The Democrats will gain nothing
in their fight on Emil Grosser with
reference to the proposed new tax
law.
This proposed law or bill was pre-
pared by 3 commission composed OF
eight men including the attorney gen.
eral Of the state, the state treasurer
and the auditor Of state. The bill
will be presented to the next legisla.
ture. Then 1926 members OF the
house and 40 members Of the senate
will discuss it, amend it and d. with
1t as they think best.
1t IL o most difficult thing to make
an efficient and satisfactory tax law.
There have been over Is commissions
appointed in other states during the
last 40 years to revise the tax Codes
In nearly every instance the bills pre-
pared by these commissions have
been turned down by the legislature.
In the few instances where such bills
we're passed, they we're so changed
amended and modified that they bore
no resemblance to the bill as original
ly prepared.
The bill presented by the Kansas
commission contains some excellent
features. One OF these is the pro-
vision for taxing the franchises OF
public service corporations such as
railroads, express, telegraph and tele'
phone companies. From this source
alone several hundred thousand dol
lars would be paid into our state
treasury Of which the state at present
does not get cent. This part OF the
bill was copied from the New York
law that was recommended by Theo.
dore Roosevelt while governor OF that
state and subsequently passed by the
New York legislature. In every first
class city 10 our state where the in.
auence OF organized capital is power
full, the large manufacturing concerns
and the wealthy corporations are
allowed to escape with the payment
OF a nominal tax only. The farmer
and small property owner, however,
Is assessed and taxed upon every
piece and particle Of property that he
owns. To remedy glazing inequali-
ties Of this kind over dozen states
within the last 10 years have created
permanent boNds or state tax COM
missions, similar to the one proposed
ia the Kansas bill, whose duty 1T is
to see that property Of all kinds is
assessed alike.
Taken as a whole the law recon-
mended by the Kansas commission,
with a few changes and amendments,
would be great improvement over
the present inefficient and unjust
system.
The commission has made no claim
to iniallibility. 1t has done what 1t
was asked to do-suggested plan on
which The legislature can work, SON e.
thing impossible to do from the be.
ginning during the briet session OF
the legislature. 1t has done Its work
and well and no member
has been more conscientious or earn.

better tax law-which Is needed

''It was rumored among the sol

Marvellous Railroad Management

: 4
In no respect is the success of Amer
lean business methods more clearly
shown than in railway management.
The railways of the United States are
better equipped, better otficered, and
have better financial direction than
those of England or the continent of
Europe. Whether passenger or freight
traffic be considered, there is scarcely
room to question the advantage on
the American side of the account.
The passenger trains in the United
States are more luxurious than those
abroad. The former are better equip
ped at all points than the latter. The
cars are heavier, the locomotives are
more powerful, the roadbeds on the
principal lines are in better condition,
and for ordinary trains the time is
faster. For long, continuous runs
there are no quicker trains abroad
, than in this country.
The American freight cars carry
from three to ten times the load of
the foreign goods" Car. American
freight schedules are more regularly
kept and rates are much lower. Loco
motives are far more powerful for all
kinds of traffic in this country than
on the other side of the ocean.
These reflections are suggested and
stimulated in part by the late annual
report of the Chicago, Milwaukee &
st. Paul Railway. That great system
during the last fiscal year spent above
six million dollars in betterments. 1t
had an increase of three and one-quar.
ter million dollars in gross earnings
and over one million dollars in net
earnings. The dividend rate on com
mon stock was advanced from 6 to
per cent. The enormous gross earn

trust, they compel at the same time
the repeal of the differential duty,
under which the trust is allowed to
collect about $6,0o0,oo0 additional
tax from the American consumer,
and if the countervailing duties are
added, that sum can be multiplied
fourfold. This legislation, if enact
ed, would probably aid the Cuban
planter somewhat and would reduce
the price of refined sugar in the
United States by as much, or more,
as the sugar trust would gain on tho
20 per cent. decrease of duty it would
pay on imported raw sugar from Cuba.
This double reduction did not suit
the sugar trust, nor did it suit it's al
lies, the administration senator's.
If President Roosevelt had really
wanted to aid the Cubans and strike
a blow at one of the great trust mo-
nopolies, why did he not recommend
| the reduction of the tariff on refined
sugar equal to the advantage the
sugar trust would gain by the 20
per cent reduction on Cuban raw
sugar?
Havemeyer would not, of course,
under these circumstances, give a
large check to the republican cam
paign fund, but the consumer of
sugar in the United States would be
| benefited, even if the collector for
the campaign fund had to hunt from
other trust quarters the necessary
cash to make up the deficiency.

VOTE FOR AMALGAMAT1oN.
with the, Spanish-American
War Veterans.

Detroit, Mich, Sept. 24.-The Span
ish war veterans have voted in favor OF
amalgamation with the Spanish-Amer-
lean war veterans. The resolution was
introduced by Col. Champe Andrews
of New York, and it was enthusia stlc-
ally adopted by reclamation. Not a
dissenting voice was heard. The reso-
luton provides for the appointment
of committee of five to meet with
similar committee from the Spanish
American war veterans and discuss
the details and arrange for amalga-
nation. Gen. j. Warren Keifer, the
first president of the society, and a
number of other delegates spoke in
favor of the proposition before vote
was taken on the resolution. A reso-
luton proposing to add the word
"navy" to the society's name, making
it the National Army and Navy Span
ish War Veterans was introduced and
referred to the committee on resolu-
tions.
The report of Adjt. Gen. Dyer
showed that the organization had
made very rapid progress during the
past year, the membership having in.
creased from $4,000 to $4,000. Nearly
200 commands have been organized in
the various states and territories, and
| there are also commands in the Philip
pines and Porto Rico. Over 100000
others are in process of formation. The
following states have been organized

HOW F1L1p1Nos ARE TAUGHT.
The Administrators Boast of Edu-
catiOnal Progress Punctured W
Ocular Evidence.

The special correspondent In the
Philippines of the Washington Even
ing Star, in letter dated Gilman,
Samar, April %, 1902, brings out two
highly instructive points concerning
American teachers in those islands
and their relation to the natives and
the army. The administration has
been tickling us with the idea OF the
vast progress the natives We're MAX
ing in their studies, but from the
testimony given below, it must be
concluded that these teachers, as a
class, are useless, expensive and mis-
chievous. He says:
81 would advise overworked teach-
ers in the States to get an appoint
ment over here, where the work is
light and the pay good. knowledge
is not required, but patience one
must have. The first month you
teach the scholars Good-morning,
the second 'Good-evening' and the
| third 'Good-by.' The fourth month
you teach them How are you?' and
the fifth Very well, thank YOU
There are two American teachers
here who have been teaching five
months, and as the above is the
present vocabulary of the pupils
the formula is correct. These teach
ers were notified last week that il

past five months, they would b.

500 at the station when the train
came in. The crowd was orderly and
no demonstration against Young was
made.
At the close of the interview be-
tween Detective Captain Titus and
Young, Capt. Titus said Young had
made statement in which he de-
clared that a man named Charles
Simpson Filing, whom he had met
in Central park three weeks ago, was
responsible for the death of Mrs.
Pulitzer. He declares he was de-
generate, and visited him several
times IN his fat. On the night Mrs
Pulitzer died he and Filing met her
by appointment and they went to
his fat together. Young went out
for some whisky and when he came
back Filing had disappeared and
Mrs. Pulitzer was lying on the bed
He tried to revive the woman, and
failing, tried to dispose of the body
to avoid disgrace.

DEFEAT OF TIE PRESIDENT.
Chief Executive Is Foiled by the
Vaccinations of Sugar Trust
Republicans.

Tie defeat of the Cuban reci-
procity legislation is a great blow
to the administration of President
Roosevelt. His attempt to coerce
congress to do his bidding, which he
emphasized in two messages to that
body, has been spurned by a large
faction of the republican party in
the interest of the beet sugar trust.
1t is now stated that the president
will call an extra session of con-
gress if action is not taken at the
present one. The members OF the
beet sugar faction in the house of
representatives, joining with the
democrats, have passed the bill
reducing the 90 per cent. on Cuban
products, with another section added
which was insisted on by the demo-
Gratis, repeating the differential
duty on refined sugar. The repub-
lican members of the senate found
themselves in the same dilemma as
the members of their party in the
house~of representatives They were
compelled to take the bill as it came
from the house, with the democratic
antitrust section, or take the re-
sponsibility of no legislation.
The democratic position is unique.
The members of that party voted in
the house and were ready to vote in
the senate for the presidents rec
ommendation for reciprocity with
Cuba. But knowing that this 20 per
cent. reduction on Cuban products
would, in the case of sugar, inure in
great measure to the benefit of the
