Appraisement of Louisiana
Public Service Corporations.

(The Times DemOcrat.>
The Louisiana Board Of Ap-
praisers, in it's report of the ASSESS
ment of public service corpora
tions, made some days ago, shows
a total of $59,356.149, divided as
follows:
Railways .... So, 364, 528
Telegraph companies. 1,O77,9A
Telephone compsniss. 3,51S,697
Express companies. 80. $4,000
The two largest items in those
figures are the assessment of the
Southern Pacific and Texas and
Pacific railways, both in excess of
ten million dollars, while nearly
the entire telephone assessment,
80 per cent of the total, is borne
by tho Cumberland Telephone Go.
TIE figures for the railroads do
not, Of course, give the total as
ssssment Of that branch of the SER
vice, as y very large proportion of
the roads, nearly one-ffth the
mileage, is exempt from all taxa
ton, State, parish and municipal,
under the constitutional provisions
which exempt newly constructed
lines, for a period of ten years,
from the time of their construc-
ton. This provision was voted in
by the people some years ago in
order to stimulate construction,
and had the desired effect, Louisi-
ana doing more building in the
next few years after it's adoption
than in any previous period, and
rising to second place among the
States in new mileage. The total
assessed value Of the exempted
railroads is given as So, 243, 16l
by the Board of Appraisers. The
amount will be placed on the as
sessment rolls in tho next few
years, not al one time, as in the
case of the New Orleans factories,
whore ten years exemption ex-
pired in 1909, but at tho ten years
from tho time OF construction of
tho several roads. Without any
raise in assessments, increase in
values or new construction, Louis
lana can see this twelve millions
soon placed on it's tax rolls. Per-
haps the State may in the mean
while decide to take tho report of
tho Tax and Assessment Commits
sion appointed by Gov. Blanchard,
which made a number of valuable
suggestions as to our tax system.
these suggestions, however, not
being considered at any of the four

FeudaI System in Vogue Cannot

Neutrality.

Paris. Feb. 20.-Reviewing the
crisis in Mexico today for the Asso-
ciated Press, Joseives Limantour,
minister of finance in the Diaz cabi-
net. declared the only basis for peace
was that the insurgents lay down
their arms pending negotiations with
the government, which on it's part.
should grant a reform OF the evils
that made the revolution possible
The only alternative he foresaw
was the probability OF a long. vast
ing struggle for. said the minister.
THE federal troops are no match for
the cowboy insurgents"
FEUDAL SYSTEM MUST GO.
In the opinion OF Limantour the
feudal system in Mexico must go and
the gres. estates in the north. which
passed from family to family should
be distributed among the people.
For himself. the minister said. he had
no political ambitions. though he had
been frequently urged 10 contest the
presidency wieh President Diaz He
expects TO start home within two
weeks.

Il dislike 20 touch on the delicate
question of neutrality" continued the
Mexican. but ] am convinced the

stricted. Unless il is enlarged Il viii

chances Of quelling the revolution.
Mexico prevents Guatemalan revolu-
tionists from remaining near the
frontier. just as France at the time
of the Portuguese revolution forced
Carlists living near the Spanish from
tier to remove at least 200 kilomct-
ers from the border on the ground
their nearness constituted a menace
TO friendly power.
"Why cannot the United States
adopt the same attitude and not only
arrest armed revolutionists n found
crossing into Mexico but also pre-
vent revolutionary meetings and che
of arms and ships"

OLNEY CITES TREATIES.
Boston, Feb 2O.-Former Secre-
tary of State Richard Olney in a
statement issued yesterday on an
opinion previously expressed by him
in opposition to fortiication of the
Panama canal, cites the Clayton-Bul-
wer treaty of 1850 in which Great
Britain and the United States agreed
neither would ever erect or maintain
fortifications commanding the canal
and the stipulation in the draft Of the
Hay -Pauncefote treaty of 1900, which
also provided against fortification but
permitted the United States to main
TAIN SUN lulilIdiS diOA6 the
canal as may be necessary to protect
it against lawlessness and disorder.

Though this treaty did not get

lit is important to refer 10 it because
it so clearly distinguishes between
fortification of the canal and mill
tary DrOt ectiOn against law lessness
and disorder. The former was prohib-
tied. while the latter was allowed. a."
Mr. Olney then speaks of the treaty
of Dec. 16, 1901, which, he says, un-
will be matter of careful
negotiation for on the one hand the
United States made no assertion Of
a right to fortify while on the other
hand Great Britain gave its consent
to the maintenance of such military
police along the canal as may be nee
essary to protect it against lawless-
ness and disorder
