VIRGINS FERRY ATTORNEYS
ASK FOR TAX REDUCTION.
dered by County Treasurer
Amounting to About 100000.

Attorneys Tor the Virgins Ferry Com
pan Yesterday argued before the ST. Clair
County Board Of Review. which is in ses-
sion in East St Louis. for a reduction of
their assessment 20 the figures Of City
Assessor Walter J. Brolerick. which we're
given 4 blanket raise by County Treasurer
Phillip Wolf. Tho reduction in the assess
ment asked for was not figured closely
yesterday, hut will amount to about $780,
eco The Board of Review took the case
under adyisement and announced hat a
decision would be rendered Friday.
Much interest il taken in the attempt Of
the Virgins Ferry Company to have its
assessment reduced to the figures returned
hy thN local assessor. Other large cor
iordtlons have been raised in n similar
manner by the County Treasurer. who has
this authority as Supervisor OF Assessors
and Assessments. Several of the very
latge property owners OF East St. Louis
were also given raises over the local
Assessors figures.
The principal argument OF the Virgins
Ferry Company attorneys was that the
assessment on 3leir property has been
practically unchanged for the last four
years, and they did not think the blanket
raise was equitable.

sUevERsIvE OF DEMOCRACY.
Johnson Platform Violates Fundamen-
tai Principles of the Party.

johnson Platform Violates Fundamen-
tai Principles of the Party.
Another among the many things in
the Johnson Democratic platform
which are not Democratic and are not
binding upon anybody as Democrat,
is its vehement demand for the elec-
ton of United States senators by d.
rect vote Of the people. This is no
new thing. although paraded by John
son and his man Clarke as a remark
able discovery. 1t has been before
congress for years, and some of the
strongest opposition to it has come
from the strongest Democrats in both
house and senate.
In the recent session the question
was before the senate committee on
elections, where ii was blocked by
Democrats because II was not Demo
cratic according to their conservative
views Senators Pettus of Alabama
and Blackburn of Kentucky used their
utmost endeavors against II. other
Democratic leaders aided them in this
opposition. What could Clarke do in
its behalf with his puny efforts?
The argument used by those deter
mined to defeat any change in the
present methods was substantially
the same as has been frequently ex.
pressed by the leading Democratic pa
per OF Ohio. the Cincinnati Enquirer
| Nothing In the constitution Is
stronger than the provision for per
manent statehood" says the Enquirer
and nothing could be more Demo
cratic than this statement. 1t goes
on to say that there has been nc
more heretical attack upon that Idea
than the proposition to elect senators
just as representatives are elected"
AS this doctrine here indicated BY
the Enquirer underlies the entir,
Democratic position, 1t will be seer
how completely subversive OF al
Democratic principles of the past Il
this particular plank of the johnson
platform. Masquerade as he may a
a Democrat, Johnson Is only using th'
old party's name for his own purposes
and no Democrat is under the leas
obligation to do anything that John
soa asks to have done.

MERE CHILDISHNESS'
To Protect Our Own People.

"Whst our American labor needs Is
freedom, the same kind Of free trade
between the nations Of the world that
we have between the forty-four
states.r
This sentence. spoken by Tom L.
johnson at Xenia during the present
campaign. shows that he stands Just
where he did against all protection for
American Industries, when he offered
his bill in congress to sell the custom
houses and wipe out all the tariff du-
ties. even for revenue only" and that
other bill, as part Of 1t. to raise all
revenues by the single land tax. Mr..
Johnson went even further in his
Xenia speech. From opposing any
kind Of protection for American indus
tries he has now progressed to oppos-
ing any kind of protection for Ameri-
can labor His own words were these:
Senator Hanna believes IL Is nee
essary In this country that we should
protect ourselves from the pauper
labor of Europe. This Is sociaIistie." /"
No Socialist would recognize II as
such, but however that may be Sen
ator Hanna has reason to be proud
of his position, and in II he well de-
serves the support Of every wage
Garner who wants to live as an Amer
lean among Americans. Johnson ex-
pressed his same atrocious sentiment
even more strongly at Springfield,
saying:
81 believe that II Is socialism on the
part OF Senator Hanna when he tries
to protect our people against the pau
per Iaborers Of Europe. think IL ID
mere chiidishness."
What do you think of that, wage.
earners OF Ohio? With one accord
whether in labor unions or not, you
have called upon Congress to put up
the bars and to protect you agaist
'the pauper labor Of Europe" Public
opinion has been practically united
In support of the laws for the purpose
particularly those to regulate immi
grafton. Mere childishness," all OF
II now says Tom Johnson. He be
lieves II. too. It tallies exactly with
all that he has ever said and done
What will you do to him in Novem
ber?
