one time for d certain price and at
another time for one half as much or
twice as much. Nor is the record a
sure guide as to the price paid. The
deed may show fictitious amount,
and often does. Property may APP
preciate in value or depreciate, ac-
cording to circumstances. Primarily
it may be assumed that property is
valuable in proportion to the income
it will produce. This being so does
not this fact give us hint in esti-
mating the valuation for taxation ?
And this being so the question will
be raised: Why not tax the income?
But that is just what has been done
with reference to the railways. We
shall see whether the new plan to
tax the railways according to their
assumed value is better than the old.

Taxation of Railways.

The ad valorem taxation of rail
way property is, perhaps, the pro-
per method. By this method rall-
way property pays taxes like other
property, in accordance with the as
sumed value. Real estate being a
fixture and always in evidence taxes
are supposed to be assessed upon
this class of property with absolute
equality and yet we know from
observation that this is far from be-
ing so. The. law requires that all
property shall be assessed at its act
ual valuation. There is no posi-
bilitv of mistal1ing the law. The
difficulty in the situation is in deter
mining the |'valuation." What rule
shall be adopted in determining the
value of real estate? The tax COM
missioner instructs assessors to this
effect: oThe valuation of the pro-
perty is what it will sell for" That
is Just as plain as the statute law.
but no more definite as a guide. A
piece of property may be sold al

In recent issue of the JOURNAL
we called attention to the fact that
there was a growing demand with
in the last few years for a revival of
the study of Latin in secondary
schools. In confirmation of this
statement friend sends us the last
annual Report of the Inspector of
High Schools of Minnesota, calling
our attention especially to the data
therein relative to the study Of
Latin in High schools of the state.
In Minnesota 1873 of the 143 High
schools graduated classes with a
total of 1893 students last year. The
enrolment was 1878, of which
number o,863 studied Latin, while
in 1894-5 but 4,8I3 pursued this
study.

Reviewing the recent publication
of the Wisconsin Geological and
Natural History Survey on High
way Construction we notice that
there is a scant record of road and
sidewalk building in Pierce county.
The location and general appear
ance of the face of the country is
given and a paragraph is devoted to
the geological features. "The coun-
ty is in the region covered by the
earlier glacial deposits but the pres
ent topography is largely result of
stream erosion. A greater part of
the country is underlain with Lower
Magnetism limestone, although the
more elevated ridges and table lands
in the central and northern sections
are capped with Trenton limestone.
Between the Trenton and Lower
Magnetism limestones occurs an in
termediate Of St. Peters Sandstone. +"

An instance of the potency Of
words in history is seen in the Greek
word meaning city-"polis." We
have the word in combination in the
names of many American cities
Annapolis, Indianapolis, Minneapo-
lis, etc. And there are many words
peculiarly expressive that derive
their origin and present application
from things at one time peculiar to
cities: Policy, polity, police, politi-
clan, polite, land the negative-im-
politic) and polite-politeness. All
these derive their present significance
from the manners of associated peo-
Piles. The city was the first aggre-
CATION of men. Politics pertained
to the government of cities, polite
ness to the conduct of polished men,
men of leisure in the city. The
word "civic'', of Latin origin, has a
meaning allied to the above, but
with special reference to the people,
the 'scives'- citizens, the inhabitants
of the city.

Republicans in convention make
it prominent feature of business to
endorse the administration and to
resolve that President Roosevelt
should be the nominee of the party
in 1904. So far no voice has been
raised against this issue. The demand
that President Roosevelt should
be the president for another term is
SO nearly unanimous among Repub-
licans that there is in fact no doubt
of his nomination next year.

Aqua CaIiente.

ne following extract is taken
from letter in the Superior Eve
ming Telegram written by Judge
Charles Smiths wife who passed
the winter in southern California.
The letter was written from Aqua
Caliente-Hot Springs.
"In the days of Spanish Land
Grants there was claimed to have
been given to one Warner $4,000
acres. This immense tract Of graz
ing country lies among the valleys
and canyons of the mountains which
divide the western half of San Diego
county from the eastern half, or the
"desert." To reach it requires
journey of seventy miles from San
Diego, about forty-five of it by stage
coach, climbing to an altitude of
nearly four thousand feet. Ramona
is the largest town by the way,
prettily nestled in the heart Of Santa
Maria valley. The ride up to
Warmers ranch house is most beau
tiful. Up and down the most
picturesque canyons, over stretches
of valley carpeted with millions of
the daintiest flowers, everywhere
surrounded by wild and rocky
mountains. These fertile valleys,
with their live oaks, sycamores
along the creeks, their manzanitta
thickets and masses of flowers, are
great surprises. Laboriously climb
ing among the rocks one begins to
think himself near the top of the
world when with a short whirl
around some spur of mountain and
there! A perfect little Eden! Lit
tie s'Beulah'' lands if cultivated, but
they are not and these tremendous
grants do away with settling up
the country. In all that distance
we passed only three or four Indian
huts with little patch of cultivated
ground. Not sign Of civilization
unless one wishes to call this one.
We did not stop long at the
Warner ranch house-the springs
are three miles beyond right up
close to the foot of the mountain
divide. When the United. States
government promised in its treaty
with Mexico TO recognize the rights
of these Gland grants" made by
Spain, it got itself into trouble as is
now SO we'll known. Bogus claims
were made, frauds were perpetrated,
"three square miles" was made to
read Hthree miles square" and bound
airy lines got into bad tangle. The
Mexican owners gave here and there
tracts of land to Indian tribes, or
families, with no written statements,
deeds or patents. Just a promise
that such and such should be the
Indians land always. The Indian,
innocently, and with childish cred
ulity, believed if he built fence
around the tract or in some such
simple way marked it, he was Sc
cure. All went well and happily
until settlers began to want to come
in and the government began to see
what it had to sell; then began the
conditions so wildly described by
"H. H." in "Ramona." When titles
and patents were righted the de-
scendants of the Mexicans felt them
selves robbed by those "American
hounds" in the words of Sonora
Mornes, and the poor Indians were
left homeless and helpless. A large
tract of land lying adjacent to, and
including the springs, has as the
Indians say, belonged to them al
ways. "Fathers always lived here,
fathers died and were buried here:
we want to always live here and be
buried with our fathers"

Strikes of workmen in various in
dustries are in frequent evidence.
This unrest is primarily an evidence
that the workman desires to better
his condition by the right and OPP
portunity to proper share of the
profits Of his labor. Strikes are
costly but they generally pay, for in
most cases the workmen secure the
advantage.
