STRIKE SETTLED

SAN FRANCISCO, April 27.-The
strike of the Street-Car men is at an emu
and the strikers are victorious. With

the strike was declared off. Some Of
the men reported for duty at once, and
a number of cars were started from the

which is of immea surable value, not only
tc their own city and State, but to the
entire country. Finding the approprla-
tons for school purposes insufficient ana
that money was withheld on the ground
that the limit of the tax levy had been
reached knowing that millions of dol
lars worth of property was not on the
tax list they set to work to compel the
Board Of Equalization to assess the prop
erty of corporations at the same proper
ton of its market value as they assessed
the property of individuals. In other
words, to raise these artificial persons up
to the level of taxation upon which natu-
raj persons are held. The case was won
before the Circuit Court and recently the
Supreme Court has given d. unanimous
and final decision in their favor. The
first result is that twenty-three public
serviceCorporations in Chicago, which are
now assessed at S33.G0o,00O. must here
after be assessed upon the aggregate
value of their franchises and other prop
erty at $235, 600, 000--near1y ten-fold in
crease. Tho rule adopted by the Supreme
Court of the United States was adhered
to In estimating the value OF the capt.
tai stock and franchises of these corpo-
rations the fair cash value of the stock
was added to the market value of the
bonds, deducting current liabilities and
the eqiaiZed assessed valuation of all
the tangible property. The rule laid down
, by the court is that of exact equality for
all property-owners The rate of taxa
ton in Chicago is per cent, but tangi-
bic property is assessed at only one
fifth its fair cash value. Nevertheless,
the increase in the citys income is es-
timated to range from $1500,00O to $780,
600, and that of the schools from $1,000, 600
to $1,000 900. The Real Estate Board is
preparing to lower the rate of taxation
upon the tangible property of railroads.

Consider we'll these facts. gentlemen,
before you conclude to- blight the State
O: Virginia with an unequal obsolete
! and unjust system which has been re-
pudiated by the courts and all the most
progressive States in this Union. Ten
years ago the Nutmeg State led the way,
with the result already shown. Indiana,
Michigan, New York and others have al
ready adopted this great reform. In Wis
Consn and Ohio both parties are COM
mitted to it, the fight being led in the
latter by Tom Johnson, the greatest
street railway owner in this country, if
not in the world. Common sense, COM
mon fairness and common justice alike
demand that the property of these arti-
fetal persons, which are the creatures of
| the State, shall be assessed and taxed
upon the same principle and basis of
valuation as the property Of natural per-
sons, and l cannot believe that the Con-
Stitutional Convention OF Virginia Will

The MORTGAGE TAX.

The Joint Committee on Taxation Of the
New York General Assembly made a re-
mort on the mortgage tax question in 1900
actually productive of much revenue. Be
cause of exceptions made by 2 particular
class Of mortgages, they explained, and
the apparent inability of assessors to find
this particular class of property, and
for other reasons owners of mortgage
debts did not contribute as a class to the
pub!ic revenue. The committee further
reported that in the few cases in which
the property III mortgages went under
the assessment rule the local rates opcrat-
cd with great and undue severity. Some
times, they said moro than fifty per
cent of the income had to be turned
OYER as a tax. These cases of extreme
hardship were usually those where a,
property OF widows and orphans-per-
sons who were least able to support
themselves and often dependent upon a
slight income for their subsistence.
That is the way such taxes operate in
every State Some people can, and do,
hide away this class of property, So
called, while others, either for conscience
sake or from necessity, give in their
holdings for taxation.
The whole principle is wrong. The
State ought to continc itself to actual,
tangible property and tax it wherever
il be found within its borders. There
IS no escape from such taxation, for
property can always be found. But
when the State chases after that which
merely represents property and seeks
TO tax it the few will suffer, While the
many Will escape.

RAILROAD RATES.

In discussing the other day the question
of railroad rates, We said that it was not
to the interest OF the road to cut rates
and make Determinations and give re-
bates and all that, and expressed the
opinion that If they were permitted to
make their own agreements With each
other the evils of which the Interstate
Commerce Commission complained would
largely disappear.
Our esteemed contemporary, the Chatta-
nooga Times, says that this would appear
TO Ire a very simple remedy, but eX-
presses doubt OF the efficacy Of this prop
osition unless a penalty of some magni-
sude should be attached Tor non-com-
plialce in case the railroads should be
permitted TO pool rates. 1t alleges that
suffcrcr from rate Determinations. Yet
1T is not contcnded even by the railroads
that the requirements Of the interstate
statutes have anything whatever to DO
si,h it. Tn. rates in Chattanooga are
made and agreed upon by the freight
association. and the Louisville ana
Nashville Railroad. which is responsible
for them. maintains that they are just
and fair.
And this in conclusion:
Our Richmond contemporary has proba-
tly never had such experiences as we
have had. and Tor that reason its faith in
the good intcntioEs of the great carry
sng corporations is a tritie more chlldlika

ci,atc.
The Chattanooga Times has unwit-
tinEly given its case away 1t says that
the only way to get competing rates is
to get competing lines. But. suppose
Chattanooga should get competing lines
and become n competitive point Would
Chattanooga be willing that shippers at
towns far and near, which were not com
pctitive points, should have the same
rate that Chattanooga enjoyed? Ihat
is the great difficulty. There are CEN
tres of trade. and they are necessary.
There are competitive points, and in the
nature of things such points will get bet
ter rates than points which are not com
Detftive. There are some towns and
cities which have water transportation,
and they demand all that their natural
advantage gives them.
In the city of Richmond, for example,
our rate is not determined by the rail-
roads. but by the river. Water trans
portation is cheaper than transportation
overland, and the railroads of Richmond
are compelled to meet the river competi-
ton. This gives Richmond a natural
advantage which she demands. and it IS
out of the question for an inland town
which has no water transportation to
expect to enjoy the same advantage of
rates that the James river gives to Rich
mond.
Norfolk and Newport News have the
advantage OF splendid harpors, where the
largest ships of the world may come In.
Their location gives them the greatest
advantage that any cities could enjoy IN
the way Of freight rates, and so Nor
folk and Newport News would never
agree that inland towns should have the
same advantage.
Several years ago a number of towns
IN a neiShborinS State, all being on the
same line OF road, raised a, great cutlery
against discrimination, and finally rep
rcsentatiyes from these towns had
conference with the traffic mana ger OF
he road After hearing the complaints
he cut the discussion short by telling
the representatives to set together and
agree upon a schedule OF rates and he
would consider it favorably. Tho prop
sition was gladly accepted, but when
nc conference was held each town want
a an advantage over the other. and it
finally broke up in confusion. The traf-
&c manager was again seen, and the rep
resentatfves frankly confessed that they
were unable to agree among themselves
md that he would have to make the
rate for them.
Coming back to the original proposition,
we say that if tho railroads Of the coun-
try are permitted to pool rates, in our
opinion the evil of discrimination now
complained of will be reduced TO the
minimum.
