Blaming Party in Power.

The situation among the great
masses as it affects party affiliations
is understood by the Republican cam
paigners to be that householders.
tradesmen and restaurant keepers are
already suffering irritating inconveni
ence and are disposed to blame the
Republican party. The Germans, es
pecially. are saying that the Repub
lican administrator could settle the
strike if it wanted to. They point
to the fact that Senator Hanna
brought the operators and men to-
gether in 1900 and the strike was call
ed off, and that he adjusted the diff
ference5 in the spring of 1901 and pre-
vented strike. Further than this.
the average voter when he runs int
a financial panic or bad crops or hears
of a Homestead riot with troops call

power
The Republican party is very much
in power ny. with president a major

forty-six in the house. and the frantic
seeker for hard coal can not get it

Fearing the effect OF such cam
paign the Republicans are trying to
impress on the business and financial
interests, and especially the coal trade
interests, and especially the coal
roads that they may be deliberately
bringing on themselves evils which
may be worse than concessions to
John Mitchell and his strikers.
Some of the men waom they seek to
impress with the prospect of a Demo-
cratic trust war are deaf to their
pleadings. These want a Democratic
house of representatives as rebuke
to President Roosevelt and as a block
to any antitrust legislation in the
Forty-eighth congress.

DESPERATE EFFORT
Last One Being Made by Admins
tration to Settle Strike.

New York, Oct. 2.-NegotiatiOns
now being conducted in New York,
Washington Philadelphia and the an
thracite regions to bring about
strike settlement are understood to be
a last desperate effort of the admin
istration and the Republican party
managers to avert what may possibly
develap into a party calamity, Civ
ing the Democrats the house in the
Fifty-eighth congress and the presi,
dency in 1904.
Pivotal States at Stake.
No class of politicians has been
quite so much alive to the effect that
the coal famine might have on the
voting population as the Republican
leaders in New York Pennsylvania
New Jersey and the New England
states. These have all been rock-rib-
bed and concrete bottomed Republican
states since 1896. In these states
the house might be won and lost at the
next election, and one of them New
York, is likely to be the pivotal state
in 1904. These states, far more than
any other depend OH the anthracite

Avalanche Is Feared.
The loss of New York alone this
year MIGHT give the Democrats the
presidential candidate they are look

to that which in 1882 followed the
Democracy uphcaval in the CON

oHlo,s NEW TAX LAW.

The Ohio legislature has just
passed a new tax law which provides
that all quasi public corporations
shall pay into the public treasury
tax equal to one per cent of their in
comes, and that all private corpora
tions, formed for the purpose of pro
fit, must pay into the treasury a tax
equal to one tenth of one per cent
of their capital stock It is estimated
that the two bills will add something
over S2000,000 a year TO the revenue
of the state, but they have even great
er importance than this for they are
simply steps in Governor Nash's taxa
tion plan, which will, when fully car
ried out, result in an entirely new re-
organization of the tax system of
Ohio. A feature of Governor Nashs
plan is that as soon as possible and
as soon as practical, direct property
taxation as a source of revenue for
the state government shall be entire
ly abandoned thus forcing all of the
expense of conducting the state gov
ernment and the state institutions up
on the corporations.
Governor Nash, who has been a stu
dent of the question of taxes for many
years, and has given especial thought
to conditions as they exist in Ohio,
explains that when the corporations
are paying the expenses of the state.
property taxes, both real and personal
will then be left to the city and coun-
ty governments exclusively, thus do
ing away with a state board of equali-
cation, and giving to each city and
county all of the taxes raised in that
city and county He points out that
still another feature of his plan Is to
levy a tax of two and one-half per
cent. on all premiums paid TO foreign
insurance companies, thus encourag-
ing the home companies, and bringing
a revenue of 100000 for the state
from outside sources. The plans of
Governor Nash are quite radical, and
II will be interesting to note just how
the new system accomplishes results

TAXES AND VALUATIONS.

Each campaign the question arises
what amount Of property do candi-
dates pay taxes upon7 This is of
considerable interest in more ways
than one, and below Is given a list Of
some Of the legislative aspirants.
These figures are taken from the
county records, but do not show the
relative wealth of all the persons cor
rectly. For instance, T. b. Kay has
an interest in the Salem wooden mills
that does not show on the books in his
name. Squire Farrar ditto.
e. NJ. Croisan pays taxes on the
highest valuation, but pays more than
twice the tax of any other person, be-
cause his property is nearly all in the
city.
Mayor Tomlnson has recently ac-
quired property in Woodburn, where
he is erecting a good hotel, and hence
must be counted among the property
owners.
In explanation of the non-appear-
ance of the name of l.. II. McMahan,
the Democratic candidate for senator,
it can be said that his name does not
appear on the list of paying poll-tax as
he is probably an exempt fireman, or
has performed military service in the
Oregon National Guard.

THE MARION COUNTY CANVASS

The candidates who are now before
the people of this county are an unus-
ually able set of men. There are
speakers on both sides who would do
credit to any community.
In no county in the West are public
matters so closely scrutipized as here
IN Marion county. In no community
are the details of government more
thoroughly debated or higher ideals
set before the people.
Candidates who have not before
been on the hustllngs displayed sur
prising ability as debaters. and for
clearness of statements and grasp Of
facts. Notably Crolsan, Farrar, Judd,
TomlinsOn.
The veteran of the canvass is Hon.
