Gov. Roosevelt of New York made
some sensible statements in his recent
message, on the question of taxation.
He said that 1.-THE whole problem of
taxation is now, as it has been at
almost all times and in almost all
places, one of extreme difficulty. 1t
has become more and more evident in
recent years that existing methods OF
taxation, which worked we'll enough
in simpler state Of society, are not
adequate to secure justice when APP
piled To the conditions of our complex
and ,ghly specialized modern indus
trial Development At present the
real estate owner is certainly bearing
an excessive proportion of the tax
burden. Men who have made a spe-
cial study of the theory of taxation
and men who have had long experience
in its practical application are alike in
conflict among themselves as to tine
best general system. Absolute equal.
ity, absolute justice in matters of taxa
tion will probably never be realized
but we can approximate it much more
closely than at present."

1t was not the intention of the BAN
NER last week in reprinting an article
from the Michigan Tradesman to in
any way reflect upon the integrity OF
attorney H l.. VanBenschoten although
some think the Tradesman article was
so intended. This weeks issue OF that
publication has an article from Mr..
VauBenschoten over his signature
from which we quote not having space
for the whole. He says: San article
in the Michigan Tradesman of .Ianu-
airy 18th, relative to the Injunction
served upon me, is rather misleading
In the first place, never met the firm

Booth, until few days before the
mortgage was executed. have only
had slight acquaintance with their
father, who has managed the Belding
store, and never have been employed
by him or by or for any of them. A
few days before the mortgage was
given, the Booths came to me and said
they were hopelessly involved, and
wished to turn their two stocks oil
goods over to their creditors. sug-
gested a trust mortgage and asked
them If they had any one whom they
preferred to act as trustee. They re-
piled that their only concern was that
the creditors should be honestly dealt
with, and that any good man would be
acceptable to them. | then obtained
permission to act in that capacity.

For the first time in the history of
the country, our foreign trade last
year, exceeded $1,000, 100000 the exact
figures being S2,O75, 32l POI. The i'm
ports amounted to 5799, S34, $40, and the
exports, 81 ,275, 6,64l. The most in
teresting and significant feature OF the
situation is to be found in the growth
OF the percentage of manufactured
goods included in this enormous out
flow OF American articles. Thirty
years ago our exports OF manufactured
articles we're only about IA per cent.
in a total of 1897 ,375,9S In 50 the
percentage had grown to 20, and in
the past year it reached the important
proportion OF 30 per cent.

In the canvass of nearly 5000 facto-
ries in this state, just concluded by
the State Factory Inspectors, it was
determined that 545 of them had in
creased their actual capital invested
$6,531 $500, during the year 1899, an
average amount of increase for each
institution of ST., $500, active capital.
In 1852 factories, of those canvassed,
there were found to be employed a
total of "a, 1852 more employees than
during the year 1898, an average in
crease in each of these factories OF lie
per cent. The average daily wages,
considering all the employees found at
work in the factories of 1899, of which
all grades are included, was Sl.39 per
day while the same average in 1898,
taken in the same manner and includ-
ing the same employees was $l37 per
day.
