Sec. IL. The rate of taxation on
property for state purposes shall never
exceed four mills on each dollar of valu-
alton; but the provisions of this section
shall not apply to right Of way, franchises
in public ways, or land, the full cash
value of which may be taxed at such
additional rate, not exceeding two mills
on each dollar of assessed valuation, as
shall be provided by law, after exempt
ing all personal property and improve
ments thereon from such additional rate
of taxation"
When this section is analysed we
find that in SO far as personal proper
ty is concerned the same four mill
rate Is retained, but in 80 far as land
is concerned the rate is increased to
six mills, an increase OF fifty per
cent. In short, not only is personal
property exempted from all taxation,
except for state purposes, and the
entire burden of local taxation placed
on land, but the state is authorized
to increase taxes on land one half
over what it now is, to produce rev.
enues for the state. If this Is not

William J. Bryan, IN the Commoner,
makes no coucealment-of his disgust in
discussing the selection Of special am
bsssadOrs to represent America at the
kings coronation. He says:
The appointment Of special ENJOYS to
represent the United. States government
at the coronation Of King Edward iDdi-
Gates a weakening of American seuti-
ment and lowering Of American ideals
Surely our ambassador at the Court Of
st. James can give expression to all the
interest which Americans feel in the
GROWING Of England's sovereign. Do
the empeTors of the old world and dis
tinguished persOnages dance attendance
upon our president when he assumes
the duties imposed upon him by the suf-
frages Of his cOuntrymen? Why, then
should American representatives hang
around throne and pay homage to one
who rules. not by the voice Of the people
or because of personal merit, but because
he is the eldest son Of one who in turn
inherited the privilege Of exercising Hu-
thority? 1t takes generations to cult
vate the courtier's bow and the worship
full mien, and our ENJOYS are apt to ex-
cite the derision that is expressed tow
ard those who show the faWning spirit,
but fawn awkBardlY. King Edward
ought to make the most Of this evidence
Of the decadence Of the American spirit
for the demonstration may not be re-
Peated. He should announce that the
proud heir of George III. accepts with
pleasure the respectful alterations of the
repentant descendants of George Wash
ington."

Marking Hasons and DixOn's Line.
Mason and Dixon's line is not to be
allowed to loose its marking and to
drop out Of existence so far as visible
signs Of its historic location are con
cerned. The famous old boundary that
divided the north and south, that
marked the line between free and
slave territory, and that has been
talked about, written about, argued
about and fought about probably more
than any other line ever laid out on
the continent, is now being surveyed
and its location definitely marked.
The old stone posts set along its course
after Charles Mason and jeremiah
Dixon marked it in 1853 are being re-
set in solid cement, and iron posts are
being substituted in-places where the
old posts have disappeared. Genera
tiOns yet to come viii be able to follow
that line, established in the middle OF
the Eighteenth century to rectify the
biunders IN the survey that was to
mark the boundary between the grants
to William Penn and Lord Baltimore,
that followed the southern boundary
Of Pennsylvania, dividing it from Del
aware, Maryland and Virginia, and
which has found an enduring place In
American history.

PENSIONS Tor Presidents W 1nOW6-
The bill to pension Mrs. Mckinley at
the rate of 5000 a year has been re-
ported fOvorably, and no doubt will be-
come a law. The argument that Mrs.
Mckinley is not in need Of a pension
is met with the statement that a pen
sion to presidents widow is granted
on honorary grounds, without regard
to the financial condition of the recip-
lent.
Martha Washington, Louise Cath
arine Adams, Dolly Madison and Mrs.
Taylor were each given the franking
privilege. Gen. William Henry Harri-
son died only one month after his in
auguration; his widow was given his
full salary for one year-S25, OOO-and
was granted the franking privilege.
Mrs. Polk and Mrs Tyler each re-
ceived pension of 5000 yer. Mrs.
Lincoln received her husbands full
salary for one year-S25, OOO-less the
amount that had been paid on it after
his second Inauguration, and was also
given an annual pension of 5000 and
the ranking privilege.
Mrs. Grant receives 5000 annually
and has the franking privilege. Mrs.
Garfield received her husbands salary
for the full year S5O,OOO-less what
had been paid on it, and has the frank
ind privilege also. Mrs. BENJAMIN
Harrison is asking a pension on the
strenth of these precedents, but she is
not a presidents widow.

The house committee on Joint reso-
luton of congress, for the submission
of a constitutional amendment to be
ratified by the states to elect senators
by popular vote, has made its report,
which in part is as follows: "Many
good and true men Of merit are forced
to defeat, and the glory and honor of
a senatorship is snatched from the
hands Of the people by corrupt means. ,
The report further says: Take from
the legislatures the selection of United
States senators and you will destroy
one Of the most potent powers through
which corporate influence now holds
its sway. Give the people the right
proposed by this amendment and you
will once more restore the United
States senate to the position intended
by the fathers of our country and re-
move the influence that now threatens
the confidence Of the people in this i'm
pOrtant branch of our government. "
Imagine the "most potent, grave
and reverend seigniors" of the senate
reading this report! Is this a slam on

The railway mileage of the United
States in 1880 was D miles, from Al
bany, n. Y, to Schenectady. In 1901 it
was 199,376 miles, and embraced every
state and territory in the union and
many Of our insular possessions. The
number of passengers carried in 1900
was 584, 100000. The total trackage
would make 80 double-track lines from
New York to San Francisco, or one
single line around the globe eight
times. To operate these roads requires
100000 men, and furnishes support to
100000 people. One-third Of the rail
ways OF the world are owned by govern
ments; some Of the roads in Great
Britain and nearly all in Germany.
Russia, France and Italy are so owned,
and the profits Of operating furnish q
large source of revenue to these govern
ments. The magnitude Of the railway
problem in the United States is the
most powerful argument for govern
ment ownership. The government
must own the railroads or the rail-
roads viii in the course Of time own
the government.
