would like to ask those statesmen who
seem to think that carrying the flag at the tail
end OF ships, changes the course of trade, at
what price a banker in Manila will buy six
months drafts on New York against consign-
ments, as long as he knows that by the time
the draft reaches New York for rediscount the
current rate of interest may be any rate be-
tween per cent per annum and ID of 1 per
cent per day, or that the banks of New York
may then refuse to rediscount at any rate, be-
cause they are scared: and on what terms
could the Manila banker reimburse himself by
selling to importers drafts on scared banks.
Wares of commerce follow the drafts of COM
merce instead Of a flag, and the principal rea-
son why Great Britain is the market place of
the worlds commerce is not because the union
jack flies at the tail end of so many ships, but
because every banker and merchant in every
quarter OF the world knows, within 2 or per
cent per annun, the exact value of a draft for
rediscount in London.

reports of the railroads of the north
west. According to the Soo's annual
report because of the crop failure of
1900 the freight traffic of that road
showed falling off of S750,O0O. The
IN. T. annual also tells a story of short
age in the volume of freight. Mr..
Hill in his annual says more than
81 100000 less bushels of wheat and
fax were hauled in 1901, traffic con-
dition which decreased the earnings

big thing in times OF prosperity, and is
greatly missed in poor seasons.

SHORT. SKIRTS IND MICROBES.

Out from under the octopus burdened
State of New Jersey, comes a member
of a local board of health at Bayonne,
who to fame and fortune may at the
present time be unknown, but W no
promises to become one of the greatest
microbe extinguishers of the age.
This man does not belong to the medi-
cal fraternity, nor has he carved out a
niche in the realms of science, but on
the contrary he is a plain citizen and
modest member of a local board of
health, who perchance is studying cpl
denies, their cause and consequences.
His name is Meigs, and in his quiet
and pensive moods while sitting on the
corner dry goods box down in Bayonne,
he has watched the swish-swash of the
twentieth century skirt as worn by the
twentieth century woman on divers
occasions. He has seen the myriads of
microbes stirred up on the streets by
the low hanging and dragging skirt,
and has seen the pedestrians in the
feminine wake inhale in raw bulk
these awful germs of disease that must
feed upon and devour the good, live
healthy tissues of the hnman race All
this has the local health office Witness
ed, and he has come to the conclusion
that the only thing that will save the
human race from premature destrrc-
ton is the short skirt, and he proposes
to introduce an ordinance forbidding
women wearing these long skirts. In
this innovation he will have the hearty
cooperation of the men who must pay
for all this supertluous cloth and pay
tribute to all this foolish fashion. And
he will also in an indirect way be in
strumental in tightening the burdens
of womankind, and make woman more

l IMPORTANT Tx DECISION.

Justice does not always miscarry in
our courts. The supreme court of ILL
nois has rendered a decision that places
on the tax rolls s235, 100000 worth of
capital stock, franchises, etc., of the
street railway and traction companies
of Chicago. H.: ...@-. .-, 4.
This case was instituted by the states
attorney of Sangamon county at the in
stanceeof the Chicago Teachers feder-
alton. It was for writ of mandamus
to compel the state board of equaliza-
ton to assess the foregoing corpora
lions which it was alleged had hitherto
escaped taxation by the hoard. The
court holds that the board, in assessing
corporations, does not act as a board of
review, but as an original assessor, and
that the performance of it's duty to
assess the fair cash value OF capital
stock, including franchises, over and
above the value of tangible property
may be enforced by mandamus.
The supreme court in affirming the
order of the lower court says:
While it is true that fraud will not be pre-
sumed and that the decision of the state board
of equalization in fixing the value of corporate
property for the purpose of taxation is quasi
judicial in it's nature, still, when it is apparent
to the court that every well-known rule for
the valuation of capital Stock including fran
chises, has been violated and arbitrarily disre-
garded by the board and such board has re-
fused to consider the statements as to values
prepared by the assessors under the statute for
its use and has refused to consider information
as to the value of such corporate property sub
mitted to it by interested parties and has ar
bitrarily fixed such grossly inadequate sum
under rules passed by it for the occasion, the
court is justified in holding that fraud in max
ing such assessments has been established and
such pretended assessments MAY be properly
disregarded, and such board be coerced by the
writ of mandamus to assess such property.
The lower court instructed the board
to assess the stock and franchises at
their full market or fair cash value and
to certify them to the county clerk of
Cook county. It further ordered it to
report to the court the results of it's
work on June 18th, which orders it
disregarded. But the higher court has
sounded note Of warning, and it is
presumed that the all-powerful board
of equalization of the State of Illinois
will proceed to do business for the citi-
zens of the State in the future.
The decision is a broad and sweeping
one and is a sledge hammer blow. It
is said that the decision adds IS, 100000
to the funds of the State, and 100000
to Cook county.
