No Virtue in Removing the War
Tax.

Republican leaders boast of the removal OF
the tax levied to carry on the war against
Spain. Although the appropriations OF a
proAigate Republican Congress were i'm
mense, the war tax was piling up surpluses
in the treasury. There was no virtue, then,
ia repeating taxes not needed fora war that
had ceased. But the high tariff rates have
not been touched and excess of revenue IS
predicted for the present fiscal year. And a
Republican Congress will not revise tariff
taxation The rather, ways will be found to
spend the money in order to save the protec-
tive rates to satisfy the Trusts and Combines
which contribute the funds to carry on Re
publican campaigns. More ships for the
navy will be projected, more river and harbor
improvements, more public buildings and
various ways will be found to prevent sur
plus. A Two Billion Dollar Congress may
be expected should the Republican party be
continued in power, but no revision of tariff
taxation which fosters Trusts, which in turn
lay tribute upon the people by exacting ex-
cessive profits on their productions.

New Windsor District Road Tax.

For the Democratic Advocate.
We notice that the Road Commissioners
have raised our road tax to 10 cents. We
don't see why this should be when at the very
beginning of the new road system, the roads
were in so much worse condition than they
have ever been since. When Carlisle, Nc
Kinstry and Buckley took charge Of them,
bought two new road machines, put in SO new
bridge and culverts, opened new piece of
road, graded three hills and spent over 5000
on piece of turnpike, did this and paid for
it in addition to going over all the roads in
the district with the regular cents tax.
Now Barnes, Haines and Franklin, after
running it few years, have raised the taxes
to 10 cents, when our taxes should be de-
creased instead of being increased, it is an
imposition upon the tax payers of the district.
Just think of the heaviest work being done at
a low rate of taxes, and now when it should
be lighter each year the taxes are being
raised. Isly the regular 8 cents tax furnishes
plenty of money to run the roads all over the
district if properly handled.

President Roosevelt's plan of restraining
Trusts is not in accord with Western Republi-

this is the sensible way to prevent extortion
by the Trusts upon the people.
