Receives Seven Cents Per Ton From

Philadelphia, June 10. The Bar
wind-White Coal Mining Company
was the issue before the Interstate
Commerce commission when It re.
sumed its investigation into the rela.
lions of railroads to coal and oil in
terests. Probably the most important
fact brought out was that the coal
company is allowed seven cents a ton
by the railroad company for handling
its cars on the Harsimus pier. This
sum allowance gives the coal com
pany about $4,000 a month for this
service. The work is performed. how

with railroad locomotives. for which
the coal company makes monthly set.

CARL SCHURz.

The career of the famous Carl Schurz
York City. is one of the highest and
most effective tributes which can be
paid to the generosity and assimllative
character OF our institutions. Prescribed
and outlawed in his own country, he
came to this: and throughout his career
he was permitted to exercise here the
brilliant talents and to display the good
aspirations and the erratic disposition
which had brought him into conflict
with the laws of his own land Nay,
more than permitted-for he was ad-
vanced to the highest places which q
forelgn-born citizen could hold
The very versatility Of Carl Schurz
constituted at once his great attraction
and the means of his rapid success in
all the domains of our national life
years, the cause of his loss OF public
power He never was able to rid him
self OF the idea that institutions needed
to be overturned, 1t Is true that he
fought under the flag Of the Union for
the preservation of the integrity of our
Government (althoush his military ser
Vice was not conspicuous success)
but In his civic career, both as states
man and publicist, he betrayed alto
gether too much Of the self-satisfled
iconoclast to be genuinely helpful
force.
Schurz was the emperor OF egotists
In one OF his novels clearly an autobI-
ographlcal sketch-written shortly af-
ter his term In the Cabinet OF PresI-
dent Hayes-he makes his forelgn-bor
hero the cause of an amendment to
the Constitution so that a naturalized
citizen might become President OF the
United States. And to further indicate
the identity of the individual. In whose

own denomination predominance, and
would compel children OF parents of
other opinions TO accept their own re
liGious dogmas. But it Ia not to be
supposed for a moment that such mean
and unjust claims would be long all
lowed among fair minded people. and
the probability of the passage of Mr..
Birrelfs bill grows as the discussion
clears the points for It, and shows more
and more strongly the injustice of the
present system, with its levies on prop
erty to raise taxes which opposing sec
taries are unwilling to pay. and Its In
Vasion of private conscience. The fact
Is, that the proposed measure is an
ideal one, from the standpoint of those
who insist upon somewhat OF religious
instruction in the schools, and it Will
probably pass.

ENGLAND's PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

England has been In ferment on the
school question for four years, since
the passage OF the act of 1902 which
made her public schools practically all
religious schools. The passive resist
ance Of the nonconformists or religious
dissenters TO the enforcement of that
law, under which their children must
be sent to religious schools not their
own, and taught religious formulate
which are obnoxious to the parents to-
sether with the levy and sale of their
property when they refuse to pay the
school taxes, has formed one of the
pathetic expressions of the time The
injustice of this, the unfairness of COM
pelling religious conformance In the
schools where there are divided sects
whose liberty of opinion is thus in
vaded. is so manifest, that the British
sense OF fair play has been aroused.
and the demand that the oppression
must be lifted has caused the present
Liberal Cabinet TO back Mr. Augustine
Birrell. the Minister of Education. in q
new educational bill which Will if
passed. completely change the religious
status Of the schools and correct the
evils of the present law
Mr.. Birrelrs bill would make all the
schools maintained by the local educa-
tlonal authorities. provided" that is.
sustained by the public. At present.
these are provided and "non-pro-
vided" schools. The provided" schools
are taught by and are under the con-
troll of the leading sects In the different
localities, and get the public taxes. The
"non-provided" schools are sectarian
schools also, but must get along as best
they may, without any support from
public funds.
Under the proposed bill, all the
schools may be provided schools. but

sectarian character. All Will be allowed

VALUATION INCREASE.

The increased valuation OF the as

Under the same law Of valuation, and
by the same official as did the work
last year. there is shown an increase

o3S the present year This without the
valuation OF railroads. telegraphs, and
telephones yet to be added by the State
Board Of Equalization,
The assessment for this city this year
(k39 42o.53D stands about the same on
the Assessors valuation that it did on
the completed valuation last year. That
is. the realty. Improvements. and per-
sonal property this year aggregate as
much as these with the railroads, tele-
graphs. and telephones all together
amounted 10 last year. This proves In
tndisputahle figures the great and rapid
growth OF the city's wealth For, no
one reports his property on a tax roll
merely to make n show; he doesn't
want TO make n show, but gladly sees
as small figures as possible put against
his name. This is exemplifled in this

there is less money in Salt Lake county

possibly be said Is that there may be
less liable to assessment, though there
is certainly more In fact.
The growth of property values is GER
tainly. strong and gratifying. And
when the valuation of the State Board

will stand out with even greater promi-
nence than II does In the preliminary

ONE HUNDRED MEN.

There Is q story current In eccle-
| siastical circles that several self-re-
specting men OF the Mormon church
demanded the retirement of Joseph NJ
Tanner as superintendent OF Mormon
church schools. They urged their view
upon the president of the church on the
ground that Tanner was utterly un-
worthy Of the place which he held, and
that his career was at once a danger
within the community life and provo
cation to an attack from the outside
upon the community life.
These men effected the reform which
they demanded. because they had the
courage to say the thing which needed
to be said TO the chief hierarch. Sup
pose there were one hundred such
brave. straightforward and devoted
men, who would formulate a Magma
Charta for the membership of the
Mormon church, and present that doc
ument to the prophet seer and reve-
lator-avowing their determination to
stand for its principles and to refuse
their continued allegiance until its
principles should be established. There
is no doubt that President Smith would
yield. He would be compelled to,
1t is. therefore, within the power OF
one hundred Mormons to settle their
troubles within the church and with
the Nation.
They fear to act individually because
the prophet visits vengeance upon
every known critic of his misgovern-
ment. But II they were a body one
hundred strong, Smith dare not attack
them.
The end Will be attained. but In all
probability 1t must come through the
pressure from the outside. The Nor
mon community will suffer for months
and years. until the reforms are slowly
and painfully worked out Amendment
TO the National Constitution will place
polygamous offenses under the Federal
Jurisdiction. Judicial proceedings will
force an accounting of the tithes. and
probably a redistribution of the prop
erty. 1t is even possible that Utahs |
Statehood may be lost. Whatever the .
necessary measures they Will be taken
by this country to put an end to the |
fraud and the iniquity of the present
Of the Mormon church.
One hundred rcsolute men within the |
church could do generally. what few
men did in the special case of Tanner:
They could compel the false prophet. to
grant the reforms.
