Inequalities of Taxation.

Few principles are sacred or ancient
as that which says that taxation shall be
levied equally upon all classes upon which
the burden is imposed. Our local taxes
are the heaviest burdens OF this kind We
bear. Determinations in this state have ex-
listed and exist today, both in great and
small things. l see no reason why a build
ing rented and used for gain for various
purposes should escape taxation on the
theory il is exempt because a business col
lege is located in II. We have the offices
OF the salvation Army in The Bee building,
and Christian Scientists and other sects
have met there regularly by the hundreds.
yet l have never been relieved of paying
taxes on the building because IL is used for
religious purposes. Yet in the matter OF
business colleges the supreme court inter-
prets the law in the sense that the struc-
ture is exempt.
Within twenty years the United States
and our insular possessions will produce
everything we need or use, with the possible
exception of tea. lmpOrtatiOns will stop
and revenues from tariff will dwinde prac-
tically TO nothing.

Edward Rosewater discussed various

first meeting Of the year Sunday afternoon.
MIR. Rosewater talked nearly forty min

conclusions endorsing the presidents plan
OF rate regulation and his views in favor
of a graduated income tax were applauded.
Under our system of government" said
he. corporate creatures must be subor-
dinate to the great power of state and
nation. In the early days the government
built highways and canals and exacted toll
for their use. No one proclaimed that the
government did not have the right to make
the charges and collect them. In the past
1t was the fashion of railway attorneys
to argue that the government had no right
to regulate rates for public carrying serv-
ice. l remember hearing Mr.. Blanchard,
representing the Erie road. argue before
the Interstate Commerce commission of
the house that congress had no more right
to interfere with railway rates than IL
had in a private hardware or other business
of the type.

Perverseness of Magnates.

ut seems strange to me that the railroad
magnates should be willing TO trust their
rate affairs to the judges of courts rather
than to a group of experts known as inter-
state commerce commissioners. l think
the opposition lies in the fact that II is
proposed TO require a decision from the
commission in rate cases within thirty
days. Delays attendant upon litigation
would please the railroads more.
Last October, in conversation with
Jacob Schiff of the Union Pacific in New
York, the matter OF time seemed to form
his greatest opposition to the presidents
plan, 80 far as | could determine. He did
not want any specified time set for reaching
conclusions. We know that in the courts
years go by and decisions come not. In the
meantime your shipper who complained
against rate may be ruined half dozen
times. or the use OF inventions and mod
ern methods make the rate contended for
ridiculous. Within the last few years the
cost of transportation has been materially
lessened. Ordinary carload capacity has
advanced from twenty or thirty tons to
fifty; more powerful engines are used, less
trainmen, ana so on.

Railroads Shift Position.
las the years have gone by the railroads
have abandoned this doctrine and the propo-
sition now argued is that congress has no
right to delegate rate-making powers to
subordinate bodies. They say that to give
the Interstate Commerce commission the
right to fix rates would be usurpation OF
the constitution. OF course until the SUI
preme court speaks the question Is open.
l believe 1t Is necessary to protect the
patrons of the public carriers from the
greed of the latter, and that this protec-
ton should be extended, even though the
constitution has to be amended to do it.
This question is to be tested soon.
1.-The position taken by the president in
this matter is simply that all shippers be
treated alike and the large shipper not be
permitted to fatten at the expense of the
small one, whether it be by secret tariffs,
rebates or otherwise. So often have the
railroads asserted since the Elkins law was
passed that they have not violated 1t that
their very protestations seem to imply
guilt and the suspicion created that viola
tions did occur at least up to few months
ago. They protest too much.
Rebates Come VariousIy.
Rebates necessarily do not have to come
from railroad companies. l was talking
to an Omaha merchant the other day who
informed me that his rebates came through
the Merchants Dispatch line. The process
can be likened to that of whipping the
devil around a stump, and it is the big
shipper who gets favored all the time.
The private car lines procure advantageous
contracts with the railroads and are en-
abled to offer rates lower than the reg
lie
the man with lots of freight to ship
that gets a discrimination in his favor.
1.-The United States government is the
heaviest individual shipper in the country,
paying, it is estimated, 900 annually
! to the railroads. But the government has
| yet to be accused OF receiving rebates.
| Next to the government are the express
| companies, but they pay not much more
than 80 per cent of the amount the gov
/ eminent pays for mail service, for the
! transportation of cars of express matter
on the same trains. If the government
paid no more than the express companies
! for mail service there would be an annual
surplus in the Postoffce department larger
than the present annual deficit. The rail-
roads. entrenched in power, have prevented
any change in the rates in twenty years
| also any changes in the method of weigh
ing mail every four years to determine a
basis for paying each road Once every
four years the mail on each road is weighed
and the result is used in the bills for the
next four years.
! Twenty years ago I exposed frauds in
the weighing of mail at Omaha, The SEN
sation produced did some good but 1 have
no doubt that the abuses have crept back
again, although ] not now able e

AMATEUR : BOXING
Is DEALT ITS
DEATH BLOW.

That death blow to amateur box
ing has been delivered at last is the
opinion Of those in touch with the sit
uation Now that the Pacific Athletic
Association and the Olympic Club off
cials have washed their hands of the
sport there seems little chances for it
to continue. 1t is believed the Super
visors will refuse to grant any more
amateur permits. The regular profes-
sional fights seem to be the only ones
in sight
The amateur promoters are talking
of forming an association of their own.
Whether the Supervisors will recog-
nize this body remains to be seen.
About two years ago, when the Pacific
Athletic Association threw out the
amateur boxers, the promoters took
this action. but the difficulty was
patched up before the attention of the
Supervisors was brought to the matter.
At present the Supervisors are very
busily engaged with more important
matters and have not had time to
consider the boxing situation. The anna
teur game of fisticuffs ceases to be
such when out of the hands of the
Pacific Athletic Association. The Su-
pervisors will have to decide. whether
permits for this sport will be issued
as in the past or else issued as they
are to the regular professional clubs.
President William Greer Harrison of
the Olympic Club says the officials of
the big institution propose to bring out
regularly accredited amateurs from the
East every year. They will be given
the trophies provided by the Amateur
Athletic Union of AMERICA. Mr.. Har-
rison says the club will have nothing
more to do with the local amateurs,
as they are all schemers and out for
the money there is in the game.

promising effort for the British title,

which ended, however. with the repre-
sentative of the dominion being only
one up on the first round of eighteen

PLACE HONORS TO
FIRST MASONRY
A NECK.

NEW YORK. July 14.-Ram's Horn. a
-year-old son of Bute-Aunt Tessa,
owned by Captain w. S. Williams, a
Western horseman, and ridden by
Jockey Sewell, won the rich Brighton
handicap at Brighton Beach this after
noon before a crowd which overtaxed
the facilities at the seaside track. The
Western colt went to the.post at 9 to
in tire betting, being second choice to
Dandelion, the favorite at to 1.
Pressing the winner at the finish was
First Mason, which finished second,
beaten a neck. A length farther back
and taking the short end of the purse
was Tokalon, winner of the Brooklyn
handicap. All three horses that fin
ished lin the money" are owned by
Western men. First Mason was at 10
to 1 in the betting, while 20 to 1 was
freely given against the chances of
Tokalon.
Rams Horns victory was popular,
for he was probably the most heavily
played horse in the race and the only
one to be backed down from, the open
ing quotation. The first price laid
against him was to 1, and. despite the
golden stream which poured in on Dan
delion, Whimsical Flip Flap and sew
eral others of the more fancied horses,
the play on RAMS Horn forced the
bookmakerS to cut him to 9 to 2. The
time of the race, 2:03 3-5, while not

the all-aged handcaps, and. coming
