AN INNOVATIONS.

Commenting on the changes in the
system Of taxation proposed in Ohio.
the st. Louis Republic indulges in the
following sensible reflections thereon
and the plan suggested mrgnt well be
adopted in Oklahoma when It be
comes a state. The Republic says.
The system OF taxation proposed
by the governor Of ohio is intended
to relieve the real estate anc personal
property OF the counties rrom the ne.
cessity of paying the state tax, pre-
venting the injustice arising from er-
roneous valuation when state taxes
are to be paid, such injustice being
due to the fact that property in GER
tain co1nties is values more highly
for taxation than in others. The new
system would cause taxation to be-
come local, taxes upon property being
levied by the county, municipal and
ownship officers; the state revenues
being mainly derived from special
licenses. taxation of corporations.
franchises and the like.
"Unquestionably this system OF tax
alton IS more equitable than that
which now prevails Dnder existing
conditions the larger cities and the
more progressive counties 3f state
IRE unfairly taxed. There can not be
wo separate and distinct valuations
or tax assessments, the one local,
he other for the state eax. The two
must be uniform The result Is that
1unty or municipal tax valuations,
nade necessary for focal improyel
lent and maintenance. also furnish
he basis for a levy of state taxes. The
ystem is manifestly UNJUST and
realty to the prejudice or certain
tiles and counties in every state. a
eform which changes the nature Of
le state tax as suggested by Cover
or Nash is eminently raIr aaa de
irable.
"This reform, now submitted for
le consideration OF the Ohio legis- I
ature, might well be instituted in
Missouri and other states. The eqult- ]
BILE nature Of the proposed system is
pparent. The relief anorded 20 elias.

STATE oE JEFFERSON.

Bryan's Commoner says: Why Is
there so much delay in admitting the
territories The Republicans have in
two campaigns pledged themselves
uncqulvocslly to hte admission of the
territories. and yet they seem more
interested in ship SUBSIDY bills and
other measures that they dared not
specifically indorse. than in the meas
ure whic hthey so strongly advocated.
Arizona. New Mexico and Oklaho.
ma. including the Indian territory. are
ready for admission. 1t is to be hop
ed that the controversy over single
our double statehood will not prevent
the admission Of Oklahoma If Okla
homa and the Indian territory can
not agree upon a name, why not drop
Indian Territory" and Oklahoma
and substitute the name OF "Jeffer
son" for both? The state Of Indiana
preserves the Indian name, anG the
name Of Oklahoma can be preserved
in some local way The land embrac-
ed in the Indian and Oklahoma terri
tories is the last Of the Louisiana pur-
chase to be Incorporated into a state.
It would be a fitting tribute to Jeffer-
son to thus give his name TO a part
Of the territory purchased under his
administration It would probably re-
qulre year for the necessary formali-
ties, so that the admission of the state
and the adoption of the name would
be a fitting celebration of the one hun
dredth anniversary of the purchase Of
the great trans Mississippi region.

ton Dotson wes hanged today 1t ii.ao
a. m. for participation in the murder
of his father.
The crime for which Dotson paid the
extreme penalty Of the law today was
one unique In criminal annals. Dot
son was serving d flfe sentence FOR
the murder OF Eugene Cullnane, an
old pioneer miner Of Washington
Gulch. CuHinane was said to have se-
creted in his cabin vast wealth as the
result Of his mining. and this Dotson
is supposed to have been after. cui-
linane was ambushed and shot down
near his home. Dotson's father.
neighbor Of csllirane, was one Of the
principal Witnesses agsint him at the
trial.
James Macarthur was Doton's cell
mate in the penitentiary, alu with
him Dotson plotted the crime fcr which
he died. Macarthur was serving
short term and upon his release from
prison was to proceed to Washington
Gulch. assassinate Dotson's father and
to pin on the body confession de-
claring that the elder Dotson had
murdered Culhnane and that the son
was innocent of the crime. This con-
fession, it was expected. would free
Dotson. ~
Dotson promised Macarthur half OF
$4,000, which he claimed he had bur-
led in Wyoming, after he had killed
the old man.

Ex-Premier Charles A. semlin has

by members of the Clan Ma Gael 1t

from San Francisco for the purpose
Of carrying out the blowing up cf the
docks Their names, as learned by the
British consul at San Francisco were
Denny McDermot and Albert Rem
wicker the former an Irishman and
the latter a native of Belgium.
The information communicated by
the consul at San Francisco was that
AT a meeting of the Clan Ma Gael
means were discussed Of how to aid
the Beers in their war against Great
Britain, When the meeting was called
at first there was no intention to use
force, but McDermott, who was pres
ent. offered to go to Esquimalt and
attempt. a bold blow by dynamiting
as much as possible of the forts and
the navy docks there. He asked for
the naming of companion to assist
him in the deed. Renvicker offered
himself and was accepted The two
men were closely shadowed by detec-
tives Reaching Esduimalt Renvicker
became alarmed and disappeared. Nc
Dermott was then marched between
two marines to a wharf and sent back
to San Francisco by steamer. Court |
enay Walter Benunett the British
consul general In this city confirmed |
the story from Vancouver He would |
give no further information except |
that 1t was the work of society ar |

Irishmen who are prominent in the To-
al patriotic society emphatically de-
ny that there ever was a branch Of the
Clan Ma Gael In this city. They also
state they know Of no Irishmen of the
names mentioned in the Vancouver
iispatch who, could possibly be i'm
