IT seems impossible to form law Which
will compel corporations to pay thelr just
nronortion of taxes. The difficulty seems
tn Ia in the fact that honest effort on the
mart Of Legislative bodies is lacking. Al
most every seeming attempt IN this d.
rectlon is practically levy of blackmall.
The immunity which large corporations
enjoy is a source of profit to corrupt
legislators and they desire no change.
There should be some system devised
whereby railway companies Wou'G pay
tax which bears q more just ratio TO the
property they hold than at present. But
this system must be worked out with care
and in no hostile spirit. The practice
now prevalent is to denounce corpora
tions during a political campaign and
create prejudice against them. Here the
matter is allowed to rest. Hostility Is
aroused but no remedy sought for the
evils complained of. Ii any legislation Is
attempted it is for the purpose OF bleed
ing the corporations Most of the bills
are introduced so that corporations must
purchase their defeat. The person re-
eponslbe for the bill Is noisy N his dem
onstrations of devotion to the people and
Is usually accepted as their champion.
He makes it necessary for corporations
to have Hobbies. The lobby is as mucn
his instrument as it Is that of the corpor-
alton.
The tendency toward trnsts and COM
bin8tlons will withdraw property more
and more from taxation and will neces-
s8rily increase the burdens of tie Indl.
vidual property holder. There should
be an honest effort made to remedy mat
ters Public burdens should be equita-
bly, distributed. That is simple pro
position and has become trlte by repetl-
tion. But it includes the whole situation
and II reform is attempted IN accordance
with it, reform will come. The dema-
gogue who is constantly bowling against
corporations Is not the man to aid IN this
work. IL is the man who wishes to deal
justly with all interests and who is not
looking to advance his own interests by
provoking hostility.

Views OF LAKE ENGINEER.
As to captains they are we'll known
and receive all the credit and glory
which in a measure is due other off
GERS aboard ship with vast responsib-
ility, who seldom receive any credit,
and they are the engineers. His pace
has been rapid, he IS the one class OF
marine craftsmen!above all others that
has kept pace with the developments
of this fast speeding age, and stands
today the most finished artisan of the
times; the marine engineer is more i'm
portant than any deck officer, but his
Importance is as little acknowledged
by owners and non seafaring men as
his identity is concealed from the view
of those who travel in ships. Down
in the hold of the ship he controls not
only the propulsion of a modern boat
but the steering, lighting, pumping
and anchoring come under his control
If the facts were known, the eyes that
guide the ship are those of the officer
on watch but the brain that drives the
ship to its destination is the engine
er's. His is the real responsibility and
receives the least share of credit from
employers. There was time when
captains deserved all the credit and
honor bestowed upon them when wind
ma no NTH l.,
any lights and guides. Compared
with present time a captain that could
bring his ship to port and make good
time those days received none to much
credit, but those are past, never to
come again on the lakes. Yet our
captains cling to and receive that old
time honor ignoring the engineer as a
rule completely. Why the owners
are SO blind TO their own interests is
hard to understand
Where masts and sails are mere or
naments, or used for signal purpose
only, steamship of to day built of
iron and steel relying solely on steam
power, is complicated structure, and
the engineer department embraces
nearly all the ship. Who then shcu d
the owners look to when the backbone
of their business is under control of
the engineers Surely not the captain,
yet this is the case and when a loaf
makes speedy run, or makes port in
bad weather, the press laud Captain
John Doe as hero, never for a mo-
ment thinking he wolld not be missed
ard in many cases be better out of the
way. As it would be but small I'm
dertaking for CHEF engineers as a
rule to pilot and land a boat upon
fresh water if required. but almost
for the majority of deck
officers to even start modern marine
engine. The obscurity of the marine
engineer al the present time is no
'redit to owners, who III many cases
10 not permit engineers to have
Toice even In selecting coal and oil
Captain is the man. No matter what |
grade of fuel, the boat is expected to !
make time regardless of courses stear- /,
I'd or stops made outside for such |
'hings do occur. Captain gives in
MS trip sheet but engineer has no
voice IN the matter. Line boats er-
cepted he is a silent factor and what
ever report is made 1t is taken for
grsnted to be SO at the office. There
