FAvoRINo CORPORATIONS.

The policy OF favoring the corpora
while keeping the expenses OF the
state government constantly up 10 the
high-water mark, has been one of the
cardinal points in the Republican ad-
ministration OF the board Of tax com
missioners Though new railroad
lines have been built. second main and
sidetrack increased and rolling stock
augmented. the assessments remain
practically at the fitures at which the
Democrats placed them in 1894.
There have been changes since that
time. but no matter What the starting
point the Republican board has man
aged TO round up without any substan-
ual increase in the assessments.
sample of the peculiar manipula-
tions OF the board Is given in the re-
pert for 1903. Compared with the year
before there had been a marked in
crease in main, second main and side
track and rolling stock Of the rail
roads. the whole aggreglting 2G227
miles OF this aggregate 1891 miles
was main track. S03l miles second
main, 6S.S0 miles side track. and 67.33
miles roning stock The average as.
sessment of main track Is sl9.25l per
mile; of second main, Sl0.SS4; OF side
track s3.622: and Of rolling stock,
s., 5G5. And If this ratio Of assess
ment had been maintained and the
amount added TO that Of 1902, the total
railroad assessment would have been
increased s2.lS4S02 80.
But the Republican board pursued
its policy OF reducing the railroad as
sessments and. Notwithstanding the
large additions OF trackage during the
year. the total assessment shows an
increase of less than should have been
added for the increased trackage; for
the increased trackage should have
been valued for assessment at s2.lS4
S0250. though the actual increase Of
the entire assessments Of all the roads
was but s2.O37113. In other words.
the Republican board assessed the new
trackage and rolling stock and then
reduced the entire assessment Sl47,-
CSC so. making on the face Of the to-
tails an increase. but in reality a re-
Guction.

ON TRUSTS
lanes CreeIInan Shows That The DeE!.
ocratic Candidate Is the Man
Of the Hour.

James Creelman has contributed
character sketch Of Judge Parker TO
the Review Of Reviews in which he
throws light on the trust record OF the
candidate. In part he says.
"In 1896. sitting as trial justice
OF the supreme court Of New York, he
decided ia the Bluestone trust case
that IL was immaterial whether a com
bination in restraint Of trade was rea-
sonable or unreasonable. The exist
ence OF the power to restrain the trade
was forbidden by the common law.
In uttering this conception Of sound
public policy the judge was not bound
by any statute He was not express
ing an academic opinion or making a
political speech but was declaring the
law as II stands today in the state OF
New York. He was not a. that time
name being discussed publicly in any
way. There was no political pressure
behind him He was not even acting
in concert with other judges, but. sit
ting alone in a trial court was free
to deliver his own understanding OF
settled public policy Afterward. as
chief Judge uf the court OF appeals, a
tribunal OF last resort. he twice set
tied the same point in the same way.
Quoting Judge Vanns words. he said
OF a contract In restraint OF trade that
II is not the possible capacity of the
party for selfrestraiLt. but II is the
scope Of the contract that furnishes
the test OF its validity"
In the case OF the Parks & Sons
company against the National Drug
gists' association he declared that
neither side wes trying to help the
public. and added.
I'm the struggle with acquisitiveness
but little consideration is given tc

When one party finds himself over
whelmed by the strength OF the posi-
ton OF the other, he looks about fol
aid And quite often he turns to thu
courts. even when he has no merit o
his own. and makes himself for th'
time being the pretended champion o
the public welfare. in the hope tina
the courts may be deceived into al
adjudication that will prove helpful
\ TO him.
"Now. while the courts will not hes

These are the frontiers Of the trus
question outlined by a man accus
toned to weigh his words.

W II Smith has written laudatory
life of Charles w Fairbanks which has
been put on sale at so cents a copy.
1t certainly isn't worth any more, for
its purpoes is to glorify the subject.
and the book throughout bears the
impress Of hand that is moving sim
ply for pay According TO the author,
Mr. Fairbanks hes always been right.
and TO make il SD appear TO the read
er everything liz his record that would
invoke criticism is sedulously sup
pressed. In dealing with the speech
state convention in 1892. the author
ignores the speakers denunciation OF
the new tax law. but quotes from the
eulogy OF Harrison.
But the silliest and least excusable
statements in the book are those
which seek to make Fairbanks appear
as a friend of Harrison in 1883. II is
notorious that Fairbanks was for
Gresham, that he led the opposition
to Harrison in Indiana and went TO
Chicago as the manager OF the Gresh-
am forces. And II is equally notorious
that the Republican managers at that
time-Ckairman Heusten Of the state
central commlt,oe. Louis T. Michener
and others-denounce Fairbanks for
his attitude toward Harrison and even
the author OF this feeble literary effort
was among those who criticised him.

The Springfield (Mass) Republican

comments on recent speech OF Sen

drawing near when this narrow and
boorish treatment OF the tariff ques-
ton will not pass as adequate or toll
erable in New England. The subject
is beginning to assume hereabouts
vitality different aspect from what has
been the case in times past. Old the
ory in this respect clashes more and
more sharply with new conditions.
II may do for this cam
paign to bring to the New England
stump the familiar and unchanging
treatment OF the tariff issue which Mr..
Fairbanks is content TO give. But
Republican statesmen like Mr.. Lodge.
who live nearer at hand. are beginning
to discover that Industrial conditions
here are changing from former times.

them. and that the old tariff speeches
