SHORTAGE OF CARS UNDER
 GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 25.- Consul J. l. Britain, United States Consul at Kehl, Germany, reports that there has for many months been a se- riOus shortage of cars in Germany. All the railroads there are owned and op- erated by the government. MT. Brit tain says, in a report to the State De- partment:
 The greatest cause of the scarcity (of cars) is the extraordinary activity in the iron and steel industry. For the Erst half of 1906 nearly 100000 more cars of coal, coke and patent fuel were delivered by the syndicate than during the corresponding period of last year, and the daily dispatch of cars has frequently exceeded 21, 900 in number.
 The Prussian State Railway author ities have been severely criticised in consequence of the shortage of railway ears. Thus, during June, although 221, ,991 more cars were available than in June, 1905, the shortage amounted to nearly 1000 cars a day. But, on the other hand. 1t Is questioned wheth. CT, even with this shortage made good 1t would have been possible to satisfy the demand.
 "The marked scarcity of cars at this time the year is all the more dlsqu!et ing, since the farmers will shortly be drawing heavily upon all available railway rolling stock to move agricul tural produce. The result of this de ] ficit in the number of cars supplied has been that in several collieries thu miners have been compelled tempora 1 rily to stop work, a measure which 1T these days of high wages is costly matter"

cial practices, under existing laws, but they have profted by the defects of both.
 The imn,~-aiity of their methods Is conceded and condemned, but such s the demoralization of the American spirit that nearly every American, 1t Is said by the cynics, is ready to con fess that, had he the opportunity, he would get rich quick in the same way. In a small country, with a different cult. small fortunes are to be expect ed, but in vast continent like the United States, where success" means the acquisition of dollars and the aggregate wealth exceeds SI0O,. 000, 10000 900, monster fortunes are a natural outcome.
 Laws may be devised to mitigate the offensive aspects of such accumu, latiops, but the only true remedy is to uplift the American IdeaIs, so that culture, knowledge and other labor iously acquired personal accomplish ments will receive the highest honor regardless of wealth.

Discussing recently at Carnegie hall, New York, The Evils of Surplus Wealth." Dr. Felix Adler contended that the commercial spirit shown in the accumulation of most of the vast fortunes is a species of insanity. The accumulators who take leave of hu- man feeling in amass-ng wealth ought, he held, to be shut up in sani' tariums until cured. The kind of commercial spirit referred to Is + frustrated in the adulteration of food stuffs, in overworking small children and generally in the exploitation of the needs and vices of mankind.
 Dr. Adler comedies that some null timillion fortunes are honestly ac- quired. By great inventions or by clear insight into business proposE tions, as well as by inheritance, a good man may become the lawful pos sessor of untainted millions, but very many of our millionaires are thought to have acquired their huge piles by abhorrent methods. They have only utilized, 1t is true, existing commer-

ID COLLECT THE DELINQUENT
 TAXES
Books Are Now Being Made Up For the Tax Collector and Tax Attorney Who Will Be- gin Work at Once,
Especial to Review)

TOMBSTONE, Jan. 25.-The mak- ing up of the back tax books of Co chise county for the taxes due for the year 1906 has about been completed and few days more will have them in shape for the tax collector and tax attorney to begin action to collect the taxes due on some of the property.
 The amount of what will appear on the back tax book is not known at this time. but in all probability will reach in the neighborhood of $40, ,0e0. This Is considerably less than that of last year as it was over s60,000. This year the treasurer with his assistants have gone over the books and taken of considerable property, items in which there was a mistake made or orders made by the Board of Super yisors to take it off on account of a double assessment, while for the year 1905 most of this class of property got onto the back tax books before 1t could be attended to. Since the taxes became delinquent on the second Mon day in December, soD'e 23S pieces of property have been redeemed by the owners, who, to thei sorrow. have II ness to overlook paying the taxes be- fore they become delinquent. In one instance the penalties and costs ac- crued for only a short time after the taxes had become delinquent amount ed to S9S.00. The taxes, besides draw ing interest at the rate of one per cent per month. are subject to penalties under the law which go to the clerk for making up the back tax book, he being allowed Is cents on each piece or parcel of land, while the tax col lector is allowed four percent, and the tax attorney gets 25 per cent in case that suit is brought to recover them, and in case judgment Is se- cured the property owner is compelled to pay all costs of suits, besides the other penalties. In some instances this has more than doubled what the original taxes were. The small amount of taxes that were allowed to go delinquent for the last year shows that the property owners of Cochise county as rule are in a prosperous condition, and that they are willing to pay their proportion of the burden of the county government. There i: but little doubt but that the tax rate for this year will be reduced from the present rate of s2.65 to at least s2.50 unless the present legislature in creases the territorial tax rate by mak ing levies for the support or improve ments on territorial institutions. Int territorial rate now being T5 cents.

A MINING MANS OPINION

MT. Wm. Gaines comes in here quiet iy from California. He is a gold min CT and the immense copper mining outfits here surprises him. He Is an expert, however, in gold mining having had vast experience in California and in British Columbia. The gentleman is also familiar with Australian mines and from his extended knowledge of formations he speaks well Of Bisbee, but frankly says: "It would not be exactly right for me to express an opinion; but from my knowledge run ming over a period of over 40 years in mines and minerals I am willing to say that Bisbee will be a much bigger camp in the future than it is now"
