BREAK ALL RECORDS.

I'm the fiscal year just closed the
railroads of the United States Gave
broken all records SO far as volume
of business goes, and there has been
an enormous increase in gross re.
ceipts; nevertheless the year goes
down in railroad history marked by a
more enormous increase in operating
expenses and by a moderate increase
in net earnings-and net earnings are
what the stockholders and others in
terested in the financial matters of
the country study the most. Should
business continue as heavy as at the
present time and increase in the usual
proportion as the fall season comes
on, no doubt better results will be
realized than under present condi-
tions, as the equipment is in excellent
order and track conditions so much
improved that freights can be moved
to better advantage than at any time
in the history of the roads in the Unit
ed States.

DEMAND FOR EXPERTS.

Time is showing that there are few
rate experts compared to the number
needed now in the tariff revision
work and it is impossible to create
such experts except by long years of
training. The confusion which is be-
ing caused by the discrepancy be-
tween state and interstate passenger
rates is likely to continue for some
time, according to the passenger rep
resentatives of the railways, but IL
is emphatically denied, however, that
the railroads are trying to delay put
ting in interstate rates upon the basis
of cents mile in order to punish
the public for insisting upon reduc-
ton of the various state rates. Some
idea of the difficulty under which the
railroads are laboring this year will
be gathered when it is stated that
there are few roads on which expen-
ses for the year for the publication
of tariffs will be less than S25, 900,
and that there are many large sys-
TENS where the expense will be four
times this sum. To change tariff
which contains several hundred pages
is difficult and tedious task

MANY SITES OFFERED
FOR A new HOSPITAL
Tuberculosis Commission Hold
A Session.
NO DECISION is REACHED.

Indianapolis, July 13.-The tubercu
losis commission appointed by Cover
nor Hanly to select site for a state
hospital for the treatment of tuber
culosis patients met at the State House
yesterday. and each of the five mem
bers reported different sites that car
be obtained.
Favorable reports were made on sites
in Franklin. Owen, Morgan and Brown
counties. The state will be able tC
obtain land in these counties at prices
ranging from S25 to $40 an acre.
One of the sites discussed is situated
in Owen county, near Spencer. 1t con.
sists of about 600 acres. and is known
as the Calvin Fletcher farm.
In all, about ten sites have been rec
commended to the commission. Moth
ing definite was accomplished yester-
day. The commission will hold anoth.
err meeting July "a. when all Of the
propositions will be carefully consid-
cred. 1t is likely that a selection viii
be made on that date.
The last legislature set aside an ap-
preparation of $4,000 with which to
purchase land for hospital for con-
sumptives. Five hundred acres OF
land will be bought. No attempt will
be made TO erect a hospital on the site
until the next legislature meets and
makes a special appropriation for hos
pital buildings.

WHEAT YIELDS IRREGULAR
Trade Authority Estimates Winter
Yield Close to 400, 200, 900
Bushels.

ST. Louis, Mo-, July 13.-Modern
Miller says of the wheat situation:
Thrashing returns of winter wheat
show unusually irregular yields per
acre, but yields fully up to expecta-
tons are those that fell below pre-
vious estimates. A winter wheat
crop of between 395, 900 900 and 400
100000 bushels is probable The quail
ity of the grain is good, testing high
in weight, except where cheat is
found in the soft winter wheat. The
milling quality of both soft and hard
winter wheat is satisfactory. Farm
ers are selling freely.

DRASTIC ANTITRUST LAW.

The most drastic antitrust law in
the United States went into effect in
Texas, Friday. 1t provides that any
person who represents as agent or
shall be deemed guilty of a felony and
upon trial and conviction shall be SEN
fenced to the penitentiary for from two
to ten years Moreover, this law does
not recognize ignorance as an excuse.
According to the way we interpret
this unique law the citizens of Texas
are going to feel it's effects in more
ways than one. If faithfully carried
out the law will certainly succeed in
Texas, as no one will dare handle
them. For example, most of the
matches consumed in the United States
are manufactured by the Diamond
Match company, so-called trust. I'm
der this new law the merchants of
Texas will not be allowed to handle the
Diamond Match company's matches.
This ought TO afford some enterprising
Yankee splendid opportunity to make
ans. Furthermore, as practically all
the thread consumed in this country
is manufactured by a trust, Texans will
have to do without that rather useful
article. We suggest that Texans read
the story of Robinson Cruso to solve
the problem of obtaining a substitute
for thread.
OF course the action of the Texa s
legislature in passing such law
shows that it is opposed to the eco
nomic principle governing the consoli-
dation of Independent manufacturing
plants into combinations or trusts, a j
point of view for which the trusts are
more or less to blame. The originators
and promoters of most of our trusts
have promoted the present era of I'll
feeling through their stock market
and political manipulations. They
inflated the values of the stocks of |
trusts and then in order to pay divi-
bends on this watered stock. man:pu-
lated representatives and senator's and
over rode the laws of the land in order
to obtain unfair, but valuable special /
privileges. 1t is alright to fight this
side of the trusts. That is what Pres
eral years. We doubt the wis iom,
however, of attacking the underlying
principle of cooperation which is the
rightfrl basis upon which trusts are
founded.

State Tax Board Has Com
pIeted Its Second Session
And Adjourned.
GRAND RAPIDS LOSES OUT.
PENNSYLVANIA WAS ALSO GIVEN
THE COLD SHOULDER AND THE
STANDARD OIL COMPANY GOT A
LEMON.

/ Indianapolis, July 1.-THE state
board of tax commissioners completed
its second session yesterday and ad-
| journed. The session was devoted &c
the hearing of appeals from corpora
tions that felt they had been taxed
excessively. The commission made
number of changes in its original as
| sessments.
I'VE only made changes said John
c. Billheimer. state auditor and secre
tary of the tax board. lin cases where
new evidence was shown or where il
was shown that the board had made
error in making the first assessment"
The reductions made by the board at
this session probably will aggregate
less than 100000.
After listening TO the woeful tale of
the representatives of the Chicago, In
diana q Eastern Railway company, the
board reduced the assessment on this
rine from $1,000 10 SI,oVEy @ nile 4he
superintendent of the road convinced
the board that the locomotives on the
line were mot worth more than $500
EACH
The Central Indiana assessment was
reduced $500 a mile on the main line.
This road was formerly known as the
Midland and was owned by Harry
Crawford, a Chicago lawyer.
The commissioners refused to con-
slider favorably the appeal of the Grand
Rapids and Indiana Railroad company,
which was assessed at $4,000 mile.
The board refused to entertain the
amended appeal of the Cincinnati,
Richmond and FIT. Wayne railroad and
this assessment will remain I'M
changed.
Pennsylvania Turned Down.
The board flatly turned down. the
appeal of the Pittsburg, FIT. Wayne &
Chicago, and the p, c.. c. q St. L..
lines. I'VE did So said one of the
commissioners, because we believed
that these lines with all their branch
es. are enjoying great prosperity.
The Western Union Telegraph COM
pany is likely to file a supplemental
bill for an injunction against the tax
commissioners since they refused to re-
duce the assessment against that cor
poration. The Western Union was as
sessed at $50 mile, and. according TO
the decision of the board, this assess
ment must stand. The same assess
ment was made last year and the COM
pany sued to prevent the collection of
taxes under this assessment. The
suit is still pending in the United
States court.
The board did not spend much time
in making up its mind regarding the
Standard Oil company's property in
Indiana. The board refused to reduce
the assessment against either the Indi-
ana Pipe Line company or the Ohio Oil
company. 1.-The Standard Oil compa-
n.y. said a commissioner, has never
told the board the truth about its earn
ings in Indiana
Another big corporation, the Pull
man Palace Car company, was accorded
a cold treatment by the board. Its
Indiana property was assessed at 1920
a mile and the assessment will not be
reduced.
Next Monday the tax board will be-
gin its third session. At this session
it will take up for consideration ap-
peals from county boards of reviews.

The Money! for 1908,

Again the question: Where is the money
coming from with which to conduct next
years campaigns? The trusts are on the
black list. No more selling of tariff sched-
ules other legislative favors to them
The railroads and the Insurance companies
are barred. and moreover both are almost
savagely disgruntled. Politics? 1t Is
hades!" they exclaim. Bankers are like
wise offish. They too have had an I'M
happy experience. and are inclined to look
the other way when politicians. and espe-
cially campaign collectors, approach. With
these former sources of supply cut off. or
dried up what are the candidates and their
managers to do?
The thing that should be done is the thing
that probably will not be done. Campaign
ing could stand radical overhauling in
the interests both OF economy and char
acter. 1t has been inexcusably extraya-
CANT for years. and lately has taken on
features of folly. We hear 1t said of the
theater by some of the most accomplished
reviewers of the drama that the appeal
now Is to the eye rather than to the ear.
The leg show has put the comedy of man
