of a question raised regai ding the charges

saloon for hair cutting and shaving. which
were % cents and 12I6 cents, respectively
1t was complained that they we're too
high, a grievance obviously emanating
from the large contingent Of poor men now
in Parliament, who have displaced many
wealthy squires and land owners. The up
shot is that these charges have been re-
duced by half, so that members Of Parlla-
ment can now have their hair cut for 12if
cents and shaved for cents. This change
has brought an extended patronage to the
parliamentary BARRIERS, who, also, by the
way. sell collars, ties and shirts to legis-
lators. A republic treats its legislators
more literally. Think Of the comfort OF a
senatorial shave. the massaging and rub

SIMPLY BLUFFING.

The railroad tax agents are bound
to earn their salaries before taking
their annual vacation. They have
filed protests with the State Board OF
Equalization demanding a reduction
in the railroad assessment, which they
claim is out of all proportion to other
property in the state. They assert
with their usual bravado that real es-
tate is assessed at not more than Ii
per cent of its value; live stock at IL
per cent, merchandise at per cent,
agricultural implements at 6 per cent,
while railroads are assessed at 20 per
cent.
If this relative divergence really ex-
lists they undoubtedly would be enti-
tied to a reduction, but tax agents
figures are sometimes very deceptive.
Figuring cattle, for example, at South
Omaha market prices without deduct
ing the cost of transporting them from
the farm and figuring the cattle OF all
sizes and ages at a standard rate per
head when thousands are unstable is
more of a snare and a delusion than
| figuring agricultural implements at
the catalogue prices or at the purchase
price from the retail dealer, when as
a matter of fact two-thirds will go into
the scrap pile within ewo or three
years.
OF the 100000 acres of lands In
Nebraska less than one-third is under
cultivation and millions of acres are
absolutely unproductive, while the
railroad is a productive property whose
value can readily be determined by
the market price~,of IT'S sstock and
bonds, or it's earnings. On the basis
of the market price of their stocks ant
bonds, or net earnings, capitalized a
l,6 per cent. the railroads in Nebraska
are assessed at less than IL per cen
of their actual value. The tax agents
are simply blufing to keep up theil
reputation.

The official tabulation of the vote
cast at the recent primary election in
Douglas county discloses some inter
esting figures. The typical vote cast
for the delegation for Edward Rose
water for United States senator was
more than $500, while that for the
opposition delegation was less than
1000. In other words, the Rosewater
majority was on the average fully two
and a half to one. Mr.. Rosewater's
candidacy received the endorsement of
Douglas county republicans by polling
majority of the votes in nearly sew
enty-five of the eighty precincts. The
lowest man on the Rosewater delega-
ton is almost 900 ahead of the high
est man among the opposition. Sell

clear-cut verdict in straight-out pri
mary contest In this county.

are permitted TO retain as a deposit OF
treasury funds one-third Of the amount
of the new bonds allotted to them.
Thus the secretary takes advantage
of opportunity to create a demand for
the bonds he is selling, at a time, too,
when the demand for cash for moving
the western crops is at it's height. Or
dinarily a new issue Of government
bonds causes depression Of the prices
Of outstanding bonds, but such is the
effect of the secretary's measures that
prices of old bonds are notably adj
vancing in the teeth Of the new issue.
The outcome, in short, will inevitably
be that the treasury will receive sew
eral hundred thousand dollars more
for the Panama canal bonds than 1t
would have received IL the secretary
had not taken such precautions, the
difference being the "rake-on" which
the old private syndicate method OF
marketing government bonds secured
to the operators
On top of all this, this bond issue is
offered with every facility as a popu-
lar loan, so that any person with mod
crate savings has an equal chance with
the sharpest spectators and greatest
bank or syndicate to bid and secure a
share within his means, a circumstance
which is no more palatable now to
some eastern financiers than it was
during the war with Spain, when this
method proved so phenomenally sue
cessful from the point Of view Of pub
| lie policy.

The real ground of the attack being
made upon Secretary Shaw in quarters
representative of eastern interests that
so long had the inside track in govern

just made sure Of a good bargain for
the government, rather than for the
bond brokers and syndicates. Two
conditions laid down by the secretary
in inviting bids for the $4,000. 900
bonds for the Panama canal loan were
obviously devised for the very purpose
of securing to the treasury the rake
on which his critics would like TO
have for themselves and their friends.

funds secured by other than national

OUR CoLossAL FoRETGY TRADE.


The preliminary abstract made up
by the bureau of statistics throws into
bold relief the unprecedented eggre-
gates reached by our foreign trade
during the fiscal year ending June 80,
as well as the increase over the pre-
ceding year, which was the greatest in
all previous records. The total value
of imports, S1,226,615,379, or an av7
erage of over $1OO,OOO.OOO a month,
is a gain of $1O9,1O2,3O8 over the
preceding year, while the total value
of exports, $1,74S,763.612, against
S1,57s,561, 666 in the preceding year,
is gain of 5,2O1,S46.
Thus the export gain of almost ex-
actly a quarter of a billion dollars dur
ing the fiscal year just ended If nc
more than repeated during the ensuing
twelve months will bring our sales
abroad up to the enormous total OF
two billion dollars. The increase IN
imports, being somewhat under 10 pei
cent, and bringing the total up to one
and a quarter billions. shows strik
ing contrast between increasing pur
chasing power and relatively decreas
ing necessity TO buy abroad.
The merchandise balance In oul
favor, therefore, is over a half billion
or, TO be exact, $517,14S,2SS, thu
greatest in our history, save only il
the fiscal year OF 1901.
The aggregates of foreign trad
transactions, requiring now to b.
