Useless Appropriations.

The tickle-me-and- -will-tickle-you
method of legislation is manifested in
various appropriation bills to improve
our inland waterways. While such
measures are ostensibly in the inter
est of producers, they will not be r
the test of the most careful scrutiny.
Millions are asked to make the Miss,
issippi navigable for larger vessels, so
that cereals may be carried to the
gulf at one-third the present rate.
The money that has already been
spent on this channel would have
built a double track railroad from St.
Louis to New Orleans, and yet further
expenditures, aggregating $3c,ooo,-
900, are contemplated. The advo-
Gates of coast defenses and more war
ships may be relied upon to support
these schemes upon a reciprocity
basis. If the cereal growers are to
be the real benehciaries of this large
expenditure, they should ask the
government to build a free railroad
to the southern seaboard. Such ar
outlay would be less in the end.

Rumors concerning the finding of
coal in the neighborhood of Emmons
and Elk Grove, are still on the GO.
The latest reports state that the PEN
tecost Lumber Co. are preparing to
prospect upon their own land and will
drill at several different points. We
are also informed that the veins found
on other tracts give evidence of large
quantities Of coal there, and that ne
gotiations are in progress to open up
operations for mining the coming
summer.-Benton ArguS.

Tax.DOdging by the Rich.

The final success of the heirs Of lay
Gould in escaping taxation in New
York City by the dodge of fixing a
'residence" elsewhere, is but another
sign of the times. These heirs in
herited fortune ofsome $50, 900.
They resisted an assessment of $1o,-
900, 900, and have succeeded in avoid
ing any taxation in New York for
state or local purposes.
In doing this they simply followed
the example of most of their class.
Not 10 per cent. of that form of ac-
cumulated wealth in New York City
known as personal property and sub
ject by law to taxation is actually
assessed and pays taxes, says the
UorM 1t was only the other day
that young Astor swore down his
assessment like a gentleman and a
plutocrat. And last year a combina-
ton millionaires succeeded in nuli-
flying the income tax, though in the
process it was necessary to get the
supreme court not only to reverse an
unbroken line of decisions upholding
such law, but to revoke its own
recent decision.
Thus does wealth escape its Just
share of the cost of government.
Eighty per cent. of all the tariff and
internal revenue taxes is collecte d
from the necessaries or comforts OF
the people of small means. Soon after
the war every tax Land specifically
upon wealth--yielding in one year as
much as So 236, 900, ,ooo-was repealed.
There is now no Federal tax lie t
based upon the just principle of taxa
tion according to benefits received
and ability to pay. The state and
local taxes on real estate are pa d
chiefly by tenants. Labor and con-
sumption pay. Wealth escapes. And
yet the tax-dodgers, the treasury
squeezers and the plutocrats who cor.
rupt politics and control the govern.
ment to their own selfish ends wonder
that socialism and populism and othel
signs of discomfort multiply and that
there is menacing unrest among tEs
people.

FREE BEER.

Judge Mcpherson has expressed a
hope generally shared in this state by
decent people, namely, that the
coming legislature will by statute for
bid under severe penalties, the furnish
ing of free liquor by candidates, or
their agents, to electors, at public
meetings or elsewhere.
The custom ofsupplying free whisky
and beer 70 voters during political
campaigns is growing rapidly in this
city, much beyond the suspicion of
Judge Mcpherson, we feel sure. Fixed
points are made places of common
rendezvous during campaign where
candidates or their hired assistants
supply all who can obtain "tickets," I"
or other evidence of being "straight," )"
with as much whisky or beer as they
desire. Generally speaking, candi-
dates do not hesitate to make liberal
contributions toward establishing these
points of resort for topers, loafers and
others and during the last municipal
campaign every ward had one or more
OF these free sheer batteries" running
full blast weeks prior to the election.
The growth and harm of this offense
hes primarily with the candidates, and
a stringent law, promptly and fearless
ly enforced, would speedily stop IL.
The punishment for a first offense
should include imprisonment as well
as a hne.-Hayrisbnrg Patriot

The Democrats of Centre county
are confronted with condition that
only the most judicious action and
the greatest prudence will enable
them to dissolve. There need be no
occasion for alarm as to the result of
next falls election if the men who
have it in their power to do so will
forget selfish personal interests in a
wholesome Democratic desire for
party good. The Democracy must
be represented by ticket the person.
al of which will rally every element to
its support. Old sores must be left
in their healing condition, for just as
sure as there is an inclination to in
volve the party in local fights there
will be disastrous results. We are
not discouraged by the outlook. On
the contrary issues are so shaping
that in national politics there is much
of encouragement and it would be a
fatal mistake to leave the country
drift into a condition of disruption,
and discretion in action at this time
would prevent such a disaster.

No other medicine ever possessed so

A member Of the Lycoming county
bar says that " we need law author
izing Justices Of the Peace, in case
they find criminal case unwarranted,
if it is misdemeanor, to collect their
own and the constable's costs from
the prosecutor, and, in cases of
felony, from the county. This would
prevent the return Of great many
cases to court that are probably made
only because by SO doing the Justice
and constable can get their COSTS"

A number of counties in the state
are making strong fight against the
unit rule in the National Democratic
convention. This rule permits the
majority of state delegation to say
for whom the entire vote of the dele
cation shall be cast for President.
Every man who goes as delegate to
the National convention ought to have
the privilege of voting for whom he
pleases, but under the unit rule he is
not permitted to do SO, if he happens
to be among the minority. 1t is high
time that this rule be abolished.
