Snubbed by Democrats.

A resolution was presented in the
Pennsylvania senate last Friday, pro
viding for the appointment of legisla
tive committee to assist in making ar
rangements for the unveiling of the
Hartranft monument, in Harrisburg
May goth. and also extending an invi
tation to President Mckinley to take
part in the ceremonies. When the reso
luton had been read Senator Washburn
moved that William J. Bryan of Ne
braska be also invited to attend the un-
yelling. After a short time the presid'
ing officer asked: "Is the motion sec
onded?" There were several democratic
senators in the chamber at the time, but
not one of them seconded the motion
and the resolution passed without any
invitation having been extended to Mr.
Bryan.

The Arkansas Democrat ex-
presses our thought so closely in
the following that We cannot write
1t more forcibly: "Thc exemption
of $4,000 from taxation in the Col
Inns bill is an Improvement in a
bad measure. The bill is still OBJ
Jectionable. No money or other
property should be taxed twice.
Money invested In insurance should
be taxed against the corporation in
whose Golfers it goes. This is the
correct principle, and there Is no
other rule to adopt. If the money
paid for Insurance is taxed as an
asset of the Insurance corporations,
as II ought to be, there is no just
reason for taxing it again"

could extend the time to their

The Arkansas Democrat says
that " if the Legislature will enact
the Kimbell bill or some other
sensible measure regarding a new
statehouse, and mike a beginning,
ii will not be long till we have the
building. If the legislature four
years ago had accepted the offers
OF Colonel Thomas Fletcher and
Mr.. John S. Braddock donating all
the rough granite necessary for
a capitol building, and had put a
snail force of convicts at work
quarrying stone, the work would
now be well under way. But it
seems to be the policy of too many
members of the legislature 10 wait
until the old capitol tumbles down.
Well, IT will take a tumble one of
these days, and ii can't be long"
We sincerely hope the legislature
will not be still asleep when time
has done its work of razing il 10

THE TINES heartily endorses all
of the fol loving from the Arkan-
sas Democ rat except the last clause:
"Our state lands are worth nothing
until they are put in the hands of
individuals. and on the textbooks.
A good disposition of them is to
trade them TO syndicate for a
new statehouse, as Texas did, or
give them to corporations that will
build railroads for them" And
we are not unfriendly to railroad
corporations, either. On the con.
trary, we are in favor Of liberal
policy toward them. But we do
not believe it Is right TO donate
large tracts of lands TO railroads
in order TO help run their business,
which is gen orally understood TO
be lucrative; and, besides, the
lands should be reserved for lust
such purposes as building public
institutions and improving the
states property.

FOR WIDOW AND ORPHAN.

The infamous Collins bill was de-
feated in the house Tuesday by only
one majority. This is the meas
ure which would put tax upon
life insurance, and champloned In
these columns couple of weeks
ago by our representative, Mr..
Blalock. Efforts will be made to
reconsider the vote by which the
bill was lost.
Speaking of the action taken,
the Arkansas Gazette says: 1.-THE
speech of Hon. j. Z. Wood, of Lee
county, in the house in opposition
to the Collins insurance bill car
ricd conviction with it. 1t struck
at the root of the measure, aud the
arguments he advanced are unan-
swerable. He had no object in
view IN making his noble fight
against the bill other than to pro.
tect the widows and orphans OF
Arkansas. His arguments were
powerful, his eloquence was ire
sistible.
"His contention that the bill was
"a stab at the loyal father who
would provide for his family after
he was gone, is true.
| at is also true that if the bill
had become law ii would have
driven the solid insurance compa.
MES out of the State and brought
in the wildcat companies.
''If all legislators could take a
humane view Of measures of this
character, there would be little
time wasted in debate over them
when presented for 4 third read
ing.
"Itls remarkable how some we'll
educated men will form wrong con-
illusions on propositions of this
kind. The TeXarkana Courier, for
instance, in its comments upon the
alleged virtues of the Collins in.
surance bill, says: The Collins
bill proposes TO force these Eastern
gentry, who make living out OF
life insurance speculation, to bear
their just share of the government
al expenses of the State. 1t is a
righteous measure. 1t should be-
come law
In this the Courier is mistak en-.
The bill proposed TO tax the hold
ers of insurance policies, not the
companies who issue them.
at was simply a scheme to tax
something that did not exist, and
the entire burden, had the bill be.
come law, would have fallen up-
on those who annually pay out of
their earnings certain amounts to
insurance companies in order that
should death overtake them their
families might be provided for and
be secured against poverty and
want.

cred than mans insurance policy.
