representatives of the business inter
ests Of the country on Friday are
worthy of serious consideration.
The business men who were given
hearing on this question represent
national and local boards of trade, the
National Millers Association. as well
as other Touring interests, together
With chambers Of commerce and bu-
reaus OF freight and transportation.
These men. who claim to represent the
shippers Of the country. demand an
interstate commerce law that shall
enforce the maintenance of uniform
rates and TO prevent Determinations
in the making of rates. AS the pres
ent commission has several times con-
fessed its inability to prevent rate cut
ting in favor Of big shippers. or to
punish violators Of the law, and as the
shipping and railroad interests are
united in their demand for the enact
ment of a better law, the only ques-
tion to be considered by congress con-
Germs the scope and particular provis-
ions of the proposed legislation.
There seems to be some uncertainty
upon the question as to whether the
bill now under consideration in the
senate will permit the railroads to pool
the maintenance Of uniform rates.
SOnIe Of the shippers VINO were given
hearing before the senate committee
expressed themselves as not unfriendly
to a Law that would allow pooling. In
fact, representative Of the National
Millers' Association expressed the
opinion that the revival Of the old
Joint Tariff Association and other sim
liar bodies would be benefit to ship
pers.
If the shippers are not opposed to a
law that win permit pooling under
control and direction Of the federal
commission there would seem to be no
good reason why the senate commit
tee should not embody this concession
in the measure TO be reported to con-
gress as the proposed measure
win secure absolute uniformity in
rates and which can be enforced by
the interstate commerce commission.
It is in the interests Of the shippers Of
the country Without this provision
the interstate commerce law will con-
tinue to be farce, as it has been for
thirteen years past.

BAD FOR POOR men.
Change In Assessment Means
Big Raise In Their Taxes.

The decision of the county assessors
that all taxable personal property be
assessed at its actual value and that
from the total assessment the consti-
tutional exemption of $500 be deducted
and that one-half the remainder be the
assessed valuation means that persons
with moderate means will have to pay
double or three times as much taxes
as heretofore, while persons who own
large amounts of personal property will
pay but little more than last year, II
any more, and will probably pay less.
In 1899 a person owning $500 worth of
personal property had it taxed on so
per cent of the assessed valuation
which would be $3.50. From that amount
the $500 constitution exemption was de-
Quoted, which left $50 liable to a total
tax of forty-eight and five tenths mills,
which amounted to $242. According to
the plan adopted for this year the same
$500 worth Of personal property will first
have the 5000 exemption deducted which
will leave $780, one half of this to be
taxed leaves $3.50 liable to the agreed
rate of taxation. If it be the same the
$500 worth of personal property taxed
$2.42 in 1899 will this year be taxed
three times that or $7.26. In 1899 per-
sonal property valued at $4,000 was di-
vided, leaving 1,500, and the 5000 sub
tracted leaving 1890 to be taxed to the
amount of $63.05. This year the 5000 will
be deducted fro mthe SO, 900 leaving 81, 800
amounting to $3.50, an increase of
trif1e over per cent while the increase
$500 is 200 per cent.
The assessors hold out the argument
that as this new rule will increase the
total assessed valuation that conse-
quently the rate of taxation will be re-
duced. It has been intimated that the
rate might be reduced from .04S5 to .O4.
In that case the man with So, 900 worth
of personal property will have his taxes
reduced IL per cent and the man with
$500 worth have his taxes increased 14S
per cent.
The tax assessors, give as their rea-
son for changing the deduction of the
$500 exemption from the total amount of
valuation instead of the so per cent as
heretofore that it will add to the list a
large amount of property which has es=
capped taxation.

decrease in taxes in Topeka for the past

TALK OF INGALLS,.
Republicans Mention the Ex-
Senator For Vice-Presi-
dental Candidate.

New York. March Tn order to
avoid gracefully the nomination of
Lieutenant Woodruff for vice president,
that place on the Republican ticket
may go west of the Mississippi. In fact,
Senator Platt and many of the leading
Republicans favor this idea. In discuss
ing probabilities the claim is made that
Iowa has enough now; otherwise Gov
ernor Shaw would fill the bill. The
speaker of the house of representatives
and Senator Allison, all powerful in the
senate, is supposed to be enough for
that state. 1t is a good time for Kan
sas or Nebraska or Missouri If an
available man in one of these states
can be found he can win in a walk.
The average Republican active in
politics favors an active man for the
place. Thurston has been suggested,
but there are objection. Logically he
is strong in probabilities. Some are
anxiously inquiring about the health of
Senator Ingalls,. They recall that he
made the best presiding officer of the
senate, and they feel that he would make
an ideal candidate for vice president.
The condition of his health and his per
sonal wishes in the matter viii largely
guide the calculations of those who
have an eye on him.
1t is the time for the west to round
up a man for vice president He will
have a show far above the average.

persistently refuses to be publicly
quoted, lest his words embarrass the
Mckinley administration
General Harrison contends there is
no occasion for gratitude on the part
of this government toward the British
He thinks the British were guilty of
inhuman practices during the revolu
tionary war and that their attack on
this nation in 1912 had no justincation
from any international standpoint
while their conduct toward the Union
during the civil war was also reprehen-
sible.
He sees no occasion for enthusiasm
over the friendship Of the English dur
ing the war with Spain, as it was a war
against cruelty and clearly for human
ity There was no reason why the Brit
ish or any other enlightened nation
should not have been with America on
this proposition.
If the British were suppressing cruel
ty in South Africa or remedying condi-
tions that interfered with human gov
ernment, the United States would be
justified in lending its sympathy. On
the contrary, General Harrison thinks,
here is a republic fighting for its home
and its own government, a cause as
Just as the Americans had in their
great war of the Eighteenth century.
