was necessary to excavate about 100000
cubic yards. A complete system of elec-
trio arc lights has been installed in the
yard, greatly facilitating the handling of
trains at night. The drainage of the
yard is well appointed, concrete fumes
being laid up the sides of slopes and
emptying into culverts through castiron
pipes, These culverts run under the
canal on the south side of the yard.
The grade of the receiving yard is 3
per cent ascending to the foot of the
hump" then 1 per cent grade to the
summit of the hump" The average
grade in the yard is about the same as
that on the different divisions, and an
engine reaching Weverton with train
of sixty-tive cars will need no helper in
pulling into the yard.
In accordance with the policy of Presi-
dent Murray in beautifying the right of
way along the Baltimore e. Ohio the
sloping elevation of the Brunswick yard
has been sown with grass seed and the
yard being some feet higher than the
main tracks running around it on both
sides the improvement will have the ap-
pearance of a large flower bed

WHEN CITY PAYS EMPLOYEES
100000 GOES TO STORES

Promises have been made to city en-
ployes that they will get their overdue
pay before Christmas.
Hundreds of policemen. firemen, street
laborers and office men and women will
get sums aggregating about 100000, which
will flow back into the local holiday
trade channels.
The shortage is due largely to the act
that apportionments were made without
any knowledge that the tax period would
be extended, the auditor figuring that the
usual inflow of October and November
taxes would furnish abundant means.
The first apportionment in November
went to pay previous overdrafts, and
since then the income of the city has
been at low ebb.
Taxes are now coming In at the rate of
over $4,000 a day, and If it keeps on
growing until the last day of the year,
as seems likely, conditions will for time
at least be materially bettered.

DEMAND THAT
CORPORATIONS

STATE COMMISSION ASKS FOR
NEW LAW
PROVIDES PENALTIES FOR ALL
DODGERS
Any information Desired from Conn
panies Must Be Furnished
Promptly, According to
Proposed Statute
~ Assoc,ated 4 Press.

nv Associated Press.
SACRAMENTO. Dec. 1s.-Enactment Of
laws which will compel corporations to
give to the state board of equalization all
OF the information which the board con-
siders necessary for making just assess
ments Of their properties was considered
at length by the state revenue and taxa
tion commission and the state board OF
equalization today, along with other mat
ters of Importance.
The commission took up the taxation OF
banks and insurance companies, and the
subject of penalties to be imposed upon
the failure of such corporations to make
reuorts as required by the state board OF
equalization, and what machinery should
he provided for the payment OF various
corporation taxes
Provides Penalties
Az TO penalties, it was the decision that
there should not only be penalties for
officers Of corporations who failed to ap-
near when cited, but also for the cor
norations themselves in case they refuse
to allow examination OF their DOCKS OF
to furnish information desired by the
emalization board. In the latter case 1t
was the opinion that the penalty should
consist of q very heavy monetary fine.
AS to the manner of payment of taxes.
Il was informally agreed that after the
state board Of equalization has fixed the
taxes to be paid by the defendant cor
porations a certified roll or list shall pc
transmitted to the state controller ana
notice given to all these corporations 10
pay the taxes assessed against them, pay
ment to be made to the state treasurer.
When state Controller Nye was asked
how the changing of the code in this re-
aard would affect such cases as tnat or
the Pullman company, which last ran olo
not give to the state board certain ln1or-
nation desired, on the ground that the
officials could not furnish such informa-
tion, he said:
Would Catch Pullman Company
aft was stated by the officials of the
Pullman company that they were not IN
n position to give certain Information
asked by the, state board-in some m
stances holding that the Southern racine
and Santa Fe companies were the only
ones who could furnish the information
desired.
AIJnder the new law proposed, it would
he compulsory on the part of such COM
panfes to give the information asked as
the law would be specific and enumerate
inst what is required of the companies;
also that neither the Pullman company
nor any other would be able TO get
around 1t"
The session of the commission came to
a close today. No date was set Tor an
other meeting, and 1t Is probable that
none will be held for six months. The
commission makes it's report direct to the
legislature, and it is probable that the
one made to the next legislature will be
quite as comprehensive as that made
wear ago, as the commission is taking UP
many new problems and will have num-
her of recommendations to make regard
ing changes in existing laws.

Editor Bulletin: The residents of
Twenty-flfth street between Washing
ton avenue and Walnut street beg to
announce through the columns of The
Bulletin hat our street has been lost
for the past few weeks and we are
considering the idea of offering a re-

cf the members of the street commit
tee specially Is called TO this fact and
IL Is thought they might prove very
successful contestants especially when
a prize is offered.
The residents have been searching
for a walk over said block
for quite a number Of days. but so far
they have been able to locate only the
projecting ends of some warped
planks which served as a sort of a
float during "sipe water time" We
have been looking over both sides of
the street for a way 20 get in or out,
but have decided that the old saying
keep in the middle Of the road Is a
safe maxim to follow in this case.

TOO MUCH GOVERNED.

1.-THE world is governed too much.
said Thomas Jefferson, and he also
said. THAT nation Is governed best
that is governed least" These say
ings Of Mr. Jefferson have long been
axioms in American politics. Is there
rot danger that we are forgetting
those axioms. and going to the ex-
IRENE in regulating everything by
statute law? Blaeksmiths must be
licensed to shoe horses. Railroad
rates must be fixed rigldly by statute
law. and not by competition. Senator
Veveridge would regulate child labor
in the most drastic manner by refus-
ing a market to any goods in the max
ing of which child labor is in any way
employed. Children of a certain age
must not be permitted to earn any
money, even If an invalid and wild
owed mother starves to death. Ma
tural laws are to be supplanted in all
cases by rigid statute law. Is ii wise?
May II not be true that too much regu-
lation of business may be worse han
no regulation? Government by com
mission may kin competition. Is it
wise to appoint government commits
sions to regulate all kinds of bust
ness? Was Thomas jefferson right
when he declared the world is gov
erned too much and that nation Is
hest governed that is governed leas 2"
These are questions worth thinking
about Between the laws of the states.
and the laws of congress, and the laws
