Senator Staples is said to have bill
in preparation providing for the taxa
ton of the capital stock of all corpora
tions doing business under the laws of
this state, requiring every such corpo-
ration to make a return of the owner
ship of its stock, which is thus taxed to
the owners in the places where they re-
side at the same rate as other property
in that place. This proposition looks
fair upon the face of it, and no doubt
Mr.. Staples believes it is fair. Like
many other people, perhaps, he is mis-
led by the word corporation. Some
corporations have special privileges
granted them by law, which can only
be reached by direct taxation on fran
quate taxation is nothing less than an
outrage. But the great maj ority Of
corporations are given no special priv
those on their property, same as in
tax their property and then tax their
stock, which represents no value what
ever except their property, would be
simply robbery-double taxation and
more. We have no fear of the bill be-
coming a law; it is too obviously unjust
for even a Maine legislature. But we
hate to see the name of our Senator,
who has so many good ideas, mixed up
with so absurd proposition.-Rock-
and Opinion.
The Opinion is right. This method
of taxation was once tried here, with
out the color Of law, by a city govern.
ment which sought in this way to pun
ish individuals and corporations who
had opposed its election. The tax was
duly assessed, but illegally, and could
not be collected. The law proposed by
Senator Staples would be particularly
unjust as regards newspaper corpora
tions. The real property of such cor
poration is represented by its plant anc
building, if its owns building, which
are already taxed. The larger part Of
the stock merely represents the gooG
! will, an intangible and uncertain prop
erty, which may be entirely wiped out
by bad management or ruinous com
petition. Taxation of such stock would
be, as the Opinion says, simply rob
berry" Of course the result would b'
the change from corporate to private
ownership and the State would LOST
| the corporation tax it now receives
which must amount in the aggregate t.
q considerable sum.

The Republican journal., 1905-02-09

Edward Stanwood, one of the most
accomplished students of historical
American politics and of the tendencies
and developments of national parties,
opens the February Atlantic with
careful paper on The Democratic
Predicament,-the question how the
Democratic party after its recent crush
ing defeat can get itself together, and
upon what lines it must reorganize to
become again strong factor in
American politics. The nature and re-
suits OF his study will be evident from
the following paragraph:
That cannot be strong party in
which both MI Cleveland and Mr..
Bryan are leaders of factions, nor can
it be strong if either OF them is titular
leader and the other nomlnally fol
lower 1t is merely the expression of
an opinion which can be neither verified
nor refuted, that at present Mr.. Bryan
reflects the political sentiments OF by far
the more numerous wing of the party
Assuming that to be the fact, the logical
consequence of the existing situation is
that those who form that wing should
and will take permanent control of the
organization. lnasmuch as they would
be hampered in the future as they have
been in the past by men who call them
selves Democrats, but who have no
sympathy with their forward policy,
they should enter upon their new course
with such clear and unmistakable state
ments of their purposes as to compel
the withdrawal from the party OF those
who are with it, but not of It.

The trust magnates and certain poll
ticians do not like President Roosevelt
which is much to his credit-while
the election returns afforded somewhat
astonishing proof of his popularity
with the voters. During the campaign
the most bitter attacks upon the Re-
publican candidate appeared in the
Southern newspapers; but there has
evidently been decided reversal of
sentiment in that section, for those
same newspapers are now according
President Roosevelt the credit that is
his just due. The gravamen of his Of
Tense from the Southern standpoint
was that he had invited to lunch man
who is doing a noble work for the col
ored people Of the South-a work not
only in the interest Of humanity, but
one that must prove of inestimabe
benefit to the South itself In this i'll
stance, as in others which have subject
ed him to hostile criticism, President
Roosevelt was right, as he generally is.
He has entered upon his second term
absolutely untramelled. He owes moth
ing to the politicians, who would have
defeated him in the convention II they
could. He is not looking for a reelec
ton. He has no self interest to serve.
He is naturally thoroughly independ-
ent and intensely earnest, and when he
said at recent meeting of the Union
League in Philadelphia that ''The gov
eminent must supervise cooperate ac-
Invites" it means that he will endeavor
to bring to book the gigantic trusts
which are holding this country by the
throat. AS writer in the Brooklyn
Eagle says: 'The President has struck
a note that will be popular everywhere
except in the United Senate"

FROM ITS INTERNAL ENEMIES.
Imperial Manifesto Calls on Country
to Defend the Throne.

st. Petersburg, March 4.-The Off
cial Messenger publishes an imperial
manifesto calling ON the country to
rally round the throne In defense of
the empire from it's internal enemies.
The manifesto, which reiterates Rus
sias aspirations in the Far East and
appeals to the loyalty of the people to
turn away from sedition and support
the government in order that the
projected reforms may be carried out,
has proved profoundly disappointing
to liberals. The latter believe that it
will not only aggravate the existing
critical situation but Is likely to pre-
cipitate a veritable crisis In this, the
emperor's final response to the prac-
tically unanimous demand of the In
telligent classes for voice in the gov
erNment. They declare that the result
can only be disastrous. Empty praises
cannot satisfy aspiration nor can re-
preston, If attempted, be successful.
Besides nothing could, in their opin-
Ion, come at a more inopportune mo-
ment, as the workmen, on the eve OF
the emancipation anniversary, are III
state of intense excitement due to
the refusal of the government to meet
their ultimatum and the public Is al
ready convinced that General Kuropat-
kin has suffered another great defeat.
The language of the manifesto itself
Is sufficient to prove that 1t Is direct
ed at the peasant class, based upon
their traditional loyalty to the en-
peror and church, to stand by the gov
ernment In its hour of trial. For the
moment the manifesto must be con-
sidered victory for the reactionaries,
but one which can only be maintained
by their own hand of force, but the
question of yielding on the main issue
Ia still open even In the mind OF the
emperor owing to the fact that M.
Witte, president of the committee of
ministers, and the ministers them
selves have been summoned to Tsars-
koe Selo to discuss the very subject.

Tn. spread OF the peaci- Belt.

The peach belt' of the United States

says the Chicago Tribune. Michigan,

now be added every southern state,
with the exception of perhaps Flori-
da. The last decade has seen re-
markGble development in the peach or.
chards Of the southern part of Illinois
But 1t is in states south of Mason and
Dixon's line, the old cotton states, that
the peach as a big crop has been seri
ously taken up. Alabama, both as for
quality and quantity, Is beginning t,
clamor for recognition in this line, ans
Tennessee, Texas and Missouri are alst
states where the peach is being scien
tifically cultivated with an eye to de
veioping orchards to supply world mar
