Land is taxed under the provisions OF

to come. But the time MAY come when
they would want to take some action

from taxation as an induccmcnt for its
location in their county, as is done in
some of the New England states and in
Baltimore, Maryland, where such excmp

new enterprise.
But il they do not desire to take any
action, why should they vote against the
amendment and thereby deny to the
people OF any other county the right to
regulate their local taxes as they see fit?
Under the amendment the people of
any county can retain forever the same
system OF taxation they have now; but il
this proposed amendment should be
defeated neither they nor the people of
any other county can make any changes.
The question still is: SHALL THE
PEOPLE RULE?

Like all reforms in the interest and
for the general good of the people, the
proposed Australasian Tax Amendment
has been grossly misrepresented. Its
adoption at the coming election will not
exempt personal property nor anything
from taxation, nor reduce the taxes on
any kind of property. nor increase the
taxes on land.
If the people should take the pains to
carefully read the amendment instead
of accepting as true the misrepresenta
tions OF the monopolist and speculator
whose interests are always in opposition
to that Of the people, they would better
understand its provisions.
Let il be remembered that the amend
ment providc. that. the voters of any
county in the state MAY. by vote at any
general election, exempt or REFUSE to cx
cmpt FROM all taxation for county, city,
town, school, road and other LOCAL pur-
poses, hSY or ALL personal property and
improvements on land.
This does not exempt any thing from
taxation; but it does permit the people
OF any county, il they ~ desire, to ex-
cnpt any kind or all kinds OF personal
property or any improvements. from taxa
ton for local purposes. 1t is Home
Rule in taxation, control Of local affairs
by the people Interested, the fundamen-
tai principle of true democracy. Ii is
the initiative and referendum applied To
taxation.
Those opposed Ia il are opposed to IA
government OF the people. for the pcople
and by the people. Such opposition is
denial OF the most essential principle

ernment and prefers an absolute mouar

Anything for Ciilce.

Politics makes strange bed
fellows r. A. Chisholm, who
has held Office for SIX years by vir-
tue of populist votes, Is now out
canvasslng with Gaibreath the
democratic candidate for state
senator. a year ago an effort was
made by n few pretended populists
IN Rio Grande county TO put their
party to sleep in the democratic
bosom. They failed completely,
This year an attemrt was made by
the chairman of the central COM
mittce to ignore his party alto
gether by calling no conventions.
But IN spite of the chairman popn-
list conventions were held and del
egates were elected to the state,
district and county conventions.
Chisholm entered the senatorial
convention as a delegate and did
all he could to endorse the demo-
cratic candidate. He failed: then
went straightway into the demo.
cratic representative convention,
declared himself democrat. nc.
ccpted their nomination and made
pledge that he would not accept
tiie populist nomination unless
Galbrcath was placed on that ticket.
Now he is not only begging for
populist votes for himself. but he
has the aLdacity TO importunc pop.
ullsts 10 ignore their own candidate
for state senator and TO vote the
democratic ticket straight.
The populists endorsed White,
and Chisholm. the democratic nom
inces. thinking that parry would,
when they came TO take sober,
second thought, have more respect
for fair play than their leaders,
and wonM insist upon recognizing
the populists IN this populist
senatorial district But democrats
can learn nothing by sad expert
ence.

to hear j Stitt Wilson discuss
Socialism. He first showed why
he had the temerity to discuss n
great political question on .he
Sabbath day; that Moses, lsaiah
and Jesus did not hesitate TO do
good to mankind on the Sabbath
day and he was not ashamed To
follow the precedent set by these
great reformers whose mission was
to Tighten the burdens of suffering
humanity.
He argued that our boosted
prosperity WAS confined largely 10
the few, that all the means of pro
duction aud distribution of the
necessities of lite were cornered by
the few, and that under our present
system business was game of
chance in which ali played but
only the winners got .he rake-oil.
The great army OF producers Of
the raw material and those who
worked in the shops and mills had
to give up to capital s. for every
81 produced.
In order that every man and
woman should have the full value
of his or her toll the trust system
should be turned around, aud that
the state or government should
own the shops and operate them.
Our schools, our navy aud our
postal system are socialisiic aud
are successfully conducted. Why
not extend the system that gives
such universal satisfaction?
The great trust system is setting
men and women to thinking. Why
not incorporate some few indus
tiles in which all of the American
people can become stockholders
and realize dividends?
! Cooperation has come 10 stay
and why not the people take IL
hand in it and enjoy more of it's
benefits?
Taxpayers will be Interested in
knowing that the assessment Of
Rio Grande county, us turned in
10y Assessor Matthias, has been
raised 20 per cent 10y the State
Board of Equalization, excepting
on railroads, telegraph aud tele-
phone lines. This will mike
difference in valuation Of about
S306,G7l in the county, and will
probably necessItate n new levy
on the part of the county, the
towns and school districts m the
county, in order that more revenue
may not be raised than is needed.

ROOTS ADMINISTRATION.

L OR THE PAST FOUR YEARS the
L people of the United States have
been pouring forth money without stint
to bring to condition of preparedness
the naval and military arms of the
federal government. Money by the
millions has been voted for every
necessary purpose. The war with
Spain found the country unprepared:
fortunately. the conflict was in no
sense dangerous a any time. the Unit
ed States, even when unprepared, was
more than a match for the enfeebled
Spanish forces. For most of the con-
ditions prevalent at that time Secre-
tary Alger was blamed, .unjustly, of
course, but a scapegoat had to be
found quickly and Alger was too weak
to defend himself. In consequence. he
took the blame and left the cabinet in
disgrace.
Since then We have been promised
wonderful things. Mr.. Root was to
revolutionize affairs. Loyal party men
believed it, and to Democratic critics
they said: Just wait and watch" We
have all waited and watched for three
years, and what is the result of Mr..
Roots efforts? The conditions exist
ing under the Alger regime still con-
tinue. The war department has not.
ii seems, been taught the lesson of
efficiency and preparedness. The army
board of inspection appointed by Sec
rotary Root reports that the forts
about New York harbor have been
found unfit for use in time Of
emergency. At Fort Wadsworth, the
board reports. there is only enough
ammunition to fire thirteen shots, and
the men supposed TO use the big Arm
strong guns are not familiar with their
operation. At Fort Dupont the board
found that the guns were not ready
for immediate use.
The Philadelphia North American
suggests that possibly, if the attention
of the war department were less oc-
cupied with war of foreign conquest,
the coast defenses of the United States
would not be allowed to fall into
neglect.
1t will be actually interesting when
Attorney General Knox goes on the
stump this fall. Republican papers
assert that the president has asked
Mr., Knox 10 get into the campaign and
tell the people what you are doing
about the trusts" Should Mr.. Knox
take the president at his word and tell
there will probably be another shake
up in the cabinet. But he won't: he
couldn't be induced to injure his for
mer employers and his prospective en-
pioyers in such a way
