What are the Issues?

What are the LaFollette tissues" which
it is said make it so important that he
be elected to third term to perpetuate!
Not the primary election law, for that
is to be voted on by the people this fall
and so is entirely out of the case 80 far
as election or defeat OF any candidate is
concerned.
Not the general issue Of taxation, for
that is in the hands of our costly ten
year commission, which will doubtless
have the best possible scheme perfected
and ready for submission to the next
legislature.
Not economy in public expenditures,
for the;LaFollette administration IS cost
ing 81 per cent annually more than any
which preceded it, while the increase IN
population and wealth is not 8 per cent.
Not efficiency in department admins
tration, for never before was there such
scandals as have been given justification
by the misconduct of officials in several
departments.
Then what tissues" are they which
LaFollette must be elected to preserve?
Not one good one, and the only one which
his most adroit advocates can name as
still being an tissue" is the claim that
there should be another expensive COM
mission appointed by the governor, to
have charge of freight rates. BY Jug
Cling figures the governor has produced
a list of deceptive tables showing the
Wisconsin shippers have to pay higher
rates on freight than shippers from
points equally distant from markets have
to pay in Iowa and Illinois. So it re-
suits that the only tissue" LaFollette
represents is an asserted injury which
the people of Wisconsin have not felt
that they were suffering, and which the
governor has abundantly shown he has
not the skill nor power to correct if it
really existed. Whitewater Register.

Oppose Reduction of Philippine ID,

Oppose Reduction of Philippine Duty.
A circular issued by the, National Ci-
gar Leaf Tobacco Association makes the
TO lowing appeal to domestic tobacco
growers:
"Recognizing in the official agitation
for further material reduction in the
duty on PHILIPPINE tobacco and cigars the
utmost serious menace that has ever
threatened the cigar and tobacco indus
try of this country, the National Cigar
Leaf Tobacco Association, of which [
have the honor to be president, is anx-
ious to take timely measures to prevent
either the institution of free trade with
the Philippines, Or considerable reduc-
tion in the present duty on Philippine
tobacco and it's products. The coming
Congressional elections afford the vari-
Gus Tobacco and Cigar Associations a
favorable opportunity of informing Con-
gressional candidates of the opinion of
our trade on this subject, and of per-
hap5 securing for such candidate
statement of what their course of action
will be when the question will come be-
fore congress.
IF you view the question of possible
free trade with the Philippines with the
same grave concern with which we re-
gard it, will you kindly write me an ex-
preston of opinion, and whether or no
YOU will cooperate with us in the plan
We have indicated. No financial expen-
diture will be involved in rendering US
assistance; it will simply require that
you and the members of your Associa-
ton bring their utmost Influence to bear
on the Congressional nominees of both
parties in their home districts to oppose
legislation harmful to the tobacco indus
try of this country.

tanning the assurance that you will work
with US earnestly and enthusiastically, I
am Yours Respectfully,

and support of the party. Permission
was given the anti-La Toilette attorneys
to bring the suit in equity for manda-
tory injunction upon the secretary of
state directing that the Cook ticket be
placed on the official ballot under the
republican electors. Mr. Houser was
given twinty days to answer the com
plant filed in court and September 9th
set as the date for the hearing, when the
court is expected to go into review of
the entire case and determine the legal
ity of the proceedings The voter will

More Taxes, More Tax Eaters.

Under the LaFollette administration
the term Republication of taxes" has
merely meant more taxes-the collection
of more money from any and every pos
sble source. No effort has been made
to keep expenditures at reasonable fig
ure. Taxation reform spells increased
revenue and increased revenue means
more money in the treasury; more money
in the treasury leads to more state en-
ployes; the more state employees the
more political workers. The end is that
the taxpayers get no relief, but addition
al burdens are heaped upon those who
can be made to pay.
1t is about time the people of Wiscon-
sin looked at this matter in a sane, COM
nonsense, businesslike manner for it is
matter Of business not of politics.
The state is in the position of a man who
is making strenuous efforts to increase
his income in order that he may have
more money to spend. Every consider
alton of economy is thrown to the four
winds. Appeal after appeal is made to
levy more taxes upon one class of tax
payers on the grounds that they are es-
Gaping their just proportion of the tax
burdens but no effort is made to relieve
any class from unjust burdens by hus-
banding the resources of the state and
administering its financial affairs with
strict economy.
Finally, the facts relating to the fnan-
cial condition of the state funds are hid
den. The books, records, and vouchers
in the vaults of the secretary of state are
guarded and citizens are not permitted
to examine them.- Milwaukee Sentinel.

THE people of Wisconsin would like to
see an accounting in the treasury depart
ment. Revelations made as the result
of this administration quarrel lead to
the belief that the interests of the tax
payers will be best subserved by thor
ough examination by competent &C
countants of all the financial transactions
of the department since the last report
was made. When a discrepancy of $4,000
can be uncovered by the examination Of
one account, including nothing but the
land sales, it is natural to suspect that IA
thorough investigation will disclose 9TH
er inaccuracies, errors IN bookkeeping or
discrepancies. At all events, the only
way in which the taxpayer can be as
sured that the accounts are all straight
is to have them investigated by some
disinterested person who is an expert in
accounting. milwaukee, Sentinel.

BETWEEN the strike of the meat han
dlers in the West, that'of the mill work
ers of Fall River, the laying off of thous-
ands of hands by the Pennsylvania,
Reading, Pullman and other com panies,
one would think the men who have jobs
would be glad to retain them, instead of
giving them up out of sentiment or
even an alleged grievance. More than
million dollars in wages are daily lost to
laboring people throughout the country
in this way The only result is to make
the poor laboring man still poorer. A
good deal of the want and misery in the
world comes along in just that way
Men give up what they have because
they cannot get what they want. The
road to neither happiness nor prosperity
lies along those lines.

RepubN an and Democratic Conventions

Compared.
Both conventions were held in halls
that were far too large. No national con-
vention should ever again assemble in a
hall that seats more than four thousand
or, at most, five thousand persons 1t
was cruel and unfair to subject such
cOnsumate orators as Mr.. Root and Sen
atOr Daniel to the throat -racking task of
trying to fill with their admirable voices
a huge barn lined with crowd restless
because it could hear nothing and see
little. The main contrast between the
conventions was this: the Republican
convention was presided over by Mr..
Root and by Speaker Cannon, success
sively; the Democratic convention was
presided over by the galleries from start
to finish. The galleries were packed to
sutfocation with an excited, disorderly
crowd, in which were an astonishingly
large number of rowdies from eighteen
to thirty years of age. This crowd took
command Of the convention when it was
opened and held it to the end. It con-
tributed a continuous flow of cheers,
misses, catcalls and Interruptions both
sacred aud profane. 1t voted cheerfully
whenever a question was determined
viva voce, and it could be counted upon
always to oppose an adjournment or a
recess. The disagreeable and disgrace
full situation appeared to be due primar-
ily to two causes, the bad arrangements
mace by the sergeant farms and the
evident inexperience of Mr.. John Sharp
Williams, of Missippi, as a presiding
officer. Ii Mr.. Williams had taken COM
mand os the convention at the outset and
been able to impress hispersonality upon
it, order might have been obtained and
held, But he was unable to do this, and
the galleries, having once tasted power,
rapidly passed hey Dad all possible con-
troll. From Review of Reviews

Milwaukee Chain of Stores Doubtful.

The representatives of the u. G. S. Co.
are believed to have receded in their eff
forts to secure foothold in Milwaukee
and have cancelled the lease of store on
East Water street, short distance south
OF Michigan street. The agents of the
building say that they know nothing
more about the matter than that they
had received notification that the com
pany would not want the quarters pre-
viously spoken for, but for which there
seems to have been no lease actually
drawn. 1t is also learned that quantity
of fixtures which arrived there some time
ago have been ordered shipped to Chi
cago, which would seem to indicate that
for the present at least, Milwaukee is to
be abandoned.
