AS TO TAXING FRANCHISES.

The really valuable property of
many corporations, such as the Bell
Telephone Company and the Western
Union Telegraph Company, is not in
their actual machinery, buildings and
real estate, the value of which usually
amounts to an insignificant sum, but
is in the franchises which are the
foundation of their monopolies, and
the bread and meat and breath of life
of their entire business. 1t is these,
therefore, that should be the basis of
the taxes they should pay for the sup
port of the government
1t is encouraging to note that the
Supreme Court of Ohio has embodied
this view of the matter in a recent
important decision bearing on the tax
alton of the Bell Telephone Company.
The Court decided that in assessing
such franchises and patents, the true
basis of valuation is the actual value
of such rights and properties. In order
to ascertain what the actual value is,
the rents and profits may be taken
into consideration. The value of the
franchises and patents is governed and
fixed by the capacity for earning
profits.
In no State in the Union is this de-
cision of more importance than in
West Virginia, where by the grace of
our lawmakers these great menopolies
have heretofore escaped almost scot
free of their rightful share of taxation.
An attempt was made at the last
notorious session Of the Legislature to
pass measures looking to the proper
assessment Of such corporations, but
owing to the dominance, bulldozing
and trickery of the ring it failed of
passage.
If the people will send the proper
representatives to the Legislature these
corporations will be promptly brought
to book and made to shoulder their
legitimate share Of the burden of the
government by whose favor they exist
and enjoy the fruits of their enor-
mously profitable monopolies.

threw oil to the top of the derrick.
Every arrangement had been made and
she was soon turned in to the tanks.
There IS not fifty feet difference in the

found. There is no disposition to play
the Camden No. 2 as a mystery. 1t is
given out that it is doing over one hum

AN EXPLANATION IN ORDER.

Up to date there has been no demand
from Washington for an explanation
of the arrest by British cruiser of an
American merchantmen with cargo
of American -four consigned to the
neutral port of power at peace with
Great Britain.
Ambassador Choate has not yet been
asked to demand an explanation of this
unwarranted interference with Ameri-
can trade in Delagoa Bay.
Why does England hold up an
American vessel carrying flour 20
Portugal and allow to pass Russian
and French vessels carrying guns and
munitions Of war plainly destined for
England's enemies, the Beers? Ger
man vessels carrying Krupp guns have
been allowed to pass and the only Ger
man ship stopped has been one actually
carrying troops. And this has caused
an uproar in Berlin.
We all know the reason England
respects ships bearing the nag Of other
Y nropean powers. shA fears them &

Delagoa Bay, but they discredit the
statements OF the Lokal Anzeiger re-
garding it's nature. The Hamburg
fischer Correspondent says:
'"The treaty has no definite form, and
it would only come into force in case
Portugal should consent to sell a por-
ton of her colonies. 1t is confined SOLE
ly to her African possessions. Russia
has seen the treaty and has offered no
objections
The Vossische Zeitung also asserts
that the treaty does not mention Por-
tugal's Asiatic possessions.

Elsewhere we reproduce from our
esteemed contemporary, the Congress

John S. Robinson, of Nebraska, on the

fairly bristles with keen satire and wit
whose brilliancy scintillates in every
line. This effort should earn Mr.

Sunset Cox and Proctor Knott. More
over, it corruscates with the fire of
pure Democracy. Read it.

A Sorry Spectacle.

Chicago Inter-Ocean (Rep.)
In South Africa to-day 165,OO0 men, wo-
men and children have been driven,
through no fault of their own, into life
and-death-struggle to save their republics
from the mightiest empire on the globe.
For generations these republicans had
taken the United States as their example
of political institutions. They found in
spiration and guidance in the words and
deeds of our Washingtons, our Frankins,
our Jeffersons, our Websters and our Lin
coins. They looked for sympathy to the
great Republic of the West, whose heroes
they had made their heroes and whose
statements they had made their guides.
They did not ask and did not hope for ma
terial assistance. But they did have the
right to hope and they did have the right
to ask when they went forth to battle
against the invader that the United States
would ait least regard them with favor and
treat them with fairness. They could not
but expect that the moral support of the
United States would be given. They must
have felt that among the powers of the
earth there was one at least whose devo-
ton to republican institutions would cause
it to countenance their cause.
What burlesque on our professions then
must it seem to these republicans to-day
to find the great North American Union
giving weight and strength to the cause
of their oppressor! How contemplate
must Americas attitude seem to those who
turn back history's pages to the days of
Kossuth, when American statesmen were
wont to encourage republicanism wherever
it rose! What a gulf must the historian
of this century find between the American
policy OF Webster, which sought to spread
the light of this Republic, and the Ameri-
can policy of Hay, which would hide that
light under the imperial cloak of Britain's
power,

sohes& li1aheIins unless
Mr.. Mckinley ageln changes his
mind not at all al unlikely contin-
gency. in view Of the number Of times
he has already changed it on this sub
ject.
But will all this avert investigation
of the scandal? Hardly, for Senator
Allen in the Senate, and Representa-
tive Lentz in the House, have already
introduced resolutions providing for
Congressional inquiry into this scan
dial.
Moreover, what of the deposits COW
cred by the ST., $50, 900 which Mr.. Gage
will accept? That is a tremendous
sum to be loaned out free by the gov
eminent to bank or banks who will
in turn loan it out at high interest
rates. It will be tremendous rake
off, a few favored ones will thus get
as gift from Washington.
Is not this, alone, subject on which
Congress can ask some highly interest
ing questions?

1t is persistently rumored as
result of the scandal with the Standard
Oil Bank that Mr.. Gage will retire
from the Treasury-to relieve this
virtuous administration! But is it not
Mckinley, Cages superior and the re-
sponsible head of the Cabinet, who
ought to retire rather than Gage who
has repeatedly side-tracked his own
financial views and reversed himself
to accommodate the political exigencies
of the President?
Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1900-01-01

There are reasons why Gage should
retire from the treasury other than
that he has served the President in
favoring the Standard Oil Bank, and
one of these reasons is that he owns
600 shares of stock in a national bank
in violation of the law, which explicitly
forbids any person to be Secretary of
the Treasury who is concerned in the
purchase or disposal of any public
securities of any State or of the United
States.' The very foundation of a
national bank is ''the purchase and dis
posal" of United States securities.

Stories to the effect that the Demo-
Gratis of the South are not united on the
issues which will dominate the next
national campaign are to be taken with
much salt. Chairman Elliott Danforth,
of the New York State Democratic
Committee. who has just returned from
a tour of the South, says he found that
none of the Southern Democratic
leaders will insist ON making silver the
main issue in the next campaign. The
prevalent opinion, he says, is that the
dominant issues should be anti-trusts
and anti-imperialism.

THE TREASURY SCANDAL.


Every one connected with the pres
ent administration seems to be infected
with the proverbial weakness of the
Mckinley backbone. There is no bet
ter illustration of this than the palter-
ing, vacillaAing, uncertain and con-
Trajectory policy of Secretary Gage in
the recent dealings of the Treasury De-
partment with Wall street and espe-
cially in the case of the City National
Bank of New York, which the admins
tration proposed to make the govern
ment's agent for the distribution of the
Internal Revenue receipts amounting
to $500 100000 year. The widespread
and indignant protest of an outraged
public sentiment appears to have
caused Mr.. Gage to change his plans
very radically and suddenly. But this
radical changing OF plans is nothing
new to Mr.. Gage. OF late all of his
dealings with the New Workers have
been of the lightning change variety.
1t is probably unjust to Mr.. Gage.
however, to charge this stiffness up
to him, for he is a staid financier OF
settled convictions and policies and
long experience. 1t is good deal
more like the weakened, uncertain
and shifty gentleman in the White
House, Mr.. Cages chief, who has the
final decision in all matters of policy
under his administration. To Mr. Nc
Kinley, himself then, is doubtless
chargeable the unbusinesslike, waver-
ing and uncertainty and undign1fied
hating and retreating that have char
acterized Mr.. Cages recent actions.
It's all unlike Banker Gage but very
like the shifty politician in the White
House, who has changed his convic-
lions oftener than the style of his hat
Hence, after Gage had positively
stated some time ago that he would
not buy bonds to relieve the money
market in Wall street, it was doubt
less Mckinley who later made Gage
reverse himself and buy the bonds.
When Gage stated that he would not
prepay the January interest on bonds,
it was doubtless Mckinley who caused
him later to prepay that interest.
When Gage declared some weeks ago
that he would not come to the rescue
of Wall street by dumping government
funds into Wall street banks, it was
probably the President that ordered
him to do that very thing during the
recent panic. 1t will be remembered
that Mr.. Mckinley upheld the action
and declared the country ought to be
thankful to Mr.. Gage for averting
panic" although Mr.. Gage and Direc-
tor Roberts, of the mint, declared that
the panic was purely speculative, and
did not affect the business of the
country, which was true and common
sense. Again, when Mr.. Gage some
weeks ago declared that he would lay
himself open to the charge of favor
itism if he deposited the revenues in
New York banks, it was probably Mr..
Mckinley who forced him to reverse
himself and select ONE New York
bank as the receiver of the entire In
ternal Revenue receipts of the govern
ment, $30O,000,000 annually, for distri-
button. This was to give Mr.. McKin-
ley's campaign fund contributors in
Wall street the opportunity to dominate
the finances of the country and rig"
the market at will. And still again. it
is in all probability not Mr. Gage but
