THE CHESTER
TAKES WATER
New Scout Cruiser Intended
to Make a Great Speed
Standard.
BY Associated Press.

Washington, June 26.-The scout
cruiser Chester, which was launched
at the Bath, Me, iron works today,
is one of. a class of three vessels TO
be known as scout cruisers author
lied by congress, April II, 1904. The
cost of the vessel will be S1,6SS, 900
It's construction is entirely of new
pattern as far as the United States
is concerned and is very similar to
that of the English turbine scout
ships.
The contract speed is tWenty-fOur
knots and is exceeded only by that
of the torpedo boats and dcstroyers
While the speed is slightly less than
that of the English scouts, the differ
ence is more than compensated for by
the ability to maintain the high speed
in all conditions Of weather, and hav-
ing TWICE the coal capacity of the
English scouts, the radius of action s
consequently very much greater. The
length of the vessel over all is 423
feet and l inch. It's breadth measures
As feet inches; draft fully loaded 10
feet, IL inches and displacement
fully loaded 4,640 tons. The maximum
indicated horse power of the main
engines is estimated to be 10000

To PLAY 1T

Teams of the City League
to Play There Instead
of Regular Place.

Instead of playing their usual
double-hedder at Palmetto Beach, the
four teams of the City League to play
this week. will be seen on the diamond
at Magnolia Bluff tomorrow. where
the annual picnic of the Order of
Railway Conductors Is to occur.
The first game, which will be be-
tween the Orioles and Warringtons,
will be called at 2:30 O'Clock, and
the second game, between the East
Ends and Founders will be started
Immediately after the completion OF
the first. Notwithstanding the fact
that no Sunday games are now being
played in the league much interest is
still manifested and the fact that a
double-header is TO be played at Mag
nOlia Bluff will have the effect Of
drawing many to that place.

capitalization
and Tax Dodging.

The question of capitalization of
railroads in such a way as to dodge
taxation, while not new, is one of the
vital questions or the day, and is re-
ceiving the thoughtful consideration
of the people in every section of the
country.
The majority of the railroads value
their roadbed and rolling stock at a
certain figure for the purpose OF hav-
ing taxes assessed but when it comes
to the question of earning a dividend
on the amount of money invested they
place these valuations at a much
higher figure. In the case of one of
the railroads in this state, it is as
serted that the valuation a mile for
the purpose OF taxation is six thou
sand dollars. while this same road
puts a valuation of forty-eight thou
sand dollars a mile on their road for
the purpose OF showing the earnings
on their investment. This is mani
festly unjust, and the day is not far
distant when this matter will be prop
erly regulated in the different states.
The United States supreme court, in
a decision involving this very point,
has said IF a railroad company has
bonded its property for an amount
that exceeds its fair value. or if its
capitalization is largely fictitious, it
can not impose upon the public the
burden of such increased rates as
may be required for realizing profits
upon such excessive valuation or fic-
titiOus capitalization" Thus it would
seem that the practice is not looked
upon with favor by the highest tribu-
nal in the land, and with this endorse
ment of the proposition to break up
this tax doging practice. the states
should set to work at once to remedy
the evil.
A novel decision along this line has
recently been handed down by a fed
eral judge in Missouri. The recent
Legislature of that state passed a bill
requiring all railroads in the state to
put into effect a two-cent passenger
rate. The railroads at once sought
70 restrain the enforcement of the
law, and attempted TO show that the
earnings of the roads on their invest
ments would not warrant them in re-
ducinS the passenger fares: that If
the law was enforced they would lose
money. The state answered by con.
tending that the roads would not lose
money, and cited the fact of these
excessive valuations. The court
very wisely decided that the only way
in which the matter could be definite |
y settled as to whether or not the
road was losing money was to let
them have a trial at the reduced rate, |
and IL accordingly refused the in |
junction, but in doing so stated that
at the end of ninety days the court !
would hear arguments again on the /
question, and the railroad compa MES /
could at that time bring their books |
into court and show whether or not
they had lost money at the reduced |
rate for passenger travel
