remarked that jdta had often noticed

By a study of childhood and
youth, we should be able to put our
selves in his place sympathetically,
suientifiicnlly, habitually. Another
good means to this end is training in
elocution. Our best schools claim
•that personal magnetism is devel
oped through practice in reading and
reciting such literary productions as
require .strung emotions for their

The International Arbitration and
Peace Association has sent a letter
to a number of American and Euro
pean jurists of international repute,
asking assistance to clear up ques
tions of the law on annexation and
the rules of warfare. The commil-

enclosed the parliamentary return on

siders it desirable to obtain the col-

TEXAS VVO.VT HAVE A FIU.VCIIISK LAW
An extraordinary decision has just
been rendered by the Texas supreme
court in a case involving the taxation
of special franchises. It is held that
the franchises of railroad, telephone,
gas and other corporations—called
their Intagible property —are not
taxable. It is almost incredible that
an opinion of this kind should -be
given by the court of last resort of
any American stale. Ten years ago
it would have been intelligible, if not
pardonable, but in view of the prog
ress, toward'equity and fairness in
the theory, if not in the practice, of
taxation the country has made since,
the Texas view is literally amazing
in its absurdity and backwardness.
According to a brief dispatch the
court’s reason is that a franchise is
lifeless without tbp real property to
which it is ittached and that taxa
tion of the franchise in addition to
the ordinary tax on the realty would
be double taxation. The argument
is as astonishing as the decision Is
the value of the property of a fran
chise-holding corporation measured
by any sane person oi agency by the
amount aud market value of its
realty—its plant, rolling stock (in
case of railway corporations), mains,
etc. V
The value of property for the pur
pose of taxation is and should be di -
termined by the market price it
would command at the time. Can a
railroad or gas plant protected from
competition by a special franchise be
sold for the value of its real estate ?
Is it possible that the Texas supreme
court has not heard of or understood
the New York law for the taxation
of franchises ns real estate—that is,
at the same rate as real estate? Has
it not heard of the Nuw Jersey law
taxing franchise-owning corporations
2 per cent, of their receipts, over
and above the taxes on their realtv ?
Is it ignorant of the “cofnpeusatiou”
contracts-made with public service
corporations in the progressive cities
of the United Slates ?
Franchise luxation is a settled and
established principle and policy in
this cotwttry. It is the only rational
alternative to municipal aud state
owneiship. The Ttxas supreme court
is behind the age. It should give
some attention to the tiend of things
in the republic at large. It will have
to reverse its anarchistic decision iu
less than five years, for even Texas
will not stand still.—Chicago Post.
