New York legislature in 1900, but
was resisted by the corporations
when the first tax was levied with
the result that there was five years
of litigation which ended with the
decision of the supreme court to
which the case was appealed after
the court of appeals of New York
had declared the constitutiOnality
of the act.
The decision of the supreme
court is a great victory for the peo-
pie of New York, as it requires
the immediate payment into the
city treasury of $24, 09S, S63.21 in
back taxes and interest, and ia the
future the law will add from four
to five million dollars to the city's
revenues.
Prior to its passage franchises
went untaxed, as they were under
existing acts taxable neither as
real estate nor personal property.
Although these franchises repre-
scented an enormous value they con-
tributed nothing to the support of
the municipal government, and as
the injustice of this condition was
exposed by the press a movement
was begun which resulted in the
passage of the franchise tax law.
The law declares franchises to be
real property and taxable as such,
Just as houses and lands are taxed
but as a concession to the corpora
tiOns the assessments are made by
the state tax commissioner instead
of the city assessors.
The fact that its justice has been
vindicated by the highest tribunal
in the land shows quite clearly that
it is a good law, al d the question
of its validity having been finally
settled it is safe to say that SINH
lar act will be passed by the legis
latures of other states in which
great corporations are operating
and pay little or no taxes for th'
support of the state and municipal
governments.

Camden Caught at Her Own Game.
From Trenton True Americanl !.

From trenton True AmerfeauI
While ostensibly and naturally, Camden
desired to exceed Trenton ia the matter Of
population, there is another phase to she
subject which is not quite 50 apparent. It
T is Of political nature
For many years Camden city has been
conspicuous as a centre upon which reli-
ance could be placed for big Republican
maiorities those top-notch maiorities that
helped make the old First Congressional
District stronghold Of Republicanism.
The question was often asked as to the
source from which tremendous maiorities
were obtained. Trenton and Camden are
relatively of the same size, but while this
city, upon the usual ratio of one voter to
five and one-half of population, has a nor
NAL vote Of $1,000; Camden's vote last
year for Mayor was nearly $4,000, or :, 900
more than Trenton.
The Philadelphia Record suggests that
naturally enough the Camden machinists
are wroth over the neglect Of tine enumera-
tors to find Inhabitants in the gas holders,
empty lots, unoccupied houses, kennels and
other places from which fictitious names
have been registered; and Mayor Ellis has
promised that the people will hear from
him on the subject later on.
BIT what can he do? Can he square the
circle Can he divide q, 900 into 50, 912 so
that the quotient will be anything but the
preposterous ratio Of ! voter to 81 Of popu-
lation?
To bring Camden's vote to q, 900 on the
ratio Of 81, means that Camden should
have 100, 900 souls or 10000 more than she
has to-day.
Camden has not been free from the
charge of ballot box stuffing and false
registration. There have been occasions
when the word went tut that the votes
must be had. That is how Is, 600 leaps to
%, 600, and that IS why when it is shown
that in Camden the voting ratio is to 81 81
and in Trenton it is / to 81 that Camden,
under a political control similar to that in
this city, does not appreciate cold fact
disclosed by a State census. We extend
sympathy to Camden, now that she has
been caught at her own game.

a Hammer which the Carpet Layer
Should Prize.


We illustrate herewith a very clever
invention in the nature Of a magazine
tack hammer, as described in the Sci
entifc American. The hammer carries
a number Of tacks in the hollow handle
portion. and by simple feeding de-
vice the tacks are delivered singly, as
required, TO the hammer head, which Is
magnetized and thus holds the lacks In
position for driving.
The magazine consists of a channel
or raceway (R). which supports the
heads of the tacks, as shown. The
hammer head is pivoted in the forked
end Of the handle and is held in posi-
ton for hammering by q spring within
the handle, which at the opposite end
is attached to a snap latch Isl. The lat
ter serves 10 close the rear end Of the
raceway. while an escapement device
Is provided at its forward end.
a push rod CPl is attached at one end
to the hammer head, and the other end
projects through the upper face of the

handle. BY pushing this rod forward
with the thumb the hammer head will
be swung on its pivots and the mag
netized or fOrked end will thus he
brought into engagement with the es-
capement device, as illustrated in one
Of our views. This operates theescape-
ment which releases one of the tacks,
and the latter thereupon adheres to the
hammer head by magnetic attraction,
so that on release Of the push rod the
hammer head will swing back to nor
NAL position, carrying the tack with it.
When the hammer is not in use an
armature or keeper is placed across
the poles Of the hammer head to con-
serve the magnetism. The tack maya
zine is loaded by means of q simple de-
vice, which quickly and readily lines
up the lacks In channel, whence they
are poured directly into the raceway
