An INTERESTING SUGGESTION.

The Franchise Tax bill in its present form
taxes the right" to construct and operate rail-
roads, telephone lines and the like.
The Brooklyn railroads have the right TO
construct and operate about three hundred miles
of single-track road in addition to those now
running through the streets of the city.
Would these franchises be taxed? II so. the
companies would be in the rather unpleasant
position Of paying for the right to run their
lines through streets in which they have not
foot Of track.
They might then decide that II they had to
pay taxes on these streets they might as well
build the railroads.
If this were so, the residents OF the outer
wards would rise up and bless the name Of Ford.
-(The Brooklyn Eagle.
Why not? These rights are property. They
are exclusive. They shut out any other com
pany from engaging in an enterprise in those
same streets When a corporation acquires
rights and simply holds them unused against
other possible users It acts the dog in the man
ger after fashion that quite reconclles the
average citizen to seeing 1t pay taxes on the
property so sequestered.
A public franchise carries with it the moral
If not the legal obligation TO operate under It..
1t is not granted to be held for future specula-
ton. and It is contrary to public policy that
any encouragement should be given to the ex-
istcnce Of unimproved franchises, which are
future disposition by the public OF its own
property. 1t is n favorite trick OF q certain
class Of promoters to secure concessions for
railroad lines In places where there Is no need
Of them. and then to camp down, and after
denying the district transportation facilities for
years take toll Of 1t when it has become well
populated. These same spectators fond OF
banketng streets which others want to use
| with their claims and Matchmaking public and
| private projects So long as these unused
! franchises cost nothing to hold It Is safe and
profitable style Of highway robbery. When the
rights so held are taxed at their selling value
there will be less temptation to grab fran
chises for illegtlmate purposes.
| II may be said that these franchises are Otter
acquired with the idea Of completing an ex
| listing system. Sometimes that Is the case, bu
| even then there is no reason to encourage III,
mortgaging of streets In favor Of the futur,
| plans Of q corporation. When the time come.
| for carrying out these plans II Is time enough
| 10 grant them, or II II is of such importance 4
| n company to have the right Of way Of III
| completed system assured, then II Is worth II
| while to pay taxes on the fair value of IN,
| public property so held at Its command. Th
property is not mere right In the sense o

cupied. 1t is what Judge Selden called al

THE ANTI PARTY

The parting of the ways has been reached.
There is scarcely any chance that Democratic
Convention within the coming two years will re-
woke the decision made by the Informal confer
ence at 81. Louis The party will 90 into the
battle Of next year with Anti-Trusts Anti-Im-
perialsm and Anti-Gold inscribed on it's ban
ners. 1t is the teaching of history that no Ants
ever succeeded. The Republican party came
10 power by substituting positive declarations
for National protection Of industries in place of
Anti-Slavery and Anti-much else. The Demo
cratic party has thus far sought for its positive
purpose In vain. Men who like may call this
empty philosopRism. But the Anglo Saxon race
never puts men into power who have no positive
remedy to propose for an existing or alleged
evil
When the silver question was thrust to the
front 1t was positive force. 1t offered rem
edy. stupid and senseless but still supposed
remedy. for evils said 10 exist. Shunting silver

than many now realize. Absolutely the only
positive force In the Democratic campaign Of
1896 was the aggressive body Of silver men. who
wanted the universe taxed TO enrich the little
oligorchy of silver-mine owners Times have
changed, Western dstresses have vanished, the
pretcnce that monetary errors have made hard
times has become ridiculous, and the silver lssus
has 70 walt. So there comes instead party
with an Anti platform. 1t denounces freely. but

pansIon. bit cannot suggest n thing at which

1t is sGfc to begin the campaign with the con
viction that an Anti party will he laughed and

the Philippine Islands. 4 respectable plar

thing has no popular answer but laugh and q
