A Washington. special says al
most unprecedented scenes we're
enacted in the House Friday as
the result of the reading of the
special message to Congress by
the president urging additional
Legislation in the matter of the
relations uf labor a nd capital and
of corporations and the public.
The vigorous language Of the
document brought forth storms of
appIausey first on the Democratic
side, then on the r epublican side,
and eliminating in general
demonstration by the entire body.
AS if in anticipation of something
out of the ordinary going to hap
pen, there was very full attend
ance of members and long after
the reading of t'ae document had
been concluded, it was almost the
sole topic of conversation among
the memers on the floor and in the
lobbies.

A Class Bill.

A bill passed the State Senate
Saturday to exempt from taxation
all money that is loaned in this
State at 6 per cent. or under.
More than willing to support
any legitimate proposition that
promises to advance the material
welfare of Mississippi and help
the poor man or borrower of
money, The Leader has done its
best to reason out that a bill of
this character is right and just
measure, but we can't see it that
way, for the life of us. In the
first place, we regard it unconsti-
-tutional, a species of class legisla-
ton, and as flying directly in the
face of that provision of the Con-
stitution which declares that taxa
tion shall be uniform and equal.
Money is property, a taxable
value. If money may be exempted
from taxation when loaned out at
a certain per cent, why not ex-
empt from taxation a landlords
lands or cottages he rents to those
not fortunate enough to own
houses of their own, provided he
will regulate the rental price so
he will not realize more than 6
per cent. On his investment.
Moreover, why not exempt from
taxation the little cottage home or
farm of the man who has to bor-
row 6 per cent. money, until he
makes rise enough in the world
not to be borrower!
If we were Governor of Mlssis
ssippi and bill like that came to
US, it would take us but two min
utes to send it back to the house
that passed it with a veto, and if
ever it lives to get before Gov.
Noel, we are very much mistaken
in the man if he doesn't kill it
quite as unceremoniously.

The Newton Record thinks that
the fellow who is ashamed to. have
his maine appear in the paper
when he has violated the law,
should think about that before
hand, and not be guilty of any
thing he is ashamed of. When he
is arraigned in the public courts,
the proceedings Of same are pub
lie property, and the public ex-
poets the paper to report the do
ings thereof. When the report is
made. it doesn't mean that the
paper has anything against the
person reported or any feelings IN
the matter, further than that the
right surt of paper wants to see
the laws upheld. We would all
ways rather say something good
of a man than something deroga
tory but the latter cam be avoided

REAL ESTATE RETURNS
FORTUNE OF $4,000, 900.


No stronger commentary on the
silent growth of tremendous fortunes
can be found than in the recent
discovery of a man worth $4,000, 900,
of whom the public had never heard.
This man is Charles Edgar Applehy,
g lawyer whose entire fortune was
made from a beginning of small in
yestments in New York real estate.
The public came into it's information
of his fortune through a forged deed,
and amaZement was great that a man
wholly unknown could accumulate
such vast wealth and remain in prac-
tical seclusion.
Mr.. Appleby is lawyer more than
SO years of age. He began investing
in New York real estate fifty years
ago, and has constantly added to his
holdings. Mr.. Appleby's rule of in
vestment, in his own language, is: 81
never buy stocks or bonds, but | am
always redy to buy or sell real es-
tate. Bonds and Mortgages.

ANDREW CARNEGIE ON WEALTH

THAT by far the greatest amount
Of wealth created in any branch
comes from enhanced values of real
property is especially true in pros
porous country, increasing rap
idly in population, like the United
States. The census shows that from
1890 to 1900 the value Of real estate in
creased from $50, 544, 544, 1888 to s52,-
/. 5377 ,628, 184, an increase OF Sl2 .y9s, Uo5,-
ssl; $1,000, 0Oo. 900 per year, over So
500, 900 per day.
The obvious creator of this wealth
is not the individual, but the COM
munitS. Property may pass through
many proprietors, each paying more
for it that its predecessor; but Wheth-
er each succeeding owner sells to his
successor at "a profit depends almost
solely upon whether the surrounding
population increases. Let popula-
ton remain stationary, and 50 do
values Of property.

ALFALFA CROP YIELDS s72 AN

five acres, securing 80 bushels of fine
alfalfa seed which is worth $l2 per
.bushel, making the value of the alfal-
ia seed on his fiye-acre tract $500 or.
SsT2 per acre. When it is considered
that this alfalfa was raised on land
which is selling for from sS5 to $50 an.

sit is that prices for farm land in that

PIERRE
The Most Promising City of
This Generation.
Likely to Have 100000 Peo-
pie Inside of 20 Years.

Rustler. for January.
This remarkable young city is now
growing rapidly and the future out
look could not be better for great
growth and expansion during thenext
few years. The natural gas found
here assures Pierre of becoming a
good manufacturing city. Undoubt-
eddy a great oil field is located to the
west of Pierre and great coal fields are
known to underlie the greater portion
of the western half of this state.
The resources for manufacturing
are very extensive here, more so than
most of our people realize. With
abundance. of coal, petroleum, oil
and natural gas we are assured of
cheap fuel and with the bountiful
supply of excellent cement shale and
brick clays, with our large wool ship
ments and live stock resources assur-
ing packing houses, tanneries and
the manufacturing of all leather goods
Pierre must become large city.
One of the largest ore smelters in
the world is at Omaha and no mines
within 500 miles Of there, but they
have the Missouri river giving an
abundance of water. Here at Pierre
we have the river and within 200 miles
of the western great mineral resources.
There is also an excellent oppor-
tunity here for development of one
of the most extensive water powers in
the world and this will certainly be
brought about in the hear future.
In the matter of climate and health
ful location this point is not sur
passed by any other city in America
and this is really a great factor of
building large city as one of the
greatest resources that builds up our
cities is the retired farmers and bust
ness men from the surrounding coun-
try locating in the most inviting cities
| OF their region.
| Among the many advantages of this
place is the fact that Pierre is per-
manent capitol of the state is going
to be good factor in drawing the
| different railroads of the state to her,
also help to establish this place as a
financial center which has already be-
! come to a limited extent.
The greatest of all advantages that
assures the upbuilding of a great city
here is the fact that Pierre is located
a long distance from any large COM
mercial center and having wonder
fully wealthy and productive country,
tributary to her, she is certain to
make another large commercial cen
liter, similar TO Denver, K alisas City City
| Omaha or st. Paul.
Numerous good towns in the east
end of this state are hoping to make
large cities, but they are too close to
Omaha. Minneapolis and st. Paul to
make great commercial cities; but
Pierre is located out 100 miles or more
beyond them upon this great river and
| close to the great diversified wealth
of this state, is certain to make the
big commercial city of South Dakota
All states have developed, generally,
at least one important commercial
city. South Dakota has none yet, but
Pierre is coming to the front, and can
4 be selected now as the point that is
/ going to make the great city of this
growing, wealthy, young state.
