1t is In better shape, etc. This sub
stitute provides for taxing franchises
at the rate Of 15c on s100 valuation Of
the franchises for State purposes, 10c
on s10o for the State sinking fund
purposes and local tax in favor Of
the city, county or town wherein the
franchise is exercised. The important
question--how Is the value OF fran
chise arrived at9 This substitute pro-
vides for ascertaining the value thus;
Deduct the amount of the actual par
value OF the tangible, visible property
from the market value of the entire
stock and the difference shall be the
value Of the franchise. Let me Illus
trate: Here is street railway cor
poration. IL has 100000 OF stock
and no more. The market value Of
that stock is actually s2,5OO,OOO. The
fact that the street railway is n "boom-
ing, bounding money maker" has run
the stock up. None can be had even
at ~ times its face value. So you
place the market value of its stock at
s., 800, 900. Now turn to its visible,
tangible property and you find few
acres of ground, machine shops and
rolling stock, all worth about $780,
900. From s2,500,ooO deduct $500, 900
and you have the taxable value of the
franchise. You have s2,00o,O0O of
valuable property never before
reached by the tax-gatherer. Now
tax the visible, tangible property, just
as a farm in Audraln is taxed, at it's
assessed value and then tax that in
visible thing (2) called a franchise,
which has made the street railway
property of st. Louis worth $40, ,000,-
900, while 1t pays taxes on less than
$1o,0Oo,O0O worth of property. Is 1t
not wonderful and strange and ahame-
full, too, that an intelligent and fair
minded people will for one moment
tolerate a man or body of men, of
any party or political creed, who will
see them imposed upon by tax dodgers
OF high or low degree3 What is
needed in Missouri 10 change in the
constitution which will place our
State and county elections in odd
years. They are now In even years
and then every four years they fall in
with the national election. So we
entirely escape discussions on State
politics, State policies, State measures,
because in years of national elections
national issues overshadow State
issues. Perhaps that is well some
times, but such way of skipping over
State politics Is not well calculated to
rebound to the welfare of the people.
On Tuesday Mr.. Lees bill, requiring
all city or town franchises to be sold
to. the highest bidder, passed the
House by a good majority. Thus:
Mexico wants street railway. Her
Council fixes the terms upon which
the city viii give the right to use the
streets, etc. Then after due notice
given the city sells the franchise to
the highest bidder in lieu Of trading
with individuals on such terms as may
seem expedient to the Council.

YOUNGEST COLLEGE PRESIDENT.
John II. MacCracken to Take Charge
Of Westminster College at
Fulton, Missouri.

NEW York, April 1S.-John Henry
McCracken, son of Henry M. Mac
Oracken, chancellor Of New York
University, enjoys the distinction OF
being the youngest college president
in the United States, II not in the
world. He has for the past three
years been assistant professor of
philosophy at New York University
Professor MacOracken left last week
for Germany, where he will spend the
summer.
His father to-day received a tele-
gram from the trustees of Westmin-
ster College, Fulton, Mo-, stating that
Professor MacOracken had been
elected president OF the college at q
meeting held on Monday. Chancellor
MaoCracken at once cabled the in
formation to his son at Southampton
and then said that he had no doubt
that his son would accept the position.
Professor McCracksn has just passed
his twenty-fourth year. He was
graduated from New York University
In 1894 and stood at the head of his
class. He was awarded the Bonnet
prize in political science and the
Charles Butler fellowship in philoso-
ply. He then went to Germany to
study, but returned to this city three
years ago to accept the assistant phi
losophy professorship in the uuiver-
sity Of which his father is chancellor.
Westminster College is one of the
most important institutions OF the
Southern Presbyterian Church and
this is the first time in the history of
the church that q Northern man has
been elected president OF q Southern
college. One of the trustees OF the
college said that the object in select
ing q Northern man for the position
was to still further cement the union
Of North and South.

BEET CULTURE A FAILURE.
Experiments Show It Cannot be Made
TO Pay In Missouri.

COLUMBIA, Mo-, April 19.-Three
years. experiment with sugar beets
by Missouri agricultural experimental
station, aided by 1900 farmers in all
counties Of the State, was concluded
to-day by the issuance of . bulletin
giving the complete results OF the
work.
The result is discoursging, for the
report makes IL quite evident that
Missouri soil Is not well adapted for
beet culture. The report says that
the sugar beets raised here are of a
fine variety, but they cannot be rails
ed in sufficient quantities to insure
profit to the cultivator.
Missouri, as a sugar beet state, is e
failure and the experiment station
viii not encourage farmers to try to
get rich raising them for the market.
The raising OF sugar beets Is, there
fore, not expected to become an in
dustry In this state.

Democratic Dinners.

From mo Lexington lAIo.l News.
A move is on foot to give Jeffer-
sonian one dollar banquet in each of
Missouri's congressional districts.
The suggestion comes from the Han
nibal Journal and in approving the
same the sedalia Democrat suggests
that said banquets be held throughout
the State on the same day, naming
the Fourth of July as that day. The
idea is good one, which the Neles
most heartily approves.
