Tax the Insurance Companies

In considering the propriety of
imposing additional taxes upon the
life insurance companies it is plain
ly shown that these companies do
not pay their proportionate share.
1t was stated in the discussion of
the question that the assets of the
Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance
company amount to s115,000,0O0-
more than one-sixth of the assessed
value of the whole state, and the
question is raised as to why this
property should not pay taxes?
1t was incidentally shown that
during the year 1898 the interests
and rents of the company were near
ly five and one-half millions, and
nearly a million dollars more than
all claims paid during that time,
and that it has received since its
organization more in interest alone
than it has ever paid to its pohcy
holders.
The question of most vital i'm
portance before the legislature is
that of assessment and collection of
taxes. All the other bills presented
contemplate additional expense
ways and means to distribute money
"where it will do the most good"
But this one considers the way Of
getting the money to spend. There
is no doubt but that an honest effort
is being made in the legislature to
effect what is Immediately possible
to distribute more evenly the burden
of taxation. Investigation is show
ing some palpable and startling in
stances of these inequalities.
The Minneapolis Times intimates
that the Wisconsin Legislature is
derelict in it's duty and is no better
than the average because it has been
in session eight weeks and has pass
ed but four bills. But the people of
Wisconsin consider this paucity of
grist to the credit of the legislature
and the benefit Of the state. The
legislature is more proftably engag-
ed in killing off 993 per cent of the
$50 bills before it than in enacting
them into laws. There are four
more bills that possibly ought to be
passed, the rest are either palpably
useless or of doubtful utility.

547, 300. 900 BUSHELS OF WHEAT.
Last Years Yield and the Winter Acreage
OF 1900.

The statistician Of the Department
of Agriculture reports the wheat crop
of the United States for 1899 at SAT,
5000 bushels, or 1913 bushels per
acre. The production Of winter
wheat is placed at 29l, 200, 900 bush
els, and that of spring wheat at 255,-
100000 bushels. Every important
wheat-growing State has beea visited
by special agents Of the department,
and the changes in acreage are the
result of their Investigations.
The newly seeded area Of winter
wheat is estimated at 3O.l3O,OOO
acres, which is about 200, 600 acres
greater than that sown in the fall OF
1898. The sowing of wheat is still
going on in California and some OF
the Southern States, and the forego-
ing estimate is subject to correction.
The average of condition is 97.1.
The acreage sown with winter rye
is estimated at 7 per cent. less than
that of last year. The average OF
condition is 9S.2 per cent
The compilation of the annual re
turns from individual farmers is sp-
preaching completion. Any slight
changes that may be called for in the
average yield per acre of corn, oats,
barley, and other crops, as published
October 10, will be made at an early
date and the final figures will then be
available.

This is an extract from a letter
written by General Joubert from
LsdysmiIh, uuder date of October
81, toa contributor tn the Berlin
Gazette, in which it was published in
full. Copies of the paper have been
received in New York, says a dispatch
to the Baltimore Sun. Other
passages in the letter which, at this
juucture. will be read with peculiar
interest follows;
Ever since the Infamous Jameson
raid our government was convinced
that some dsreputable characters
would urge England to war
It's meaning could not be mistaken.
1t could have for its sole object the
annihilation of the Boer Republics.
ave were equally sure we would
have to depend on our own resources
for, although we knew that this war
would meet with the unanimous con
demnatlon of all European powers
we did not anticipate that any of
them would summon strength to
come to our rescue. We depended
solely on ourselves, improved our
means of defence and tried to keep
the English in tho dark as to our
real preparations. To this purpose
we gave their disguised spies access
to our sntiqusted guns and artillery,
but were careful to conceal from
them our modern artillery parks
Our calculations proved correct.
Much stress is laid on the numer
zeal superiority OF the Eogllsh, but n
my opinion the example is a different
one. England cannot send more
than S5, 900 soldiers to the Transvaal
without withdrawing sll her troops
from the colonies. This in itself is
sn imposing army, but only half OF
it will be available. Granting that
England will have effected the land
ing Of her troops by the middle OF
December, she will have lost Ia the
meantime at least 10000 through
death, casualties, desertions aud
captures. Their number would &C.
cordingly be reduced to -, 900.
"We will Try TO prevent the juno
ton of the Eogish forces under b H.
Ter. but even If We should not sue
ceed the E1gllsh would be unable 70
put more than 80 900 men in the
field against us. The rest would DO
needed for gArrisons and projections
Of the base OF operations.
THE scene of the war will cover
Natal aud Cape Colony, an area OF
say 420 square miles. IL the war
should be carried into our own coun
try, of which there are no prospects
at present, our advantage would be-
come greater. For, while facing uu-
known conditions in Natal and in
the South, we are quite able to make
use of the SPLENDID opportunities OF
defense which our own country OF
fers.
THE enemv will meet very stub
born resistance in the Trsnsvsal and
Orange Free State, and every inch
of ground will cost them dear. Most
likely We will resort to guerrilla tao
ties.
A few months will be sufficient to
show to England the lmpossibility of
the task she has undertaken. Her
losses will be tremendous"

The Pesident's Civil Service Order.

At the business session Of the Ma
tlonal Civil Service League in In
diauspols. lad last Thursday, al
the old officers were reelected, anC
resolutions which read in part as fol
lows, were adopted:
The league regards the order is
sued by the President on the 29tt
of May last, Withdrawing several
thousands places from the classified
service, and relaxing the rules in.
tended TO prevent evasions of the
law as the first unmistsksble back
ward step taken by the F,deral sd-
minstration since the civil service
law was passed. The Injurious ef
fects of this order have already been
seen in the Generalization in many
parts of the Federal service; the en-
couragement of the enemies of re-
form in their efforts to cripple the
merit system, and secure further
relaxation Of the rules, and in the
widespread dIstrust Of the promises
Of the President and party in power
to enfore; and extend the civil SER
vice law.
We also regret that the President
has not yet fulfilled the assurance
& ven by him to committee of the
league of his intention to include in
the classified service q much larger
number of places than those with
drawn, but, on the contrary, has in.
cluded none whatever. We venture
to hope that such extentions may be
made at no distant day.
The principal address at the after.
noon session was by Charles j. Bona
parte. of Baltimore, who spoke on
the "SpOils System in the Govern
mont of Dependencies"
We ask Congress to remove the
legislative restriction upon the con.
soldation Of post-ofiices, to the end
thst the department N mHV apply
the merit system to minor Offices,
wherever practicable, by making
them branches of larger Offices, and
filling them from the clerical
force therein. The withdrawal of
fourth.class postmssterships from
patronage would offer most formld-
able remaining bulwarks Of the spoils
system.
The league rejoices in the substan-
tial progress made in civil service
reform in the State of New York by
passing of an effective reform law,
and heartily commends Gov. Roose-
welt for his distinguished public SER
vice in aiding to restore the merit
system which had been seriously i'm
paired by his predecessors. The
league expresses its satisfaction al
the action of Governor Wolcott, ol
Massachusetts,, in extending the
classified service and resisting the
insldious attempt made TO cripple the
merit system in that State.
We confidently rely upon public
opinion to effect the ultimate exten.
sion of the merit system to all
branches of our national, State, and
% municipal government.
