Or More Will Be Paid to Roosevelt

Oyster Bay, n. Y, July 6.-When
Theodore Roosevelt retires from the
presidency. packs his kit. and starts
for Darkest Africa in search of big
departure of the highest paid special
correspondent the world has yet
known.
This fact became known when the
telegraph wires between Oyster Bay
and New York and Philadelphia were,
figuratively. burned up by the ex-
change of messages negotiating the
sale of the "reminiscences he will write
upon his return from the jungle land.

to the editors of monthly magazines
and popular weeklies judging from
the way they bid for them.
1t was supposed that certain popu-
lar weekly had practically secured a
dead sure thing on the presidents
peared in the negotiations, offering
more than 81 per word and entire ex-
penses for the trip. A monthly
magazine also dipped into the deal
with a liberal offer, while a second
monthly, which has been the exclusive
purveyor of the literary productions of
President Roosevelt, put in a high bid
This magazine, it is said, banks
much upon its previous dealings with
the president.
But the almighty dollar is to win
once offlcialdom is left behind. When
asked how they could afford to pay
such enormous prices for the writings
of any man, the editors one and all
declared they were about to make
splurge, and the name Theodore
Roosevelt look very potent to them.
The bills are all closed, and an an
nouncement of who is the lucky editor
is expected to be made shortly.

TAXES UP. EARNINGS DOWN.
This Is Shown by Returns Filed With
Commission.

Washington. July 2s.-Returns of the
ed June 80 are remarkable as showing
two particular features. One is the
sudden and tremendous falling off in
the tonnage handled, and the conse-
quent decrease in gross earnings. The
other is the increase that has taken
place in the assessment of railroad pro-
perties for taxation purposes. In a
number of cases 1t is alleged that the
increase in taxes means to the roads
the difference between their ability to
pay dividends and their inability to
pay them.
The movement of 1907 came on the
top of a steady increase for the last
six years. According to the returns of
the interstate commerce commission,
the railroads. as a whole, paid in 1902
s54, As, 400. In 1907 they paid $79, 617 900.
The increase in these six years was in
exact proportion to the increase in
gross earnings. In both 1902 and 1907
the taxes paid by the roads collectively
were 81 per cent of gross earnings.
This growth in taxes is one of the
reasons, the roads claim. which make
1t absolutely necessary at the present
time to mark UP the rates. It is one
of the factors in the great increase
that has taken place in operating ex-
penses. OF course, the ultimate suf-
ferers will be the consumers, who have
to pay the freight. In the first place
however, the stockholders have to bear
the brunt. The railroad men fear also
that the rise in taxation has not reach
ed its climax.
