THE INCREASED TAX RATE.

Il NE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM has plank
praising the present city auditor "for instituting
modern system by which any citizen at any time
obtain Ineligible information concerning the
and expenditures of the city"
The methods and systems in the auditors Office were
planned by Douglas Swan, Democratic candidate for
auditor, when he had charge of the Office. h a report
TO the city council dated Dec. - $780, Mr. Swan called
attention to the defects of the system then In use and
the recommendations he made adopted by his sue
cessor Mr.. Reiser, far Reisers limited knowledge
of accounts would permit. The very forms now IN use
by Reser were borrowed from George Wood the Demo-
cratic county auditor.
Further Auditor Reser has demonstrated that a
good system is of honest value in incompetent
hands. Take for instance his summary of the citys
financial condition Oct. l. 1t shows:

The taxpayers are entitled to exact information as
to the citys financial condition. They do get it.
There Is not member of the council a banker a
private citizen who find from Auditor Reser
what the city owes, what out and unpaid
what debts outstanding or how much the cvs ex-
penses exceed its revenues
This much, however every taxpayer has discovered
from his assessment notice: The city of taxation
has been raised for the first time in eight years from
~ to so mills and this in addition to an increase in
property values And the bonded debt of the city has
been increased $250,OOO
In the face of these facts the claim that the

man is taking no chances and is not permitting any
kind of information to slip through his fingers Still
it is evident that the is going on and the contest
in many ways will remind the student of our war for
independence.
The military history of the war has presented
many points of likeness, particularly in the persist
ency with which the Beers have kept up the fight
after repeated defeats by superior force.
What is even more remarkable is that the politi-
cal methods of the British in South Africa still

portation of com batants and other incidents OF
this war are of almost medieval severity. But even

resentment of our forefathers.
The marrying of the population under harsh mil

terrorism that is described by persons who have
turned from Cape Colony recall what have read of
the execrated British tyranny in the reign of George

Shall HARVARD DOCTOR Mckinley

The controversy which has been precipitated by
the protest made by certain prominent Harvard
alumni against the proposition to confer the title of
Doctor of Laws on President Mckinley, is interest
ng to say the least 1t is not to be understood that
the faculty has been betrayed into any intemperate
differences of opinion this subject. President
Eliot refuses to talk about the matter and the other
professors are preserving a discreet silence, which
COMFORTS admirably with the policy of reserve and
repression which is accounted the chief glory of
Harvard by all of its votaries.
1t does not follow, however, that there is not
very strong feeling at Harvard in favor of guarding
the title of Doctor of Laws against any innovation
which would tend, in the least degree to cheapen it.
Cambridge is thoroughly imbued with the idea that
there is certain distinction in rare scholarship
which neither riches official station give
That is to be expected in a community which has
been the seat for several hundred years. of the fore
most institution of learning in the land tits sem
timent with which person of liberal intelligence
can find fault. 1t is as certain anything can be
that such thing making Mr.. Mckinley Doctor
of Laws, would never have been thought of by any
Harvard man. if he were not President of the United
States.
The question to be decided is whether the force
and influence of politics entities him to such COM
pliment. 1t has been held by what may be called
the upper air and solar walk" alumni of Harvard,
that If there is to be any arstocracy in this country
II should be based on intellect, and on attainmens
that are not material fatutous in their character
This opinion would to be at least without ethi-
cal objections at time in the history of the country

A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

Congressman Babcock of Wisconsin, member
of the ways and means committee of the House, and
the chairman of the National Republican congress
ional committee, is alarmed at the enormous pro-
portions of the steel trust. and seems disposed to
clip off its foundation Babcocks plan is to repeal
the tariff duties on steel and pig IRON.
This is good enough as far as, it goes. The
only way to regulate destroy the trusts is by
abolishing tariff duties and opening doors to the
competition of the world. At El Paso and else
where during his tour, Mr.. Mckinley pointed with
pride to the ''open door in China. secured it is
alleged, through the diplomacy of Secretary Hay.
If the open door is good thing in China why not
in this country? Why does not Mr.. Mckinley and
his party propose an open door for the United
States? Because the trusts will not let them.
Babcock being western man, is naturally
alarmed at the work of the tariff in enabling Nor
gan and his associates to erect the billion dollar
steel trust and he has prepared bill to repeal the
duties steel.
Mr.. Babcocks bill, however, if sincerely
intended, stops with steel products Why not widen
its scope? The steel schedule of the Dingley tariff
has not the most need for reform. In comparison
with some other duties the rates steel products
are reasonable and mild.
Take the exhorbitant duties on wool fol
instance. They have caused the greatest mischief
to our WOODEN industries. AS result, a new reigr
of shoddy has come in. To smuggle pig iron or stee
rails is somewhat difficult but no amount Of watch
ing by customhouse officials can keep down the con
traband traffic in woolens which duty of nearly
100 per cent has been placed
Democrats are unanimously in favor of this re-
FORM and if few Republicans like Babcock will CO.
operate with them it will be easy matter to turn
the scale against the present high duties which in
crease the helpesness of the people to defend them
selves against the combines.

PRESIDENT MCKINLEY AND STATEHOOD.
pand.

President Mckinley, after much apparent hesi-
tation, finally induced himself to refer to Statehood
for Arizona in the concluding sentence of his speech
at Phoenix.
The President very adroitly, and yet very prop
y, throws upon Congress the responsibility of endow
ing Arizona with State sovereignty, or compelling
people to remain indefinitely in state of vassal
age. The Presidents words were:
Il congratulate you upon the splendid type and
character of your people and I leave with you my
best wishes for their happiness and progress and that
they may be able to show the Congress of the
United States that they have buided we'll and strong
y and wisely this great Territory and are prepared
to be admitted into the Union of States
This was undou btedly non-committal declara-
ton. 1t was nothing more than polite expression
of good will and hope, that under the circumstances
could not have been we'll avoided Mckinley was
careful to make utterance that might tend to
barrass his party He held out no promises to the
people of Arizona. He gave no cue to the Territor-
al or Federal Office holders to guide their actions.
It is true of course, that Congress has almost
exclusive jurisdiction in admitting a State to the
Union. The President must approve the bill, but
since the foundation of the government President
has not vetoed bill creating State. 1t can be as
sumed that President Mckinley will not violate this
precedent but this is abouta the people of Arizona
can expect from him.
The Republican party is specifically pledged to
admit Arizona, New Mexico and Okahoms to State
hood The platform which Mckinley was
elected contained this promise. But the Republican
President has just passed through New Mexico and
Arizona and not word did he utter to indicate that
he favored the maintainance Of his party's pledge.
