TOMORROW'S ELECTIONS.

General elections will be held
tomorrow in eleven Of the states
and the results in a few states
and cities will attract national at
tention.
The greatest interest centers
| perhaps in the election in Greater
New York, where the reform
forces which have controlled the
city for the past four years are
making desperate fight for life.
The result is doubtful. Lovers
of good government hope to see
Tammany again defeated, for
with another four year term the
good government forces should
accomplish much for the metro
polls.
From a political standpoint the
elections in Ohio and Maryland
excite the most concern. The is
sue in Ohio is simply the re-elec-
ton of Senator Hanna, the real
fight being for the control Of the
legislature although Tom John
son has made a spectacular cam
paign for governor. The result
in Maryland it is believed will re-
fleet in some measure the senti-
ment Of the whole country.
The Maryland election thus be.
comes the real center of national
interest. Naturally democratic
state the republicans are now in
control in Maryland and should
they be returned to power or
even defeated by a narrow mar
gin a republican victory will be
presaged for the national election
a year hence.

THE JOURNAL JUNIOR, MINNEAP

There were many beautiful Dulid-
ings Of clearest ice. These were
very grand and stately, and tho built
much like buildings Of present-day
America yet were built of ice, walls.
floors, roofs, even doors and windows
were ice The doors were merely
great blocks running in grooves,
while the windows, which were never
opened, were of the thinnest sheets.
OF these windows, however, there
was little need, for inside the build
ings it was very light since one could
look thru the walls just as one looks
at the stones in the bottom of a
frozen stream. In the yards around
the buildings were trees and shrubs
of ice, and at the private homes
there were flower gardens in which
wonderful ice flowers were seen; but
cold ice is a poor substitute for liv-
ing plants. In all this land I saw
no animals whatever. People skated
to and fro, going about their business
on their steel skates, which were one
of the few things in the land not
made of ice.
But one Of the strangest sights
was the sign, "Keep Off the Snow"
for what grass is to Americans snow
was to these people, who depended
upon ice for drinking water as well
as for many other things, and rarely
was a person seen who did not have
piece of ice in his mouth.

TO TEST NEW REVENUE LAW
Western Union Telegraph Company Opposes
tie Gross Earnings Plan.
SUPERINTENDENT HORTON TELLs way
Says IT f. Not Fair to Impose Same
Method Of Taxation on Telegraph
Property as IL Applied to
Express Companies.

The new revenue law enacted by the late
legislature is about to run up against It's
FIRST snag. The Western Union Telegraph
company threatens to make a legal test Of
the section which regulates it's taxation.
It may do this by proceeding directly with
a court case or il may take the defensive
by refusing to comply with the law In
making returns Of its taxable property.
The precise grounds have not been definitely
determined on.
The revenue law provides that telegraph,
telephone and express companies shall be
assessed upon their tangible property and
in addition thereto upon their gross earn
ings for one year as their franchise values.
1t is this feature which is Objectionable to
the Western Union. says Superintendent
Horton of Omaha.
~ am not prepared to say what our
people intend doing" said Mr.. Horton,
but they are not satisfied with the new
law. 1t is not fair 10 impose upon us the
same method Of taxation as is proposed to
regulate express companies. for the good
and sufficient reason that express COM
panies have scarcely any property taxable
as compared with what we have.
I'VE have valuable plants and systems
over the state-our own property-while
express companies rent most all the val
liable property they use, They have moth
ing to pay taxes on except their wagons,
horses and Office fixtures and such things
as that. Then again. this law is wrong,
because 1t is based on a false and erroneous
theory Of taxation. This franchise value is
all wrong. There is nothing equitable
or sane in that. The combination hxed Up
IN that section looks very much like
double taxation.
I'VE did not go down to tbs legislature
and try to prevent the passage Of this OF
any other law; we took no hand in the leg

business. We believe in letting the legis-
lRture attend TO It's own affairs and then II
