COUNTRY-W DEMAND.

"If our legislators are wise,' says
Congressman Lowering Of Massachu-
setts. they will not antagonize the
great growing sentiment in favor OF
tariff revision, whether it comes under
the head Of the Iowa idea or that older
and country wide demand that has
been forcing itself upon the attention
Of the party leaders for the last few
years"
Mr.. Lowering voices the general
commentary upon the policy Of the re-
publican party. Considered from the
mere polite or political standpoint
the party has erred in adopting an ex-
treme position which the average man
cannot indOrse. The conservative
pOliticaian, who is the best Judge, per
ceiyes the weakness Of a plan which
does not make some concession to the
peoples attitude.
Upon the revision question public
opinion has made itself clear. From
the press and from the platform the
weight Of expression is overwhelm
ingly on the side of revision. There
has been no division of expression
| within the past few years, except as tc
the extent of tariff repeal. During the
past twelve months the only great
| public question upon which there has
! been practical unanimity has beer
that of tariff revision.
Linked with the tariff in the public
mind are the trust evils. A popular
verdict relating solely to the tariff as
hindrance to trade and a means o.
| unnecessary and unjust extortior
would promptly declare for revision
the tariffs direct evils are ample tc
| condemn it. But when in addition its
| indirect operation and incidental evils
are perceived nation of voters is

to protect class interests including

have hewn straight to the line. The
course has been deliberately mapped.
If error is committed it is deliberate
error. The politicians have not mis-
judged the people, but have read truly
the extent and depth of revision SEN
timent. They had ample opportunity
to read it before the policy had been
determined upon. They simply came
to a parting Of the ways-it was a
the people, and the bosses chose the
former, preferring to chance the peo-
pies i'll will.
1t was not until the congressional
election of last year that the stand
pat policy fully manifested itself.
Prior to that time public opinion
seemed to be impressing itself upon
the nations policy. The people were
behind President Roosevelt. Popular
sentiment was urging him on. He
led great cutlery against the trusts
and against the tariff Suddenly, after
his championship had served a pur-
pose, he Topped to the side of the
privileged interests. Playing the peo-
pie into the trusts and the machine S
hands, he led the voters solidly to the

an abrupt stand with the enemy ap-
peals now to have been part of a pre-
arranged plan. 1t marked the inaug-

Between the republican bosses and

DEMAND FOR INCOME TAX.

The best feature of the Wilson tariff
law was the provision for an income
tax. which was annulled by the Unit
ed States supreme court by a vote of
5 to 4, after Judge Shiras for some
mysterious reason had changed his
mind
The great increase Of individual
fortunes in this country and the con-
centration of the wealth of the nation
into the hands of a few make the
need and the justice of such a tax
more manifest than ever before. The
democratic party should make the
demand for an income tax one of the
chief planks of the next national plat
form and keep up the agitation for
this system Of taxation until it is
made the law of the land. If the
United States supreme court should
again nullify the law in the interest
of the plutocrats, the campaign
should not cease until a constitutional
amendment has been adopted that
will place an income tax law beyond
the power of the United States su-
preme court to modest or annul.

GOOD SALE OF BONDS.

The state of Washington was the
only bidder for the Seattle municipal
light and water bonds a few days ago.
No competitor stood any show, as the
state offered to take the full issue of
100000 in bonds at par and to accept
go per cent interest. This was
SAT 600 better than any private firm
of bond buyers was willing to offer.
One eastern firm sent a letter offering
to take the bonds at 4 per cent inter-
est and a commission Of $4,000. This
offer was not deemed worthy Of a
reply.
Walla WalIas school board might
get a valuable hint from the expert
ence of Seattle. The bonds of School
District No. l are gilt edged and
should sell just as well as Seattle's
light and water bonds. 1t might be
possible under the new law to dis
pose of these bonds to the state.
Under no circumstances should the
bonds be sold at less than par nor
at a higher rate of interest than 4
per cent, and it might be possible to
do as well as was done with the
Seattle bonds.

MAYOR TOM JOHNSON
IS HARD Ar WORK
Preparing for the Democratic State
Convention in Ohio Next
Month.

Columbus, O., July 29.-It is an old
saying that politics in the Buckeye
state never approaches a state of
staganatiOn and that as election time
rolls around it is certain to reach the
boiling point. At the present time the
bubbling may be heard afar and spec
tacular politics of a lively variety may
be looked for from now until the
democratic state convention is held
next month. The democratic situation
is peculiar and politicians are on the
qui viye awaiting further develop
ments.
1t will be recalled that on the
Fourth of July Tom l.. Johnson was
the guest of Mr.. Bryan at Lincoln
Neb, and that Immediately following
his return TO Ohio the announcement
was made that Bryan would visi,
Ohio in August and attend ,he demo
cratic convention. This agreement
was reached at Lincoln after an all
day conference between Bryan and
Johnson, during which the latter Went
over the Ohio situation and explained
that tremendous effort would be
made to repudiate Organism and the
Kansas City platform by the socalled
conservative faction of the party.
Mr.. Bryan agreed to come to Ohio
20 warn the delegates against the dan
gers of Clevelandism, and any depaTt-
ure from the tenets of the Kansan
City platform. Not anly that, but il
is believed he will very likely insist
upon the nomination of Johnson as
the candidate for governor, in spite
of the fact that majority Of the del
egates may be pledged to John M
Zimmerman Of Springfield or some
other candidate. He will declare thai
United States senator must be in
dorsed. and probably put in a good
word for his old friend. former Con.
gresham John J. Lentz, who stands
for the Bryan wing of the democratic
party more than any other man in
Ohio With the Kansan City plat
form Endorsed, Johnson nominated fol
governor and Lentz Endorsed for Unit
ed States senator, Mr.. Bryan would
| certainly be in a position to congrat-
ulate himself, and the impetus given
his cause would be felt in every state
of the union.
In the meantime Mr.. Johnson is
htSplllS HIS own COuuSGl. 1t is sale
his closest friends do not know his
mind on the gubernatorial matter. The
only thing that is positively known is
that he is arranging a campaign that
will completely eclipse his circus ten,
affair of a year ago. He proposes
| among other things to employ a mum.
Der Of automobiles to carry stump
speakers and flood of literature over
the state.
Meanwhile the opposition element
is likewise preparing to take to the
field. The report from Washington
that soon after the return Of John R.
Mclean from Europe there will be a
conference of his friends to look over
the democratic situation in Ohio, If
true, means that the conservative
wing of the party, marshaled by Nc
Lean, proposes to make it's influence
felt in the coming convention, both as
to platform and candidates.
