WAR TAX ON CHECKS

Senator Tillman graphically de-
scribes the effect upon the individual
of the proposed tax on checks when
he says: Every time man wrote a
bank check he would have to lick a
stamp and curse the Democratic
party" A stamp on checks would
not only be an annoyance but SER
ious handicap on business. Less
checks would be written; more bust
ness would be transacted in cash ;
small checking accounts would be
withdrawn from the banks. II is
queer that the chief prophet of "The
New Freedom" should adopt a tax
sure to harass business. A stamp
tax on checks would be endured with
out complaint in war times, but in
an era of increasing business when a
nation of 100000, 200 requires free
dom Of action in business the pro-
posal Of the administration will be
denounced almost universally.-Salt

THE SUPERIORITY OF
UNITED STATES RAILROADS

The bureau of railway economics,
in the bulletin recently issued show
ing comparative statistics for the
railroads of 3S foreign countries and
of the United States, gives over
Whelming demonstration of the vast
superiority of the United States rail-
roads. With one exception the United
States roads pay a higher average
wage than any other country. The
exception is Western Australia in
which country average receipts per
ton mile are almost twice as great
as in the United States. In our
country the average annual wage of
the railway employe in 1912 was
$3.50. In Australia, New Zealand
and Canada the average annual wage
reaches one-half that amountf In
Japan it is $114.
While wages are higher in the
United States, freight rates per ton
mile are-again with one exception
lower than the rates in any other
country. That country is India where
the cost of labor is so little as to be
almost negligible. In almost all other
countries freight rates are SO per
cent higher than those of the United
States. Furthermore, in capitaliza-
ton per mile of it's railways, the
United States is exceeded by every
one of the principal countries of the
world.
In the United Kingdom the rate
for capitalization is $277,147 per
mile; in Belgium it is $216,143 per
mile. Russia has an average of $149,-
814 per mile; France, $14S,436;
Switzerland, $122,010; Austria,
$121,327 and Germany, $116,365.
The average capitalization per mile
for the United States is only $63,535.

CHARGES AGAINST THE
JACKSONVILLE PLANT

/ Sensational charges against the
Jacksonville, Fla, electric light plant
were made at recent meeting to dis.
cuss the proposed new charter for
Jacksonville.
The first speaker, Mr.. Tom Boyd
declared that the promises made to
the people by men in public office at
the time of the establishment of the
plant have never been fulfilled and
that the people have been humbug-
ged in the system of operation.
He asserted that the charges made
for electricity were more or less dis
eliminating, according to the political
standing of the user. He stated that
certain members of the board of bond
trustees and other prominent men
have been securing their light much
more cheaply than the common tax
payer, and that in some instances
hotels have been permitted to run up
bills amounting to thousands of dol
lars whereas the small user has had
to pay his small bill promptly.
|. L. Ferris, the next speaker, de-
manded to know what had been done
with the 100000 yearly profit said
to have accrued through the munich
pal elecvtric light plant. He de-
clared that the money had been con-
sumed in an unnecessarily expensive
partments, and deplored the fact that
the citizens were gaining nothing by
the so-called profit and that their
taxes are higher than they have ever
been MISUNDERSTANDING
