USE HARSH WORDS CONCERN
ING THE TUNNEL
NEGLIGENT; UNPRoGREss1vE
Is the Term Applied to the Company
for Failing to Take Measures
to Make the Tunnel More
Safe Than 1t lis.
SOME SUGGESTIONS OFFERED

ALBANY, N. Y, Feb. 1.-THE state
board of railroad commissioners TODAY
handed down its decision regarding the
recent disaster in the New York Central
railroad tunnel IN New York city. The
decision censures the company for allow
ing an inexperienced engineer to run a
train through the tunnel, anu recon-
mends that at some time in the future
the roof be taken off the tunnel, using
bridges at intersecting streets. However,
in this connection, it says that sucn a
change would be intolerable unless cleo
trtcity is substituted as the motive power
for rains and recommends legislation to
allow such change.
The commission finds that the company
''has been negligent, derelict and un-
progressive in failing to take measures
to increase its terminal facilities" and
that it has also been negligent in failing
to examine more closely into the quail
fications of new engineers"
Eight actions for damages, amounting
in the aggregate to Sl85,000 for injuries
received in the wreck in the New York
Central railroad tunnel in this city on
Jan. were commenced in the supreme
court at White Plains today.
The commission points to the interest
ing fact that in 1901 there were 177,45U
trains moved through the tunnel, an
average of over 486 per day. Therefore
the commission says, the B. SE o. tunnel
at Baltimore and the Liverpool tunnel
under the river Mersey bear no COM
parison to the New York Central tunnel
in respec- to traffic.

under a system which will raise the valu-
alton, only ruin can be expected. An
income tax will bring out all tangible,
and nearly all intangible property. OF
course, there are some scoundrelS who
will manage in some way to escape taxa

will help the farmer, and the prevalent
idea that the farmer is bearing more

is erroneous. Tax the farmer on his

bank about $S,OOO000; $3O0O,O0O of this be-
1Crgs to the country banks: We do not
want it, but take it to maintain the COM

We pay the country banks per cent
for their money. For the balance of our
deposits we are not paying anything. We
have no use for it. Money is too cheap.
There should be no tax on credits. The
great bulk of them are railroads bonds.
Take for instance Northern Pacific
bonds. The road pays taxes in every
state through which it runs. The prop
erty has paid the tax, and now you as

sumo to tax the bond, which is a mort
gage on the property I don't care how
drastic you make these laws, they will
be failures. Men will evade assessment
under such laws. You cannot keep these
men in jail Of course you might get
a few of the weaker fellows, but the big
ones would fight, and anyhow the jails
would not be large enough to hold those
who will refuse to list the credits.
1.-The commissions reports on banks
looks innocent enough, and reads well,
but it is not all that it seems The
present law touching assessment of prop
tutional provision for it, have always
been dead letters. And it came about
through the pressure of the agriculturistS
who wanted a low valuation for their
lands. City interests, banks and mer-
camille houses could not pay on a full
value when the farmers paid on only SO
per cent at the very outside. So eventu-
ally the banks got an agreement for an
its full capital stock, surplus and undi-
Vided profits. Our taxes last year were
$4,000. Under the proposed law they
would amount to $4,000 We would be
obliged to cut our capital in two.
'I cannot even guess the class of men
! this proposed law would benefit. Any
such law must dry up the source of
money supply. Again, tax the jobbers
on the products they have manufactured
in the duh months and must hold for the
market, and then dispose of them at
very narrow margin of profit, and the in
eVitable result will be that their facto-
ries will be closed and their employees
thrown out of work from January until
after the listing date, or the factories
will be moved over into wisconsin.
1t is all a local matter, at best We
have paid in local taxes since 1873 over
$600.0 From st. Paul only one-ninth of
the taxes raised goes to the state. From
Minneapolis it is little less, probably
one-tenth. Our largest dry goods estab-
lishments work on such small margins
that they must sell $2,000O00 worth of
grocers do business for profit Of less
