terday with Thomas n. McCarter, the president
OF the Public Service Corporation The confer
ehce was suggested by Mr.. McCarter who tele-
phoned asking the Senator-elect if he had a
rev minutes to spare for talk with him.
MT. McCarter, when he emerged from Mr.
Coioy's office. declined to discuss the nature of
'ie interview further than to admit that the
question Of the assessment and taxation of pub
TIC utilities franchises formed a part Of the con-
versation
Mr. Colby. In his frank manner. however.
talked freely about the interview. saving that
ne and Mr.. McCarter did not agree as to the
method Of taxing franchises
Inc main question discussed was a plan of
assessment and taxation. Mr.. Colby told Mr.
MoCarter that franchise valuations should he
fxsed as accurately as those of a plot of land
he suggested that the money appropriated by
the company holding franchises for its cars
tracks and other equipment be subtracted from
The amount put into the company and the bal
ence taken as the value OF the franchise. Ref
erence made to the Ford act of New-Y York
providing taxation on franchises according TO
the market value Of the holdings of a company
and to the Voorhees, act in New-Jersey, which
makes provision for = per cent tax on a. COM
peny's gross earnings.
Mr.. Colby pointed out the contention of the
courts where steam railroad franchises were in
VOWED wherein franchise is valued at the rate
of go per cent of the difference between tangible
and intangible property of a company. In the
case of street railroad Mr.. Colby declared it
would be a conservative taxation to exact 20 per
cent of this difference, since it picks I'D it's
business along the streets
Mr.. Colby said that If the public utilities COM
panies were assessed at the local rates on their
franchises as he suggested they would pay
AZ per cent Of the gross earnings instead of 2
per cent, required by the Voorhees, act.

WATERWAYS OF CHINA.

The most interesting and in some respects the
most important feature of the waterway sys-
tenn in China is the canal system. Running
more or less parallel to the seacoast from Hang
chow to Pekin, through very rich portion or
the empire. certainly the most important Dor
ton, commercially, at the present time is the
Grand or Imperial Canal of China. Connect
ing with this at either hand smaller canals
THESE IN turn connect with still smaller water
ways. and still further smaller streams un-
til the Yangtze and Yellow River plains are 8
vast network of waterways. designed originally
for irrigation very largely but used at the pres
ent time both for irrigation and transportation
To get at Chinese commercial conditions one
must thoroughly understand this system or
streams and canals. 1t is q Characteristic part
of the life of the Chinese people There will be
no system of railroads to supplant it in its close
relation Of life here, and any commercial sys-
tenn or theory which disregards it will fall
short of success. The rivers and waterways OF
the empire are the basis for heavy transporta-
ton and traffic for years TO come. and the rail-
road system, for which there is hope. will not
supplant but merely supplement thenl.--(Dundee
