HIKING RENT AND TAXES

One of the representatives of the franchise
holding corporations which are going to appeal
their fight against the franchise tax law to the
Supreme Court thus explains the theory Of their
action:
We go TO the United States Supreme Court on
the theory that the franchise was granted TO US
on condition that we would do certain Things ID

centage of earnings, and on its part the city

the property, on the ground that taxation Is

granted TO him the enjoyment without further

economists ought sIl to rewrite rheir BOOKS

LAWYERS the old definitions had been exploded
and no distinction was recognized any longer
between rent and taxes. Judge Earl. OF
course. held that what the corporations had
for the use of city property Judge Fann and
the rest of the Court of Appeals said the same
thing But they were trained to primitive
views Of nolitical science OF course If the rail-
roads and gas companies, instead Of using city
streets. found It more convenient to acquire
easements in private property they would clear
" recognize that their payments were IN the
nature of rent. and had nothing to do with any
taxes which the State might levy on the value
Of those easements But somehow or other they
have figured out that the case is different when
rubIic property is secured for private use.
II does not seem to have occurred TO these
learned economists that while the city lets them
use its streets II IS the State authority that
Ievies the taxes. The city can make no con-
tract deriving the State CT its plenary taxing
mower It matters not what the contracts be-
tween the city and the corporations provided
The city granted only what it had the power
to grant. Even if it could promise so far as

THE UNION HOME FOR ENGINEERS.

From the time when Mr. Carpegfes offer OF
the money wherewith TO build common home
was made known to the five engineering So
cieties in this city, it seemed probable that at
least three would eagerly accept About the
Others there was room for doubt The mining
engineers are not Incorporated, and it has been
understood that they did not want to be- the
obstacle to such a step is merely technical, ana
can easily be overcome. Entirely unforeseen
circumstances have arisen, and will undoubt-
edIy lead that body to look at the question IN
a new light. The civil engineers had me
new building of their own, to which they had
become attached, and they were naturally re-
luctant 20 change. Moreover, local periodical
which might be supposed to represent them
discredited the idea Of cooperation, ana
thought that not one vote out of ten in the So
ciety would be cast In its favor. From the
editorial attitude Of another periodical En-
cheering News 1t quickly became evident
that in some quarters the project was warmly
favored. From the tenor of letters from SUD
scribers In last weeks issue moreover. 1t would
seem that about five civil engineers approve the
idea to one who is opposed. Thus the OUTLOOK
has distinctly improved in the last three weeks.

the outside world cannot help forming opinions
of its own. Afiliation, which involves no sacrl-

vantage in such organizations as the American
and British Associations for the Advancement
of Science Astronomy and physics. physics
and mathematics. geography and geology
botany and zoology, are often grouped togetner
in the same section. while special lectures are
often given under the auspices Of two or three
sections at once. Sciences which are distinctly
different in name and apparently dissimllar ID
aim are often related in certain particulars
How much closer is the bond between the
branches of one profession! When the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company decided to estab-
lish a terminal in this city and adopt new
system Of traction, it found that it needed
the advice Of men familiar with the latest ad-
vances in civil, mechanical, mining and cleo
trical engineering. Is this instance unique! VIII
there not always be a need for cooperation be-
tween individual representatives OF these de-
partmentz of knowledge and between the S.

Of these respects is the State now free Slavery
in its worst forms exists, being practised Dy
European officials, and mere is a marked dis
elimination in favor Of Belgian trade against

charges which are circumstantially made by
men of standing and responsibility. ana Whlch
seem to be confirmed by current news

legal right of the powers to intervene. Ahe

guaranteed by the powers in 1880 Ii Is True
that in 1890 King Leopold hequeathed his SOW

charter of the State. But even II the congo

intervention would still prevail. since Bel
GUM itself is not in the full status Of an IN
dependent power, but is guaranteed state
like the Congo. 1t would seem to be only rea-

integrity and neutrality of a State should have
some authority over its affairs.
