THE EQUALIZATION BOARD.


The Fargo Commonwealth makes the
following truthful statement regarding
Governor Allin's action as member of
the state board Of equalization. The
Commonwealth is right when it says
that, should. Allin be nominated, he
would be overwhelmingly defeated by
the people whom he betrayed:
The oil inspector (Winship, of the
Grand Forks Herald) acknowledges that
the equalization board. of which Governor
Allin was the head, was . disgraceful
affair. He admits that they acted in the
interests of the corporations, but. - an
excuse for Governor Allin. says he could
not control his appointees. There was q
beard composed of seven republicans out
of total of ten. One of these seven was
the governor of the state who had lately
appointed three of them. He had investi-
gated the gentlemen he appointed before.

General Cowan protested at every stage
in the proceedings, against the absurd
and unfair action being taken. What did
Roger Allin do? He made no effort to
have fair valuation fixed and sat silently
among His appointees without word of
protest. To say that he had 20 power,
to play the baby act as the Hetah f9es.
to whine at the minority aud to laythe
blame upon them of the action Of Cow
ernor Allin's board. is not good excuse
for the governors conduct. If he did not
know any better, he is not the man to
continue in the governors chair. The
Herald and other ,All,n organs are busy

the people. Is 1t not sufficient for the
people to know that he did betray them?

THAT truly 8OOa man, brOtner WOOD,
of the Steele Ozone, is in trouble. AS a
silver man, he has taken up with Hughes.
the most virulent gold.bug of the state.
As champion Of the people, he trains
with Stanley, who is the Northern Pacific
attorney at Steele. With blind pig in
his own town, of which he says never
word, he deplores the lax enforcement Of
the law 10 Bismarck. Spending good
share of his time outside the state, be
rails at Mckenzie. who has always claimed
Bismarck az his residence - and any
American has that right--a man, too, who
is heavier taxpayer in the Slope couu-
ties than a dozen men like Wood. He
barks at Mckenzie, silver man, as being
a representative of Wall street, and then
rightly denounces Wall street as the head
quarters of the gold. bugs. And now Mr..
Woods righteous soul is narrowed be.
cause the Ozone is the only republican
pro.sllver paper in the state that has
bolted Mckinley and Hobart.
Were it worth while to argue With a
man so Inconsistent. we would call
Brother Wood attention to the fact that,
while with him silver is the paramount
issue, with other editors. presumably rs
honest as himself, such may not be the
case. So far as the Record is concerned,
we will say that it does intend to support
Mckinley and Hobart; that its editor
hopes and believes they will be elected;
that, If he were as truly. good and pious as
his Steele co.laborcr, he would pray for
their election. And we are willing to
give reasons therefor. In the first place,
we truly believe that protection, and not
the currency question, is the vital issue,
and that the first thing necessary is to
| provide revenue that will render the sale
of bonds unnecessary. Furthermore,
that, If higher tariff does not give us
better times, free silver will carry almost
unanimously in 1900. Another thing
although it may not seem of great i'm
portance to Brother Wood: When ths
republican party was in power, justice
was done to the old soldiers in the matter
Of pensions. Under Cleveland, they have
been put to every petty and contemplate
annoyance possible. The writer believes
that one of the first duties of q govern.
ment is to take care of the men who took
care of the government in its dark hours
that is, when the old soldiers and those
who have been dependent upon them
need assistance, they should have it. We
consider this simply matter of justice
and Of at least as much importance 81
tho silver question. Undoubtedly, tht
free.silvsr republican editors who refuse
To bolt do so because, like the editor ol
the Record, they think that . higher
tariff and justice to the pensioners are oi
more importance than the free-silvel
question.
