"That odious income tax seems
about to become an established fact,
but as only incomes Of $4,000 or over
are to be taxed. we do not worry very
much about ourselves personally or
for our brother editors. Howeyer,our
sympathy is broad enough to extend
to all those who viii suffer from this,
which has always been the most de-
spised of all methods Of taxation. 1t
is unjust to put premium upon in
dustry and saving, up to a certain
point. and then tax man above that
point. 1t violates the first principle OF
taxation. which Is that it should be
free and equal. We ask where is the
sense in reducing the tariff till it ceases
to protect our own industries, and
then making up the deficit in the
treasury by This most hateful Of all di-
rect taxes. The fact is, the present
administration is big ink spot on
The fair page of onr history. and the
sooner the blotting paper of public
opinion is applied to wipe it out Of
existence, the better.

TUBERCULOSIS Ar THE EXPERl-
mEkT STATION FARM.


The recent discovery of tuberculosis
in the dairy herd OF the Experiment
Station farm and the public announce
ment Of the same have called for
careful investigation by the Board of
Cattle Commissioners. assisted by the
State Board of Health. the Board of
Control and officers of the Station. 1t
is, as yet, impossible to determine the
source of the disease, and it Is believed
that it has existed in the herd in an
unsilspected form for some time. There
appears to be no reason to criticise the
management in any way for its pres
ence there, and the animals found dis
eased gave no outward physical symp-
toms of their condition and were ap-
parently in perfect health, and the dis
ease could only be discovered by the
use Of the tuberculin test All Of the
animals slaughtered have verified this
test and It is believed that the dairy
men Of the State have at their com
mand the means Of detecting this in
sidiOus and fatal disease III their
herds.
Strong measures have been taken to
free the Station from the disease. and
the action of the managers in making
an immediate announcement of its
presence as soon as discovered. and
the means adopted 10 purify the herd,
should meet with commendation from
the people Of the State and give re-
newed confidence in their purpose to
discharge their duty faithfully and
fearlcssly. 1t is believed that there is
no reason, as yet, to suppose that this
disease is widespread in our State, and
dairymen should not have any unrea-
sonable fears in regard 10 it. Careful
and thorough investigation of the dis
ease with the best authorities in this
and other States leads to the conclu-
sion that it has existed for long time
among the cattle in all portions Of the
country, and other States have had to
meet and deal with il in the past.
There is no reason to suppose that tu-
berculosis is more prevalent to-day
than for years past, only we have at
this time, through the discovery of the
action of tuberculin on infected ami
mas a tiiNdiA1 VI A'AatlAItH tAil~ tllN-
ease, and. consequently, a means of
purifying our herds, which is a step
forward rather than an occasion for
regret or fear 1t is hoped that the
dairymen of the state will take no
hasty or unwise action in consequence
of the discovery Of this disease in our
State. but that they win surround their
animals with the best conditions of
health possible and watch carefully
any indication of the disease in their
herds, and take means to free them
selves from il when once discovered.

Tine death Of George c. Hammond
of Barnard was briefly noticed in our
news columns las, week, but deserves
more than mere passing notice. For
many years. he was one OF the leading
farmers OF that town and one Of its
most influential citizens. A man of
sturdy independence, unimpeachable
integrity and strong common sense,
he had great influence in his town and
his death will be loss to the whole
community. lie was for many years
valued correspondent of this paper
and one of lis editorial writers. The
following tribute to his character from
the pen of Judge Danforh fully ex-
presses our appreciation of his worth:
Thursday morning, January ith,
death removed ont of Barnard's most
prominent men in the person of Geo.
G. Hammond, man who for forty
five years has been closely identified
with the interests of Barnard, and
one in whom his townsmen placed
great confidence, often honoring him
with their best gifts in town offices,
which places he always filed with
honor 10 the town and credit to HIM
self. His position as a townsman, his
standing as a neighbor, his reputation
as leading man in politics. his we'll
known morality, his strictly temper
ate habits and his Christian examples
will long be remembered as one of
Barnard's best. His voice was always
heard in town meetings and public
gatherings. and being a man of good
education and an easy debater, with
pleasing language. his influence had
great weight He was prosperous
farmer ard delighted in the name. lie
wrote for the different newspapers Of
ihe State, and his articles contained
much sound sense and logic. His ar
guments in debate were quick. sharp
and strong. No foe cared to have
them repeated His place will hardly
be filed for many a year to come.
Mr.. Hammond was born in Pomfret.

The Democrats in the Senate and
House, when the two bills for the adj
mission of Wyoming and Idaho to
Statehood were under consideration,
bitterly antagonized both measures
and declared that they would oppose
the admission Of any OF the remaining
Territories, unless they had the requi-
site number Of inhabitants. They
maintained that there was already
enough rotten borough representation
IN both branches Of Congress. Not
withstanding this determination two
years ago. they brought forward, at
the first opportunity, in the present
Congress and passed bills for the adj
mission Of Arizona and Utah, and
have other bills which they win bring
forward in the near future for the adj
mission of New Mexico and Okla
homa.
The only reason for the change of
tactics Is that the Democrats expect to
secure, by the admission Of these ter
ritories. at least six additional Demo-
cratic senators, which. if successful.
will give an additional lease Of power
in that body. The Utah and Arizona
bills, when they reached the Senate,
were referred TO the committee on ter
ritories. where they are now under
consideration. The Republican and
some of the Democratic members of
the committee have great doubts as to
the wisdom of admitting these territo-
ries at this time. Ii has been suggest

mittee that ii would be well TO inquire
into the desirability of changing these
bills by connecting Utah with Nevada
and Arizona with New Mexico, thus

To the Editor of the State Journal.
DEAR SIR-Under the caption of
~What is being said about the candidates"
in the Capital we find there is manifest
unfairness as to Mr. Hoch's candidacy,
preference being given to adverse crltI-
cisms. while we of the rank and file who
will do the voting, know the sentiment
today in the state is by large maj Ority
in favor of the Republican party follow
ing the lines as set forth by Hoch. We
have nothing derogatOry to say of Nal
MOrrilPs character, but we do have some
thing against the political leeches that
Immediately begin to fasten on to his po-
lltlcal body, many of whom, since HOchs
announcement, have loosened their holds
and scampered away, only biding their
time to again catch hold. We also notice
recently a caucus has been held in this
city in the interest of Maj. Morrill,, and
prominent among the supporters present
was prominent railroad official and one
who has held himself in the s.push'' in
the interest of railroad legislation. The
Republican party in this state has GER
talnly been very progressive and lenIent
as to railroads, and no doubt intends in
the future to deal justly, but the era is
past when our Legislative halls are to be
filled with railroad attorneys and officials
hired TO legislate in the Interests of the
people," No, Republicans of the state of
Kansas, we can't afford to start the new
deal save and except upon the lines as
laid down by Mr.. Hoch, and give the pO-
lltIcaI hxers to understand that the voters
are going to say who they want to serve
them, and do not propose to have great
ness thrust upon them. Our discipline
of the past few years has been wholesome
and if we succeed in establishing new
lines, we as a party have years of great
usefulness ahead of US in this state.
