Stockers and Feeders.

Chicago, Oct. 1O.-No important
change is noted in the market 70:
stockers and feeders. The demand from
the country was light and local dealers
were not inspired with much conf
dence regarding the near future Re-
ceipts have been moderate thus far this
week, but apparently they were heavy
enough to fill all the requirements of
the demand. Local dealers say they
are paying fully steady prices for all
of the good to choice heavy feeders
and they are finding fairly satisfac-
tory outlet for the cattle of that class.
Common and light stockers, however,
are hard to sell and are getting lower
every week. Altho many of these thin
light steers are offered at s2.50@3.60.
there are not many buyers at these
prices, for the demand calls for some
thing better.

the undoing OF energetic business men
of small capital by discrimination In
favor Of their stronger competitors
and expressed the opinion that our gov
eminent could not long exist If the rail
roads were permitted to continue such
abuse Of their powers His remedy for
existing evils was clothing the inter
state commerce commission or some
similar body with adequate powers to
alter rate or to place given rate In
effect subject only to reversal by tho
United States courts. This commission
should also be enabled to control the
issuance Of real stocks and bonds,
should have access to corporations
books and should have power to make
decisions in connection with rebates
and demurrage charges and other mat
tiers Of the same character.
Speaking of the railroad laws passed
by the last session Of the Minnesota
legislature, he stated that one of these
gave the railroad commissioners of Min
nesota jurisdiction over freight rates
and classi6cations and power to inspect
books Of all carriers; second, forbids
rebates and Determinations Of all sorts
with penalty of $4,000 against the
giver or the taker Of the rebate. Con-
gress was also petitioned to abolish
private car lines and to give the inter
state commerce commission actual pow
er to enforce rate.

Till,nan's Opportunity.

Senator Aldrich doubtless thought to
;ridicule the whole movement for rate
reform by moving that, Senator Tillman
report the bill to the senate, but he will
probably fail. The important thing is
not who reports the bill, but the fact
that the Hepburn bill is reported. The
people want the bill, they will take it
from the senate by q partizan vote or
by non-partizan vote. So far as the
appointment Of Tillman points to non
partizan consideration it is welcomed.
SO far as 1t was meant to show Stand
ard Oil contempt and hatred for the
whole proceedings it will fail.
Tillman is not without ability. He Is
not without those characteristics which
make friends. He is also not without
grave faults as a legislator. He is un-
couth, unmannerly and at times unbear-
able. But he is neither SNUG, Peck
sniffian, nor treacherous to his const1t-
uents. With all his faults he is bet
ter representative Of the people in the
senate than either Aldrieh or Elkins.
With the responsibility Of taking care
Of the Hepburn bill on his hands, per-
haps Tillman will rise to the occasion.
If he does not, there will be others to
take up the work.

a New Scheme of Taxation

The city Of Berlin is considering a
scheme of taxation which will if eff
fective attack one of the faults Of
modern political economy complained of
by Henry George in his "Progress and
Poverty.' Mr.. George in advocacy of
his single tax scheme, suggested the
taxation Of the rental value out of the
land. This he believed would prevent
it being held for speculative purposes,
and would compel the use Of the land
nearest the centers of cities first. The
Berlin plan is to put a. tax on the I'M
earned increment of value. If a man,
for example, bought lot for $1,000
and sold it a year later for $4,000, the
tax would be against the $1,000 Of
profit, with an allowance for any money
that might have been put into the
property in the meantime, No provi-
sion seems to be made for the case Of
a man who buys real estate and after
wards is compelled to part with it for
less than he put into it.. The city fines
him for showing good Judgment, but
considers that his bad Judgment is not
concern Of the government. Mr..

An Important Decision

:: Inc decision of the United States
supreme court in the case of the Chesa-
peake & Ohio and New York, New Ha-
ven & Hartford railroads in the coal
carrying case is regarded as moro i'm.
portant in its bearings upon the rela-
ton OF the railroads to Interstate com.
merce than the Northern Securities de-
clslon. The facts In that case were
that the Chesapeake & Ohio contracted
to deliver to the other railroad a large
quantity Of coal at rate which. con.
s1der1ng the cost Of producing coal at
the mines and its published tariff. left
It. no profit. In response the Chesa-
peake & Ohio set up that it had mined
the coal at a. loss and carried it at q
published tariff. The court found this
contention without merit. There is an
ascertaina BILE value Of coal at the mine.
