Pingree set to worl; to reform the stare; ne
found that Indiana secured about $2.JD.VOO
year in taxes from railroads. while Michigan
with a larger railway mileage, had been Eel-
ting about 100000 from the same source. I'm
gree had bill introduced In the Legislature
giving the various counties OF the state power
OF local taxation over the railroads ana ailow-
ing them to assess railroad property the same do
other property ard collect taxes from the cor
porations Independently. The raiIroaos oppose,u
this but the people approved ana the result
was the passage of a compromise bill increaS
ing the taxation on gross earnings ana ooupiihs
the amount Of taxes received. But THIS was
not satisfactory to Pingree. and in the cam
pagn lust closed he made his fight chiefly 10
favor OF further Increase.
The general impression is that Pingree IS
demagogue Those who know him do not be-
lieye this. He is a man of high ideals and ex-
allied principles. His reforms have always sue
ceeded None OF them have been chmeras. In
bringing tnem about he has used the fnethous
of nrac1icaI noliticians and has proved himself
their master He has wonderful knowledge OF
human nature and he has used ii to bring about

In every way he has shown himself the mas

PENNSYLVANIA az thoroughly as PinSree OWNS
Michigan. Judging by results. he Is the greatest
boss Of all.

"POTATO" PINGREE.
A UNIQUE AND MAsTERFUL LEADER

From The Chicago Tmcs-Herald
Hazen S. Pngree, Governor OF Michigan. Is
the greatest political boss that the country has
seen There has never been his equal in the
running Of a convention and in making the peo-
pie do absolutely what he wants. That incl
dentally he does what they want does not alter
the case. Politicians to-day admit that Quay
Plat and Croker. able as they are in the con-
troll o. organizations and the mastery OF the
people, are not his peers.
To-day H. s Pngree is the absolute master OF
Michigan. His will is law, and the people not
only follow him wherever he leads. but they
are proud OF It. There is. to be sure. a differ
ence in the methods he employs. Pngree Is
honest. One OF the chief faults his enemies find
with him Is that he Is incorruptibe. This Is an
unusual charge to make against boss But
Pingree is an unusual boss.
The election held recently In Michigan IL
illustrates the control which Pngree has over
Michigan politics. The boss himself was can
ddate for Governor. He won the nomination
after the hardest kind OF fight Then he ran
80 900 or more ahead OF his ticket He named
most OF the Republican legislative candidates.
He merely sent word to the conventions that he
wanted So-and SO nominated. The conventions
usually did his bidding. In those cases where
the conventions did not obey him Pingree came
out openly and fought the nominees Of his own
party. He did not fight in secret in the usual
fashion OF the political bosses, who make pro-
fcssons Of loyalty and then pass the word
along the line to knife the man whom they pro-
fess TO support. Iingree announced that such-
and such a candidate on the same ticket with
himself ought to be defeated And he
Never has there been seen such a case OF
bossisn as there was in the Detroit Legislative
districts. Pngree seat down to the convention
a printed list Of the men who were to be nomi-
mated. He admitted it and gloried In 1t. The
opposition called the nominees the o. X. d ten.
and the branded slaves" They were held up TO
ridicue as being owned by Pingree. The nomi-
nees did not resent II. They went on the stump
and publicly announced that il they were elected
they would have no higher ambition than to do
exactly what Pingree advised them 10 do The
result was that they ran away ahead Of their
ticket
Can Croker, Quay or Plat show any parallel
to that?
HIS START IN POLITICS.
Pingree has his own methods. He Is original.
In the first place. he came into politics by acct
dent Before his nomination as Mayor OF De-
troit. In 1880 he did not know the first thing
about politics. He was Republican because
he was born in Maine. Beginning life as jour
neyman shoemaker. he had become proprietor OF
a shoe factory and his political duties consisted
in sending check each year to the Campaign
Committee. 1000
Pngree was nominated for Mayor in 1852 be-
cause Cleveland had carried the city year be
fore by 1000 majority. and nobody else wanted
what was considered an empty honor. AS soon
