Sherith Israel “How Religion May Be Revived.” There was a large attendance. The doctor said that the church at (he present time occuples a position entirely apart from the dally lives of the people. It does not concern itself with questions that trouble the popular mind, nor does it attempt to direct their steps or deci- sione in matters of vital importance to them or to the community in which they lived. Simply graylng was not religion, the speaker sald, nor was the vociferous rendering of psaims and hymns anything more than the ecstatic outpourings of re- ligious fervor wasted. When the church would leave off flattering its adherents into the belief that for a mere attendance | at service they are entitled to salvation and fayors from on high, and reconstructs its service, its policy and its doctrines to meet the conditions of the day and become a force operative in the daily lives of the peo‘ple. it will indeed be the bond that unites” heart to heart—the force that im- pels ta moral Improvement. Rabbi Voorsanger spoke before many members of Congregation Emanu-el last night on “Causge and Effect,” {llustratin; the events of importance which had af- fected the nations as well as individuals during the past year. The question of the influence of history on the future or its influence on the time in which we move was considered. The study and the knowl- edge of history was not confined to the palace, he said, since it was known in the town and in the village. The pulsa- tion of history was the same as the pul- sation in the ‘individual, in that it varied in the one as in the other.

Railroad Men's Tabulated Returns Confront '« Equalizers. The vastness of the scheme of the Southern Pacific Company to dodge pay- ing its share of taxes on its property in this State is illustrated by sworn state- ments placed before the Btate Board of Railroad Commissioners by persons offi- clally connected with the great railroad corporation. It is true that the state- ments were filed for a different- purpose than the one for which they are now sus- ceptible. The law requires that an an- nual statement shall be filed by each transportation company doing business m California, in which shall be included a gereral and detailed showing of the finan- clal condition and of operations. during the preceding twelve months. From this it has resulted that the Southern Pacific Company has annually put itself on rec- ord, before a public commission, where the records are easily accessible to the State Board of Equalization and to ¥ other citizens, furnishing the very facts concerning which the rallroad company's tax attorney befogs the minds of the pub- lie. Consequently even the wayfarer need not err in searching for the real facts, if he wishes earnestly to find them. The annual statement that was due from the Southern Pacific Company in December, 1901, has not, for some reason, been filed yet. In the office of the Rail- road Commissioners, however, are the figures for the preceding vear that throw all needed light upon the question of whether the State is fairly treated when the State Board of Equalization places the assessment for purposes of taxation inside of $11,000- per mile for the proper- ties of the Southern Pacific Company In California and rates the Central Pacific lines in the State at $17,408 per le. ‘When property is worth at least the face of the mortgage, the State is not getting a square deal if the figures supplied by H. E. Huntington and cretary Willcutt of the Southern Pacific Company, under oath, are accurate.. Mr. Huntington was the vice president of tne company when he signed the statements.to which some attention will now be paifd.”’ Sworn to by Huntington. On page 25 of the annual report of the Southern Pacific Company to the Board of Railroad Commissioners for the year ending Juné 30, 1900, will be found by the diligent seeker many details combined in tabular shape. These give the mileage, the amount of capital stock, the funded debt, the total stock liability and the rate of liability per mile of the following named corporations -at the date men- tioned: South Pacific Coast, Southern Pa- cific Rallroad of California, Southern Pa- cific of Arizona, Southern Pacific of New Mexico, Centrai Pacific and Oregon and California. Some of these lines are entirely in this State. In the case of the Central Pacific the more valuable part is in California. At the bottom of neatly arranged columns of figures are totals which could be of value to the State Board of Equalization, because they state the total mileage of the Southern Pacific Company’s lines a the average stock and bonded indebted- ness per mile, and so form a starting point for an intelligent investigation. There were, as sworn to by H. E. Hunt- ington and J. L, Willcutt on June 30, 1900, trackage of the roads named amounting to 5334.56 miles and the average stock and bond ilability of all this track was $$8,- 128 25 per mils. The South Pacific Coast lines, all of which are in the State of California, were found to be carrying a funded debt of $5,500,000 and stock amounting to 36,000,000 on 10110 miles of track, or $11,500,000 in all, being an average of $113,74876 per mile, as reported by Messrs. Huntington and Willeutt. The Southern Pacific Railroad Company of California, whose tracks are in this State, had a funded debt of $77,- 803,500 and stock of $101,289,160, the total being $179,092,660 on_ 26%0.41 miles of track, the average being $67,065 60 per mile. The Central Pacific Company, whose produc- tive business is mainly due to this State, carrfed $120,672,98670 in funded debt, $79,- 275,500 in stock and had 1348.66 miles of track, so that the average, as stated un- der oath, the statements of averages b ing made by Messrs. Huntington and Will- cutt along with the other figures, was $148,257 15 per mile. Beside these figures the plain man will rub his eyes very hard, if he is a taxpayer and not a tax- dodger, when he sees Board of Equalization made the assess- ment in 1%1 on these properties at the ratg of less than $11,000 per mile for the lines of the Southern Pacific Company and $17,408 for the Central Pacific. Huge Values Implied. The Southern Pacific of Arizona and the Southern Paelfic of New Mexico, although they may plead poor business in the sparsely settled regions in which they exist, as an exemption from taxation, are nevertheless found to be pleading guilty to carrying respectively stock and funded debt amounting to ¥76,34258 and $66, 097 34. The Oregon and California road, of which a great part is in California, made this showing over the signatures of Messrs, Huntington and Willcutt: Miles of road, 654.04; stock outstanding, $19,000,000; funded debt, $38,521,000; average per mile, $38,867 01, The difference that comes from not as- sessing the railroad companies’ properties at even the figures of stock and bond lia- bility to which the officers of the com- any have made oath is easily illustrated v taking the mileage of either of the exclusively California roads and apply- ing comparatively the assessments by the State Board of Equalization and the amount of the liability per mile men- tioned in the foregoing. Taking the as- sessment at $11,000 per mile for round fig- ures, although the State Equalizers make it some hundreds of dollars less per mile for assessment purpoces, the comparative statement would be as follows for the roads wholly in the State: On Stock State and Bond Equalizers’ sis. Basls. South Pacific Coast. $11,500,000 $1,111,000 §. P. R. R. of Cal.. 179,002,660 29,500,000 The Central Pacific and the Oregon and California road on the mileage in this State also show sreat discrepancies. The différence between the valuation placed by the State Board of Equalization in 1901 and the stock and bond Hability in 1900 alone amounts to more than $130,000 per mile on the Central Pacific and $47.000 per mile on the Oregon and Californin road. To this showing may be added a sum- mary referring to earnings which was also sworn to by officlals of the Southern Pacific Company. It appears from this that_the income from operation for the Pacific system of the Southern Pacific Company for .the year ending June 30, 1900, less operating expenses, was $10,- 57506272, It is a matter of common knowledge that this State supplies the great bulk of the business for the Pacific division of the Southern Pacific Company. Therefore the people who pay the eights—the oil producers, orange grow- g‘n and others of all classes—are con- cerned in seeing how they also pay the faxes that the Southern Pacific Company manages to dodge. ‘When Adatfi got off a good thin ever said: *'T always liked that j i Pears’ The more purely negative soap is, {he neager does it approach perfection.
