Fire Marshal John C.. Bebb left Sat

he will represent the Lewistown de-
partment at the meeting Of the State

MILLIONS FROM CORPORATIONS.

"A conspiracy with the corporations
At the expense of the pc ple." 10 one OF
Jchnson's favorite charges against the
Republican party. In fact 1t is the
third of the three principles he is
making paramount in the prs MT
campaign. How truthful the charge is
shown by the fact that the Republi-
cans enacted against the united Dem
ocratic opposition. led by johnson
himself. the laws in the last lesisla-
ture which put upon corporations over
50. 3.O00, 900 in new and special taxes.
thus relieving the general taxpaye Q
of that sum annually. Johnson de-
clared. as echoed the other Democrats.
that these laws would prove a failure.
instead they are bringing better re-
suits than was promised. They were
not the only Republican laws along
this line. In the year before their en-
actment. that is the fiscal year of 1901.
various other revenue producing laws
devised and enacted by Republicans,
yielded to the state sl765.55S. This
was not all from corporations, but
much of il was. SO that the grand ag-
gregate of special taxes assessed upon
corporations alone by the Republicans
makes an absolutely complete reply TO
Johnson's accusations.

The Rogers law was subjected to the
severest criticism and the most thor
ough discussion at the time when IL
was passed. IL received the special
attention of Hon. John w. Heron.
then senator from Cincinnati, and
Hon. James r. Garfield. a senator
from his district 1t would be diff

or more capable of dealing with such
subject. They heard and appre-
