A Glaring Mistake in the
Revenue Act.
1T CANNOT BE REMEDIED
IT CANNOT BE REMEDlED


Raleigh, y. c.. March 23.Thcre is an
evident mistake in section 50 of the
Revenue Act. which imposes 4 gradual
ed tax on the capital stock Of banks.
This section. as written in the origi
nal and ratified bill, and as printed in
the Act is as follows:
Every State bank, savings bank or
association conducting n business rs
contemplated in this section, any prl-
vate banker. every money exchange.
bond or note broker. whether operat-
ing as corporations or associations or
privately as individuals. in addition to
the nd valorem tax on their capital in
vested, shall pay annually to the state
Treasurer a tax according TO capital
employed as follows: On capital OF
$40. 900 or less. SO ana 81 for each 81. 900
of capital stock in excess of $4,000; also
SIS additional for each county in which
any of said banks, associations, bank
ers or brokers have an agency"
II is evident that it should read and
WAS go intended by those who framed
the Act:
ION u capital of SiOooo or less $25
ana " for each $l.00U OF capital in eX-
cess of $4,000.
1t Is too late. however, to remedy the
mistake. Nothing short of another
LEGISLATURE can do that. SO MI banks
with capital up to $25,o0o instead of
$1,000 will be required to pay only
So TAX.

THE most pressing demand up- on Santa Cruz county is im-
 mediate construction of the Wash iugton Pass road. Developments at Washington Camp and Du- quesne are building up over there d large and prosperous com munity which needs and must have close communication with the county seat. The board of super visors should appoint road super visor in that district and order him to begin construction of the road as soon as the county surveyor can run the necessary lines. In pay ment of the work and necessary supplies the county can issue cer- ti6cates of indebtness. Nogales merchants will accept them at their face value in payment for goods. Men would work for such certif- cates in payment of their wages and they would sarve their needs as readily as money

THE court of inquiry on the embalmed beef business will make a report admitting that some beei was Tad. but that the trouble was probably inseparable from try ing to handle fresh and canned beef in large quantities in very hot and humid climate. General Miles comes in for his share of cen sure, as do some other officers, for not reporting the difficulty at once through the proper military chan nels, instead of saying nothing until his return to the United States, and then making the matter public through the col umns of yellow journalism. The real difficulty was the mistaken effort to supply fresh beef and bread as a campaign ration Bacon and hard tack are the ideal ration for the fighting line, and it is folly to try to get anything else out there.

IN RECEIVING reprlmand for telling how Dewey crushed the German admiral with threat of war Captain Coghlan is very much like a schoolboy punished for some infraction of petty school discipline in an act which merits and receives the hearty approval of all his schoolmates. The American peo- pie are glad Coglan gave them that leaf from the unwritten history of the Manila blockade. In taking exceptions Germany failed to see that the disgraceful feature of the matter was not in Coghlan's telling of the incident but ill the German admirals course of policy which made necessary the decided lam guage used by the American ad- miral.
