would leave the military machine I'M

THURSDAY MORNING. JAN. Is. 1917.
RAILWAY TAXATION.

While the Montana legislature is wrestling with
the problems Of taxation and discussing net pro-
oeeds" and gross proceeds and other yardsticks
Of measurement. it is interesting to read the prelm
mary report Of the interstate commerce commission
for the year 1916. showing the relative amount Of the
net and gross Of the railways Of the country
that are diverted for purposes Of taxation.
The report shows that during the year 1916 the
railroads paid out TT per cent Of their net earn
ngs" for taxes that during the past year 49, OF the
gross earnings" Of the railroads went for taxes.
The above figures are for the United States
whole We have no figures available for the rail-
way lines within Montana. but presume that the rel
alive assessment for taxation would not vary greatly
from that Of the country as whole.
AS against the l2.7 per cent Of net earnings OF
the railroads. the express companies in Montana. it
seems. have been paying practically nothing. be-
cause there is no law to compel us to pay taxes. as
was stated by the tax commissioner for one OF the
express companies at the recent hearing before the
legislative committee.
AS against the l27 per cent Of met earnings
paid by the railroads, the mining companies pay
only the county levy-ess than per cent-on their
met earnings
AS against per cent of the gross earnings OF
water power companies in California. the Montana
water power companies pay only on the physical val
uation placed on dams and power lines. which at the
recent hearing was estimated to be about AZ per cent
of the cost of installation.
y y y -
II it be public policy to deal lenenty with any
class Of property in the matter Of taxation ii would
seem that newly constructed lines Of railway might
well be given front place in the list, for the reason
that railroads are the great developers OF the section
of country through which they are built
Every mile Of railway that is built Immediately
gives additional value to the land through which
is built and results in great increase in the taxable
wealth Of the section. both as to land improvements,
livestock and other forms Of personal property.
1t is also fact, that during the first years after
constructions The revenues Of the road are mea-
gre Taking all these things into consideration. Mon
tana might well by statute. fix nominal tax rate on
new lines of railroad built within the state tor the
frs, few years after the building Of the line
1t might prove TO be mighty good investment tor
the state in the long rum to thus encourage this basic
foundation for state development.

THE, PRESIDENTS DOCTOR.

When Roosevelt appointed Fred Funston. then
colonel of Kansas regiment Of volunteers brgadier
general in the regular army recognition Of his dis
tinguished services in capturing Aguinaldo,. the
Democratic press denounced him in unmeasured
terms for jumping Funston over the heads OF regular
army officers.
Under the law. the president only give recos-
niton in the way OF special appointments IN the army
in two official grades that Of second lieutenant and
that of bridagier general all other places in the list
Of officers being filled by regular promotion.
A second ieutenancy did not appeal to Roosevelt
as the proper reward for Funsons services and SO
he made him brgader.
During the past few days, naval circles have been
in subdued rebellion over the action Of President Will
son in promoting Dr. Gary T. Grayson. his knsman
BY marriage and detailed at the White House as the
personal medical attendant Of the president to the
rank Of rear admiral.
The nomination Of Dr. Crayson to tina, high rank
is being denounced as a pointed example OF per
soDal favorism. The New York Sun seems to be
particularly wroth over the action OF the president,
Judging from its editorial remarks:
In one of his beautifully worded speeches last
summer on moral guidance principles before SELL
advantage and on the subordination of private IN
,c.sts to the service Of humanity, President vii
son said:
