WEDNESDAY,, DECEMBER %, 1904.

The press of the state is again dis
cussing the advisability of enactlng
legislation 10 change the time for the
payment of taxes. 1t is pointed out
that it would be less burdensome to
pay these taxes at any other time than
as fixed by law at present. Inc heao

ses in the dead of winter, such as fuel,
clothing and Christmas presents ana

makes hard problem. By changing
the time for the payment OF taxes TO
the summer season, when the home
wants are less urgent, it would I'M

lieve this change would be heartily

AS stated, these great concerns
spend an enormous amount to compile
a catalogue, then pay from forty to
seventy dollars per inch to advertise

You are at no expense compiling a
catalogue. Think of the enormous

must meet, doing business in large

your clerk hire exceedingly low. In
connection with the rest, wish to add
that a careful Investigation shows that

The Mail Order Business.

Tt is safe to say that nothing IS so
alarming to the merchants and bust
ness men of the smaller cities, than
the proportions which the mail order
business of such houses us Sears. 10
buck & Co. is assuming. Some OF our
business men candidly admit that the
volume of their holiday trade this year
is not as large as in former seasons,
and the cause to great extent Is un-
doubtedly the mail oruer house.
which is reapir G enormous profits since
the ad ven5 of the rural routes. This
Is not mere theory, but substantlated
bv facts. For example, in single
neighboring village post-office where
eighty-fve money orders were issued
in less than a month, nearly two thirds
were sent tC Sears, RObuck q 20.
Other offices 40 doubt would show
like percentage of orders issued In ia
yor of the mail order houses. Is it not
therefore high time that there DC IN
auourated concerted action on the
part of local merchants to check this
enormous withdrawal OF money from
the country districts? We believe the
only effectual manner in which this
can be done is to fight these catalogue
houses at their own game, in other
words, to advertise more extensively.
A writer in the OconOmOwOc Enter
prise, in discussing this subject makes
the following worthy suggestions:
MY plan to increase the business OF
our city is TO try and check the over
flowing business which is being done
between the farmers and these larger
Chicago firms TO start with. it is
evident that while our business men
are maintaining markets for the farm
ers, assisting in making roads to these
markets, and doing all they can to as
sist the farmers, the mail order houses
that have not one cent of interest here.
do not buy a cents worth Of the farm
er's crops, nor contribute a cent to the
welfare of this community. yet are get
ting portion of the trade, and our
business men feel that this is an in
justice.
''In championing the side of the To-
cal merchants we havs been led to be-
lieve that. quality considered, their
prices are as low or lower than the
mail order houses, and. also. in every
way the freight must be added, thus
making the mail order prices even
higher.
1.-The great mail order concerns
spend thousands Of dollars to compile
and circulate their enormous and at
tractive catalogues They also spend
many thousands of dollars in advertis-
ing in the expensive mediums, the
mail order journals, often paying rates

the local merchant realizes why
those big concerns spend so much
money on their catalogues and this
exceptionally expensive advertising.
One of the principal reasons is, be-
cause the publishers Of the country

loyal friends, they stand by you and
refuse to accept the advertisements of
these large mail order concerns. 1t is

advertisements that they would use a

Buy DANCING PRIVILEGES.

A custom that has existed for some
centuries is still intained in certain
towns on the II Rhine. Early in
the year-on auction day-the town

tradctive maidens, sells to the highest
bidder the privilege of dancing with

first session of the ffty-ninth congress.
When the Philippine public improve

ton Of the right of the Philippine
government to fix the rates to be
charged by such roads. So attractive
did the proposition seem that ten.
Republican senators, including senator
formerly attorney generaD Knox.
voted for it. The amendment was
however, only coup Of partisan
politics for the reason that the Organic
act of the Philippines provides that no
charter shall be issued to any rail
road except on the understanding that
the Philippine government shall have
the right to fix the rates charged.
The most important provision of the
Philippine public improvement bill
was the railroad section which was
completely redrafted by Senator
Spooner just before the passage of the
act. This section authorizes the
Philippine government to guarantee
four per cent interest, for period of
thirty years, on bonds issued in return
for funds actually invested in system
of Philippine railroads. AS redrafted
this section makes the bonds on which
interest is guaranteed first lien on
the railroads and also constitute any
interest advanced by the government
from possible loss resulting from bad
or fraudulent management.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent.

The presidents energetic advocacy
of some measure providing for federal
control of railway rates promises to
bear fruit, although it is unlikely that
such legislation will be enacted at this
session of congress, and it is also i'm
probable that the power to fix rates
will be conferred on the Interstate
commerce commission. No one ap-
preciates these facts better than the
president, but he explains that no man
ever drove home a nail with just the
necessary amount of force and no more
and then he proceeds to strike sledge.
hammer blows on every member oil
either house of congress who calls al
the White house. The result is that
members of congress, as we'll az some
of the leading railway officials. have
become convinced that the time has
arrived when something must be done
and they are putting their heads toge.
Their with view to devising satisfac-
tory law.
The fact is that the problem is most
complex and it's solution is not easy.
1t has always been the policy of this
government to preserve intact, so fan
as possible. the three coordinate bran
ches of the government, the executive.
legislative and judicial. The supreme
court has held that the determination
of what constituted a just rate was a
Judicial function, whereas the fixing OF
future rate was legislative function
and the Interstate commerce commits
sion is largely an executive body, act
ing under the direction of the presi-
dent. A fairly perfect law must take
cognizance of these facts and of pre-
vious supreme court decisions or il
will result in nothing but expensive
litigation, to be followed by it's nrllif-
cation. These are a few o. the legal
perplexities Of the problem.
The practical features of The pro-
blem are almost equally complex.
Railroad rates vary in different Sec
tons of the country, but so do the cost
of railway construction and operation,
Again, certain railroads grant certain
reductions in rates with a view to

their road, notably the commodity
rate" Again. granted for much the
same purpose is the "milling in transit
rate" whereby certain roads grant
special rates On raw materials manu-
featured at some point on their line
and reshipped as finished product.
For these reasons railroad rates
seem bound to vary even in given
section OF the country and the commits
sion or body which attempts to define
what does and what does not constitute
a fair rate and to prescribe a just rate
will be confronted by knotty task.
One point is certain, however, and
that is that good will come out of the
