Kenosha Wis, Aug. ARTICLES oi
Incorporated were filed at Madison
during the day for the N. Il. Allen Sons
Tannery company of Kenosha. The
capital stock is 100000 and the in
corporators are Charles w. Allen, Ma
than r. All0n, Jr, and Edward G.
Theirs.
1t is generally believed that this is
the first step in ts.cning over the big
kenosha tannery, the largest independ-
ent tannery In the world, to the allied
leather interests.
In speaking of the organization OF
the new company Nathan Allen stated
that the stock in the company would
for the present be held by c. W. Allen
and himself, but, that the Central
Leather company would later have an
interest in the company. He SSclined
to state the nature of this interest.
In qualifying his remarks Mr. Allen
statefyhat the Central Leasler com
pany, Which Is new Organization,
now held more than so per cent OF the
stock Of the American Hide and
Leather company and that within the
last few weeks the company has pur-
chased six plants which had formerly
been independent. He did not give a
list of the plants purchased by the
new company.
1t Is generally believed here that the
deal is a reorganization OF the Amer

The Texas Railroad Commission.

Mr.. ". d. TAYLOR. professor Of rail-
way engineering in the University Of
Wisconsin, has made for the Bureau Of
the Census a report on The Valuation
Of Texas Railways The facts which
he gives and his conclusions should have
a certain interest for the large class Of
ready railway regulators,
The railroad commission Of Texas
has more power than any similar BODY,
practically an absolute control Of rail-
roads and rates, II also controls the
issue Of railroad securities.
The railway commissioners are elected
by the people. They are politicians, not
experts, business men OF shippers.
Prof TAYLOR says that the Texas laws
make the railway commission almost
supreme in its control Of the railways in
everything pertaining to interstate traffic
and even in the matter of the lay out Of
yards and connections with other COM
paniesT; and the commission NEEDLES in
many things usually in the discretion
Of the managers. To illustrate the COM
missions power and its way Of doing
business:
The law rives the commission The right to de-
eide vAen a new road may cross another At grade
Another statute gives the commission the right TO
require two roads crossing each other TO connie,
AZ that poat 90 as TO Interchange frame.

found In the Forthcoming report OF the commits.

Northern built a new Lac from Port Worm south

The commission objected and required the road.
a. eonslds rsble additional expense, 70 cross over

ness certain citizens demanded that the roads con
meet. This the roads objected 10 for three good
reasons. The connection would be expensive.
The two roads already had connections within
hfty miles both north and south Of the point named
and the amount OF trane THAI would be accommo.
dated would be uncomfortable. But Che commits.
sion ordered the connection made And the mat.
YER Is now In the courts
The railroad men insist that while the
commission has lowered rates it has
never allowed a lowered rate 10 be raised,
except where the lowering was for a
purpose. They assert also
that when shippers make a concerted
for the lowering Of a rate
It is almost always lowered, no matter
how reasonable it is shown TO be. The |
shippers always get something and the
roads always lose a little in every con-
lest before the commission.

An enterpr.sing merchant has made
application to the PARK Commissioner
/ for a franchise under which he may
set up penny-in-thc-slot machines in
all the public breathing spaces for the
sale Of soda water in the summer months
I II he had his way, every walk and
drive would lead to an automatic thirst
quencher, and the many hooks and cor
ners in the parks that now produce not
one cent Of revenue 20 the city or its
citizens would be utilized TO CONNER
cial advantage. The experiment might
be profitable 10 the owner Of the ma
chimes. He probably counts himself
public spirited citizen, too, and his
scheme he would call one for the i'm
provement' Of the park system.
This Is only a fair sample Of the kind
Of attacks that are continually made on
the park system, not only of New York,
but Of every municipality. To many far
sighted business promoters the spectacle
Of a great tract Of land lying unused
in the heart OF the city and producing no
money returns for any one is an abomi-
nation and an example Of sheer waste.
Central Park is full Of spots on which
merry-go-rounds might be erected.
Numberless sites for eating booths
are unoccupied within its bounds. The
throngs Of persons who visit it daily are
composed Of men, women and children
who might be buying jimcracks Of
almost any description If they only had
the opportunity, The fortunes Of scores
Of sidewalk pcdlers and other more
pretentious merchants might be made
under the park trees and srbors If a
heartless city government did not pro-
hibit it, The parks offer unlimited in
ducements 10 the sign painters, and the
fact that they are unavailable causes
woe in the breast Of all tine advertising
agents. II it is profitable to cover the
Jersey meadows with business announce
ments, how much more remunerative it
would be TO utilize New York's parks as
settings for bin boards,
If the Park Department keeps a record
Of the applications il receives for bust
ness permits a wonderful story could be
made Of them. No field Of enterprise, it
is safe TO say, would be unrepresented
in the list AZ times there has been a
danger that some Of them might be
granted, and q few have been. But in
the main the authorities have kept the
parks clear Of things that do not belong
in them. The public is jealous ofits play
grounds, and does not want them 20 be

or catchpenny amusement centres.
There ia no reason to fear, perhaps,
that a permit will be granted 10 the |
applicant for soda water privileges;
at least there should be none. But it
can do no harm to remind President
PALLAs and his fellow commissioners
that no such machines are needed in
the parks and that a permit for them
should not be issued.

although II refused to stop even a mo-
ment 70 communicate with the Russian
consul at Singapore, could not make
more than eight knots an hour. What
speed ToGo's battleships are now cap
able Of attaining is unknown, but hay
ing been in continuous hard service for
fourteen months they are unlikely to
compass anything like their normal
rate, II is impossible, therefore, to
forecast the date and place Of the ex-
pected battle, because two factors Of
the problem, 10 wit, the precise amount
Of start gained by RoJEsTvESsKY and
the difference between his rate Of speed
and that Of his pursuer, are unknown
to US.
Let us take for granted that the Rus
sian Admiral will be overtaken, either
in the China sea or al oil events, in
more northera waters. before he reaches
Nladivostok What chance has he Of
coping Successfully wiJh his opponent:
According 20 kilograms from Singapore
he has With him slz battleships, either
seven or nine cruisers 0Cl which two are
armored), and either seven or eight
torpedo boats, besides transports and
golfers. How the japanese fleet Of
twenty-five ships sighted on March Il
was made up we do not know. In no
event could TOGO have more than FIVE
battleships, eight armored cruisers and
sixteen protected cruisers, and he must
have left behind him a considerable de-
tachment for the purpose Of blockading
Nladivostok and protecting commune
cations between the Island Empire and
the Asiatic mainland Being ignorant
Of the composition Of this detachment,
we cannot compare the forces respec-
lively commanded by RoJEsTvESsKY
and TOGO In respect Of armament. Ii
will probably be found, however, that
in this particular the fleets are pretty
nearly matched. In manPuvring and
in gunnery the japanese may be eN-
peCted TO show themselves greatly SUI
perior, although il is said that gun prac-
tice went on necessarily while the Rus
sian Aee; was in Madagascar waters.
That RoJEsTyENsRY ia an able naval
strategist he has proved by stealing a
march upon his enemy. That he is
equally efficient az a naval tactician is
improbable. but it is certain that when
Admiral TOGO comes up with him TOGO
will meet a more formidable antagonist
than an he has yet encountered.
