ialism and the trusts. feeling that
those issues are paramount
The ex-president received a letter
from the west a short time ago asking
If he had changed his views on the
financial question. OF course his
reply was that he had not. He says
his letter of reply was industriousiy
circulated by the republican press and
its meaning had been distorted into q
support of the administration of Mr..
Mckinley. Mr.. Cleveland does not
care to have any of his political
friends put such a construction on
the letter, and makes ii clear that his
financial views were not to be taken
as support of the republican ticket
MIR Cleveland firmly declined to be
drawn into . political controversy.
He is explicit in his denial that any
statement made by him should have
given any encouragement that he is
in support of President Mckinley and
the repu blican administration.

FRANCHISE TAXATION
Arguments Therefor Made by
Chicago Teachers Before
the State Board. =
MUCH LEFT OFF OF THE DUPLICATE
a Revenue - New Sort of
Trust Alleged. n
Springfield. Ills, Oct 24.-Th

Springfield, Ills, Oct 2i.-The
committee on the capital stock of cor
porations of the state board of equali-
zation yesterday morning heard the ar
gumentS of the Chicago Teachers Fed
Grafton upon their petition to the board
to have the franchises of the Chicago
corporations listed for taxation. Argu-
ments We're made by Miss Margaret
Haley and l. T. GreenacTc. The argu-
ment in a nutshell was that the board
is under obligations to make the as
seSSment they demand. both under the
law, and under the rule of the board
which is made. by law, as binding as
the statute. Connected directly with
this. and in conformity with this stat
ute. they present rule of the board
made in 1873. and which has never yet
been changed.
Supreme Court Is with Them.
The attention of the committee Is
called to the fact that the supreme
court has held that capital stock means
all property. tangible Orintangible. The
teachers called attention to the pro-
vision of the law which requires cor
porationS to list their property for tax
alton, and then showed that the twen-
ty-three corporations named in the
complaint have neglected to place in
their schedules "the total amount of
all Indebtedness, exclusive of the in
debtednesS for current expenses, eX-
Guiding from such expenses the
amount paid for the. purchase or inn
provement of property" as directed by
the statute.
Why Franchises Should BE Taxed.
The teachers presented documents TO
proYe that in 1899 the companies of
which they complain left out of their
schedules entirely their SS4.0O0,0O0 of
bonded Indebtedness, which the stat
ute provides shall be assessed. They
clinched all this by calling attention TO
the fact that the supreme court of the
United States has held the Illinois law
good, and IN addition to that held 1T the
best revenue law ever called In QueS-
ton in that court. The teachers went
TO the principle underlying the law and
argued that whatever indicates earn
ing capacity Is what should be taxed.
They placed this argument upon the
broad principle of right that these cor
p0rationS should pay on whatever is or
value to them.
Corporations Not Represented.
No representatives of the corpora
+ions were present at the hearing. and
the matter was left open for further
consideration. \ resolution was intro
duccd before the board asking for the
apDointmcnt of committee of five To
