HOW THEY DO 1T In NORWAY.

American possessors of moderate or large means
who have been put on the anxious bench by the
probability that Congress will impose tax on in

with the way they do if in Norway.
In that country the plan has been to levy for
state purposes graduated tax of from TO S per
cent according to the size of the income but, be.
ginning January 1 Of this year, uniform tax of S
per cent is imposed on all incomes, regardless OF
size. In addition community or city tax Of about
10 per cent is levied making total of Is per cent

THE DETROIT TRANSIT PROBLEM.

Detroit being self-governing community, IS OF
long way ahead of Washington in respect OF
its problems of municipal service. Detroit is righ,
in tine midst of crusade for municipal ownership oi
its public service facilities while Washington con-
tnues to enjoy pubIc-service ownership of the mu.
nicipaIity
The franchises of many of the Detroit street car
lines having expired and the town and the railroad
company having long been sparring in the futile ef-
fort to agree terms for extensions better service
rates. and the like an ordinance has been submitted
to the city council to effect temporary adjustment
II purports to contemplate only sort Of modus vi.
vendi, with the aim OF public ownership in view
final settlement
But on careful examination Mayor Marx warns f1e
council and the people that he is suspicious Of the
ordinance He is afraid that in the guise of an in.
determinate privilege, it really gives perpetual rights
on the streets. He insists that important modi6ca-
tions must be made in it, and that after it is written
into perfectly clear and understandable terms it must
be submitted to vote of the people, and be accepted
only if majority of them favor it.
Detroits experience has proved that the people
can be trusted in such matters. They have managed
to wabble right whenever they were able to get the
issue laid before them for final decision
1t is interesting to think what would happen in
washington III THIS CITY nad opportunity to deal d.
recty with like problems. Suppose, for instance,
that this city had an elective commission and the
right of recall-the modern system of governing a
city. Suppose, beyond that, that the commission had
the right to fix rates at which public services should
be rendered: to name the price of gas, electricity
street fares; the conditions on which transfers
should be issued, etc.
These would not be extraordinary powers with
which to vest citys legislative authority They are
welded very generally
If they were welded here in the manner suggest
ed, how long would it be before there would be 75-
cent gas, cheaper electricity, universal transfers?
Not very long, we venture to opine..
No, il would not mean confscation of property
The city would not be allowed by the courts to con-
fscate property. Rates, however fixed would have
TO be reasonable; but the burden of proof would be
shifted to the corporations, affrmatvely to prove
tnat fixed rates were unjust and confscatory.
Washington is not likely soon to have system of
that sort The next best thing in the public interest
is the measure of control which has been proposed
in the public utilities that has passed tine
Senate, and is now hung up in the House District
Committee.
There is yet time to get that measure passed at
this session. if only it could be given chance The
House would pass it if given chance. There is a
present. pressing need for it. Can the managers of
the House afford permit this session to pass with.

ROAD ID MAGMA
 NOW SURVEYED
Arizona Eastern Completes. Second Survey to the Supe- rior District, Which is North of Florence.

MESA, Ariz.. Aug. 1.-The Arizona Eastern Railroad has just completed the survey of road which will con meet their lines with the Superior and Magma lines
 Two preliminary surveys were made within the last year, but we're later abandoned. The last survey, which has just been completed, commences al a point in the center of section 25, 9 south, range s of the G and s. Base and Meridian lire in Pinal county. and runs in a northeast .ly direction through the Queen Creek canyon terminating at Superior
 The construction Of this road has long been contemplated as the rich mines in the region of Superior which have a large output of ore. have been greatly handicapped for lack of ship ping facilities.
 The point at which the road will is, located just beyond Queen Cree station. and will become an impoI tant junction point for the reason thaf besides the large shipments of or that will be hauled to this point fren. the Superior and Magma mines, thg line will also traverse a fine tract O agricultural land which is suscep- tible to irrigation and cultivation.

CONNOT SELL
 SEIZED CATTLE
Great Herds Conhscated by Constituencies from Ter, razas Ranches to Be For bidden Entry.

DOUGLAS, Aug. Lit now appears that the cattle consfcated from tue large ranges of the millionaire cattle king, Luis Tarrazas, of Sonora. by the constitutioalists will not be mark eted in the United States without causing someone a great deal oi troubles
 This became evident today when Juan Francisco Molnar, holding DOW CT of attoTey from Gen. Luis Terrazas, arrived in Douglas, his mission being to have all the ports of entry on the obrder closely watched for the arri- val of those consficated cattle, aud the property seized as soon as l. en.
 ters the United States, under the law governing such cases, and returned tC its rightful owner.
 It is known that thousands Of head f cattle have been seized from the Terrazss ranches by order of the So nora state government, and that it is the intention of the state to export these cattle and market them in Sais county, turning the money thus re, ceived into the state treasury. Attor | ney Molinar will remain here, and il ! is understood he has agents watching other ports cf entry, and In every in
 stance Of cattle bearing the Terrazas brand being imported, they will Dc seized the moment such entry is
 made.
