Democratic Conventions Adopt
OCaIa.

RALEIGH, n. c., May 20.-The democratic
state convention assembled here and the alli-
anee and the peoples party men appear to
be in control, and propose to adopt the st.
Louis platform and elect delegates who viii
be instructed to attend the Chicago eonven-
ton and present such platform for consider
alton.
The programme is that if this is done, and
the platform refused consideration, the dele
gates are then to attend the Omaha conven-
ton and take their seats therein as accredited
from this state. The convention is held in
the face of the urgent appeal of the Cleve-
land men for a later date. The state com
mittee also refuse to put any qualifications on
the voters, and the third party and alliance
men took part in the primaries If the pro
gramme, as mapped out, IS carried through
il will be a repetition of the history of 1850,
when a large element of the democratic ma
tional convention refused to abide by the viii
of that body and organized the Breckenridge
bolt.

Pullman Taxes Being PAID.

For years there has been constant
wrangle between the Pullman company
and the counties regarding the payment
of their taxes. Much litigation has
been the result, but after several years
of delay the company was worsted and
has surrendered.
A representative Of the Pullman COM
pany appeared before the railroad board
and made the first statement that has
ever been made of the company's prop
erty in the state, and also signifed the
intention of the company to pay all
taxes.
Every twenty-four hours 200 Pullman
cars enter Kansas territory. The value
of the Pullman property that is brought
under taxation will reach a million
dollars.
From this settlement the state will
realize not only the amount of tax on
this large amount of property, but the
company also agrees to pay its back
taxes, which are due for several years
past and amount to thousands of dollars.
The company has already begun to
make a settlement of these overdue
taxes in many Of the counties.

Hoist With Their Own Petard.

The suggestion that an income tax
expense of pensions and other atroci-
ties perpetuated by the Republican
party, sends a cold shiver down the
plutOcratic spine and provokes frantic
protests from servile organs.
There is retribution in it. These
expenses were not incurred and made
permanent from any love for the old
soldier. The veteran was simply the
pretext. The corrupt servants of fav-
ored individuals at the bidding of their
masters saddled the Government with
enormous pensions and bounties simply
to make high taxation necessary. But
it did not occur to the holders of spec
ial privileges and monopolized markets
that the sneaking system of indirect
taxation, which insured them their
privileges, might be discarded and they
themselves be compelled to pay for
their own whistle. They cling like
true Bourbons to the belief that "the
people wouldn't stand direct tax, 81
and as long as the people remained in
that mind they were reasonably certain
of exemption from taxation and prac-
tieal monopoly of wealth.
They played the game once too often. |
They swelled the expenses and then
smilingly waited for taxation to swell |
in like degree. But the people called
a halt. The pension list may not be |
reduced, but the gentry who made it
will have to pay it. We are face to
face with the academic question, "How |
will you get revenue?" which now pre-
sents itself not theoretically, but as a |
cold and clammy fact. The answer is
plain. 1t will be got from the incomes |
of privileged persons who overreached |
themselves. They are hoist with |
their own petard. Post Dispatch.

Upon conviction, defendants appealed

able and exhaustive opinion by Judge

does not limit the right to contract, but
only prescribes its form in certain con-
tingencies in favor of class already
too nearly helpless. This opinion is
only in line with his previous record as
an able, conscientious, upright and
fearless judge, and also in him with
the causes of his retirement from the

capitalistic Influences which dominated

"Once a pensioner always pension
er" is the way it works. and there seems
no way to reduce the number of pen
sioners except on an investigation of
each individual case again. In the
meantime the people paid 1929, 900. 900
for pensions last year and a deficit of
about 500, 900, 900 is now staring the
treasury in the face. The Democratic
congress must provide for this and for
$3.50, 900, 900 more for next year. How
do the taxpayers like the legacy of
the Reed Congress-? just think of it !!
The taxable valuation OF Missouri, the
fifth state in the Union, is just little
over 5000, 900, 900. In five years the
pensions would take the whole state of
Missouri and next year would ask for
$3.50, 600. 900 more. An income tax to
raise this sum seems inevitable. And we
should have it.-Montgonaery Stand

position it is scarcely necessary to
speak an able lawyer, of excellent
judgment, and of probity beyond
question. he needs no eulogistic phrases
to emphasize his candidacy. Always
Democrat, and always willing and able
to labor for the cause he espoused from
the casting of his first vote, he is put
forward by his friends in the Southeast
as deserving person to administer the
duties of the Office for which he is nam
ed. We do not know that there is an
other aspirant in the Thirteenth and
Fourteenth Districts, and, this being
the case, solid Southeast will no doubt
ask Mr.. Edgar's preferment. He GER
tainly has the endorsement of the many
who know him all over this part of the
State. This being so, and there being
no possible question as to his fitness,
We feel sure that the incoming Presi-
dent will bow to the wishes of the peo-
pie and make his appointment in ac-
