Wealth of the West.

New York Commercial.
To anybody who has kept an eye on
the business movement throughout the
West since 1897, noting the rapid spread
of prosperity there after the long PERIOD
Of depression. and who have remarked
also the changed tone of many OF the
Western newspapers, the reports from
Western banks in Thursdays CONNER
cial were hardly a revelation or sur.
prise The metamorphosis of Kansas ano
Nebraska farmers from Populists to piu-
tocrats Is no joke-and they are only
typical of all classes in dozen or SO
States of the West that were burdened
with debt up to four years ago.
To the public at large, however, 1t was
as surprising as it was gratifying 10
learn that so much spare cash has accu-
INFLATED in the banks of the great grain
States. 1t is the direct result OF course;
of the return of business confidence and
of a series of good crop years; but It Is
none the less wonderful that within half
a decade mortgages and other debts rep
resenting millions of dollars should have
been discharged, the payment of interest
stopped, and borrowers actually have be-
come lenders. A vast amount of the
money wealth of the country is now
conferred in the grain States of the West.
and there is a great deal of force and
significance in the statement OF prom
inent New York banker recently that the
relations of New York banks and those
of the interior ere not likely to long con-
tinue as at present. The change has al
ready begun.
The West is fast approaching condi-
ton of something very like financial in
dependence.

SELLING FRANcHIsEs.

Within the past week the franchise OF
street car line, in Mobile was extended,
but the City Council required certain i'm
provements and extensions to be made,
and a certain per cent of gross receipts
to be paid into the city treasury.
The Los Angeles Herald of Sept. 9Th,
says:
The City Treasury was enriched yes
terday by the sum of $3O.250 paid hy~the
Los Angeles Railway Company for the
BELT Line franchise, so-called. II was
the largest amount ever paid the city for
a franchise, and it's receipt emphasized IN
a substantial manner the wisdom and
usefulness Of the new law requiring fran
chises to be put up for sale to the high
est bidder. Since the law went into eff
feet a little more than year ago, the
city has received over $4,000 from tic sale
of these privileges. 1t is hardly necessary
to explain that the money has been i god
send to the city treasury.
The fact that corporation was willing
to pay $4,000 for a single grant "fords
a practical illustration of the value OF
public utilities land emphasizes the need
of care and the exercise of sound bust
ness judgment in disposing Of franchises
Los Angeles is growing rapidly aid Its
privileges are increasing in value In
proportion.

THE OPPOSITION.

1t is ridiculous for any one to pretend
that the meeting yesterday in Birming-
ham, which is reported In our Birming-
ham dispatches this morning was acci-
dental. The Advertiser of Friday morn
ing announced that the meeting would
take place and 1t was a conspicuous fact
here that ex-Congressman Stallings went
up Friday evening to be on hand at the
opening. 1t was reported that some local
lights were to go, but they did not appear
on the scene. General Shelley may not
be the main mover in this opposition.
Most probably he is not but he sent out
several days ago. letter over his own
signature stating that a conference would
be held in Birmingham on the 18th to con-
slider what action, If any should be taken
by those Democrats who opposed ratifica-
ton of the constitution and requested
attendance of recipients of his letter.
1t would appear that there was only
slim attendance at the conference. but
the friends of the constitution might as
well prepare for the opposition that they
will have to meet. 1t will only require
calm discussion before the people and in
the press to win a glorious victory fer
ratification.

over the top, requiring no pumping.

COST OF THE INQUIRY.
Estimated That It Will Be Nearly
$1,000 a Day.

Washington Times.
The printing Of the daily record of the
proceedings of the Schley Court of En-
quiry and the testimony will cost a great
deal of money. Each days testimony
will be printed at the Government Print
ing ONCE every night in time to have 1t
on the desks CT the members of the court
when they arrive at the Navy Yard next
morning. The entire night force of the
Government Printing Office has been or
dered to be on duty tonight. These are
the Congressional Record when Con-
gress is in session. All the copy is set
by hand. the Government Printing Office
being probably the only big printing office
Union has been strong enough to bar out
type-Setting machines.
The night force numbers between sixty
and seventy men and it is said that it
will cost nearly 500 a night to get out
the testimony on time When it is re-
membered that one month is the very
lowest estimate which is made of the pc
riod of the courts existence 1t is plain
that the printing bill be no small item.
Under the system of bookkeeping in the
Printing Office, the expenditure for this
work will be charged up against the
Navy Department.
The cost of making the daily steno-
graphic report will also be very great.
The report is taken in short relays, each
man debating his notes into graphic
phone where 1t is then Transcribed by a
corps of typewriters. 'The stenographers
expect to have the copy of the morning
session after today ready for the printer
by o'clock. while the afternoon work
will be ready. not later than s o'clock.
In addition to these bills there will be
the expenses of witnesses Every witness
Is allowed a mileage of 5 cents per mile
and an attendance fee of 81 so per day.
A great number of witnesses have been
summoned. so that the trial will prob
ably cost the Government nearly $1,000 a
day.

supporting them are those who teach the
doctrine that those who rule are enemies
of the people and that the people should
remove such rulers when they see proper
to do so.
The counsellors. the plotters and the
endorsers are the ones who are primarily
responsible for the crime which has
plunged a great country into mourning.
Czolgosz was but the tool who executed
the will of those whom our laws allow
the privilege of perfecting and carrying
out such vile plots, and the time has come
when the projectors as well as the exc
cutors OF crime must be punished.
Further than that, the time has come
when those who are known anarchists
will have to be repressed. deporte5 or
punished. The government owes 1t To It's
officials to protect them against organized
assassins. and to do that eftectuaily the
axe must be laid at the root Of the tree.
The teachers and fomenters OF snerchy
should be turned back from our shores
and those already here should te sup
pressed II it fills the prisons with those
who are at heart little better than as
sassins.
Our country IL the acknowledged refuge
for the weary and oppressed o! all
nations, but 1t should be no longer the
breeding and Matching place OF crime.
Anarchy is crime in its final outcome and
anarchy can and should be made rrlmi-
nal and impossible. Whether v'e al" to
have a revival of the Alien and Sedit'on
laws or something better we cannot ssy
but the people of this country are be-
coming of one mind in their determination
that an end must be put to rhe assassi-
nation of public men. How that can be
best accomplished Is for the Congress to
determine, but the time is near a: hand
when anarchy must be suppressed by
law or It will be crushed out by the

Mortgage Tax Boomerang.

new OTh EOSl.
Another boomerang aimed at invested
capital. but rebounding upon the he I'd of
the debtor class is reported from Mis-
souri,. A constitutional amendment tax
ing realty mortgages was adopted in
1900, and Immediately period Of nigh in
terest rates for mortgages, unproc edented
in the Missouri loan market, set in.
Rates rose from to per cent, the 3
per cent. increase being sufficient to
cover the amount of the tax and a GER
tain insurance against risk of loss in col
lecting the higher charge. Money for
loaning was scanty, even at the higher
price. Now, with the recent decision of
the Supreme Court of Missouri, in which
the tax is declared unconstitutional rates
have fallen to the normal per cent,
and capital is flowing into the State
Legislators have learned once more that
haphazard methods of finance cannot be
relied upon. The whole Missouri ex-
perience comes, of course. from failure
to understand the incidence of taxation.
1t has long been known as a principle of
taxation that taxes upon the Investment
of capital must be shifted to the Dor
rover, unless no competitive fields where
the tax is absent are open to the in
weston. That such fields exist is abund-
ance outside Of Missouri ought to have
been clear even to the legislators OF that
State. At all events. the similar e1pe-
rience in Michigan and elsewhere shpuld
have enlightened them as to the work
ing of such taxes.
