Are the RailroaJs Overtaxed ?
Today's Constitution has a labored edi
torial on tin* "Gro a ill of Our Railroads,
In the course of which it attempts to show
that the railroads of Georg.a are more
heavily taxed tha nany otoher class of
property.
it even asserts that “no property la re
turned for its full value, but the rail
road:* are assessed at nearer t-eir full
value tiian almost any other form.”
It is difficult to believe that even a rail
rod organ, su i as the Constitution is
krto.n to b*-- though not owned outright
and opt rati 1 by the railroads, as is one of
its conleinporarie in thl3 state —could se
riously a rt t *,,* t the railroails of Geor
gia are too heavily taxed. And yet the
Constitution wades through a labyrinth of
figures to prove its contention, with the
result that it furnishes absolute proof to
the contrary.
The Constitution shows that all rail
road property in Georgia Is assessed this
year at $42,288,457. It is sufficient to dis
prove the Constitutions's contention, to
state that the Central of Georgia Railroad
alone is bonded for more than the assessed
valuation of all of the railroads in the
state.
It Is evident, right here, that other rail
roads are bonded far in excess of their
real valuj which is true —or else they
are a , . s. .1 for less than half their value
—'Which is also true.
The Constitution quotes figures from the
comptroller general’s oftlce relative to
railroad taxation. The News happens, also,
to be in possession of figures from the
comptroller's office, but they carry a far
different meaning from what the Constitu
tion would make believe.
The Central of Georgia, for instance,
pays taxes on $5,131,825 of property, and
Is bonded for $50,000,000, or ten times Its
assi- si d value. Does there appear to be
any over-taxation in this instance?
Th< Southern Railway pays taxes on
$5.1 :t1,X25, and its property in Georgia
carries an estimated bonded indebtedness
of ovi r $10,000,000, or nearly eight times
■the assess -d value. Is there any evidence
of over-taxation in the Southern’s case?
The Georgia Southern and Florida is
assisted for taxation at $1,555,350. The
s.ntne property, which its owners tell the
slate is worth only a million and a half
dollars, is bondi d for four million dollars,
with three million dollars of stock addi
tional issued on the property. 'And this
same property earns a 5 per cent dividend
on a valuation of five and a half million
dollars, or about 17 per rent in its assess
..v 1 •--- rwmi-iiln Southern
and Florida appear to be overtaxed?
But let’s Investigate the Georgia South
ern’s case a little further. The comp
troller’s books show that In 1894 the as
m ssi d value of the road was $1,434,315.
At that time the road was newly con
structed: it ran through ipiue barrens
from Macon to its Florida terminus; its
earning pow r was nothing as compared
’with the present, and it mt»y be safely es
timated that it: enhanced value is almost
double what it was in 1804. And yet it is
assessed today for only $58,035 more than
In 1801.
The Constitution contends, however,
that “with the exception of cotton faeto
rns, p i onsidcrablc class of property In
the state has advanced in valuation with
anything like the rapidity shown by the
railroads in the last eighteen years.”
Ikies the Georgia Southern prove
it? Do the facts and figures, as taken
from the comptroller general’s office,
prove it as regards all the railroads of the
state?
It is almost amazing to think that any
railroad organ could be bold enough to
make a plea of overtaxation for the rail
road-* It A* more to be believed that the
railroads and th, o organs would prefer
not to call public at tent on to the matter.
Certain it is discussion will but lead to
the inevitable conclusion that the rail
roads of the state do not pay taxes on any
thing like their real value. Or else 'they
are bonded for eight or ten times as much
as they should be, and are earning divi
dends far in excess of what they are en
titled to —as based upon valuation.
Rut since the Constitution has seen fit to
bring the matter to the surface, let. it
proceed to defend its railroads against the
grinding tax laws of Georgia. Let it, if it
■will, make it an issue in rhe gubernatorial
race, in which, as usual, the Constitution
and it*; candidate will atompt to play a
conspicuous part. Will Mr. Candler, who
is in a position to know the facts, endorse
the Constitution’s utterances in behalf of
the railroads?
Tt is cuir humble opinion that the Con
stitution. itself, will have cause to re
gret that it ever stirred the question. Wo
are even willing to predict that it will
try to drop it, now that it is confronted
with facts and figures that conclusively
disprove its absurd contention.
All the railroad organs in Georgia ean
r.or make any sane man believe that the
railroads are overtaxed, when i'heir own
books show that they earn fair dividends
on from eight to ten times their assessed
valuation, and outrageous dividends on a
fair valuation.
We are surprised that no parapragher
has yet thought to ask. what’s the matter
with Hanna?
Hanna Is Still Senator.
The statement has been made that
Hanna is no longer a member of the
United States senate —that his appointive
term expired on the day rhe General As
sembly met. This is an error, declares
the Telodo Blade. His appointment holds
until his successor is elected by the legis
-1 tr«. In ease the're should be a dead
-1 • a. the precedent established by the
l '">>'• ’ bs senate in former eases is
th.. the sijt will be vacant after the sine
die adjournment of the General Assembly.
Prof. I. W. Andrews, of Marietta College,
in his ’ Manual of the Constitution.”
makes this definite statement: “When a
vacancy is temporarily filled by executive
appointment, the senator thus appointed
1 olds his t fi.oe till the close of the next
succeeding term of h!s state legislature.”
lie quotes Towle as authority for this
dictum. Mr. Hanna is still United States
senator, and will hold that position, under
his appointment by Governor Bushnell,
until an election by this legislature, or
until it adjourns sine die without filling
the place. In the latter case the place
will remain vacant until the next General
Assembly fills it. The governor has not
the (lower to appoint where the legisla
ture 'ails to elect. The United States
senate has so decided in two or three
oases—the most recent one being that of
Oregon.
Bad luck for the man she has married
isn’t as crushing to a woman as good luck
for the man she refused, declares the At
chison Globe.
Election of 1900.
Mr. Henry Watterson, wrking on “The !
Political Outlook” In the Forum maga
zine, suggests the possibility, even the i
probability, of "a quadrilateral contest j
! for the Presidency, with candidates cor- !
I responding to Low and Tracy, George and i
j Van Wyck.”
I So far as the Democracy is concerned,
the reasons loading him to such a fore- j
[ cask are, in brief, his assumption that the !
| Bryanites will holt If they are not able to
| control the National Democratic Convtn
-1 tion, and that the “more conservative”
; Democrats, “led fey Tammany,” will holt
| if they are outvoted by the Bryanites.
! Neither side, concludes Mr. Watterson, j
can afford to be beaten and submit to the I
I domination of the other in the party or
j ganization.
The New \ork Sun, which Is opposed to
j everything Tbemocratic, takes issue with
I Mr. \\ atterson and gives sensible reasons
| for the prophecy that the issue in 1900
| will be, more than ever, between straight
out Republicanism and straightout De
mocracy, as party principles are now de
fined. The Sun says:
"No indication of any such irreconcila
ble discord as Mr. Watterson predicts,
however, can be discerned in the Demo
cratic situation. The signs at present point
rather toward harmony. The delegates
r # ot P, .New 5 ork to the national convention
of 1 mo are not likely to repeat the una
vailing protest made against the great
majority made in 1896, hut will rather de
monstrate their regularity by assenting to
its will with cordiality. No' bolt in case
of the triumph of either Bryan ism or its
opponents need be expected from Tamma- •
ny -... e ew York organization may be!
relifcd upon to remain scrupulously regular
v\ hichever aide obtains the mastery in the
convention. Nor does there appear at pres
ent any indication in any state of the pos
sibility of the election of a delegation
which will holt a Bryanito platform. The
indications throughout the Union are that
the next National Democratic convention
will be harmonious «n its declarations of
policy and principles.”
1* rom which the Sun, very sensibly con
cludes that the indications of the political
situation as it is now, point to an even
squarer fight bet ween Bryanism (as it is
pleased to term Democracy; and the Re
publican party in 1900 than we had in
1890. The “National Democrats” have
already disappeared, says the Sun. They
have no existence even as a faction, and
rhe bottom has dropped out of their plat
form, it says. The Sun further d eel-ares
that Bryanism may undergo some slight
Changes in its guise, but that there will
be any essential transformation in it is
suggested by nothing which has yet ap
peared in the political situation since the
election of 1896.
AH of which is simply a frank, honest
view of the situation by a newspaper that
has already made its choice between De
mocracy (Bryanism, he it is pleased to
call it) and Republicanism. As the Sun
forcibly points out, there is but one of
two courses open to those who do not like
the principles of the two old parties as
now laid down—they must recant or with
draw. The issue in 1890 will be as clear
cut as now. There will be no equivoca
tion, and it is idle for any man to hang
onto the 'Republican party in the hope
that it will take up bi-metallism or the
Democratic party in the hope that it will
desert—or to the “National” offshoot of
the latter in the hope that it will cut any
figure either way.
The day is come when “he who is not
for us is against us,” and forthcoming
political battles, whether municipal, coun
ty or state, must fee fought on those lines
which will keep the main issue well to
the front—as the chief test of party loy
alty. Any man who is mot now willing ito
measure up to the true standard, cannot
be counted upon to do so in 1900, and he
must, therefore, he regarded as a party
enemy, and treated as such.
The question as to when the Nineteenth
Century ends and the Twentieth Century
begins, is again agitating the minds of
many people. 'Charles A. Dana made the
following answer In the New York Sun
a year ago, which ought to settle the mat
ter: "Answered once more in the interest
of domestic peace. The Nineteenth Cen
tury win end ana tne 'i wenxietn century
will begin at midnight between December
31, 1900, and January 1, 1901. The year
1900 will be the last year of the present
century. The year 1901 will be the first
year of the Twentieth Century. This is
because there is no year 0. The first Cen
tury began with the year 1, and conse
quently includes the year 100 A. D. The
Nineteenth Century, accordingly, includes
the year 1900 A. D.
“A small private dinner party was given
in Philadelphia the other day which cost
$3,500 for food, flowers and other fixtures,
the host himself furnishing the plates,
which were of solid gold. The ladies
present wore about a million dollars worth
of diamonds, and one fair and luxurious
dame was enveloped in a crearh satin
dress which was aotually trimmed with
the sparklers. There’s richness for you.”

themselves of their privilege in wading

SANTA TERESA
Has Arrain Excited tiie Yaqui Indians to
War ar.d Raid is Threatened.
Hermosillo, Mex., Jan. 7. —Teresa Urrea,
who is known throughout Northen Mex
ico among the Indians and lower class of
M. xieans as Santa Teresa, has again re
turned to Mexico.
The reports reaching here say that she
is among the Yaqui Indians, exerting her
wonderful influence to stir them up to go
oi the war path against the peaceable
settlers of the Vaqui river valley. About
two hundred braves have allied themselves
to her fanatic cause, and a raid is threat
ened.
A force of government troops have been
ordered to the scene of the threatened
trouble from Ures, i nthis state.
Teresa Urrea is a beautiful Indian girl,
and claims to be divinely inspired and to
have the power of curing any and all bod
ily ills by simply laying her hands on the
afflicted persons. She has absolute con
trol over the Indians and Mexicans of the
lower class.
