THE SCHOOL TAX QUESTION.
state Superintendents' Petition ia
the Legislature.

State Superintendents' Petition to
the Legislature.
Dublin, Ga, May Tt has been dis
covered by the educators of Georgia
that no provision was made by the last
Legislature to obtain a vote in any
community on the local taxation uues-
ton for school purposes, even if the
proposed amendment to the constitu-
ton is ratified by the people at the
october election. In order to remedy
this defect, the County School Commits
sloners at the meeting in Dublin, pass
ed unanimously the following resolu-
ton introduced by County School Com
missioner M. L. Duggan of Hancock
county, secretary of the association:
Whereas, after the constitutional
amendment referring to local taxation
is ratified by the people at the general
elections, it appears that it will still
be necessary for further legislation by
q future Legislature providing for the
manner of calling for the local taxa
ton elections, ETC., thus postponing the
earliest possible time at which any
local taxation election can be held for
at least a year and half or two years,
therefore, he it
Resolved, That the present Legis-
lature be petitioned to so amend the
pending constitutional amendment at
its July session in advance of it's sub
mission to the people for ratification,
that it will provide fully the manner
of calling said election at any time aft
er its ratification, and without the ne
cessity of awaiting further legislation
subsequent to said ratification"

out in connection with the abandon
ment of the move for an extension of
the Erie Voting Trust surprises not
only Wall street, but the railroad
world generally. A large majority of
Erie securities were supposed to have
been owned outright by Eastern rail-
road interests concerned in maintain
ing harmony in the trunk line terri
tory. 1t turns out, however, that not
more than 20 per cent. of these securi-
ties are SO held at the present time.
The so-called important interests which
had importuned j. Pierpont Morgan
to continue his voting trust another
five years were only able to produce
about that percentage of the securi-
ties in support of the proposition. I'm
doubtedly they were very much more
largely interested in the property two
years ago. The inference is clear,
therefore, that they must have sold
out a large proportion of their hold
ings in the property and transferred
the load to the shoulders of the pub
lie. If that is true of Erie, why may
1t not be true of many other railroad
properties? The chances are that it
is true, and that on a showing of hands
ownership of New York Central, Penn
sylvania, Southern Railway, Baltimore
and Ohio and Atchison would be found
lodged with the public, the active man
agements being in the small minority.
The failure of the voting trust extern
sion scheme in Erie is generally con-
strued as a demonstration of waning
confidence in the infallibility of Mr..
Morgan. 1t also demonstrates a grow
ing desire on the part of real owners
of property to take charge of Their
own and dispense with the guardian
ship of self-nominated trustees.

RACE TRACK GAMBLING

panies in their war against bucket
shops. The telegraph companies man
agements have displayed amazing in
genuity in devising ways and means
of not helping the exchanges. The
contention has been that the telegraph
companies are common carriers and
are powerless to discriminate between
good and bad patrons. In this the
courts have in the main upheld the
telegraph companies a fact which has
stirred the good people to expressions
of profound Indignation.
The bucket-shop element has sneer-
ingly charged that the real motive be-
hind the crusade against them is a

shrinI<oxe of the whitney Estate.

The estate of the late William C.
Whitney is being put through a course
of rapid liquida ton. 1t is said to
have shrunken dismally in the pro-
cess. Wall street reports are current
that it will not amount to more than
100000 or s5,000,0O0 when all debts
are paid, instead of the $50, 000 900 to
25,000,000 claimed by the heirs a month
ago The sale of the Whitney mansion
on Fifth avenue to James Henry Smith
for s., 1000 600, was one of the most re-
cent moves for the reduction of the
estate to a cash basis. Silent" Smith,
as he is called, is believed to have
nearly doubled the value of the estate
inherited from his recluse uncle less
than four years ago. He is now rated
close to 100000, 600. He is we'll able
to indulge in the luxury of a 81, 900 900
palace. Mr.. Smith is personally almost
unknown in Wall street, although lie
visits that section everyday he is in
town. He is exceedingly quiet in his
movements and persistently avoids no.
toriety as financial power, although
he could easily make a great stir if he
desired.

desire on the part Of the big fish to
drive out or swallow UP the little fish,
and that from a strictly moral stand
point it is Just as wicked to gamble in
the big commission houses as in the
little shops where trades of ten shares
of stock or 1000 bushels OF grain can
be made. 1t is an old story and the
merits and dement's OF the controver-
sy have been threshed out for a gener-
alton, but apparently, the question is
no nearer settlement now than It was
at the beginning. Some great fortunes
have been made In the bucket shop
business and other fortunes are being
made, although men actively engaged

shopping could ever be brought The
reason is that they complied in every
particular with the rules laid down for
the performance of legitimate transac-
tons. Every order received was duly
executed, and could be followed from
the beginning to the end.
The bucket-shopping was done by
the execution of counter orders for ac-
counts of dummies or possibly to the
account OF some one whose oonneo-
ton with the Arm could not be es-
tabhshed. A very SUCCESSFUL repre-
sentative of this species of bucket
shopping said IN a confidential moment

smaller now than ever before.
The WOOdend Affair.
The accusation is made that the
Woodend concern of this city, which
went up the other day in a grand dis
play of red fire. was nothing but a
bucket shop. This charge has aroused
the Consolidated Exchange of New
York into a burst of investigation as
to the methods of several houses en-
joying membership privileges in that
body. There are hints that the in
quiry will result in the expulsion of a
number of members for Illicit prac-
tees
Only the careless, inexperienced or
Indifferent need suffer penalties for
running bucket shops. The machin-
cry of the exchanges can be success
fully employed to cover up bucket shop
transactions, and it naturally is so
used by many concerns masquerading
as reputable commission houses. There
are firms, some of them very rich, do
ing business on the New York Stock
Exchange and Chicago Board of
Trade, which have been under sus-
picion for many years, but against
whom no conclusive proof Of bucket

in copper speculation to wait until they
get the promised Lawson dividend be-
fore spending it.
A Record in Money Lending.
Vermilye & Co. broke the record a
day or two ago in the money market
by lending 100000 for one day at the
rate of II or per cent. The transac-
ton netted $1.49 in interest for the use
of $100, 900 for twenty-four hours. The
time of the clerks, messengers and
bookkeepers handling the securities
and conducting the deal from start to
finish was computed to represent about
$40. On the other hand, 1t was argued
that the clerical force had to be paid,
anyway, and that the $1.49 was clear
profit, but at any rate the return on
the money was mighty small. There
have been instances before where
money was loaned for one day at y
of 1 per cent. One per cent. is a COM
mon rate when money is very plenti-
full and the market extremely dull.
Many instances are narrated of thin
margins of profit on gold shipments.
Cases are known where $1,00O,000 in
gold has been shipped to Europe upon
which the principal has realized not
more than 500.

Talking About sehwnb Again.

They have gone to talking about
Charlie" Schwab again. His retire
ment from the Finance Committee of
the Steel Trust is made the excuse for
further free use of his name and all
sorts of talk is INDUCED in as to his
financial status. To satisfy curiosity on
this point it may be stated that Mr..
Schwab is still a very rich man. Per-
sons close to him affirm that he is in
reality stronger in actual resources
than ever before. This statement may
be taken with a measure of allowance,
but it is we'll known by intimates that
he made immense profits by selling in
a wholesale way against his holdings
of preferred and common shares of the
United States Steel Corporation. He
never parted with his certificates and
stands to-day the largest individual
holder of both classes of Steel stock.
He did protect himself, however, by
sales against his holdings more than
a year and half ago when quotations
were very near the top. These short
contracts are understood to have been
covered on the sharp break last Win
ter when low prices were made for
these securities. The speculation. If it
can be called such, realized him inn
mense sums in cash which were used
in large part in paying off loans, the
nature of which he never disclosed,
but which, in fact. were part and par
eel of his Wall street operations. He
needed the money to margin his trans
actions on the selling side, and did not
care to take the street into his conf
dence. He is said to have displayed
great cleverness in covering up his
tracks.

Wall street Makes Light OF II.

"hiA street wakes Light OF H.
Wall street is disposed to make light
of Lawson's pronuncimentos and is
free with prophecy that nothing will
come of it unless there be a certain
mysterious reinforcement of the Law
son eXchequer, of which the public will
be none the wiser.
Lawson, as the self-elected guardian
and defender of the pocketbook of the
American "D-Fool," is at this stage
impressive only as a novelty. He con-
fesses having been largely instrument
tai in separating the aforesaid I'D. F."
from 500. 100000, or Whereabouts. and
now at this late day for him to at
tempt to recover the swag and turn
it back savors too largely of a grand
stand play for terrifying purposes"
to be taken seriously. Still, there is
just a chance that Mr.. Lawson may
be in earnest and that he has the en-
durance and the means to wage a long
time fight against the Rogers outfit,
and wiring therefrom a portion of their
illgotten gains. It would be we'll, how
ever, for those who have lost money
