Governor Dockery in a recen

Governor Dockery in recent
interview in the Post-Dispatch
says: ''Thc brutal, vicious assaults
upon the integrity of the state,
false as they are, have hurt the
state immeasurably." OF course
the Governor had reference to the
criticism by the Republican press
of the ring methods at Jefferson
City. What are these false accus-
ations? 1t is charged by the Re-
publicans that the party in power
in Missouri has made illegal use of
the state school funds; admitted by
the Democrats in their pending
amendment to the constitution
asking the voters to legalizc this
transaction. 1t is charged that the
corporations bought off legislation
inimicalt to their interests in adj
vance by making liberal contribn-
tions to the Democratic campaign
fund; admitted, practically, by
Secretary of State Sam b. Cook
in his deposition in the Cardwel!
case. 1t is charged that the state
debt should have been paid eff
years ago with the funds secured
from the tax Of 10 cents on the
800, levied especially for that
purpose; admitted by the Dock cry
Allen financial exhibit. These are
only few of the "vicious as
saults" upon the state. They do
not hurt the state so much as they
hurt the gang of ringstcrs who
imagine they are the state. If the
latter are knocked ont entirely by
them the state would be immense
ly better off.

State Taxes.

This is the second year of the
operation of the Ford franchise
taxing law in New York, and ow-
ing to the large increase in the
revenue which it has already
brought, the state tax is now re-
duced almost to the point of disap-
pearance. 1t was the theory of
the republicans of New York,
who drafted and adopted the Ford
law, that it should be so construct
ed that, though the constantly in
creasing revenue it afforded from
the assessment of corporations,
upon their franchises as we'll as
their tangible properties, the state
tax could, in a few years, be abol-
ished ON all other forms Of pro-
perty. Doubtless, when this con-
dition is reached, as it will be in a
few years, the corporations paying
all the expenses Of the state gov
ernment will be released from the
payment of more local taxes in New
York. Pennsylvania, in fact, has
for nearly twenty years collected
all of her state revenues from pub
lie service corporations. assessing
| them both upon their tangible

property and the cash value of their
franchises. 1t is Il condition emf
nently satisfactory to the people
of the state taken as whole, and
everywhere, it may be said, out
side of the two great railroad ter
minaIs of Philadelphia and Pitts
burg, where the local taxes pre-
viously paid by these corporations
are sadly missed by ward states
men.
Although the proposition for a
franchise tax was loudly heralded
by Dockery and his claquers as a
new departure, franchise taxation
ceased to be experimental early in
the last quarter of the nine
teenth century. There was no
reason why, when Missouri came
to adopt franchise tax law, it
should have adopted one which the
supreme court has just declared in
operative to compel the state board
of equalization to assess franchises
at their cash value. The expert
ence Of Pennsylvania, New York
and other states could have been
consulted in making the law, but
Governor Dockery, acting under
the advice of Judge Priest and
other corporation lawyers and
lobbyists, refusing to model the
measure on thelines Of any of those
which had been found to give the
most satisfactory results. Con
sulting only the interests Of the
franchise corporation lobby, he

Now that Senator Farris has in
structed delegates enough to insure
his denomination when the Demo-
cratic senatorial convention meets,
the Independent, and, likewise,
the Salem Monitor, are preparing
to swallow nauseous dose. With
these papers the principles of hon
esty will be subjugated to the
demands Of party necessity, and
the ''willing tool of the lobby
and "Johnny Boodle," as they
have respectively styled Senator
Farris, becomes acceptable to them
to them because he wears the halo
of Democratic preferment. Much
has lately been said by the Demo-
cratic press of the state on the
necessity Of cleaning out the lobby
at Jefferson City. 1t pretended
that the dominant party was the
only one which could undertake
the puritication of the legisla-
turc with any hope of success.
The people were led to believe that
the party had marked such Demo
cratic senator's and representatives
who had shown themselves suscep-
tible to lobby influence were to be
retired at the primaries. Yet il
has already become certain that
the ''big three" Senators Farris,
Orchard and Morton, who blocked
all legislation detrimental TO the
interests Of their owners, the lob.
by, during the last general assem-
bly,, will all be renominated. The
records of these three men are most
unsavory, but since they are again
to become the choice of the party
condonement is being asked fol
their conduct on the grounds that

to elect them than any Republican

"SCared NIGH Unto Death.'

The state house gang at ,Ietfer-
son City is scared almost to death
about the proposed amendment to
the state constitution. The mem
bers of it are very desirous that it
should be adopted, chiefly because
they know if it fails their party
will he brought face to face with
its violation of the constitution.
when the bonded debt proper is
paid, which will be done within the
next year, the interest tax must
cease. If the amendment fails to
carry, the Democrats will wake up
to the fact that they have made Il
'iudicious investment of the school
funds by using it to pay other OBJ
legations that should have been
liquidated years ago, and have no
legal authority to continue to tax
the people for interest on indebt-
edness of this nature. The aver
age voter views all amendments to
the state constitution with cOnsid-
cradle suspicion, and the one to be
confronted in November will re-
ceive due attention. 1t will at
least be amusing to watch the
pushers and fixers squirm when
the voters say NO by a healthy
majority.-St. Clair County Re-
publican.
