ssyo BLAME FOR HIGH TAXES.

The Linden Southwest presents
figures showing the large increase in
the state and county levy of 1902 over
those Of 1900. It finds that: 1.-The
total taxes levied by Iowa county
this year, including state and county
school taxes, is nearly fifty per cent
greater than in 1900. In that year
the total was $50 5l398; this year it
was $746l373. The state tax has
gone from sl74S0 80 in 1900 to s29,224..
81 this year. The county school tax
Che levy Of which is matter Of law
and not controlled by the county
board, bias mounted from $9,02i II tC
Sl7,5Sl. 96, an increase Of 1857 go. The
county tax proper has increased only
$500, and the need for that lies il
the fact of nearly $500 gone into
heating plant at the asylum"
Theorizing as to the causes of this
increase the Southwest seems to con
tradict itself, IN one sentence saying
Failure on the partof the Legislature
OF 1901 to reduce the rate of schOo
tax accounts for nearly all the in
crease of taxes in Iowa county
Then concluding, itsays: I'VE should
say that the state tax commission
is entitled to more than luoiety o
the blame" Now the tax commits
sion, having recommended a change
in the law that would have made
the state and county school tax th'
same as that of 1900, and the legisla
ture having failed TO act upon th'
recommendation it would seem thai
the commission should be held

Les US HAVE The TRUTH.

Chicago Inter Ocean: The rela-
tions into which & hard coal trust
permitted itself 10 get with its em-
ployes resulted in an industrial con
hict that threatened the nation with
the gravcst dangers, and il even yet
causing Inconvenience and hardship
to millions Of people.
Judged by It's results, public opin-
ion has already condemned the gem
eruI policy of the trust ia dealing
with its employees. But the Ameri-
can people are fair minded, and they
are willing to believe the coal trust
was not wholly responsible for the
recent conflict. If the trust could
prove, for example, that it has been
paying fair wages, rs it has always
coutended, then the public would be
convinced that the strike was for the
control Of m industry rather than
for the relief OF the miners.
So far, however, the efforts Of the
trust to prove this vital point in it's
case have had an unpleasant flavor
OF deceit What may he suspected
to be typical instance was disclosed
before the arbitration court on Wed.
nesday.
In obedience to the courts order
the Pennsylvania Coal company, u
member Of the trust, filed its pay rolls
FOR the last year. These showed that
two miners, each assisted by one la
borer, had received about $500 and
$liOO, respectively, for the years
work. OF course, $1,000 divided
among four men might properly be
called at least fair" wages for that
kind oG work.
But the two miners named We're

ties, dividing this amount We're not
merely four men, but from eight to
twelve, thus confirming Mr.. Mitch
