Benjamin and Mullen, who have | the welfare of the Pike street sa loons deeply at heart, fought for the repection of the license and Preal- dent Gili made a counter attack. Benjamin blushingly called atten- tion to the fact that there are al- ready 18 saloons on Pike street be- tween First and Fifth avenues. He thought that was enough. He also said he did not want to see saloon licenses granted outside the saloon limita. Mallen said that it had been his ambition ever since he had been in the counct] to make of Pike atreet # first class business thoroughfare by keeping out cheap saloons.

Now, way this great road and ite stock | have become so valuabls is easily determined. 1 have extracted fro: | the report of the interstate com merce commission the earnings of that road in the year 1902, It ear ped $42, im that year, and | operating expenses and fixed harges, including Interest upon the nded indebtedness, was only 20, leaving it net earnings 232, and this was suffi j clent to pay & per cent upon its en tire capital stock and still leave it & surplus of 448,005, which it might pile up im its vaults in New York, place im betterments upon its | roada, or pay out in additional div- idends to its § stoc vider as it pleanes And what is true of the North- ern Pacific railway is true of all the other railways in (his state belong jing fo our great transcontinental | railway systems. The stock of the | Great Northern rafiway, instead of | being put into the Securities poo! at was put into that pool at the rate of $1.45 for each doliar of its actual market value, and I say that it is a fair and just estimate to tell | the people of this state that those ereat railways are easily worth the sum of $65,000 per mile, and, as there are 3,139 miles of those rail- | ware in this state, that gives us a oss valuation of $204,035,000. i® ‘Of course, nobody wants to tax | these railways upon a higher vatu- | ation than the property of any oth- | er man or any other corporation tn this state, and all of us want to tax them at identically the same char- acter of valuation, and we will, therefore, reduce this sum down to 70 per cent, and it still leaves a valuation of $142.754,500. Now, fel- jow-citizens, how much did these public service corporations pay taxes upon? I have it here, ex- tracted from the report of the state board of equalization. It was the | sum of $17,839,257, thus permitting | the escape from state taxation, if this property had been valued upon the same basis that your property enormous sum of $124,915,243, And had all of the other taxable prop- erty in that year been valhed at $259,000,00) it is easy to see that if this $124,000,000 which escaped val uation h would have added one-third to the taxable property in this state and | would have diminished the taxes of | every taxpayer in this state by one- third, Is that not a consummation to be most devoutly desired.
