clared that taxation is not uniform
In this connection he said
As an example of this unjust con-
ditiOn of affairs ! viii cite the large
express companies who are doing
business within the confines OF our
state: the Standard Oil trust, which
lays tribute upon all our people, and
many other large corporations which
absorb vast sums of money yearly, yet
pay no appreciate tax. One reason
for this may be that the assessors are
unable to find any tangible property
upon which d valuation can be placed
for assessment purposes This is par
tiCularly true in the case of the eN-
press companies and that of the
Standard Oil trust. These corporations
find il greatly TO their profit to en-
gage in business in this state. and as
a result these large corporations in

their proportion of the expenses Of the
state government They live under its
protection, they enjoy the blessings

STONE SAYS PARTY MUST
PUSH NEW ISSUES.

Kansas City. Jan. Sex Governor
William J. stone of Missouri was the
Jackson day speaker before the Jack
son County Democratic club in this
city tonight. The speech, which was
enthusiastically received. was in the
nature of a defense of the policies of
the Democratic party in the recent
campaign, but also advised that Dem
ocrats be more determined and positive
in their future policies
Speaking 70 questions Of party policy
he said:
While keeping steadfastIy in view
the basic principles of our government.
the preservation OF which is of the first
importance, I would again. as / have
for years past. urge upon the Demo
cratic party to be more affirmative and
aggressive IN matters Of public policy
Ny criticism of our party leadership Is
that il has been too negative. too con-
SeTVatiVe. and not sufficiently aSsertive
or progressive. We have become too
much a negative and too little positive
force in public affairs
Undoubtedly the money question
the trust question and the tariff ques-
ton are all questions of prime import
ance. but there are other questions also
of great public moment upon which
the party should take not only posi-
tive but a suggestive position For
instance. with a view to promoting our
commercial interests at home and
abroad. we ought TO make the Teha bill
itatiOn OF our merchant marine, the
I construction of an isthmiau canal and
/ the construction Of a ShipWay from
! the gulf to the lakes, and maybe to the
/ Atlantic, Il leading feature of our plan

merely oppose "a particular policy YOU
may consider bad. but you must pro-
pose and urge d better policy of your
own Here is open o great and Spien-

The speaker referred to Mr. Bryan
; in most complimentary terms, saying
he was one Of the greatest. purest and
noblest of living men, He said,
II am anxious to see the Democratic
party grow stronger by additions &c
its ranks. and cordially welcome al

by DR.. KinyoGn. When the federal
