most beautiful cities in the world and
would go into raptures over the blue

1t will doubtless strike many read
ers as decidedly odd when they are
informed that there exist within the
city of Philadelphia three toll gates,
through which no horse or vehicle may
pass without paying a direct tax for
the privilege. Toll roads and toll
gates in suburban districts may have
some reason for existence, but it is
certainly an anomaly to find them
within the corporate limits of one of
the greatest cities of the country. An
ordinance authorizing the Mayor to
negotiate for the purchase of the toll
gates has been introduced in the Sc
lect council of Philadelphia.

II was thought that when the Phil
ippine government went out of the
market for silver. for the new COIN
age, the effect would be felt in a de-
cline in the price of the metal. But
no such thing has occurred. Silver
continues strong and with AM up
ward tendency. A day or two ago
the price of silver touched 1928 cents
an ounce in London. The bullion
value Of the silver in the new Philip
pine coin is equal to the market value
when silver sells at GAL per ounce. I'm
less the market goes above that figure
there will be no danger of the expor-
tation Of the coins from the islands:
but should the price go fraction over
CAL the coins would become more val
liable as silver than as money.

The heavy registration of voters for
the New York municipal election
shows that interest in the contest has
been worked up to high pitch. Both
sides are expressing confidence in the
outcome. The fusionists claim that a
heavy registration augurs we'll for
them, since the conservative, stay-at-
home vote is aroused. But at this
distance, and judging from what ap-
pears in the public prints, it looks very
much as If an old-time Democratic
victory would be rolled up at the polls
1t has been shown that fusion means
Republican domination, with Boss
Platt in control, and the people of
New York do not trust Boss Plat.

Electricity as a motive power for
trunk line railroads is to be tried in
Switzerland. The electrical currents
are to be generated at the waterfalls
that are SO numerous in the little re-
public. With water wheels transform
ing the rushing mountain streams into
power for the railroads. the consump-
tion of coal will cease. Since Switzer-
land must import all of her coal. it
will be seen that the change of mo-
tive power from steam to electricity
means great economy in the long run.
Hydraulic power plants that will sup
ply $4,000 e-power-enough to on
crate the five main lines of road in
the country-are already practically
available and the country's resources
for such power has not been seriously
trenched upon; twice as much power
could be obtained if it were needed.
The experiments in electrical proDul-
sion on the Swiss trunk lines will be
1Watched with interest by engineers

B. H. robson, PRESIDENT
OFFERS A FEW SUGGESTIONS TO
p THE PEOPLE OF THE GREAT
AND GROWING WEST
REGARDING
THE BANKERS RESERVE LIFE
In An Interview Which 1t VIII Pay
All Insurers and Would-Be In
surers to Read.

Eyes, I believe the Bankers Reserve
Life association will have $4,000, GOO
at risk upon selected lives in the west
by the close of 1903." said B. H. Rob-
ison, president Of that vigorous and
successful life insurance company.
"You see the people of the west
learned a lesson during the panic
which they are not likely TO forget.
Practically all our savings drifted to
the money centers of the east during
the prosperous years preceding 1898.
I'VE were not only large borrow
ers, paying immense interest charges,
but practically all our insurance in
vestments were with eastern compa-
nies.
"They collected $15,000,0O0 in prem
iums during ten years. This large
sum was made up of the savings of
our policy holders. The bulk of it
was loaned back to us at high rates
of interest. In other words, we were
paying interest on our own money.
"This constituted a double draft
upon our resources. We first sent our
savings east. We then paid interest
on the same money and sent that
east. When the panic came we were
called upon not only to repay the
mortgages, but the interest charges

The Experience Which Came to the
Man on the Box

The coachman can tell many an in
teresting story. All sorts of experi-
ences come to him and the long hours
on the box are not so monotonous as
one might suppose. When he
chooses, Austin Roe, a cOachman, liv-
ing at No. 20 West Liberty street,
Wilkesbarre, Pa, can entertain a list
ener for hours, telling in his original
way of the things that have happened
to him.
'It is hard life," he says, "and it
is no wonder when one of us breaks
down. For myself, the exposure and
lack of sleep ran me down in health
last winter till I became a shadow.
Oftentimes | had to take to my bed
with a fever running my temperature
way up. ] had cold good part OF
the time. my head was always dizzy
nv stomach was out of order and my
limbs stiff. / grew thin, was tired

box made me feel better and a few
more made me all right Now | am

ommend DR.. Williams Pink Pills to
all my friends who seem to need a
tonic"
The best tonic medicine in the
world is Dr. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People. Mr.. Roe is only one
out of thousands all over the world
who have found this out by personal
experience. This medicine, unlike any
other, acts both on the blood and
nerves, builds up the system and cures
where ordinary preparations fail Dr.
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
are not only a tonic, but have cured
such diseases as locomotor ataxla,
partial paralysis, st. Vitus' dance,
sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism, ner-
vous headache, the after-effects OF the
grip, palpitation of the heart, pale and
sallow compilations and all forms OF
weakness in either male or female

pie are sold by all dealers or will be

PAupER RAIL ROADS
Making the Customary Poor Mouth Before
state Board of Equalization

The annual farce has begun of pre-
tending to assess the railroads OF Ne
braska. Under date of May the
World-Heralds Lincoln correspondent
says:
The state board of equalization be-
gan it's session this afternoon at z
O'Clock. Nearly score of representa-
tives of Nebraska railroad interests
were present and the time was given
over to allow them to present their
claims for consideration, as the first
business of the board will be to. can
vass the returns made by the rail-
roads as to the value of their prop
erty and fix their assessment accord
ingly.
Without exception those representa-
tives who spoke asked reduction in
their assessment of one-half and over.
The extreme poverty of the roads
coupled with the prosperity OF Ne
braska farms and property was deftly
argued.
Frank Crandon, representing the
Elkhorn, made the first argument in
behalf of the board. He stated that
the values oe the railroads as fixed
by the last assessment are represented
to be one-seventh of the value of all
the property of the state. Then he
proceeded to show by map that all
the railroad property of the state could
be included within the area of five
townships and insisted that it was
impossible for one-seventh of the
property of the state to be included
within that area, in fact, that not
more than one-twentieth could be so
incorporated.
Mr.. CrandoA stated that with the
exception of the depots at Omaha and
a few other structures, the railroad
buildings of the state were little bet
ter and in some cases no better than
buildings erected for the accommoda.
tion of cattle. He stated that any
one who took the value of the stocks
and bonds of road as the criterion
of the taxable worth of that road did
not know his business, as the stocks
and bonds simply represented the
right of the holder to receive a per
cent of the dividends declared.
The Elkhorn, he said," is simply

as well. We all know what hap
pened.
"The organization of great fduciary
institutions in our midst became A
commercial necessity. We must have
within our own control the surplus
which balances trade and prevents
Anancial stringency.
''In these years of great plenty we
can hoard or own savings and when
times Of distress come the simple
process of transferring our money
from one pocket to the other will
make panic less destructive.
"The Bankers Reserve Life Asso-
citation sends 10 money to the Allan
tic seaboard. Its surplus remains in
this state and financial cataclysms
cannot put it into money vaults where
no benefits can be enjoyed from it.
"On this theory Of home patronage
we are inviting western people to help
us while we help them in return.
1T is a straight business PROPOSE
ton, and the people are becoming ea-
lightened upon the subject. Hence
the Bankers Reserve Life writes more
business in Nebraska, it's home state,
where it is best known, than any COM
petitor.

their life insurance in the Bankers

keaning even with its earnings. they
being sometimes even less than the
operating expenses. He did not deny
that the state had right to tax the
franchise value of road, but insisted
that the right understanding should
be had of what a franchise is, merely,
that it is the opportunity which the
charter to do business gives corpora
tion to make profits.
The road which he represented, he
said, could be reproduced for $lO,0c0
mile. 1t was assessed last year at
$3,tvv mile. Taking the average as
sessment of other property on the
actual value he figured that the road
was assessed on value of $4,000 per
mile The $4,000 difference, he said.
represented the franchise value, which
was altogether too much Would the
board please cut down that assessment
materially.
Manager Bidwell and Mr.. Whitney
of the Elkhorn spoke briefly corrobor-
ating the statements OF Mr.. Crandon.
S. l.. Higleyman appeared for the
Missouri Pacific and asked that the
assessment of last year OF $lO,OO0 on
the belt line at Omaha be reduced to
the former figures of $4,000 as this
was satisfactory to the county COM
missioners of Douglas county and the
road was worth very little and did no
business to speak of any way.
R. D. Pollard appeared for the Bur-
lington and quoted at length from the
statements prepared some time ago
by the railroad and published in the
daily papers. He argued from these
! that the railroads were being grossly
abused, and mistreated, while the peo-
pie shirked the great burden OF taxes
which they should bear. He asked
| that the assessment of that road be
reduced from the $4,000 of last year to
So, 900 per mile.
A. w. Scribner presented the claims
of the Union Pacific and insisted that
that was a much abused and misrep-
resented road. He showed how the
figures which had been returned as
the value of that road, including real
estate and rolling property, was fixed
at the highest possible value. By
these figures hes showed that the act
ual value of the tangible property OF
| the main line of the road amounted to
$32, 1854 mile, while the road was as
sessed at $4,000 a mile, one-third OF
the value, while the people only paid
from one-seventh to one-eleventh ei
their property He showed that the
| branches were assessed at the same
rate and asked that these amounts be
very materially decreased.
On the real estate of the road, he
said that the returns had been made
from examination of tax commission
ers' reports in the several counties
| and fixed the value of the railroad
real estate from the value of the ad-
joining property, raising it bit. He
showed a map which indicated what
property was taxed locally and ques-
toned if Omaha had a right to tax
locally the shops located in that mu-
nicipality.
Other railroad representatives who
were present were Cooper of the Rock
Island, B. G. Hoyt of the Elkhorn, +.
