudely disappointed.
At all events there is no immediate cause for
anxiety on that account. The fact OF present
interest and importance is that the Mayor has
publicly adopted the view that the city Will
soon be financially able to undertake the work,
that It ought to do so, and, in his opinion, Will
do so In the near future.

THE PRINCE AND THE AEERICA's CUP.


1t is announced that the Prince Of Wales and
his brother, the Duke of Saxe-Coburg ana
Gotha. will have a private view OF the Sham-
rock before she is launched. and 1t is also
remarked that Sir Thomas Upton has been
the guest of the Prince at Sandringham ms
week. There can therefore be no further doubt
that the Prince is interested in Sir Thomas
venture I'm the sportsman's world and intends
TO show every one that he personally accepts
Sir Thomas as a representative yachtsman and
as one entitled to uphold the yachting prestige
of England.
These facts mean good deal for the yachts
men Of America. The Prince of Wales has for
many years been accepted as the leading yachts
man of England. not only because of his social
rank, but because he is a skilled hand on
boat and always works on board in n way that
calls forth friendly feelings In every practical
yachtsman who sees him. He not only leads
in the most aristocratic club but also In the
Yacht Racing Association, which gathers In
the amateurs Of the United Kingdom. His an
nounced friendliness with Sir Thomas Upton
is therefore mild rebuke to those who think
that Lord Dunraven's procedure. whether right
or wrong should still receive patent approval
On this point The Tribune has never said that
Lord DUDraven was consciously lncOrTtct WHth
suggesting that the Defender was ballasted at
the wrong time On the contrary, The Tr1b-
une on grounds OF exceptional authority, came
TO the conclusion that he was honestly mis-

ASSESSING FRANCHISES.

Governor Roosevelt is evidently considering
proposed amendments to the Ford bill with
an open mind and firm determination not to
be overreached Several drafts Of measures
have been supposed more or less accurately
tn embody his ideas. but he declares that he is
not committed to any one of them. If the
corporations think they would be more sure or
fair treatment from a central board Of assess
ment he Is willing and apparently anxious
tn accommodate them. He is giving careful
consideration TO their claims for deduction from
the Tux Of what they pay In the way Of rental
charges for their franchises. He Is inSstent
that franchises shall In any new bill be taxed
as real estate and that no tax on earnings
shall be substituted. Thus he exhibits a dis
position Of the greatest liberality and fairness
combined with sturdy defence Of effective
franchise taxation.
The Governor Is entirely right In refusing 10
abandon the principle Of the Ford bill Taxa
ton of gross earnings would operate most I'M
Justly on the small corporations whose outlay
is large in comparison TO receipts. Under such
a system the least valuable franchises-that Ia.
those bringing In the smallest business In pro-
portion 10 the cost Of the operating plant
might pay the highest tax. The reasonable
value Of the franchise is the thing to be taxed,
and Il makes really little difference whether
that value once determined Is entered In the
real estate or the personally column Of the
tax books. The tax rate for both is the same.
II Is said to be a legal fiction to consider such
intangible property as real estate. but there are
good precedents for so considering It. Years ago
Judge Selden declared of a franchise granted
by the Common Council Of this city: 1T
amounted TO an immediate grant Of an interest,
"and II would seem Of a freehold, in the soil
"of the street 10 the defendant The rails
~whep laid, would become a part OF the real es
state. and the exclusive right to maintain them
"perpetually is vested in the defendant
"The title to the rails when permanently at
..tached TO the land. and such right In the LAND
"as may be requisite 10 their perpetual main
"tenance are therefore granted" The Court oil
Appeals has again and again held that the iran
chlse was inseparable from the real estate
that 1t could be bought and sold like real estate
that as In the Broadway Surface Railroad
case even when 1t was obtained by fraud. and
the corporation charter was revoked. yet the
franchise itself was property which could not
be- forfeited and was an asset Of the receiver OF
the dissolved corporation. To regard the value
of that freehold" In the street as subject 10
taxation as real estate does no violence TO com
mon sense and works no hardship on the
owners.
They say It duplicates the taxes Of some OF
them because they pay the city for their rights
and they ask the Governor to have such pay
pent deducted from the franchise tax. Such
