A GROWING VOTE.

There has been rapid increase in the
Socialist vote. 1t has increased from
126,445 in 1900 to 100000 this year
What does this increase mean? 1t is
distributed from Massachusetts to Cali
fornia in the North. 1t has made little
Roadway in the South except at Coving-
ton, Kentucky.
The existence of a protective tariff
levied to take money out of the pockets
of a large class of people and put it in
the pockets of the few, the advocacy OF
the ship subsidy bill, and voting subsi-
dies to railroads-this sort of unjust
paternalism that is favoritism to the
rich is an encouragement to Socialism
If it is right for the government tic
practise paternalism, which gives to
those who have the power to dictate
legislation; and robs those who lack such
power-if such legislation can be defend
ed, so can Socialism. Indeed it is re-
stricted Socialism, The Socialists wish
the government to be paternal, but tc
treat all it's children alike. The advo-
Gates of projections and subsidies wish
the government to be paternal, but wish
it to treat the trusts as favorite children
and all others as step children.

THE LESSON OF DEFEAT.

Everybody was surprised when the
publicans had carried Colorado There
has been no explanation that was salts
factory. The Rocky Mountain News
furnishes one that points moral to
other States. We quote
1.-THE revenue measure-a law of which
the Democracy may we'll be proud-was
nullified in it's vital features by the
board of equalization. No Republican
board could have been more subservient
to the great corporations in dealing with
their taxes In establishing valuations
the board ignored the vital elements
which the law directed it to consider in
determining valuations-the stocks,
bonds and other securities of the corpor-
ationS The valuation of railroad prop
erty was based, as in the venal days be-
fore the new law, upon the naked visible
and tangible property. The franchises
and market value of the stocks and
bonds were ignored as though none eX-
listed. The result was that the great
corporations escaped with the payment
of but a fraction of the taxes they should
have been forced to pay, while the pri-
waite citizen was taxed up to the very
extreme of his property's, valuation. The
Democratic State administration having
placed upon the statute books the best
tax law that any State can boast of, de-
prived the party of all benefit from it
by constituting it for the corporations and
against the citizen. The conduct of the
board gagged every Democratic speaker
upon the subject of the tax law. The
speakers could not claim credit for the
law without denouncing Democratic adj
ministration of it.
The Democratic failure to do its duty
in Colorado was one which deserved to
be rebul1ed The officers in this day and
hour who assess railroads, or other quasi
public corporations only upon the
naked, visible, tangible property" are
neglecting to tax the most valuable
portion of railroad property.
