FARMERS growl about their taxes this
year and with good reason. But it is OF
little consequence how much dissatisfac-
ton they express when tax paying time
arrives. ANY effort made toreduce taxes
meets with determined opposition from
the farmers of the northwest. When
they express willingness by their votes
to pay heavy indirec. tax to the nation
al government and to protected indus
tries they admit the proprlety OF the
states imposing heavy direct taxes. The
state has already paid ont $4,000 for a
soldier record. 1t is of no benefit to the
soldiers but furnishes good positions to
many persons employed in compiling
the records. When Cleveland vetoed the
dependent pension bill which would take
millions of dollars yearly from the people,
he receives the curses of those whose
interests he sought to protect. La
defeating him the people pronounced in
favor of high taxes. A republican legis-
lature saddled the expense OF the soldier
record, which Will cost the state $4,000
before it is completed, upon the people,
and made it the duty of each county to
levy tax for the benefit OF old soldiers
within its limits, and directly after the
state gives an increased republican ma
iority, thus expressing emphatic approv-
al of these added taxes. And then farm
ers growl when they come to pay the
taxes which they practically voted for
What glorious consistency They get
what they ask for and find dissatisfaction
in it.
Wisconsin always votes for high taxes.
The tax it pays the national government
in excess of its needs is two times as
great as all the local and state taxes It
pays. And still 1t celebrated victory
which means a continuance and IL
crease of these taxes. Is not this 5
strange spectacle?

TIE Evening Wisconsin expresses ap-
proval OF the senate scheme to reduce
the tariff on sugar and then compensate
the sugar growers from the tariff received
on sugar by paying them a bounty.
This is how the people generally are to
be relieved of taxation. The tax ia to be
reduced on sugar, but the people while
having cheaper sugar must pay the
amount thus saved to the sugar growers
Of Louisiana, and to do this and still
provide sufficient for the government the
tariff on other articles of necessity must
be increased. This is the tariff revision
proposed by the republican senate and
approved by the people at the election
last November!

legislature, the position must be worth
considerable. Money was paid out law

have exceeded the salary attached to the
office? Could the corporations tell tale
if they chose? Is the exemption of insur-
ance companies from taxation one of the
results of this common phase of politics?
