TAX ON STATE BANK ISSUES.
Bin RepeaIIng the Tax WIN lie Reported
This Week.


This Week.
WASHINGTON, Jan. SIT is probable
that the important bill repeating the
10 per cent tax on state bank issues
will be reported from the committee on
banking and currency ut an early day
and perhaps during the present week.
There is wide difference of opinion
between the democratic members as to
the principles OF such "A measure. and
as these differences cannot well be
reconcled the general desire in the
committee is to report bill simply re-
pealing the tax and then let the house
decide all differences
The bill of Mr. Cox, OF Tennessee,
which is "a brief repeal of the state bank
tax, without any effort at regulating
future bank issues, was under consider
alton at the last meeting of the com
mittee. To some extent it is bidding
for favor against the bill of Mr. SPRING
er, chairman of the committee, which
removes the tax on certain kinds of
state bank issues, secured by govern
ment, state or municipal bonds, Mr..
Springer thinks the bills do not con.
ilict and might both be reported II is
probable, however, that the simple re-
peal bill will first be reported, and that
the Springer bill will be taken up by
the committee Later.

The Three Great Struggles.

The belief IN ''cheap things is one OF
our inheritances from old England, and
it has to be drowned or buried. England
wants 'cheap things" to feed and clothe
her cheap labor. and she must have
cheap labor for she makes and works
for foreign markets and not for home
consumption, and that is one of the
reasons why the rich get richer and the
poor get poorer over there.
Some day we will throw overheard
as they did the tea in Boston harbor
our belief in cheap things. 1t is our
destiny to have three great battles =
three great struggles.
The first was to secure our political
independence. We have got that.
The next was to establish the fact that
we were a nation, not conglomeration
of petty States. We had to face civil
war, but we established the fact.
Our third great struggle is to secure
our industrial independence Of the
whole world, and especially of England
and we are going to get that in the face
Of Free-Traders, Tariff reformers, trusts,
monopolies anG everything.

REPUBLICAN COUNTY TICKET.

At the top of this column will be
found the Republican county ticket as
placed in nomination by the convention
which convened in the city of Marsh
field Thursday Sept. Goth. The conven-
ton aimed to nominate men for the
several offices that could be endorsed
by all the people. The Republicans
understand fully that they must receiy e
democratic votes to elect their ticket.
Republicans are in the minority in this
county as past elections have fully
proven. Recently the Democratic
party has become corrupt and two
defaulters were discovered at the open
ing of the present administration. This
is the result of parties when they grow
too strong. The ticket placed in
nomination by the Republicans is made
up of all nationalities and diversified
believers in religion, and nearly every
sect is represented. Every man nomi-
mated, if elected, will serve the people
just as well as the present administra-
ton, and better in some instances, if
you only give them trial. A change
could possibly do no worse and it might
prove much better. We ask for their
election

Niger in the WoodpiIe.

1t now appears that State Senators j.
W. Murphy and Sam. Smead long since
fled with the governor their resigna-
tions as senators. They had accepted
ana were filling federal offices and that
fact alone was formal, constitutional
vacation of the state offices held by
them, but nevertheless they are said TO
have resigned the latter. Both, how
ever, kept silent on the matter until
very recently, no doubt deeming the
governor as the proper source through
which the public might learn of their
action. But for some reason as yet
unknown to the people the governor
omitted to disclose the information of
which he had official possession, altho'
the press of the state has had much to
say for several months past relative to
the doubtful condition of the senator
ships in the Murphy and Smead
districts. Nor did the governor,
according to a published report, officially
inform the secretary of state of the fact
OF the designations being III his possess
ion until Tuesday, the latter having
long previously issued the notices for a
general election without allusion to the
vacancies of which the governor had
full knowledge. He will now, of course
issue supplemental notice.
But what the public wants to know is
Why did the governor suppress the
legitimate news of the designations?
What was his object? Was project in
contemplation-and was he party to
ito permit two democrats to hold on
to the vacated senatorships if they
should be needed to continue the upper
house under democratic control?
A very ugly look surrounds the whole
transaction, and an explanation from
the chief executive TO the people is
clearly called for.-Madlson Democrat

policy which created it for us. The
time to begin doing that is IN November,
when the American people will have a
