CHARLES H. PFENNIG was elected
Mayor blythe freeholders and taxpay-
ers of Kenosha who believe that the
time has come for more business1ike
management of the city's affairs.
There was very little craftsmanship in
the campaign. The vote proves that.
The citys is normally Democratic by
about two hundred, yet the people laid
aside partisan bias and voted for the
men who they believed would serve
them best. He has no ak to grind, but
goes into Office with the determinations
to be fair sto ali classes and parties,
and to give the city an economical,
strictly honest administration.

WISCONSIN has the ab1est represen-
tation in the Senate of any State in
the Union. Senator Spooner is ac-
knowledged to be one of the leaders of
the Senate, and Senator Quarles is
rapidly making a name and a place
for himself in that august body. Sena-
tor Quarles made his first extended
speech in the Senate last Thursday,
and in the language of the press dis
patches, was 'Iistened to with marked
attention" He spoke for nearly two
hours and made forcible and earnest
plea in favor of the bill to tax the
fraudulent coloring of oleomargarine
In imitation of butter.

Waterbury Democrat., 1902-04-28


 by company and sold to consumers Not sufficient consideration has been given by the Connecticut law makers to the taxation of corporations The need of the duty they perform has been so great that improper special privileges have been granted, to which the corporations have become accus- toned and which they now look upon as a right, imbedded somewhere in the principle of taxation. It is, however, by such decisions as this that the great and perplexing problems which grow out of powerful corporations are sure to be solved. They help amazing ly in assisting one to get clearer idea of the relation of semi-public corpora tions to the municipalities in which they are located It is necessarily a slow process, but it is far safer and more desirable process than the at tempt to solve the problem by radical means suggested by public indigna- ton.

Tariff reform will be one of the leading issues of the next and especial ly of the next presidential campaign" ]" said Senator Money of Mississippi, yes terday. when I asked him of the pros poets of Cuban reciprocity i'll the sen ate 'The republican party" continued the senator, dare not reduce the tariff which it has built up. Great moneyed interests protest at any reduction be- cause such reduction curtails their profits and these interests are stronger than the party. The removal of the differential on refined sugar was a step i'll the right direction. The profits of the sugar trust would have been re- duced to the material benefit of the people, but the bill was not amended ill the house with the expectation that it would pass, but rather with the be- lief that the amendment would kill it and there is no chance for the bill, as amended, in the senate. Notwith- standing the fact that many of the Dingley rates were made purposely high with q view to providing mar gin for the negotiation of reciprocity treaties, no treaties are confirmed by the dominant party, no reduction of tariff rates is made and the people nat rally turn to the democratic party for relief and they will get it."

The constant recurrence of rumors of Senator Hanna's aspirations for the next presidential nomination, notwith- standing the senator's gentle denials, renders his political methods particu- larly interesting at this time.

Two conspicuous exam pies have. recently attracted public at tention, one the case of Rathbone, the Cuban postal fund embezzler, who was found guilty and sentenced to a long term of Imprisonment. Senator Hanna has made the most strenuous efforts in Rathbone's behalf and has finally sue .ceeded in securing his release under heavy bail. Mir Hanna even goes so far as to cast reflection on General Wood in his efforts to Influence public opinion in favor of his friend" As . candidate for the presidency the. sen ator's course will doubtless stand him in good stead with certain element of his party Another instance of this same admirable trait has recently come to light in the case of one Harrison Wagner, whose military record Senator Hanna introduced bill to correct. The house committee which investi- gated the case fo'7nd that numerous forgeries, including senate bill and senate report, had been filed by MT Wagner, but doubtless Senator Hanna will stand by him and it is doubtful if he will ever be prosecuted.

The question of taxation was touch ed upon by 'Trumbull" in the. New York Herald yesterday. His article was called for by a recent decision of Judge Elmer in New Haven case. Here is what Trumbull has to say: I have never doubted. the justice of a single tax on franchises. Quasi-public corporations should be willing to pay for the great exclusive concessions made to them, which constitute rights and privileges which no private indi- vidual is permitted to enjoy. !, It is diff ficnlt to see why water in the pipes should not be taxed, since it represents a product to be sold It would be proper to tax air if it could be stored up

Now that smallpox has broken out in so many parts of the country the anti-vaccinationists are also breaking out with their protests and trying to impede the progress of scientific treatment People who stand around on the street and tell the firemen that blowing on a fire or putting salt on it will extinguish it better than water and work get pretty short shrift from the fire brigade. They cannot apply their theories even to their own property, for the property of their neighbors would be endan- gered if their crank notions were let loose.
