PRESENT TO p. r. Il.
Charge That Block of Trolley Stock
Has GiUen for FaUors.
rBy Telegraph to The Tribune.l

Pittsburg. May 31.-Alegations that the Penn
sylvania Railroad owns enough trolley stock to
make it independent if freight bill should be
passed by the next Legislature are growing
common, and II is now openly asserted that off,
cials forced present of a block from the OHara
Street Railway Company. The company pro-
posed extending its line from Aspinwan TO
Tarentum. For over year IL was unable to
stick pick in the ground because of the oppo-
stiOn Of the Pennsylvania.
The company has a charter in the Allegheny
Valley which makes IL impossible for opposi-
tion concern to get in without its consent. The
consent perssrently withheld. A short time
ago it suddenly given and work has been
proceeding briskly the line ever since.

FREIGHT BROKERS HIT.
Court Enjoins Railroads from Con-
tinuiRg Commissions.
TBy Telegraph to The Tribune J

wnyrar-kA. Nav sl-The United States Circuit

road rebate case sustaining the contention Of the
ecvernrneut The Milwaukee Refrigerator Transit
Company, the Wisconsin Central the Erie. the
Alton the St Louis & San Francisco. the Rock
Island and the Pere Marquette roads are enjoined
from continuing commission agreements with pri-
vate car lines.
The court holds that the Elkins law cannot be
evded by private car devices; that refrigerator or
transit companies bear the same relation to rail-
roads as shippers. and cannot receive commissions
for giving roads the business, and that railroads
cannot accept freight from such companies al less
;han the published tariffs.
The ruling is very broad. and puts an end 20
freight brokers means for getting around the
Elldrs act
The complaint was made thai the refrigerator
company had received commissions Of from 10 10 p
pr cent on all shipments OF beer OF the Pahst
Brewing Company routed by the refrigerator COM
psnv The railroad compani - admitted having
made such concessions. but asserted that these had
been paid the same as commissions TO other freight
solicitors

Bisbee daily review., 1906-09-12

The Denver News makes a good sug- gestion when it says that the most in structive convention now within reach of Denver would be one projected upon dry farming lines and limited, for the present at least. to Nebraska, Kansas, Wyoming and Colorado. For such an exhibit and convention Denver would prove a convenient central point. To increase the value of the gathering efforts should be made to secure the attendance of tanners, dairymen and fruit raisers who own lands in the SO called arid regions. and who have shown by experience what is really meant by dry farming-the conserva ton and best use of the rainfall and moisture that nature provides. The
 News should have included New Mex ico and Arizona in the political sub
 divisions to be represented in the dry
 farming convention. Both territories
 have been engaged in dry farming fol
 years and their people no doubt would
 be willing to give and take advice or this very important subject.

for any more unequal law to be pass ed than that now in operation. A bullion tax will fall on the producers. and give encouragement for the de- velopment of mines that at present are only prospects, while now it means ruin for one anu a heavy load for the other.
 ''rhe increase noted on the patented mines throughout the territory is such a one that the small owner will be un- able in many instances to meet the assessment, and these properties will fall into the hands of large corpora tions who can take care of the taxes. While much good has been done in the raising of taxes on mining prop erty we sincerely believe that a great CT benefit will occur when just and equitable bullion tax is levied, than the indiscriminate raising in value oi all the mining property in the terri tory"

The official announcement is out that the directors of the Cananea Gen. tral Copper Company do not propose to exchange Cananea Central stock, at any ration, for the minority holdings of the Cananea Duluth Company. Mir. Ccngdon states that the directors never had any intention of so doing, and that all of the stock in the Cana lea Central has long ago been issued. It is apparent that some interested parties have boosted Cananea & Du luth. to their own enrichment, by cir. cuiating alleged inside information that the small stockholders in Cana nea & Duluth company were to be taken care of by the Cananea Cen tIal company. On the strength of these reports, local investors paid as high as $500 per share, immediately following the news of the purchase of the majority of the stocK ot the Cananea & Duluth by the Cole inter. ests. On the other hand the Cole Greene crowd could have put an end to these rumors, no doubt now csrcu- lated for purpose, by issuing a plain statement regarding their attitude toN ards the minority holders in the Car anea-Duluth Company, immediate ly following the transfer of the prop erty. Such a statement would have put an end to fictious values regarding Cananea-Duluth stock. following the announcement of the sale, and some Bisbee and Cananea people would be several dollars richer.

w ELL SAID.

WELL SAID.
 Discussing the necessity for more equitable law under which to tax the mining property in Arizona the Mo renci Standard we'll says:
 "One of the most important issues that will come befefe the next Ari- zona legislature will be the conysder- atioa of equal taxation of mining prop erty throughout the territory, and a distribution of taxes on this property so that the producing mines wiu bear their just proportion of taxes, and save the small owner from ruin. The law as it is now interpreted places the non producing mines on value basis, nearly equal to those of the produc- CTS, and while the revenue from one is known, and the other is not, no con sideration seems to have been taken Of the fact in raising the assessments against the property.
 During the term of Governor Brodie he transmitted to the legislature a message embodying the principal fea lures since advocated by many of the leading men of the territory, for bull lion tax. instead of tax upon the mines themselves. This seems to b. the most feasible scheme of taxation where the small owner and prospecto will not suffer as they now do. While 1t may be true that it will be practical ly impossible to at firlt so frame | measure that will be just for all con cerned, there is no possible chanc

Our Republican friends are attempt ing to make the most of Bryan's ut terances in favor of government ownership of railroads. which the Ne braskan proposes as the last remedy, when all other efforts fail, to curb the power of the railroad trust in this country. It is not at all probable that Bryan will insist on this declaration being put in the Democratic platform of 1908. Even if it was proposed we
 believe that the Democrats of the country, in convention assembled, would vote it down. The Republican press of the country is grasping franti- cally at every straw to magnify Democratic differences. Bryan is not infalible, and does not pretend to be. He is right about so many things, great and eloquently right, and comes nearer the American ideal of Presi- dent of the people, than any man since Jackson's day, that there IS no fear of his nomination and election two years hence. With Bryan in the White House, the people propose 10 do a little lobbying" themselves in an
 effort to secure the passage Of some laws having for their object the great est good to the greatest number, in- stead of continual legislation in favor of a select class as against the masses.
