Steamship Corporation and Tim

LOS ANGELES, Dec. .1s.-The war
between the Pacific Coast Steamship
Company and the local lumber compa-
MES is approaching a crisis. General
Manager W. z. Pearce of the steam
ship company arrived in the city yes
terday and is in consultation with local
officers of the company on the situa-

of the fight Mr.. Pearce said:
I'VE have had no intimation from the
lumber companies that they want to
compromise the fight. There IS only
one compromise we will entertain, and
that is the abandonment BY the lumber

"A corner in lumber is impossible. No
man or set of men can corner the lum-

such idea as that. We are simply go

stay in it as long as the lumber COM

WEAVING A NET
ABOUT CRAVELLE
Sensational Testimony Is Given
in Northern Pacific Dyna-
miting Case in Montana

HELENA, Mont, Dec. 19-At the
trial of Isaac Gravelle. charged with
sending blackmailing letters to the
Northern Pacific and with dynamiting
trains, it developed to-day that the de-
fendant had written threatening letters
to a witness, Bert Caty, inclosing an
other of the same character, which
Caty was to mail to the foreman of
the jury. Gravelle undertook to SNUG
gle the letter out of the Lewis and
Clark County Jail about two weeks ago.
Caty is a witness for the State. In
a letter addressed TO him he was
warned that unless he went on the
stand and testified that the Northern
Pacific detectives had bribed him to
testify against the defendant his house
would be blown up. Inclosed was a
letter printed with pen and ink which
Caty was directed to mail to the fore
man of the jury. In this letter the
jurors were told that the defendant was
an innocent man and unless they ac-
quilted him their houses would be
blown up with dynamite. 1t ended, Be
ware of us, we are the dynamiters.
Much of the testimony was of expert
character. tending to show that the
handwriting of Gravelle was precisely
the same as that of the writer of the
blackmailing letters alleged by the
State to have been written by the de-
fendant The letter addressed to the
Great Northern and mailed at Cascade
October 8 demanding $4,000 was also
shown to be in the handwriting of Gra-
velle.

Stanward Baker, in writing of the CONF
mon people in the kaiser's nation, says:
.srhe Anglo Saxon policy is to cast the
bantling on the rock and let him work
out his own salvation thru temptation.
In Germany the policy is quite the re-
verse: the worlSingman is protected
from disciplining temptation, and ruled
in thousand ways by the government,
instead OF being allowed to rule HIM
self. American discipline is from with
in; German from without" Each has
its Objectionable features: in Germany
the tendency is to rob the citizen of his
individuality. In our republic, if the
home, the state, and ecclesiastical au-
thority fail to do their duties the child
may land in the states prison. The inn
portance of law enforcement, therefore,
can not be overestimated. 1t is vital to
the life of the nation.

ton that is sought so much as effec-
tive trust-control. Big trusts are not
necessarily bad because they are big
nor are smaller ones harmless because
of comparatively insignificant capital
stock. Labor unions are inevitable
and a power for good and in exactly
the same proportion power for evil.
The result will be that labor unions
must bear responsibility for their acts

TO EXEMPT MORTGAGES.
dubuque Times.

Wisconsins tax commission has re-
ported In favor of a law exempting
credits from taxation, the ground of the
report being that taxation OF credits Is
double taxation and furthermore is i'm
practicable. One member of the COM
mission dissents from both conclusions
and all agree in recommending an in
heritance tax law, tho unquestionably
this contemplates double taxation. A
struggle in the legislature is predicted,
Governor La Toilette having recon-
mended the listing of mortgages as
realty and the exemption of the realty
to the extent of the mortgage.
The effort to apply the general prop
erty tax to intangible property, ipclud-
ing those instruments of credit, such as
mortgages, which merely evidence In
terest in physical property already tax
ed, has failed both in Europe and the
United States. 1t does not follow that
the attempt to tax credits should be
abandoned. What follows is that Euro
pean governments have acted wisely in
applying the general property tax to
physical property only and In resorting
to special taxes to reach other forms of
property Wisconsin can not increase
her revenues by adopting Governor La
Follettes plan for catching mortgages.
This plan is merely a cumbersome
method Of exempting mortgages from
taxation. The revenue can be increas-
ed. however, by subjecting all mort
gares of record In the state to an an
nual registry tax. This is the plan pro-
nosed for New York and Minnesota,
and in the latter state a constitutional
amendment which will enable the legis-
lature to adopt 1t Is proposed. A regis
try tax operates equally. 1t can not be
evaded. It applies to all mortgages.

GOLD LEVY IN SOUTH AFRICA.

With the return OF peaceful condi-
tons in South Africa, and an attempt to
readjust affairs and make that section
bear it's proportionate share of the cost
ranged by Colonial Secretary Joseph
Chamberlain that the mine owners are
to pay $150,000,000 outright, and meet
the interest on an equal sum. AS the
war grew out OF a wrangle over these
mines, it would seem equitable that the
owners should submit to a large levy.
in view of the greater loss that might
have resulted had Great Britain failed
to accomplish her purpose. The sums
which the mines will furnish will not go
great way toward meeting the total
outlay, which reached the enormous
aggregate of about s1,1O0. 100000, not to
say anything of the great loss of life
and the tremendous strain upon the
British national vitality. Not since our
own civil war has a great empire been
so severely tested as Great Britain was
by the Boer war, owing to the distance
from the scene Of action, the expense Of
meeting great OUTLAWS and the hazard
of interference from other nations.
Well may the English congratulate
themselves that this contribution will
to some extent relieve the taxpayer.
It is expected that this new arrange
ment will greatly stimulate gold pro-
duction in the Rand district, and the
world may be prepared to hear of the
great output of the yellow metal that
occurred In the years just before the
war began. The present plan of the
mine owners is to introduce Chinese
cheap labor, and the gold regions will
be worked to their full capacity.
