Tax Unfair in Every Way.

Mr.. Browne opposed the proposal in the

property. Such tax is unfair in every
way, he said. Speaking of the proposed
tax on stocks he said that the tax should
be levied on the land or privilege repre-
scented by the stock.

Some Interesting Figures Forwarded
by American ConsuIs in Europe
Tastes of Peoples Are Shown
to Vary Widely.

American consuls in European and
other foreign countries have recently
been sending reports to Washington
on the motion picture industry, these
reports showing that east and west,
north and south, the movies" now
hold sway and are playing star role
in the amusements of the nations
From many places comes the con-
sular declaration that the attractions
ly one of the chief amusements, but
the chief amusement. From Nurem-
berg, Germany, for instance, Consul
George Nicolas Int writes that the
moving picture has advanced to first
place among the people of Bavaria. "
In Munich there are 80 theaters, with
a total seating capacity OF 1850, and
a yearly sale of 100000 tickets, while
in Nuremberg there are IA theaters,
with seating capacity of 3,4O0. The
other large Bavarian cities all have
numerous theaters.
In regard to comparison with other
amusements. Consul George N. Int
writes that in the city of Hof the total
attendance at places Of public amuse-
ment for one year was 209,551. OF
this total, 1850 was attendance at
film shows, Attendances at other
amusements were: Theaters, $4,000;
concerts. $500; public dances, 1000;
circuses, 1000. In the city of Fuerth
in one month the attendance at the
movies" was $4,000, while for that
month and the two preceding months
the attendance at all other public
places of amusement, including ordi-
nary theaters, was but 1850.
From Great Britain come reports
that, while the motion-picture thea
tiers are constantly increasing their
hold on the public, American films OF
cowboy life-well received not long
ago-are beginning to lose popularity.

presuming to administer the law, and in fact faces the determined
opposition of the practically unanimous sentiment of the people of
the Pacific coast. The business interests are fearful of the sub
stitution of indirect service; of the substitution of two carriers to
do the work of one, with the additional cost, delay, and trouble in
cident to dealing with two organizations which may or-may not be
in harmony, or which may not be permitted to work in harmony;
of deterioration of service, and general disturbance of business
conditions incident to commercial changes affecting business CEN
tiers, following the proposed division; and, finally, of the long
period of confusion incident to the unsoved problems which the
suit would neutrality-suspicious. of rate and service adjustments
and of inexucably mixed terminals.
The business interests feel that at the very time when the
Pacific coast is growing with greatest rapidity, needing strong in
stead of weak railroads, with sufficient capital to finance the
growth of traffic, with new equipment, additions, betterments,
double tracks, etc, and facing the promised benefits due to the
opening of the Panama canal with new water routes to San Fran
cisco harbor, and the intensified need of the highest and most
adequately equipped distrbutive systems, it is peculiarly unfor-
unate that the government should find it necessary to threaten
the decentralization of western transportation conditions.

The ~"Unmerging" Suit

In the American Review of Reviews for April, Robert Newton
Lynch writes on "A severe Application of the Sherman Law, the
same being a protest against the suit brought by the department of JUS
tce to compel the "unmerging' OF the Central and Southern Pacific
railroads. The menace to the commerce o, the coast states involved in
the action of Attorney General McReynolds has attracted much atten-
ton and aroused considerable criticism. Here is what Mr.. Lynch says
in the Review of Reviews:
1t is significant that all the business interests of California and
Oregon are protesting with unanimous voice against the prosecu-
ton of the suit. California was rejoced when it was delivered
from the domination of the Hartman interests, and the roads
originally built by California genius and capital permitted to
operate once more under local direction and in the interests of the
development of the western empire. Before the filing of the suit,
the commercial bodies. aroused by the peril to their interests and
the possible effects of the dissolution, appeared before the attorney
general and asked for a further consideration of their interests.
Though this delegation was backed by all the leading commercial
organizations, by every leading newspaper in the territory. and by
men prominent in every political party, its plea was in vain. The
encouragement advised the delegation that inasmuch rs in his
opinion the combination was against the law he had no other option
but to bring the suit.
The government is deprived, however. of any support from
the representatives of trade and commerce, in whose interests it is
