yet. realizing that the results of the
present tariffs, however beneficial to
the few trusts, were hostile to the in

cor PEELED and enforced legislation
upon the lines of reciprocity which
means fair trade, SO that by the end
of his term of Office, the welfare of

Strangely enough, upon September
End, Vice President Roosevelt, not
charged with executive duties in the
administration of the government, de-
livered an address at Minneapolis in
which he used this laguage:
"No hard and fast rule can be laid
down as to where our legislation shall
stop in interfering between man and
man, between interest and interests.
All that can be said is that it is high
ly undesirable, on the one hand, that
In constantly increasing number Of
cases we shall find it necessary in the
future to shackle cunning as in the
past we have shacklcd force"
And again he said:
"Yet more and more II is evident
that the state. and II necessary, the
nation, has got to possess the right
of supervision and control as regards
the great corporations. which are it's
creatures, particularly as regards the
great business combinations which de-
rive portion of their Importance
from the existence of some monopol-
istic tendency"
These were the utterances of Presi-
dent Mckinley entering upon his second
and last term, and of Vice President
Roosevelt expressing his opinions just
prior to time when the hand of
death called him to assume the re-
sponsibilities of chief executive.
Who for moment believes that
the republican party In the next con.
gress will enact legislation carrying
out these views? Everybody knows it
will ne,e subscribe to the principles
thus expressed, and will never permit
legislation that will work their ac-
conplishment.

this great public question. Their
speaker of the house, and other lead
ing members of congress, the sena-
tors and representatives from this
and other states, with n partisan re-
publican press, have hastened to an
nounce that they do not propose that
future congressional legislation shall
be along the lines indicated in Presi-
dent McKinley's last public utterance;
on the contrary, they assert that the
tariff shall remain as it IL, and that
the Dingley bill shall be neither modi-
fed nor amended.
It is apparent that the trust influ.
ences of this country, taking alarm
at these utterances of President Me-
Kinley, have notified these gentlemen,
as masters notify their servants, that
the tariff shall not be touched, in or
der that the trusts shall continue
to prosper and reap their enormous
profits.

Lincoln was assassinated, the south

His administration is of personal in
terest to each taxpayer. This means
every user of property, whether owner
or tenant. The city, county, township
and state governments raise their reve-

to its value. In the making up of this
tax list and the fixing Of taxable val

and upon him depends such regulations

will deal equal justice to all.
He Is O member OF +he board of ap

throug the county, and appraiser Of all
railroads within the county.
The auditor makes up the tax dupli-
Gates, carries on the taxes, charges
the treasurer with the amount, and
turns them over to him for collection.
They are returned in February and Au-

AS secretary of the board of county

The TRUE VALUE
For Taxation OF All Prope rty
is Its Earning Ca
pacity.

The supreme court of the state of
Ohio, in a case in which the Adams Ex-
press company was plaintiff, rendered
this decision: "It is cardinal rule
which should never be forgotten, that
whatever property is worth for the
purpose of income and sale, it is also
worth for the purpose OF taxation.
The value which property bears in the
market, the amount for which stock
can be bought and sold, is the real
value"
What higher authority can be had
than the supreme court in matters per-
tanning to taxation in the state. This
IS the basis upon which the farm and
the home is taxed. Why should rail-
roads not be held up to this standard.
The stock markets are the true index
Of the value of these great tax dodgers.

ceive it in November at every poll.
The last public nttarance OF Presi-
dent Mckinley was delivered at Buff
falo in his address at the Pan-Amer-
lean exposition. 1t was an address
that, If accounts be true, he had mcd.
itated much during his summer vaca-
ton, and II was his first public utter.
ance upon great public questions after
his second inauguration. He had seen
an enormous strike last year, involv-
ing million lives In The coal regions
of Pennsylvania, and he had witness
ed the strike this yesr in that state
and ours, that affected an equal num-
ber of souls.
He stood for the idea of tariff for
protection only, as did no other citi-
zen or public man. The Dingley bill.
passed in the earlier days of his first
administration, was prepared upon
lines IN accordance with his views.
He had seen the result Of its practi-
cal workings, had observed its effect
upon our foreign trade, was familiar
with the trade controversies that had
arisen between MS and Germany and
Russia. and had evidently watched the
immediate and responsive growth of
gigantic trusts. many of whom, In the
short space of four wears, had come
to be in absolute and exclusive con-
troll of their particular Industries and
commodities in the United States.
In that speech President Mckinley
said: "Only broad and enlightened
policy will keep what we have. No
other policy will get more.

growth of our wonderful industrial
development under the domestic pol

"The period of exclusiveness is past.
Reciprocity treaties are in harmony
with the spirit OF the times. meas

President Mckinley had reached
these conclusions thus early In the

The Ohio Farmer, an agricultural
journal that has wide influence in
the state. sees fit to credit to Mayor
Johnson, of Cleveland, much in con-
nection with the agitation for equality
of taxation in Ohio. But it presents
it's case strongly in the following:
The people-the owners of farms
and homes-who bear the brunt of
taxation under the existing, defective
system, will support the mayors posi-
tion on this question, though they may
have no use for his single tax theory.
There is one way that he can work an
important reform-prosecute the audi
tors for accepting and using passes on
the railroads. There is a law against
this. Mr.. Johnson says: mo one will
deny that an auditor who accepts pass
from a railway corporation Is NOR
ally incompetent to make an honest ap-
praisment of that company's property
for taxation" This is true, and the
principle applies to legislators, judges
and all officials who can influence or
control taxation of railway property
or legislation affecting 1t. A pass
is simply bribe. Railways grant
them for this purpose only. Officials
may believe they do not accept them
as such, but that is what they are, all
the same. Railways care nothing for
the man-it is the position he holds.
Just as soon as he retires from the Of
flee or position railways have no use
for him. 1t is a shame and disgrace
to Ohio that this form of prostitutlng
legislatures, courts and taxing power
has been permitted to exist so long.
The people should rise up and smite
il down. We learn that during Mr..
Johnsons term as representative in
congress he never rode on pass. He
is honest in this fight against the
auditors and the people will support
him in it.

In Indiana it is taxed on $30,26
nearly three times as high.
Ohio people are taxed to pay that
railroads taxes.
The N. Y. G. & st. L. is assessed by
Ohio auditors at $13,713.
Indiana auditors put a value of S36,
go on every mile in the state.
We had better import some Indiana
auditors or elect some Democrats who
are pledged to higher valuations.
The Pennsylvania railway Is valued
for $2S,S23 in the Buckeye state.
In Indiana its value for taxation is
S7z, 1902.
Is the tax question a living issue?
The state Of Pennsylvania raises all
her state taxes from levies on big
corporations and valuable franchises
Her people have no state taxes to pay.
In Ohio the favors are shown the big
concerns, and the people bear the bur-
dens imposed.
The Republican party stands for the
present system. The Democracy is
pledged in its platform and on the
stump to correct these evils. There Is
no disposition to impose anything un-
just upon any railroad or other bic
corporation, but these concerns must
bear their share with the common
people.
Many a farmer has lost his farm
because of these impost duties that the
railroads are lodging. Many humble
home has been sacrificed to this same
greed. The remedy lies with the peo-
pie. The opportunity Is November 5.

Startling FACTS ON TAX VALUES,
Same Railroads In Indiana Appraised at Twice
and Three Times What They are in Ohio.

Why is Indiana better than Ohio?
Why Is the same line of railroad
worth twice as much for taxation in
Indiana as it is in the Buckeye state
why should it not be worth less,
when Ohio has a more populous terri
tory from which to draw business?
Yet here are the facts:
The Baltimore & Ohio in Ohio is as
sessed at $13,747 per mile.
In Indiana it is s25,120 per mile.
Ohio farmers pay taxes to make up
that difference.
The Pittsburg, Fort Wayne & Chi
cago was assessed by Ohio auditors at
s46,271 per mile.
In Indiana it's assessed value is S72,
S03 per mile.
Ohio home owners pay this difference,
The Lake Shore & Michigan Southern
is assessed at $33,5S0 in Ohio.
In the Hoosier state its tax value Is
$59926.
The tax rate in Ohio has to be in
creased to meet this deficiency.
The Lake Erie & Western in Ohio
pays taxes on 1862 per mile.
In Indiana on $1S,900, or nearly
twice as much.
What the railroad lodges the COM
mon people pay. ...-.... .
The C. G. C. & St. l.. has tax value
of $16,539 in Ohio.
In Indiana 1t is more than twice as
much, $35, ,259.

up this deficit.
