Charges Against Railroads.

tax levied upon the people. A tax
upon every mouthful of food VIC
cat, every garment we wear, every
timber in the house we live in,
every shovelful of coal we burn.
In America each person pays
about 81 annually for the expenses
of the Federal Government . but
the railroad tax in freights averages
each year over S26 for every man,
woman and child, nearly four times
tho government tax.
Now, taxation is an elemental
function OF government; it is. indeed,
the foundation of government.
No money, no state"
In the present railroad aeita-
ton, the old, old question of equal
taxation and the right of represen-
tation in levying taxes, is squarely
before us again. The cry arises
from every part of the country that
the railroad baron does not tax
fairly and squarely. He is charged
with making taxes low and easy for
his rich favorites-the Rockefellers,
the Armours, and their like, and
he is charged with making the taxes
high and hard for the farmer, the
small, struggling manufacturers and
shippers, and all the vast, unorgan-
lied mass of producers and consum-
ers. He is charged with using his
great power to practice cxtortion.
He is charged with secretly paying
back part of the taxes to his rich
favorites by device called the 're-
bate Let the city of New York
secretly rebate part of the taxes of
its wealthy citizens and sec what a
commotion would ariscl And yet
the railroad corporation. which by
virtue of its character stands in the
place OF the government, is charged
with committing exactly that Of
Tense. In other words, those rail-
road representative of ours, appoint
ed by us as tax collectors, do not rep
resent US, but work for their own per-
sonal political representatives! The
present. demand for rate legislation
by the government is nothing more
nor less than the old, old demand for
taxation without representation.
J The Cullom investigating COM
mittee as long as 1885, in it's az
rangement of the railroads made
this charge:
They, (the railroads,) do not
deal with all citizens alike. They
discriminate between. persons and
places. - ~.. 80.

The MINING NEWS says: IF Andy
Carnegie could be prevailed upon
to donate library for Eveleth, we
have suspicion that it would not
lack for site and maintenance"
Do not think it would be hard to OBJ
tain the donation, if Mr.. Carnegie
could be assured of proper main
tenance for the enterprise, and it is
simply up to the Mining News to
look up some citizen with public
spirit enough to take the initiative.
Virginia made start in the right
direction, but there appears to be a
"bit of friction" over the affair. So
much so, in fact, that many who be-
lieve in educational advancement
have become Disguised with the af.
fair as whole and feel content to
"let her go as she looks" It is i'm.
probable that like action would
be taken by residents of any-othe1

Gov. JOHNSON has designated Fri
day, April 28th, as Arbor Day. A
look about Virginia in the days of
the good old summer time would
lead one to think previous Arbor
Days had received but slight recog-
milton in this city. lis not too late
to commence a movement for the
identifying OF the city.
Down at Ishpeming the business
men have already commenced talk
ing for hummer of Fourth of
July celebration. Should the same
effort be put forth to help along an
enterprise of this sort in Virginia
as has developed in opposition to
the Carnegie library gift Virginia
would also be in line with cele-
bration which would go down in
history.

he sold the pawn ticket for $50.

ticipated that Mr.. Dowling's "blind

ASK RECEIVER
FOR ARCANUM.
Alpha Council, of Boston, Takes
Radical Action Regarding
the New Rates.

BOSTON, Sept. AT a meeting
Alpha Council, No. 1, the parent
lodge of the Royal Arcanum, it was
voted to request S. w. Reynolds,
chairman of the committee of fifteen
which represents the protests of
every lodge in Massachusetts, to ask
the committee TO take action with
regard to making a plan for a re-
ceivership for the Royal Arcanum.
The vote was taken amidst impress
sive silence.
Alpha lodge was the first lodge of
the Royal Arcanum to be formed and
its members have always been con
sidered among the most conservative
in the order. 1t was only after grav-
est elaboration in which the action
of the supreme council at Putin
Bay was carefully considered in all
its phases that the vote was taken.
This action will undoubtedly be
endorsed by every other lodge in this
jurisdiction and probably sounds the
death knell of the order.
Should ~receivership proceedings
be asked for in this state similar
steps will probably be taken in other
states.

sioner Thomas Clark made a motion
that the opinion Of the city attorney
be sought to see if Mr.. Eckert could

if he been appointed for any certain

was that the new clerk could do
the work that was now being done
by Mr.. Eckert and this would save
the taxpayers a considerable sum of
money. The board argued the matter
and most of them seemed to think
that Mr.. Eckert could not be remov-

charges were made. The board will
see the city attorney in regard TO
the matter.
