The Davenport Crusade.

Special to Times-Republican.
Davenport, Jan. 27.4The moral cru
sade in this city Is making good pro-
gress. The Ministerial Association
yesterday morning adopted resolutions
commencing the mayor for closing the
manding tina these evils be extirpated
for good. Very Rev. James Davis
augurated the crusade, today declared
that IL the saloons did not accept the
liberal offer OF midnight and Sunday
morning closing the saloon interests
would find that the OF good
citizenship were not exhausted here.
This plain threat to invoke the mulct
law caused a sensation. Davenport
has 100 saloons run in entire disregard
OF all the provisions of the mulct law
and an attempt to enforce the law
would be a great innovation.

Representative Littlefield Has
Prepared a Report to Ac-
company Bill
DISCUSSES TRUST QUESTION
It Goes Into the Subject Deeply and
comprehensively - over-capitaliza-
ton Declared to Be One Of the Great.
est Evils in Connection With the
Question-some Points Considered.

washington, Jan. 27.-A report pre-
pared by Representative Littlefield to
accompany the antitrust bill reported
to the house by the Judiciary committee
was presented yesterday. The report
treats OF the trust question at great
length. Speaking Of the bill reported,
1t says its purpose is more effectively
to regulate and control. on conservative
tons, which in their operation prove in
furious to public welfare" "Also that
it involves the idea of publicity and adj
ditional legislation to prevent discrimi-
nations by rebate. or special privileges
upon the part Of railroad companies"
The report reviews the provisions of
the bill and discusses reasons for their
enactment into law. It seems to place
most Of the blame for increased prices
upon over-capitalization and says that
"over-capitalization involves the neces.
sity Of declaring a dividend upon over
capitalization equal to q dividend upon
actual value, thus giving the stock
earning capacity and creating an arti-
fetal market value"
The report says that the reduction Of
price to the consumer. which it was said
would result from the aggregation of
large capital, "is in practice seldom at
tanned" The report does lot believe
any OF these corporations yet organ
lied have ever been dominated by or
organized for the altruistic purpose of
reducing the prices to consumer. To.
what extent we are now paying exorb-1
liant prices to produce abnormal re-
turns no one can tell" says the report,
authority, state or national, that give
any adsquats information on that point.
This is one OF the things this bill seeks
to accomplish. It is thru the facility
offered for Over-capitalization that the
promoters of great combinations, form
ed from independent corporations and
business concerns, get their
enormous fees"
Continuing, the report declares that
"over-capitalization furnishes a con-
venient opportunity for c%oncealing the
profitable character of the enterprise"
end says there are Instances where
corporations have increased their a p
italization 100 per cent in order that
would appear to be only a 6 per
cent dividend was really, say, q IL per
cent dividend, and thus avoided the
danger of making their employees un-
easy and restlye because they were not
receiving in wages a fair proportion of
the earnings OF the business"
The report believes that the public
ity proposed by the bill will go far to-
ward ameliorating oppressive condi-
It concludes with the opinion
IL "the searchlight of publicity"
can be turned upon h present sNua-
ton, ut Is doubtful If the persons re-
sponslble for such reprehensible condi-
tions could long stand the well directed
indignation that would be thus
aroused"

TAXATION OF RAILWAYS.
Wisconsin Legislature May Change
system in That State.

Madison, Wis, Jan. Pin its second
biennial report, issued yesterday. the
Wisconsin state tax commission renews
its recommendation. made W. years
ago, for taxing the railroads of the state
on their valuation, instead of on the Ii
cense fee basis. A strong argument is
made by the commission against the
taxation OF credits, with a dissenting
opinion to this recommendation by Sec
ond Assistant Commissioner Haugen.
Taxation Of inheritance is strongly rec
commended, and it is probable that the
legislature will re-enact, with proper
changes, the law recently declared un-
constitutional.
Great pains have been taken by the
| commission to ascertain the value OF
the real estate upon which X are
paid directly by some of the railroads:
the real estate values, together with the
worth of bonds of roads operated in
other states, have been deducted from
the total valuations of he roads, in or
der TO avoid any possible duplication.
| With these allowances in favor Of the
roads the commissioners show that If
the ad valorem method of taxation We're
adopted by Wisconsin the railroads of
the state would have to pay nearly ST.
600, 900 moro taxes han they are now
paying. If they paid according to their
valuation.
In computing what the railroads are
worth the commissioners use a three
years average, a seven years average.
and a ten years average of the stocks
and bonds, and also the value obtained
by capitalization of the net earnings at
|6 per cent.
The commission makes no claims
that the ad valorem method OF assess
ment would be perfect: they present it
as the nearest approximation they have
been able to reach of a just method of
taxing the railroads. They recommend
strongly that if the ad valorem system
should be put into effect the work OF
assessing the railroads Should be put
into the hands of a state board.
BY the capitalization method-capi-
talizing at 6 per cent the average net
earnings reported by the railroads
themselves for the last five years-the
total value for the railroads in the state
is shown as $252,433.S61, a somewhat
higher value than is secured by adding
stocks and bonds with land value de-
ductions.

The Horse Market.

Chicago, Jan. 27.-Trade on the horse
market started out brisk Monday. and
prices were about steady with last
weeks average. Official receipts last
week were $3.50. This number was too
strong for the condition OF the market,
with the special sale in the anphi-
theater values settled to a lower level
last week. Indications are fair for q
recovery of the lost ground, and light
receipts will have a salutary effect on
market conditions. The quality was
about the same as the usual Monday
RIM and the best of the offerings
showed more activity than at the close
last week. While the market was a
little more active, there is not much
encouragement for heavier shipments.

This cool wave will not be severe It
