The British and the Blockade.

There is no question of the sincerity of
English public opinion in criticizing the
ministry for it's course, but the proof of
the way in which official England led
rather than followed Germany in the mat

in this country less harsh perhaps, in
their conclusions as to German conduct
in the affair. Were it not for an abiding
conviction in this country that the Erit-
ish ministry misrepresents the nation in
this matter, the Venezuelan incident would
have had the effect of arousing bitter
feeling against England. twas probably

Some misconception of the attitude of
the Womens Federation toward the prop
[osition to have woman's prison, separate
band distinct from the girls reformatory
or industrial school, having gained circu-
lation, The Journal makes an au-
thorized statement of the ease to-day
which, we are glad to say, relieves the
federation of the discredit of having
looked with any degree of toler-
ance upon the proposition to combine
the two institutions. When it comes to
putting thieves, street walkers and other
varieties of female criminals into the
same institution, though in separate build
| ings, with girls whose worst offense is in
Ecorrigibility, disobedience, waywardness,
and who are held for the purpose of cor
recting these tendencies, the state would
better go out Of the reformatory business
altogether. The reputation of the insti-
tuition and of its worst inmates and the
name of having been committed to such
an institution, no matter upon what ac-
count. is bound to follow all who come out
from it. IT would be a cruel outrage ito
subject the girls of the Industrial school
to such reatment

A Good Wisconsin idea.

If, the Wisconsin legislature adopts the
bill offered to it by the tax commission
there will be practical and definite de-
termina ton in that state whether railway
companies at customary gross earnings
taxation rates contribute more or less to
the public revenues, in proportion to the
value of their property, than do persons
and corporations paying taxes at a fixed
rate on assessed valuation. -
The common impression is that a rail-
way company paying gross earnings tax
of s or per cent bears a lighter burden
of taxation than property directly taxed.
Public Examiner Johnson suggested in his
annual report that an official investigation
of this question in Minnesota would be a
good thing. = But perhaps now we can"let
Wisconsin do the Investigating for US.
The Wisconsin bill referred to is a
lengthy one, but the feature to which. we
roughly described as providing for the
trial of both the gross earnings and prop
erty valuation systems side by side, during
the years 1904 and 1905, If during those
years the gross earnings or license tax,
as they call it in Wisconsin, is greater
for any company than the direct taxation
method would make the tax, the differ
ence is to, be refunded #, on the other
hand the license tax is found to be less
| than the direct taxation amount, the diff
! ference is to be paid by the Company.
Of course, the effect of this measure is
| to introduce, the direct taxation system al
once, but it gives the assessment board
two years within which to create a good
system of assessing railroad property in.

franchises, and at the same time will pro

rather difficult to explain just why the

rapid fire dialogue, a. ghost of a plot, hard

are usually stirred into the regulation

failure is. due as much to the low tone Of

There is another reason why Minnesota
should pay the promised bounty to the
St. Louis sugar factory that has not been
mentioned heretofore, SO far as we have
noticed. The act of 1899 provided that
the sugar company should pay a certain
specified price per ton for beets and fur
nish vouchers to that effect, before it
could ask for any bounty money. That
condition was undoubtedly complied with
as a necessary part Of the company's side
Of the agreement. 1t could not hope to
collect any money as bounty till proof of
compliance with this condition was forth
coming. After having required the COM
pany to paylthe farmers stipulated price
| for beets it is peculiarly unhandsome and
! shabby for the state to repudiate the
promise made in consideration of that re-
[ quirement. No private individual could
I maintain his credit who repudiated his
obligations, as it is proposed the state
of Minnesota shall repudiate hers. r h e
| ] o.u + n al is opposed to the bounty and
subsidy idea. and would not favor such q
I bounty as this in the first place, but that
has, absolutely nothing to do with keep
fling a promise accepted and acted upon in
good faith. The people. who oppose this
/ claim wouldn't be willing to be regarded
as following in their own private affairs
athe rule they favor for the state.
