TAXING FRANCTIIsEs.

The decision of the United States SUI
preme court on Monday declaring valid
the New York law taxing franchises, is
Of Importance to other states than New
York, not only because it upholds the
right of a state to tax franchises, but
more because of its approval of the
principle involved.
AS stated in the State Journal edi-
torially Monday, this measure was
passed while Theodore Roosevelt was
governor of New York, and it received
his most earnest support. 1t was one
of the acts Of his gubernatorial admin
istration which he deemed of great i'm
pOrtance. This fact alone makes it
worthy of moro than passing notice.
This decision means that corporation
franchises may be and should be taxed.
Carried to its logical conclusion it
should apply not only to public service
corporations in cities, but to railroads
and all other corporations which are
valuable, not Sc much because of their
cost, but on account of location and be-
cause the population adjacent to them
gives them a great amount of business.
AS an illustration, two railroads are
built one through a plains country,
where the cost of construction is com
paratively little, the other through a
rougher country. Each has little bust
ness to begin with, and each is taxed
according to the cost of construction.
But in the course of a few years the
plains country becomes thickIy settled.
Towns spring up everywhere and the
ground yields rich harvests which make
a great railroad tonnage both in and
cut The railroad becomes an exceed
ingly valuable property because of this
trade. The population and the richness
Of the soil in its territory are its Creates
asset.
Would anyone argue that the plain:
road should still be taxed on the basi.
of its original cost? The business whicr
it does and the returns which it make.
the owners certainly ought to enter
! largely into the assessment of a rail.

ed on it than it did 20 years ago, but
the farmer recently refused $50 an acre
for it. although he has not put more
than $1,000 worth Of Improvements on it.
Would any one argue that it ought to
be taxed still on the basis of its origi-
nal cost?
The population of city is what
makes a street railway franchise or a
gas franchise valuable. The mere right
of running its cars up and down a city's
streets and from one locality to another
is worth far more to a street railway
than the mere cost of it's rails and
plant. It makes money in proportion to
the population Of the city or territory
through and between which it runs.
Why should it not pay taxes on the
value of this right to use a city's
streets? The same is true of other pub
lie service corporations.

NEXT WEEKS FESTIVAL.

To aid in every way to make the
Home Week Festival next week a sue
cess, a number of the business men of
Topeka informed Secretary Anderson
Of the Commercial club on Monday that
they would take tickets at the main
entrances and all of the sideshows at
the Gaskfu shows, SO as to cut down
the expense list as much as possible
This is the first time that the citizens
Of Topeka have identified themselves so
closely with any public entertainment
It is their desire to make money to re-
turn to the people who contributed to
the Semi Centennial celebration of last
year, and everybody viii join in the
procession and help it along.
Il have received plenty OF volunteer
offers from prominent business men in
the city" says Secretary Anderson, Ito
stand at the gates and the doors Of the
inside shows. They will do it for moth
ing and cut out a large expense item
on that score. I mention this fact mere
ly and principally to show how much
at heart the business men of this city
have our next weeks festival. They are
all working with might and main to
make it a success, and with good
weather we will make an eye-opening
record
If the business men of the city, whose
time is very valuable, and who have
many things to absolutely engrOss their
attention, can spend several hours each
day at the gates of the GaskiH shows,
so as to cut down expenses and make
as much money as possible, everybody
who can get out of doors in this city,
ought to be willing to pass through
these gates to the show. The CONNER
cial club pledged its word to return the
money subscribed for the Centennial
and this is the opportunity Of the citi-
zens of Topeka to make the redemp-
ton. Everybody ought to consider the
matter personal to himself. It is ev-
erybody's business.
