The Indiana Republicans.

The Indiana republicans renew their
pledge to protection in the following terms:
I'VE adhere to the policy Of protection.
Under it our industries have developed and
the hopes of labor have been increased and
wages maintained at a higher rate than
would have been otherwise possible.
I'VE favor the extension of markets
through carefully guarded reciprocity
rangementS with other countries wherever
1t can be done without 'interrupting our
home production While we favor such
notifications of tariff schedules as, from
time TO time. are required by changing con-
ditions we insist that such changes shall
be made in line with the fundamental prin-
clple of protection"
This is excellent, but when is the work
to begin? What the country wants, and
the occasion calls for, is action on the
great number of declarations that have
been made in favor of reciprocity. OF what
avail is it for the republicans to meet In
state conventions and approve of reciproc-
ity in their platforms when reciprocity
treaties several years old are hanging fire
IN the Senate. and simple cut of 20 per

The Washington Taxpayer.

Elsewhere in The Star will be found some
per capita tax statistics of Washington as
compared with the sixteen cities of the
United States nearest to it in population.
These figures show that the local individ-
ual taxpayers of today, emitting the United
States 4 taxpayer wholly from the cal
culation. bear a reasonable average tax
burden In comparison with other large
cities
But there are peculiar conditions affecting
the national capital, and it's statistics which
cause these figures to minimize unjustly the
local burden
The per capita results are reached by d.
viding the property assessment. the reve-
nue. contribution and the property taxation
By the population.
The first popularity TO be noted IN respect
to the capitals figures is that only one-half
Of the taxable property figures in the cal
culation. The nation owns one-half of
Washington and in lieu OF taxation there
on and for other equitable reasons it pays
an amount equal to that contributed in the
aggregate by the local Individual taxpayers
The governments half of the capital con-
tains the costliest of its business establish
ments and factories, property which in the
other cities with which il is compared
swells by many millions the schedules of
taxable property. Washingtons greatest
and almost only conspicuous and notable
factories are the government workshops
such as the bureau of engraving and print
Ing and the government printing office
WashingtOn's greatest business establish
ments. corresponding to solid blocks and
twenty-story sky-scrapers in the large COM
merctal cities, are the government depart
ments. with their thousands of employees
These factories and these business estab-
ishmeuts cut no figure in Washington's tax
statistics for they are within the nominally
exempted half of the capital which belongs
to the nation.
In order that the per capita comparisons
may be made on a just basis either the ma
tion should be treated as a Washington
taxpayer and its property be included in the
citys tax assessments, with the result of
doubling Washington's tax figures. or prop
erty corresponding TO the exempted national
holdings should be deducted from the as
sessments of the cities with which COM
parison IS to be made.
How ridiculousy low would be the as
sessed valuation of any of these CONNER
cial and manufacturing cities II its list of
taxable property was thus treated. and
there were stricken therefrom it's principal
factories and business establishments How
quickly would the people of any of these
cities perceive and complain that their
assessment valuation was excessive IL after
such eliminations their city's tax valuation
was greater than that of some equally pop
ulous neighbor, whose tax list had not been
thus curtailed. Washington's assessed half
lacks the indicated important factors of a
business city's valuation which cut so large
figure IN the assessment of these other

From the Chicago Tribune.

If the high price of beef is due to the
scarcity Of cattle, and II 1t Is for the pub
lie interest that there should be more cattle
in order that the price of beef may be
lowered, Congress may deem 1t expedient
to take off temporarily the duty on cattle.
There is a duty Of 1918 head on cattle
worth not more than $14 a head. and of
27h per cent on cattle valued at a higher
price. The repeal Of the duty would bring

ness" as Thomas B. Reed would say, on

reciprocity lines?
There need be no surprise that the time
has arrived, and fun ripe. for q change In
some of the schedules Of the Dingley tariff
law. The Mckinley tariff law was enacted
in 1890. Seven years later, when a repub-
lican House under Mr.. Dingley's leadership
undertook a revision Of the tariff, 1t was
found that the country had outgrown the
Mckinley schedules. There was no thought
whatever Of returning to them. And yet
during half of that time the industries of
the country had been hampered by the
Gorman-W Wilson makeshift. Five years have
elapsed since the Dingley law was passed;
and they have been the most fruitful years
the country has ever known. We are sell
Ing In markets but recently acquired. and in
larger quantities than ever before in mar
kets long known to US. Everything In
deed, is booming with US. Necessarily,
therefore. some Of the Dingiey schedules
have outlived their usefulness; and the rem
edy must be both by reciprocity and by low
erfng rates, as Mr.. Mckinley advised at
Buffalo.
That this work should be done by the
friends of protection Is a safe contention.
Protection. wisely applied. is all that its
friends claim for it. But the work is press
Ing, and If not by the republicans 1t will be
performed by others. The democracy just
now Is centering its attention on scuttle
1t hopes to win on that. But If it should, 1t
Will be certain to address itself also to
tarin revision. 1t would be likely in office.
indeed, to put that before scuttle in the
matter OF legislation. Mr.. Cleveland in 1892
was elected on the tariff issue, but he put
the silver issue first in addressing Con-
gress.

Easy Fishing.

There is a fish that frequents in
large numbers the shallow seas of
the shores ON northwest America
from San Francisco to Sitka that
loses its life through leaping too
readily. Whenever it is alarmed 1t
bounds out of the water. Now,
there are few better students OF ma
ture than the Indians of the Pacific
coast, who take advantage OF this
foolish habit to get food without
working hard for it. When they
see the great shoals of fishes swim
ming near the surface of the wa
ter, they get out their canoes and
beat the water with the paddles, ut
tering hideous yells the while. Ter
rifed out of their small wits, the
fishes jump up into the air and fall
into the canoes by the hundred
The Indians also capture them by
the net and spear.

A NorthIand Story Of How the Robin
Got a Red Breast.

A NorthIand Story of How the Robin
Got Red Breast.
A long, long time ago there was
only one fire in the northland, for at
that time there were no matches.
In the northland there lived a
polar bear, and he thought when
the man that took care Of the fire
and his son died he could have the
northland all to himself, because
when the fire was out the people
would all freeze.
At last the man got very i'll, and
his son had to take care of him and
also tend to the fire. But at last
the son got so tired that he could
not tend to the fire. This was what
the polar bear was waiting for, so ne
went up to the fire and gave it a
knock with his wet paw, and ne
kept slapping it until he thought
that the fire was out.
A gray robin was flying that way,
and, hunting about among the ash
es, she found a little spark OF fire
that the bear had not put out. Then
she flew down and famed it till the
red fire was ablaze again.
1t took her quite a long time to
get the fire blazing again, and while
she was getting the fire to go her
breast was scorched red by the heat
of the fire, and that is the story OF
how the robin got her red breast.
