why The People Like roosevelt,

President Roosevelt is clearly fol-
10 ing the policy in regard 10 APP
pointments which he adopted when
Governor Of New York State. He
is " iliing to appoint to Office the
men suggested by the party organi-
cations in the various states; but he
insists that these men must be ht.
And II st men are not proposed
within a reasonable time he takes
the matter in his W. hands. The
beauty of the whole situation lies in
the fact ,hatihe Presidents demands
are so reasonable that the men who
he turns down esuuot object in pub.
lie. They are compelled to say they
care more for the proper conduct Of
governmental business than for the
distribution Of patronage. And the
! President only insists on that. And
! he Is so honest and straightforward
! about !, tina, they are di,armed when
they feel like fighting. How long
be viii be able to keep the spoils-
men down remains to be seen. We
are inclined 10 think that il will not
be long before the men who only
care for the spoiIs will be snarling

Privy Councillor Goidberger OF
Berlin explains that the recently
formed German "sugar kartell" is
not a trust. but merely san agree
ment among the manufacturers for
the purpose Of controlling homo pro-
duciion and regulating prices," OF
course everybody will readily Tecog-
nize the difference. A ''kartell'
must be about the same as a "com-
munity OF Interest," which every
one knows is not a trust.

"Like others Of the older clerks Of
the patent Office, l remembcrthe very
frequent visits that the office used to
receive about 10 years ago from an old
gentleman who was pushing for rec
ognition the pateniing Of a annon
ball. observed a patent Office clerkto

something Of . joke, Il turns out by
recent authoritative experiments In

the old gentleman was right, and that,
like all other pioneers, he suffered
only because he was ahead ofhis time.
The gentleman | refer to was an as
tronomer and resided in Texas, He
was over so years Of age when he paid
his visits to the patent Office, and had
been for long time connected with
some college or educational institu-
ton in that state. His idea, in brief,
was that all existing cannon balls
were made on the wrong principle, il
absolute accuracy wac desired. He
even went further than this in claim
ing that all pistol and rifle balls or
~p~ojeetiles Of any sort were also wrong

was abundantly proved years ago,
whether fired from a'eannon, rifle or
pistol, was VIGOROUSLY untrue in the
mattct Of direction, and that the slag.
which is pointed on only one end, did
not fully remedy the deficiency,
though a very great-imprOvement on
the spherical ball. His claim was
that the only proiectile that could be
depended upon to 90 to the exact
point 10 which il was directed, was q
conical-shaped affair pointed at both
ends, and he spent considerable time
in explaining the claim, though the
subject was Of interest to but few pes
sons. The old gentleman insisted on
his claim. Army and navy ordnance
boards reported adversely on the
proposition, but in spite Of them all

TAXATION METHODS.
State Assessors to Enquire Into
Those of Other States.
Abstract from Report Of Minnesota's
Tax Commission.

The State assessors were directed by
the last Legislature to inquire into the
methods of taxation in other states and
make report on the same to the next
Legislature. In accordance Herewith
they are accommodating a large number
of documents which may be of great
assistance to the tax-reformers in the
next great and general court.
One report which has been carefully
perused by Maine students lately is the
report of the tax commission appointed
by the Minnesota Legislature for the
purpose of framing a tax code. This
report was made to a special session of
the Minnesota Legislature which has
just adjourned. In view of the issue
between the Grand Trunk Railway CO.
and the State of Maine, a portion of
the Minnesota commissions report is of
special interest. The report says:
THE commission believes that with
the advancement of ideas upon the
general subject of taxation a more sci
entific and, therefore, a more just
| method of taxing corporate property
will be evolved. Not only are the sew
| cral states frequently wide apart in
methods of taxation of such property,
but confusion prevails also in the laws
of each state upon the subject. Not
only SO but the methods in vogue in
this country are wide apart from those
in force in the most advanced Euro
pean states relating to like classes of
property. And system of taxation pre-
scribed for transportation or transmits
sion companies which depends in part
upon interstate earnings or upon yalu-
atfons of property situated without the
state contributing to such earnings, is
at best unsatisfactory, and will con-
tinue so until those earnings and valu-
ations are ascertained and apportioned
to the several states by federal author
lty. 1t is impracticable for a state to
ascertain such facts by Investigations
conducted by its own agents. 1t, there
fore, depends largely and often wholly
upon the reports of the respective COM
panies whose property is to be taxed.
Without impugning the accuracy of
such reports, it is obvious that no state
should be wholly, or to large extent,
dependent upon them. A single in
stance suffices for purposes of ilustra-
ton. An express company, engaged in
a great variety of business. many fea-
lures of which are quite distinct from
that of expressing commodities, whose
