Pennsylvania appears to be deter- mined to have a revenue from its coal mines and it has passed a law layine a tax of 21-2 per cent. on the output of coal. The intent is to n which own the large mines pay taxes on the the reseuit is a tax levy ke the rallroads rt of the coai property, but upon all of the e mfl copsumers in the countr for the rons shove t tax over upon the dealers, a bit increased, and then the fealers wink the other eve and s over upon the consumer, who by e way is always made burden bearer or goat by capital As a resiult soci sm is prescribing government ownership of the mines and other public service plants as the snly cure for our troubles, when if the doctors of political economy would only strive to find a serum to .check greed the matter we tled and more quic Dot What the people need is nof an in- creased beaurocracy, but an improved democracy ild be better set- A NATURAL DEPRECIATION.

The Bulletin devotes a page this morning to the report of the expert examiner of the municipal gas and electrical plant, and it worthy the attention of every intelligent citizen He finds the total net profits of the business during the city’s ownership have been $278605.85, and that the profits last year averaged over $3.000 a month. | He recommends a change in the method of keeping the accounts, which it is to be hoped will be adopted and carried into effect. The report shows the plant has been well managed from -the start, and there is no question as to the benefits derived by the people and the business concerns. The whole benefit does not appear in the surplus shown, for the greatest advantage to the people lies in the lower rz Municipal plants pay no dividends to the stockholders except in the way of cheaper products. When the peo- ple are served with water and light at the lowest possible rates, all alike share the blessing of the ownership Tt has been repeatedly shown that the surplus does not stand for the lessening the taxes.except as inreserve funds they may be used for repairs or improvements, or to meet the other rilities of these plants.

To the average man earth 1S earth. and that is all there is to it; but the educated farmer knows his soils as any mechanic knows his working tools. The rock experts recognize the character of the soil by the appear- ance and feel of it. In Rhode Island the government experts list -eleven kinds of seil. In Plymouth, Mass., they found sixteen varieties. In the Nashua area, New Hampshire, there are eight The Vergennes area, in Vermont and New York, has nine. The Orono, Maine, region has eight kinds of soil, all of ‘glacial origin, while the Caribou region In the same state has eleven. Merrimack county, New Hampshire, has seven. all also of gla- clal origin, and all derived from gran- ite. In the Connecticut lev one would imagine there would be but one or two varleties of soil. In the lower portion there are nine. Mr. George French, who has been doing New England, say: “The cen- sus has shown us that New England improved land can be bought for one- quarter the cost of improved land in the middle west, and that it will pro- duce one-third more. New England raises five times as much fruit per acre as Illinois, seven times the value in vegetables, 17 per cent. more stock per & and about 20 per cent. more value in certain other crops per acre. “New England land is valuable for a great variety of crops, but for fruit it surpasses any other section of the country, because it is composed of the proper chemicals and because the cli- mate is favorable for the trees and the fruit. There is much land in New England, two or three million acres, good for nothing but to keep off the lists of the assessors of taxes. Actually, there is but a small proportion of this land that could be made to pay large divi- dends on a fair valuation and the nec- ; amount of work and money to make it pay. Much of it is ideally fit for a planted and tended crop of white pine—a crop that will pay more than 300 per cent. profit when it matures. EDITORIAL NOTES.
