The recent fire castrophe in New
York, resulting in nearly $50 deaths,
strikingly calls attention to the fact
that altogether too little regard for
human life is had by many large manu-
facturers. Fierce competition for
wealth has led many of our so-called
"captains Of industry" to look upon
their employees with less concern than
upon the machinery of their factories
In this factory 700 girls were employ
ed, and the fire marshal reports that
the supply Of fire escapes was such
that it would require three hours for
them to reach the ground in that way
Moreover, the doors and windows lead
ing to the fire escapes were many of
them locked. The girls were mostly
Yiddish or Italian, and nine-tenths of
them could not read English, yet what
few signs there were pointing the way
to the fire escapes were in English.
This is not a general censure on manu-
facturers. Most of them do pay at
least fair amount Of attention to the
health and safety Of their employees
That there are many of them, however,
who do not, is shown by the statement
of the fire marshal that there are a
thousand other buildings in Albany in
which conditions are as bad as in the
building where the fire occurred. 1t
has become plainly and painfully evil
dent that the public authorities must
exercise much greater degree of SUI
pervision over factory buildings and
other conditions surrounding employees
in large institutions.

Minnesota properties of the defendant
companies, devoted to the public use
of transportation, is more persuasive
evidence of their values than the mar
ket values Of their stocks and bonds or
the original cost. La Toilette hes in
sisted for years that in order to fix
rates fairly a physical valuation of rail-
way properties must be made. Stand
patters have always insisted that a
railroad is worth whatever amount is
equal to the amount of stock and bonds
the managers have seen fit to
issue, although it is notorious fact
that railway stock is frequently from
fifty to seventy-five per cent. water,
and the proceeds of bond issues are
frequently used to pay dividends and
for other improper purposes.
If this decision is upheld by the su-
preme court the effect will be far
reaching. 1t is very likely that our
two-cent fare law will also be held
void if contested.

Taxes are as old as civilization and
as persistent as poverty. They are as
certain as death and almost as unwel-
come. Yet in spite of long familiarity
we are still cropping in the dark for
some plan of equitably distributing the
tax burden. We have property tax,
a poll tax an inheritance tax, taxes on
imports, taxes on booze and tobacco,
tax on oleomargarine and likewise
on dogs; we have special taxes for cor
porations, circuses and peddlers; in
surance policies are taxed and an in
come tax is in sight. The long array
of taxes is bewildering, to many it
seems ridiculous. We pride ourselves
on our scientific achievements, but
there is neither science nor sense in
our unsystematic tax system. 1t ought
to be possible to find the essential,
fundamental principle Of taxation and
systematic our conglomerate mass of
tax laws.

In recent decision Judge w. Fl.
Sanborn, of the federal circuit court,
struck a serious blow at the power of
states to regulate railway rates. The
Minnesota legislature reduced passen-
ger rates from 3 to 2 cents per mile
and also reduced certain freight rates,
and the Railway Commission ordered
other freight rates reduced Actions
were brought in the federal courts by
several railway companies to restrain
these reductions, and Judge Sanborn
has held all of the acts and orders
void.
The decision holds that while state
may regulate to certain extent rail-
way business which is entirely confined
within the state, if the rates so fixed
are unduly low they constitute a bur-
den on interstate commerce over which
the federal government has exclusive
jurisdiction. The court finds that the
rates fixed by the Minnesota legisla-
ture and railway commission are such
as to yield the railroads net return of
only about per cent. annually on
their investment, and in effect are con-
fiscatory. AS basis for fixing rates,
the court holds that the railroads
should he allowed to charge enough to
yield net return of per cent. on the
value of the railway property.
The basis taken for estimating the
value of railroad properties is signifi-
cant, the court falling into line with
the doctrine which La Toilette has advo-
Gated for years. Judge Sanborn says:

SHAME ON
LADY NTH

The New Richmond Republican
Voice makes some caustic remarks on
the result of the recent election in
Ladysmith. Prof. w. N. Mackin is
we'll known to many of the people of
New Richmond, having lived in St.
CroiX county before coming to Rusk
county, where he has served for the
past ten years as County Superintend-
ent of Schools. The Republican-Voice
says:
"There is one thing we do not like
about Ladysmith, which is the county
seat of Rusk county. Ladysmith is a
hustling town. We hear a great deal
about it. Commercially and Industrial
ly it appears to be live town. But
We cannot bring ourselves to believe
that the town is absolutely right in
every way when it will defeat as good
q man, as clean man as w. N. Mackin
for mayor by the overwhelming major
ity Of 308 to IT'S. In fact, it must be
A~%N@ISAAiy WING az lIlC NSly IOOGs AuQ
it is evident that there is something
rotten in Ladysmith, for here is the
platform on which Mr.. Mackin based
his candidacy. 1t is something all of
the decent elements of the city could
have rallied on.
(Here Mr.. Mackin's platform is
quoted.)
"Now, we do not know who Mr.. Mac
kin's successful opponent was, nor do
we care. The personal equation does
not enter into this discussion. We
presume that he opposed what Mr..
Mackin stood for, and advocated and
espoused those things which Mr.. Mack
in would not and could not stand for,
if he sanctioned or gave silent consent
to the Wide-open town policy. if the
platform of the mayor-elect was Just
the reverse of Mr. Mackin's, then the
Lord help Ladysmith.

REMARKABLE OPERATION.
Surgeons Open Skull and Cut Out
Nerve to Prevent Suicide.

Physicians who are here attending
the convention of the American Neu-
rological Association saw woman
who had been saved from suicide by
a daring and successful operation fol
ear neuralgia, the first Of it's kind ever
performed.
Mrs. A had been afflicted for several
years with violent and piercing pains
IN the ear. At times they were so ex-
cruclating that she screamed in agony,
and it was impossible to alleviate
them appreciably with powerful drugs.
Life was unbearable. and several
times she threatened self-destruction.
Seven physicians treated her in vain.
She finally came under the care of
tention to all forms Of nerve disease.
He made an elaborate study and found
that the malady was not face neural
gia, as had been supposed, but that it
was due to the condition Of the nerve
connecting the genicuIate SangliOn
with the brain.
DIR. Clark decided it would be neces-
sary to sever this filament, known as
tween the seventh facial and eighth
auditory nerves. Mrs. was in
formed that the operation was a dar-
ing one and that it involved risk She
oh oil r
life was not worth living and that it
she died as a result Of the operation,
She would be better off than if she
continued to live without finding re-
lief.
DR.. Clark consulted with DR.. Taylor,
the Wetl-knOWn surgeon, who per-
formed the operation five times on
dead bodies before Mrs A was placed
on the operating table. Her skull was
trephined back Of the ear and part of
the bone was broken down. This gave
an opening a quarter OF an inch in
diameter An instrument was put
down for three inches, the cerebellum
was lifted and by means of small
electric light the nerves were revealed.
A small glass drainage tube was put
in place, as the use of a sponge or any
such substance would have produced
a dangerous pressure. By means of a
small hook the nerve was raised and
then severed.
The surgeons could see plainly the
nerve controlling respiration, the dis
turbing Of which would have caused
death. The variation Of an eighth of
an inch through any cause would, in
the opinion Of Dr.. Clark, have proved
fatal, He spoke in highest terms OF
the skill Of DR.. Taylor, who had oper
ated in accordance with his diagnosis.
The ganglion is now not deprived of
nourishment, although it no longer
connects with the brain.-New York

A Scranton, Pa, coal company saved
81, 600 by building ramshackle wooden
shed in coal level instead of making
the structure fire proof. On account
Of this business economy" 70 human
lives were lost through fire that
would have been prevented if fire
proof material had been used. Seventy
lives sacrificed to save 1000 to the
company, less than SIS per life, reduc-
ing to the dollar basis, as is the fashion
in this age of dollar worship. Is such
economy profitable? Probably it is to
the company, as otherwise its shrewd
managers would have followed the
promptings of common humanity and
would have provided safe place for
the employees to work in. But can the
community, the public, afford to have
human life sacrificed for a few paltry
dollars? Evidently the owners of III
constructed mines and factories will
never learn from experience, as dis
asters have been frequent enough to
take away all shadow of excuse on the
ground of ignorance. The strong arm
of the law is the only recourse, and
avaricious employers should be COM
PEELED to provide safe places for their
WOrkmen.

The Texas court of appeals has deci-
ded that initiative and referendum or
dinances adopted by cities are uncon-
stitutionaI. Warming up to the snb-
ject the court goes further and says
that they are not only unconstitutional
but are subversive of the principle of
representative government and would
lead to confusion and anarchy. 1t is
amusing to see how excited some moss
back judges get when it is proposed to
adopt law which doesn't happen to
be referred to by Blackstone or Coke.
1t would require diamond drill to get
into their heads the idea that new con-
ditions require new rules, and that laws
like any other machinery are suscept-
IDLE of improvement.

BLES SED ARE THE
TROUBLE-MAKERS

Jane Adams, Of Hull House, Chi
cago, perhaps the most useful woman
in America today, went to Springfield
last week in behalf of a bill seeking
the protection Of children by keeping
them off the street. A member of the
Legislature in violent speech said
that Miss Adams was the greatest
trouble maker in Chicago"
eff seeking to better the condition
of poor working children is trouble
making, am perfectly willing to be
called trouble-maker," replies Miss
Adams.
Whenever a man or woman seeks to
stir up the public conscience to the
point of overturning some time-honor-
ed custom which works injustice to
some class, there are always plenty of
people to get up and yell trouble
maker" When any Of the sources of
political graft are dried up, whenever
public wrong through which some
men grew rich is stopped, whenever
improvement is made in the conditions
of community and as result some
people have to take more pains with
their living, the agitators who insti-
tuted the new movement are called
''trouble Makers
1t has always been so.
The trouble-maker is the handspring
of universe. The citizen who sits
down quietly and never complains, and
never finds fault with any existing con-
dition, willing to live in the easiest and
least troubled way, is the drag on civ
ilizatiop. The citizen who is willing to
endure personal discomfort rather than
endure community discomfort, who is

protest against it. Among many other
criticisms they point out that the
treaty puts on the free list wheat,

the dairyman buys; it allows flax to
