TAX TI1K UOJirOllATIONS.
Tho state of Oregon should pay
tuoru attention to jotting general
-tato tax out of stock watering cor
porations. The supreme court of
ihe United States ou the 11th instant
teudered n decision sustaluiug the
validity of the Pennsylvania law
pioviding that tho Pullman Palace
Car company should pay tax on Its
property within tho state, the
amount on which it was to be
assessed to be found by ascertaining
the proportion which the number of
miles of road within tho state over
which the company's car run boro to
the total number of miles In the
United States over which they rati,
and then dividing the capital stock
of the company by the proportion.
It was contended by the company
that this law was unconstitutional,
for the reason that it was a regula
tion of interstate commerce, and
that its cars could 1)0 taxed only in
the state of Illinois. Justice Gray
ruled that it was not a liceiis-o or a
privileged tax, but a tax applied
equally on all tho corporations
within the state, whether engaged
in interstate transportation or not.
Tho tax on the company was em
ployed, not because it was doing
business in tho state, but because
the cars were in the state and wen
property, and they were taxed
w hether they went on beyond the
state's boundaries or not. Tho mode
of taxation the state adopted, on a
state mileage basis proportionate to
tho total mileage of tho country,
was au equitable and Jtmt method of
settlement, and, if followed in every
state, the company would be assessed
on the whole capital stock, and uo
more. The result of a decision that
such a method of taxation Is uncon
stitutional would bo that property
employed in an v continuous mop
incut would escape taxation alto
gether. Justice Gray also announced
that the court sustained the validity
of the Massachusetts law under
which tho commonwealth taxed
the buildings, machinery and oihei
property of the Western Union Tel
egraph company within the state,
first ascertaining and deducting the
amount of properly of the company
already assessed by municipal or
local authorities. Thcso two great
ivirnoriitlons L'O almost UUtuxul ill

pany pays a load tax in Multnomah
county. Is it not time Oregon was
getting its tax bj stem in lino with
common sense?

ENGLISH HOYAIiTY.
London, May 21. It la said that
tho charccs nllectluc tho character
of tho lato George IV. of England,
to which much publicity has been
given iu a weekly publication that
makes a habit of attacking royalty,
are being oxamlned Into under direc
tion of tho attorney general, with a
view of prosccutlug tho authors
should sufficient ground bo discov
ered for such action. Heretofore tho
royal family has Ignored all attacks,
howovor offeimlvo, as boneath tho
sovereign's dignity to notice, but
cortalu scurrilous publications have
of lato taken such liberties with tho
namo of Guolph that some action is
not Improbable. Tho llbellug of tho
dead is an oflcnso ugainst tho Eng
llsh law, aud tho prosecution could
bo handled with urn 'h Uat lncon
venieuco than ono involving living
perpous. The published statement
that George IV. has n living de
scendant Is denied on high authority
uud Is uot believed. Queen Victoria
has been noted for hor kindness to
the descendants of hor unolo, Wll-
llutn IV., and it Is thought inored
Iblo that sho would permit tho do
scondaut of another undo to suffer
iu want. Whllo there nro undoubt
edly Illegitimate posterity of George
III. in existence, thoy are, It is un
derstood, quietly taken cure of In
minor government offices or other
wise; no such claim plausibly pre
sented would go unexamined In be
half of tho royal family, and If
found trustworthy tho person would
bo taken care of.
