woMAN's HOME COMPANION.

The September Woman's Home
Companion is the fall fashion num-
ber. Under the direction of Grace
Margaret Gould, who edits the FASH
ion Department, women are shown
how they dress fashionably and yet
economically. There is a great var
iety of fashion articles and illustra-
tions, including all the latest news
from Paris and New York, which, as
everybody knows, are the centers OF
dress ideas. Miss Goulds great con-
tention is that women can keep in
style and yet not spend eXtravagant
sums of money. She proves her point
ably and presents it entertainingly.
Special articles contributed to the
September Companion are: THE Town
That Had no. Sums" "Three Ameri-
can Duchesses" being an intimate ac-
count of the Duchess of Manchester,
the Duchess of RoXburghe, and the
Duchess of Marlborough; what Men

the state where II has a right to con-
troll. But the interstate commerce
commission, which has authority over
rates paid upon business which be-
gins or ends outside the state, or
which passes clear through the state,
has not, / think been so efficient.
Anyhow, the two taken together
now permit the public service corr
porations within the state to levy
tribute enough upon the people to
pay returns upon Il large amount,
probably $50, 600 Of watered stock,
or franchise value.
Elimination of this huge graft
would reduce freight rates some 20
per cent and this would lower the
price of every commodity or thing
transported into the state and would
raise the price of everything shipped
out. incidentally II would remove one
of the most popular arguments in
favor of graduated single tax.
A just tax upon public service
property is without doubt desirable,
but an excessive tax based upon n
monopoly, or franchise value can not
be of so general benefit as a scaling
down of rates such that will yield a
fair income upon cost values only.
Sincerely,
c. p. STRAIN.

set It, Governor Wilson would not
be photographed with them, He de-
clared that the bull moose have nam
ed an admirable man for governor and
that 1t should put the democrats upon
their mettle. 1t was a statement with
much meaning.
Meanwhile the New York World,
chief Wilson supporter in New York,
is openly and vigorously fighting Muir
ply and Tammany Hall. Here is the
way it talks about them.
Murphy represents the partnership
between crooked politics and crooked
business, and every intelligent voter
in New York knows it. Murphy is
exploiting the state government for
his own pocket, and every intelligent
voter in New York knows it. Murphy
has no publicly known business except
politics. Murphy has no publicly
known place of business except Tam
many Hall. So far as the public rec
ords CO. Murphy has no visible means
of support. No industry, occupation
or employment appears in the city di-
rectory opposite Murphys name. All
this is a matter of common knowledge,
and The World will not assist the
democratic organization in helping
this man exploit the people of New
York for his own gain.
III the democrats of this state want
Murphy to boss their party, well and
good. If they want him to name their
candidate for governor and select
their candidates for other state Off
ces, well and good If they want him
to be the supreme arbiter of democrat
ic destiny in this state, we'll and good
Let them turn the state convention
over TO Murphy-and then let them
elect the ticket if they can.
The World will not he alone in
this fight against a Murphyized dem
ocracy 1t will have the support OF
every other Independent newspaper in
New York. 1t will have the support
of hundred thousand independent
democrats who will never vote for a
candidate for governor who bears the
Murphy taint
ANY state ticket nominated by
Charles F. Murphy at Syracuse will
be beaten"
That is a showing as to Woodrow
Wilson's attitude towards political
bosses. 1t indicates that if any bosses
are for Wilson at least Wilson is not
doing much for the bosses.

FROM THE PEOPLE
TAXATIoN OF FRANCHISES.
Pendleton, Ore, Sept. IS, 1912,

Pendleton, Ore, Sept is, 1912.
Editor East Oregonian;
The presence of Chas. II. Shields
here last night and the coming Of
Mr.. Nelson tonight brings the single
tax issue squarely up to us.
The taxation OF franchises is one
important phase of this question. Sin
g,e tax advocates lay much stress
upon the rich tax returns which may
be expected from the graduated sim
gle tax when applied to the fran
chise values of railroads.
Having devoted some study to this
part of the subject, and being the
equal servant of all the people, l feel
impelled to submit my conclusions
Franchises are simply grants eX-
tended by government to corpora
tions or individuals authorizing them
to engage in public service business,
Steam and electric railways, power,
light gas and water companies oper-
ate under franchises. except where
the public performs such service di-
rect as governmental function.
These grants which we call fran
chises belong to the people. What
ever value they possess is public prop
erty. The operating companies have
a right only TO just return upon
their actual investment in the physi-
cal porperty such as cost of ties,
rails, grades, right of way and roll
ing stock.
our public service commissions
and the interstate commerce commits
sion. have the right to regulate pub
lir service business, and it is OCCASION
ally their duty to hold rates down to
basis of fair compensation upon
cost values. If this We're done, fran
Chise values would disappear alto
gether. which woulG destroy them as
subject OF taxation.
However, it is a fact that regulation
has been so lax that franchise val
hes have often reached enormous
heights. In our own state some of
our railroads earn a net return of 6
per cent upon over $50 600 per mile.
The cost of one great road according
to its own bookkeeping, is S55. 900 per
mile. Its franchise value is now at
least $4,000 per mile. The gradual
ed tax rate of $50 per $1,000 would
yield $3.50 per mile and the regular
tax. say at 6 mills, $3.50 per mile,
making 5000 in all. The present tax
per mile is $500 in this county.
Our state railroad commission has
done much to prevent the excessive
earnings upon which this fictitious
value rests. II has ordered various
imnortant reductions In rates within

or any assemblage of the macquereaux
and white slave dealers of the coun-
try. The fewer of such they see the
better they will like it,
So far Pendleton has had a splen-
did reputation on the score of good
order during the Roundup days. 1t
is reputation that means much and
should be preserved II that reputa.
ton is not maintained we will not have
the pleasure of handling such large
crowds in the future,

But he also thought Judge Ellis
would be renominated for congress in
April and two years ago. Baldwin
was sadly deceived on those occasions
He is even worse deceived if he
thinks Taft can carry oregon. In
the primary election Taft ran behind
both Roosevelt and La Toilette in
oregon. He polled but one fourth of
the republican votes that were east
and that despite the fact he had the
prestige OF being president. At that
time Taft did not suffer under the
odium that attaches to the Chicago
and its steam roller
methods. Nor did te have Woodrow
Wilson lined up against him on the
ballot In view of President Tafts
poor showing in April it is ridiculous
for anyone to contend he can carry
this state in November The fight
here is between Wilson and Roosevelt.
The man who votes for Taft will find
he has thrown his vote away.
