Albany Feb. 5.-People are beginning TO
wonder whether the Ranes Liquor Tax bill is
to be used to promote a gigantic piece Of political
jobbery According to reports current here to-
night Senator Raines and others who held
conference in the rooms of Thomas &. Platt
about the bill last Sunday evening, have de-
cided TO increase the number O.. excise inspectors
from fifteen to fifty, and to have one inspector
in every Senate district. Each inspector is to
receive an annual salary of 81. 500 If there are
to be fifty Of them this will involve an ex-
penditure of $4,000 yearly for the mere work of
learning whether the tax imposed by the Raines
bill is paid.
1t Is to be feared that most OF the excise IN
spectors would be mere politicians and that the
chief part OF their work would be for the benefit
Of the Republican machine. Under the Raines
bill as introduced, Controller Roberts TO
have the authority to appoint the inspectors Mr..
Roberts has thus far made excellent appoint
ments, but he will be put TO a severe test. If the
scheme to have fifty inspectors is approved by
the Legislature and Governor Morton. The Con-
troller may well pray to the Legislature 10 be re
lieved Of the burden of making these appoint
ments. If he never understood political pressure
before he will realize what 1t means within ten
minutes after the Raincs bin becomes a law with
such provision attached to H.
Senator Higgins. chairman of the Senate Com
mttea on Taxation and Retrenchment, said to-
day that he thought the Raines bill would be re-
ported to the Senate on Friday Of this week
1t is said tonight that an amendment Will
certainly be put in the bill. protecting dwelling
houses from having saloons opened next to them.
If the owners protest. The amendment Will make
II necessary for any one desiring TO open saloon
within 200 feet OF house used exclusively for
dwelling purposes TO secure the approval OF all
property owners within the POO feet before
certificate will be granted This will apply to
new licenses only.

Rich and the Poor.

Here now comes up this thoroughly
un-American question of the rich against
the poor. Some criticism is already lev
eled at this movement because those en-
gagged in it are representatives of proper
ty in their respective localities 1t is
characterized as the rich mans move
ment. Property is banding together to
carry its ends, and those ends are mimi
cal to the wage-earner and the farmer.
This simply is criminal nonsense. There
is not the slightest warrant in reason for
any such statement. The paramount is
sue of the campaign is a business issue.
ness-whethcr that blood shall be puri-
fed and kept pure, or vitiated and i'm
poyerished. Surely that proposition
reaches and interests everybody. And
another point. What authority is there
for the assumption that in moving in his
own interests the business man is NOV
ing against the interests of other men?
Under free government all interests
are allied. The business man cannot
prosper if the wage-earner and the farm
err do not. 1t is impossible. II the crops
fail and the mines and factories are idle.
so that the farmer and the wage-carner
have no money, how can the merchant.
or the banker, or the manufacturer
thrive? Where is business to come
from! On the other hand. if times are
good and confidence prevails. all feel the
benefits alike. Not all in equal degree.
of course. That could not bc. That
never has been. That never will be. But
to the extent of their stake in the game,
when the winnings are large. the farmer
ana the wage-earDer get their share along
with the business man.-Washingto
