CORPORATE "THIMBLER1GGING."

The corporations of the State Of New-YOrk
represented in the Senate have succeeded in
passing one of Mr.. Goodselrs cleverest ''thimble-
rigging" bills. 1t remains for the people of the
State of NeW-YOrk to find such representation
as may be necessary in the Assembly and the
Executive Chamber to protect them from this
piece Of highway robbery; for it is literally
highway robbery to make bargain to furnish
transportation on certain streets and then fur
nish it only part of those streets, where large
profits are to be made. The measure would al
low company, after securing a franchise for
number of routes, to build only such lines as it
wished without fOrfeiting its right to the rest Of
the franchise.
The injustice of this is plain at a glance. The
authorities, desiring to provide transportation
for a district, lay out system of railways. The
city grants n franchise for them a whole,
Except TO secure accommodation for people
along the lines less likely TO be profitable, it
might grant no franchise at all. 1t may for this
sacrifice congested streets otherwise better kept
vacant. Certainly the compensation for the
whole franchise will be based on an estimate
Of its average earning capacity. The trans
portation company may be trusted to have seen
that its sacrifices in agreeing to build the less
desirable lines are fully taken into account.
After such bargain it is bound to take the lean
with the fat. Would anybody pretend that a
builder, after taking a contract to put up a
house, could do the part of the work in which
there was a large profit and then abandon the
job? That is just what the street railroad peO-
pie want to do in The Bronx. Having, on the
strength of their promise to give adequate facili-
ties to various sections of the borough, secured
rights in some thickly settled neighborhoOds,
they want to be allowed to take toll Of those
neighhOrhoods and wholly neglect the other dis
tricts This is utter bad faith, and lawmakers
cannot permit it without an absolute betrayal of
the people.
If such recreancy to corporate obligations is
allowed, it may likewise be made facile IN
strument of monopoly. 1t will render easy the
construction Of lines which will so occupy
strategic Streets without going on to give facili
ties to the districts naturally approached by
those streets that no rival can serve those dis
tricts Thus corporation with a dog-in-the-
manger spirit may absolutely hold up improve
ments and keep territory at its mercy without
in the least serving it. No franchise should ever
be granted to a corporation except on the un-
alterable condition that it is to be entirely and
Immediately improved. Such privileges should
not be given for gambling purposes or TO serve
as weapons in the wars of corporate rivals

WIRELESS LITIGATION.

Until the text of Judge TOwnsend's decision
in the suit Of the MarcOnl company against the
De Forest company is accessible to the public it
will be impossible to estimate the effect with
precision. Although there is possibility that
one or both parties may wish TO appeal. every
thing depends at present upon the nature Of the
two claims which were sustained and Of the four
which were dismissed.

sTATEg As LIoUoR DEALERS.

An interesting question OF State rights is
raised in a case now pending in the United
States Supreme Court For some ten years
past South Carolina has been operating State
dispensary for the sale Of alcoholic liquors. As
a means Of regulating the liquor traffic and as
a means Of raising revenue an absolute State
monopoly has been established. The expert
ment at first questioned and ridiculed, has
proved a decided success. For the low dram
shops have been stamped out, except in one or
TWO Of the larger cities and on the sale Of
liquors ia unbrOken larger packages the State
realizes each year a profit OF about S5OOOO0
As dealers in liquors the States dispensary
agents have been forced 10 take out federal
wholesale and retail licenses. But the present
State administration conceived the idea Of con-
testing the legality Of these license charges,
holding that the dispensary system was not so
much a commercial venture as an exercise OF
police power to restrain and regulate a demor-
slizing traffic South Carolina engaged lawyers
and brought suit in the federal Court of Claims
for the return Of Rll the license fees collected
by the Bureau Of Internal Revenue. This suit,
decided adversely 10 the State, has been car
Tled to the Supreme Court and arguments were
made on the appeal last Monday by the counsel
for South Carolina, Messrs. RolstOn and Sid
dOns, and by the Solicitor General.
The Court Of Claims held unanimously that

and collected IN other States. II a State could
withdraw subjects OF federal taxation by mOnop-
olizing their sale or manufacture, the whole sys-
ten Of internal revenue taxation would fall TO

not be avoided 10y making the State itself a

Court Of Claims concluded, must be exercised

federal government.
Since the case has been appealed new point

Congress. in revising the Internal Revenue tax
laws several years ago, defined the plR1ses Of
dealers subject 70 license taxes. II was de-
ciared that the term persons" included "co.

over any one of these; and IL was foreseen three
or four years ago that rather extensive adjudi-
cation might be necessary before much headway
could be made with commercial wireless teIeg-
raphy.
From a purely popular point Of view it has
long seemed doubtful whether the courts would
ever accord to a single inventor complete mo-
nOpoly in this art. At least half dozen forms
Of receiver are known which are sufficiently dis
similar to preclude infringement; and their
owners might we'll hope 60 remain in the field
despite the presence Of rivals. But this part of
the equipment is not the only essential Long
after the patent expired ON Bells receiver the
company which bore his name was able TO DEFY
competition by its control of n then recent and
exceedingly broad patent on transInitter
granted to one Berliner. That instrument was
vastly superior TO all others. especially for long
distance service. If anything like parallel in
excellence were afforded by some important
feature Of the transmitting outfit Of wireless
telegraph station, or if the receiver Of one svs
TEN were much better than that of the others
the effect might be the same 1t becomes ex
tremely interesting to know, therefore lust
what are the devices of which Judge Townsend
pronounces MarcOni the originator. and also in
what exclusive property rights are denied.
