Taxing Franchises.

The decision Of the United States SUI
preme Court that the Franchise tax law Of
New York is constitutional is hailed with
satisfaction everywhere, and indications
are that every State in the Union which
has large cities within its borders will be
forced BY public sentiment to enact similar
laws to the end that the corporations that
use the streets be made to pay taxes to
the same extent that individuals pay them.
The growth Of trolley companies, electric
lighting companies, telephone companies
and other companies providing public
utilities has been astounding These enter
pfises had modest beginnings and few
years ago there was a disposition on the
part OF municipalities to give them practi-
cally al that they asked for in the use Of
the streets and public thorofares for the
purpose Of carrying on their business, the
idea being that they could not stand too
much of an exaction in the way of taxes
or license fees in their experimental stage.
Bat since these corporations have grown
rich and powerful they have shown less
disposition than ever towards bearing their
share Of the burdens Of taxation, and have
fought all efforts to enact laws that would
make them do so. Years ago, Col. E. l..
Price, corporation counsel Of Newark
under Mayor Seymour, gave an OF inion
that the franchises of the street car COM
panies Of that city could be taxed as real
estate. His idea was ridieuled and the
companies had no trouble in defeating his
efforts to make them pay taxes on that
basis But now Col. Prices idea is likely
to become the law of the State Next
Winter will see an effort made in our
legislature to enact franchise taxing law,
and the corporations will fight it as bitterly
as they did the Equal Taxation bills Of the
past session. It remains to be seen if
they will be successful then as they were
last Winter There are other corporations
enjoying franchises that pay no more tax
on their franchises than do the public
utility companies When the new law is
enacted these corporations will find that
they will have been included

AGAINST SHORTER WORK DAY
Middle States Typotheta to Combat
Demand of Union.


Philadelphia, June 22-The employ
ing printers of the middle states met
in convention here and adopted reso-
lutions in opposition to the proposed
eight-hour working day decided upon
by the International Typographical
Union to go into effect January i.
1906 Many speeches were made in
which the opinion was expressed that
the establishment of an eight-hour
working day would wipe out all profits
and be practically ruinous. Edward
Meyer, of New York, stood practically
alone in favoring the eight-hour day.
He said that the Cooperative Press OF
New York would stand by the Typo
graphical Union in it's demand
The resolutions set forth that the
International Typographical Union
comprises less than one-third of the
employees Of the printing business; that
the proposed reduction in hours was
not required for physical comfort
moral, mental or religious improve
ment; that it would increase the cost
Of printing and drive to foreign houses
much Of the work now being done for
publishing houses by American print
ers. The resolutions also recite that
the best way to resist the demands OF
the Typographical Union was to or
ganize a local Typotheta in all COM
munities where none exists,

A collision occurred at Egg Harbor City,
on Wednesday; between an automobile and
a carriage. In the latter vehicle were
man and woman The auto, running at
a speed which, at least, was not under the
chaffeur's control, collided with the car
rage, tore off wheel, threw the occupants
Of the carriage with great violence to the
ground, and then dashed off before the
injured persons secured anything more of
the indemnity Of the auto and its brutal
occupants than the number Of the machine.
OF course the usual efforts will be made to
hush the matter up and to conceal, at least
from the public prints, the names Of the
miscreants- It IS pretty nearly time that
the people of the State arouse themselves
and take hand in stopping the outrage
from which the State authorities refuse to
protect them. GCamden Democrat.

We have not heard an expression Of
opiniou from any member Of our Board Of
Chosen Freeholders on the petition Of
citizens of Woolwich, East Greenwich and
West Deptford townships requesting the
Bard to purchase and make Of that por-
tiSn Of the Salem and Gloucester turnpike
lying between Woodbury. and Swedesboro,
q county road, il such can be done at a
reasonable price
It has always seemed to us that the
farmers, il fact all citizens who use the
toll roads, were exceeding long suffering in
that, without protest, they have for years
continued 20 pay their share Of taxation for
free county roads all around them, yet
when they used the roads were obliged to
pay a fee.
Without putting on magnifying glasses
our readers can see that this is double
taxation and there is no warrant for that
under any law that Americans eyer made.
And the sense Of justice that we all have,
in varying degree reyolts against it too.
We have long Teen anxious for oppor-
eunity to compliment these long suffering
people 90 the patriotic spirit they have
exhibited in submitting to double taxation
for the sake Of securing to their fellow
citizens in less favored localities satisfactory
roads, and now that they conceive that the
tins has arrived for them to secure relief
the extreme modesty of their petition is
both commendable to their judgment and
mindful Of the interests Of the people at
large they petition for justice oaly If it
can be secured at reasonable prices.

Attorney General Moody made one COM
plant in conversation with your cores
pendent recently which deserves considera-
ton and even support by the law-abiding
people Of the country. He said that with
a view to preventing an innocent man from
suffering the lawmakers had gone to a
radical extreme in placing obstacles in the
way of prosecuting criminals, or men
charged with crime, and that it was, under
existing statutes matter OF years to
merely bring to trial a man who was under
Indictment irrespective Of how conclusive
the evidence was. The Attorney General
referred especially TO the case Of State
Senator George r. Green. Of New York,
who was isdicted more than two years ago
and who is still free awaiting the decision
Of the Supreme Court on his habeas corpus
suit, which decision cannot be rendered
until autumn. The Attorney General be-
spoke popular support for bis recommends
ton to Congress that statute be enacted
providing that any person indicted for
violation OF . United States statute might
be brought Immediately to the District Of
Columbia for trial without any intervening
legal proceedings Il is to be hoped that
such statute Will be enacted next session.

affecting the welfare of the American
people:
Question do you indorse the sug-
gestion of President Roosevelt that
insurance companies engaged in in
terstate insurance business should be
regulated by and brought under the
control of the federal government?
Question 2-Do you hold the insur-
ance business to be national rather
than local interest and properly en-
titled to the solicitude and care OF
the national government?
Question 3--As a matter of personal
opinion, do you hold the business of
insurance to be commerce, or an in
tegral and indispensable element of
commerce, in the sense in which this
term is used in every day language?
Question 4-Are you in any way ap-
prehensive that it would be mex
pedient or inadvisable to increase the
power of the federal government to
the extent implied in the regulation
Of insurance by congress?

NATIONAL CONTROL
SENATOR DRYDEN SOUNDING
PUBLIC ON THE QUESTION
intends to Introduce Bill and is
Anxious to Secure Favorable An
sWers to His Circular Letter Con-
tanning List of Questions

New York, Oct 15.-For the pur-
pose OF securing comprehensive ex-
preston of public opinion on the
question of national control of life
insurance companies, United States
Senator John F. Dryden of New Jer-
sey has sent out many copies of the
following circular letter, with the ap-
pended list of questions to be an
SWered
President Wants It
In his last annual message, Presi-
dent Roosevelt called the attention
OF congress to the necessity for fed
eral legislation providing for the
regulation and control of insurance
companies transacting interstate and
innational business In compliance
with an increasing demand from in
surance pOlicyholders and others in
terested in the public welfare l in
troduced into the last congress a bill
TO this, effect, providing that there
should be established within the
bureau of corporations division of
insurance, and that policies of insur-
ance were deemed to be articles of
commerce and instrumentalities
thereof. This was introduced too late
to secure final consideration, but the
demand for such measure has be-
come even more apparent in the
meantime and I expect to rentroduce
the same, possibly with slight modi-
fications, into the congress which is
to meet in December.
The bill will be introduced on be-
half of the policyholders of all Ameri-
can insurance companies in the firm
belief that their present and future
interests demand the additional pro-
lection of a federal statute regulat-
ing insurance transactions between
the states, in addition, of course, to
such supervision and regulation as
constitutionally belongs to the states
Of which the companies derive their
charters. Furthermore, that by elm
mating a considerable amount of need
less state supervision, the following
important benefits are expected to re-
suit:
Benefits Expected
First-An increase in the security
OF the policyholders.
Second-A decrease in the expense
rate and the cost of insurance.
Third-A decrease in the burden of
needless taxation.
Fourth-A decrease in the amount
of clerical labor now indispensable to
meet the requirements of some fifty
states and territories.
Sixth-Adequate national protection
for American companies transacting
business in foreign countries.
Since thus far interstate insurance
transactions have not been brought
within the scope of congressional ac-
ton, desire TO secure an expression
OF views from the interests affected
by such measure and |, therefore,
take the liberty OF troubling You with
a few questions of Which would like

MINES AND MINING
Things Going on Under Ground in
Various Localities.
cocHlsE COUNTY.

The station on the 500 foot level Of
the Shattuck- Arizona mine at Bisbee
will be completed by the end of the
present week. Immediately upon the
completion of this work drifting will
commence. Drifting will also be re-
sumed on the 700 foot level. The drift
work was suspended in porphyry, but
a crosscut Will be made TO the ore.
The zoo foot level has about $50 feet
of ore and ledge matter Ia its 230 feet
Of development. Water is gaining
steadily at the 500 and it is not prob
able that there will be further sinking
in it until big pump is installed and
two more boilers added to the power
equipment. The new pump will be sta
toned on the 500 foot level. The pumps
that are now employed at the mine
have about all they can do to handle
the water coming in, which is from 175
to 200 gallons per minute. In view
of this necessary equipment it is con-
sidered likely that operations in the
mine will be confined most of the fall
and winter to development work on the
700 and 500 foot levels.
The sinking going on at the Black
Eagle mine at Tombstone has developed
a wide vein of ore, most of which
however. is of too low grade without
careful reductions. Additional work is
