The GAZETTE does not believe
with a number of newspapers of the
state that Frank B. Kellogg of ST.
Paul, by virtue of now being the at
torney of the Rockefeller interests
in this state, would violate any
trust reposed in him by the people,
or that his support of any particu-
lar candidate for Office would mean
that the candidate was tied up to
the interests which he represents.
On the contrary, it believes that if
Mr.. kellogg was elected or appoint
ed to an Office within the gift of the
people, he would represent them to
the best of his ability and look after
their interests as but very few men
in the state could.
Where the counties, states and
nation are at fault is in their failure
to provide for Sufficient salaries to
retain and.maintain in Office such
men as Mr.. kellogg. Corporations
pay them princely salaries to pro-
tect their legal interests. VIII

GEORGE TURNER
D0DGES TAXES

Mr.. Turner has been proclaiming
all through this campaign that the
railroads Of this state should have
their roadbeds assessed for the pur-
poses Of taxation at the rate Of $685.
900 q mile. Mr.. Turner is himself q
railroad man. and. as he has stated
publicly, he and his brother own q
little "jerk-water" railroad In Mon
tanan, which IL operated under lease
to the Northern Pacific railroad. As
Mr.. Turner has given his estimate of
the rate at which other railroads
should be assessed. the Post-Intelli-
gencer had curiosity enough to send
to Montana to learn at exactly what
rate Mr. Turner'S own road was as
sessed. Here is the situation:
The Yellowstone Park railroad, the
road In question. was assessed In
1908. on II miles Of main track. at
s1s,7bs. or 1850 per mile. and on one
mile Of sidetrack at slSs a mile. The
total tax paid was S361.B1. For 190<
the road Is assessed at $1s.700. or s5s
less than last year. Can Mr.. Turner
kindly explain why 1890 a mile Is a
fair rate Of assessment for railroad
property In Montana which he owns,
and Ave times that amount per mile
is an outrageous underestimate Of
the value of railroad property in
Washington which he does not own
Is not Mr.. Turner somewhat of q
champion tax-dodger himself?
In his various speeches Mr.. Turner
has insisted that the property own
ers of this state are assessed at "a
per cent of the value of their prop
erty. while the railroads are assessed
Mt but a fraction of the value Of their
property. Particularly does he assert
that this Is true In his city Of Spo-
kane.
In the Post-Intelligencer of Sunday
last a picture was printed. showing
Mr.. Turner's magnificent mansion at
Spokane. q building which cost near
ly 10000 to build. without mention
ing the value Of the land. II IL such
a mansion. as would make suitable
and elegant home for a millionaire
In any part Of the country. The valu.
alton placed upon this magnificent
property for assessment purposes !.
$4,000. Mr.. Turner IL among the
wealthiest citizens Of this state. YET
the total valuation Of his personal
property. including stocks. bonds
money, furniture and the like is but
a triie In excess OF $4,000. as re-
turned by the Spokane assessor, ant
$4,000 Of that was found by the as
SCISSOR and not returned by Mr.. Turn
er. This IL probably less than one
half Of Mr.. Turner'S yearly incom,
from his investments.
Did Mr. Turner ever hear Of tn,
proverb OF the mote and the beam
He Is strongly favorable to the estab
lishmsnt Of railroad commission
in order to cinch the railroads an,
compel them to pay larger proper
tionate amount OF taxes, but he ha,
not a word to say in favor of the re
publican proposition to establish
tax commission. one duty OF whicl
will be to see that the property o
millionaires is assessed on the sam
basis as the property Of humble hom
owners, and that the enormou
amounts Of personal property owne,
by such wealthy citizens as Mr.. Turn
er find places on the assessment roll
as they do not now.--Post Intelii

The tragedy Of life IL contained
in the closing statements Of the sur
geons who, this morning, examined
Olaf Fernstrom. Swede miner, for
insanity. Likewise those impartial
statements Of cold facts give in brief
the fearful results of two years OF
persecution of a nonunion man by
members Of the unions.
Because Of these prosecutions by
the unions a wife and three children
are made worse than widowed and
orphaned. They are thrown out upon
the cold world to make precarious
living for themselves while the hus-
band and father Is on his way to the
danger ward Of an insane asylum.
Two years ago Olaf Fernstrom was
happy husband and father. He was
a good workman and his services AZ
a miner were In demand. So highly
was he regarded that his pay was
larger than the pay Of other miners
among whom he worked. His wife
was well housed and clothed. his chill
