SOMEBODY.

l know dear little somebody
Perhaps you know somebody, too;
Somebody's hair is golden brown,
Somebody's eyes are blue.
Somebody's lips are crimson bud,
Which bursts in early spring,
Somebody's voice is like the lay,
Which the merry song birds sing.
Somebody's mood is like the blue,
OF wide unbroken bay;
And somebody's mirth Is like tho
breeze,
or tiawless summer day.
Somebody's heart is purer far,
Than the surglng oceans tide;
And in its warm and pulsing depths
My boundless love shall hide.

Perhaps you know somebody, too;
Somebody's hair is golden brown,
Somebody's eyes are blue.

at each corner. Everything is quiet.
The men are apparently absorbed in

Whatever of wisdom or lack of it in

the proposition Of Mr.. Daugherty, the
motive behind it is deserving Of the
greatest commentator, and cannot
be justly criticised. 1t reveals the
magnanimity of true American cit
izen, the large hearted desire of a
leader of opposing political faith and
principles, to cease the activity Of war
fare, out Of respectful devotion to the
Chief Executive of the nation, an
Ohio man. 1t is that spirit of brother
hood, which If it could be more gen

chief characteristic of them, and would
place them on the higher plane of hon

other roads Of the state, the value of
whose securities is not ascertainable
with sufficient accuracy.
Low ASSESSMENT OF THE
OTHER ROADS
In addition to the twelve systems
or roads already referred to- there
are two other groups, consisting Of
twenty small roads of an average
length of only Is miles each, that re,
port net revenue, but are either operat-
ed at cost or, In four cases 1T Isl
claimed, at an actual loss. These roads
are only assessed today at $1,360,000,
or about $4,000 mile. Yet several Of
these roads are in the heart of large
cities, being used to connect with
roads entering the city, and in any
event could not be duplicated, doubt
less, for many times their assessed
value. The only way these roads can
be treated in this study, without such
investigation as only a state board can
undertake, is to assume that they are
assessed at the same ratio to their
true value as are the twelve systems
more fully studied above. On this
basis the estimated true value of
these small roads is $G,35S,00O and 60
per cent of this would be S3,S15,000,
in contrast with total assessment Of
$1,360,00O last year.
With regard to all the other roads
of the state, constituting the third
their net earnings as made to the
State Railroad Commissioner and to
the county assessing boards. Another
source Of informal tion is the printed
reports of some of the roads to their
own stockholders, and data given by
them to such recognized authorities
as Poor's Railroad Manual, the New
York Stock Exchange Handbook or
Manual of Statistics, published by
Charles III. Nicoll, and the various
! supplements of the Commercial and
Financial Chronicle.
In most cases the report of the State
] Railroad Commissioners has been more
closely followed than the report to
| the assessing boards, because the for
mer report makes distinct separation
of the entire income due to operation
from the income applicable to divi.
dends after paying taxes, interest on
bonds, etc. Assuming that the ratio
the same in this group of roads as in
4 tile case of the other roads already
studied, it is found that those roads
which have net income but whose Sc
curities are not sufficient guide to
their value haveoan estimated true
value of $l65,326,530 Even GO per
cent of this is 500, The total
estimated true value of all the roads
of the state on theiabove basis, which
Is believed to be eminently fair to the
roads, is $535, ,059,S11, and 60 per cent
of this is 1921 ,o35, 1856 or $2O4 ,00O, ,OOC
more than the roads have been ap
praised by the County Auditors. II
would seem, therefore, that the assess
ment should he raised by that amount

that the steel rails and ties, cars, en-
gines and buildings, to say nothing o

assessment.

the public as much as possible? In

vinegar or molasses or oil, but the

ST. PAUL, Jan. 1.-THE Carpenters
union, presided over by President
Hughes, held it's weekly meeting at AS
sembly hall Tuesday evening. Besides
discussing matters Of a purely union
nature, the union practically decided
to enter the political arena. The opin-
ion was quite prevalent that the men,
bers Of organized labor in this city had
the necessary number Of votes, if wise
ly cast, to guarantee them proper re-
presentation in all departments of the
municipal government, while at pre-
sent their quota is very small indeed.
The subject, after a brief discussion,
was referred to the delegates of the
Trades Assembly, who were directed
to bring it to the attention of the CEN
trail labor body at it's next meeting, in
order that a plan might be formulated
looking to united political action
among the St. Paul unions in the next
city campaign. c.. Gersch and John
WitZel We're admitted to membership,
and Leo Kerzuke was admitted by
travelling card from the MINNEAPOLIS
union. Treasurer Holm submitted his
quarterly report showing a cash bal
ance on December 81, 1899, of upwards
of $4,000. Business Agent Morrison re-
ported that all jobs now in course of
a fair demand for union carpenters.
The receipts of the meeting were $14S,-
60; disbursements $500.

NEW MINERS ORGANIZATION.
HituminOus Miners to
Organize State Union.

A dispatch dated Pittsburg, says:
PENNSYLVANIA is to have a state organi-
5sssae 5sssisls q 81
daries. Whether ut will 81 include q the
anthracite miners in eastern Pennsy1-
vania will depend largely on the hard
coal men themselves. AS at present
mapped out, it is the plan to first form
compact organization of bituminOus
miners.
The executive board of district Do. 5
of the United Mine Workers has adopt
ed a resolution deciding to begin a.
state organization, presumably of BIZ
luminous miners, to include the miners
of the Pittsburg district, river and rail.
and the miners of central and western
Pennsylvania, the Connellsville region
and the West Penn region.
If the organization is put through,
it will mean, to begin with, the union
of $4,000 Pennsylvania bituminous
miners in one compact organization.
Thus far each bituminous district has
shifted for itself as district of the
national organization. State wage uni
formity is desired.
The resolution adopted by the min
ers' board specifies eastern Pennsyl-
vania, and, as there are no soft coal
miners in that end Of the state, it is
believed to be the purpose to re-organ-
ize the hard coal men, who are said to
be ready for such a move. It is said
that in case of a strike at either enc
of Pennsylvania state organization
could prevent the mining of coal to
supply wants created by a strike.

Painters May Have Trouble.

MINNEAPOLIS, Jan. 11.-There is a
bare possibility that the painters of
the city may encounter some trouble
in securing the adoption of scale for
the coming season. There is a desire
to reduce the hours of labor to eight
hours per day. The bosses seem will
ing to agree to the reduction in hours,
with no raise in the rate per hour. The
bosses also wish to have the scale sign
ed at once for the year, instead of watt
ing until the first Of April, as is GUS
tomary. This would give them consid-
erable advantage, as work at this time
of year in that line is very scarce, and
they think they could obtain better
rates. 1t is hardly possible that the
employees will agree to this, and the
question of wages and hours will pro-
bably not be settled until later in the
season.
From the standpoint of the advocates
of the shorter work-day, it would seem
advisable to secure the eight hour day,
and leave the question of wages to be
settled at a later period. However, the
advance asked by the painters is a
small one, and their wages would then
be none too high, if the advance is
granted-only thirty-fve cents per
hour. The painters, like most of the
building trades in this section, lose
considerable time during the year, on
account of extremes Of temperature
| and the total earnings, even at the ad-
| vanced rate, would be small enough
1t is believed that the scale will be ad-
justed without any great amount OF
| friction.

with the long hours members of that
craft are obliged to work, and will at
tempt to secure a reduction of the
hours, and also do away with night
work, which has been one of the most
disagreeable parts Of the business.
There seems to be no good reason why
their work can not be done in the hours
of daylight, as we'll as in the night time
and as their is a cordial wish on the
part of the employers to agree to any
reasonable proposition of the employees
which will not interfere with the pro-
per. conduct Of their business, doubt
less some satisfactory basis of settle
ment will be agreed upon.
The bakers have good organization
and by their conservatism have gained
an excellent standing with the en-
ployers, who will meet them half way
in any reasonable proposition. We
wish them success in their efforts to
secure better hours.
