The Mail wants TO know if Naug

The Mail wants to know if Naugle
thinks Mcbride or Doubleday would
enjoin the collection Of railroad
taxes. If there is any one thing that
the editor of the Mail imagines he
knows more about that another it is
law and court procedure, yet he
feigns innocence. He ought to
know and does know, that railroads
go only to the federal courts for pro,
lection. State courts are too close
to the people. Judge Foster at To-
peka would no doubt give them the
protection they would crave.

There are five jobs in prospect this
fall in which citizens OF Wellington
are eligible. Out Of the five the city
Of Wellington in the Republican
convention took three leaving the
other two for the balance of the
county. This moves the Caldwell
News to remark:
Wellington in political way is con.
siderable Of a grown up pig. 1t don't
seem to matter whether any candi'
date outside Of that city would make
the ticket stronger and insure sue
cess. Wellington goes on in the old
selfish way Of hogeing all it can get.
1t sometimes happens that this mar
row policy rebounds on the head Of
the county seat.

perhaps, the resistance would have
been more determined.
With this encounter so fresh in
their minds our present state board
OF assessors certainly had justifable
grounds to move cautiously, and in
a manner to get all the taxes the
railroads should equitably pay with
out jeopardizing the uninterrupted
progress of our school and munich
pal affairs, and in taking this wist
course they have won the applause o
the people.

With great glee the Republicans
report that Sergeant Young, who

The People Will Judge.

The Mail and the Monitor Press
both try to demolish the VOICES
REPUTATION Of the charge that Popu-
lists had reduced the railroad assess
ment but neither of them touch
the vital points. If space permit
ted we should like to print their
articles in full in order that our
readers might see their deficiencies
in all their glazing prominence.
Here are some of the important
things they ignore altogether:
~ That the apparent reduction
in the total assessment is due to the
fact that the Santa Fe refused to re-
turn its rolling stock as it has always
done heretofore; only for this the
assessment would have been in
creased by half million dollars.
~ They are as silent as the
grave about the cause of the reduc-
ton of the Missouri Pacific assess.
ment. The Monitor Press says the
VOICE "claims that the Republicans
raised the valuation to punish it for
not contributing to their campaign
fund" The VOICE made no such
claim. The Monitor-Press should
have been fair to its readers and told
them it was Judge Albert H. Hor-
fon who made this claim before the
state board of railroad assessors.
The VOICE has no doubt of its
truth.
W 1hey say nothing OF the fact
that the Rock Island assessment was
raised amounting in this county to
S7,7l6; that not a dollar was taken
from the valuation of the Santa Fe
lines, (aside from the rolling stock
which the company withheld); and
offer no explanation Of the reduction
on the St.Louis Kansas and Western,
because of the loss of all its rollins
stock and declining value of the
road.
The readers of these papers vii
continue to remain in the darl
about these points unless they ge

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec 9-Th purchase Sc

as the representative of President Ripley of
the Santa Fe, paid to the Union Trust com

Before the close of the day 500 additional
shares OF stock were presented to the Union
Trust company by individual shareholders.
and the holders promptly received the par
value OF their stock in exchange. This
leaves less than 1000 shares outstanding.
Mr.. Hellman said the Union Trust company

chase all stocl; by stockholders, and that

here, to go into force, as planned, contem-

l. This tariff measure, it is said, will show
an average reduction all along the line OF
about fifty per cent from the Spanish tariff
rates. The understanding now is that there
will be no. export duties, and that in other
ways the burden of taxation will be reduced.

ministration and full control of the United
States, and the other to give Cuba an lnde-
pendent postal system to be established and
equipped by the United States government,
but to be operated and administered and all
expenses paid by the Cubans, this govern
ment merely furnishing equipment at cost
prices and assuming only supervisory con-
necton with it. A decision on this point

A GROSS INJUSTICE
To Make Express Companies Pay Any
War Tax

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 9-Wells, Fargo
e. Co.'s Express company has filed answer
to the suit recently filed to compel the com
pany to bear the expense oil all war stamps
on packages transmitted.
In the answer filed with the county cl,rll
yesterday, Wells, Fargo & Co. admit the
allegations of the complaint, but deny that
they are violating their franchise or acting
in any way not according to law and equity
in compelling customers to pay the war taN
on packages. 1t is contended that deci-
sion compelling the company to bear the
cost OF the stamp for each and every package
forwarded would mean a dead loss to the
company of 500 a day or Sl60, 600 year at
least.
1t would be a gross injustice to the com
pany, it is contendad, that this burden
should be inflicted. On constitutional and
equitable grounds, therefore, the company
asks that the writ of mandate asked for by
the attorney general be not granted.
In addition to the answer filed, petition
is presented requesting the removal of the
case to the United States circuit court The
petition sets forth that in the petitioners
judgment the Federal courts alone have juris-
diction over cases like the one at bar

Labor and Capital

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9-The Industrial
Committee has been engaged as body dur
ing the greater part of the week in consid-
ering the plans of proceeding with the work
before it, which have been proposed by the
various subcommittee appointed on the
questions in hand. These plans cover the
four important branches OF the work-ag-
riculture, mining, manufacture and transpor-
tation-and the subcommittee have all
completed their work so far as they are
able to do so. 1t was naturally found upon
comparison that some of the plans over
lapped and general subcommittee consist
ing of representative from each OF the dl-
visions was appointed to revise the various
syllabi TO harmonize the several plans and
to prevent duplication. The committee con-
sists of Mr.. Harris of Ohio. of agriculture;
Mr.. North of manufactures; Mr.. Ratchford
of mining, and Mr.. Phillips of transporta-
ton.
When this work is completed and the full
committee shall have finally entered upon
the work of its report, the subdivisions
will take up their assignments in earnest.
They expect, first, to consult such documen-
tary evidence as is to be had in Washing
ton, and will then take such testimony from
individuals as may be considered necessary
to their enlistment on the questions of the
inquiry, the relation of capital and labor.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 9.-The House
Committee en- Military Affairs today began
consideration Of the important measures
for the reorganization and increasing of the
army TO meet the conditions arising out OF
the war. Such progress was made that
Chairman Hull said at the close of the meet
ing he expected not only to report the bill
to the House before the holidays but also
TO pass it by that time. In order to ex-
pedite the work daily committee meetings
will be held beginning next Monday. Cen
cral Miles and General Schofeld, the pres
ent and the late commanding officer OF the
army, will be invited to be present on Mon
day to offer suggestions and recommends
tions. Following them the various heads OF
staff bureaus, the Acknowledgement, com
missary general, uartermaster-general,e etc,
will be heard.
More than usual interest attaches TO the
meeting today in view of the effect OF this
legislation upon the future status OF the
army. The bill Immediately under con
sideration was the Hull bill, introduced by
Chairman HUI and having the approval OF
Secretary Alger The other army bill,
drawn by General Miles, probably will be
introduced in the House on Monday and re-
ferred to the Military Committee so as to
be taken up when General Miles is heard.
Mr. Hull explained the plan Of his measure
in so shaping the arms of the service SO as
to bring the total effective force up to lO0,-

decisions were reached and no votes taken
on any of the features of the bill, the whole
