accomplished this by appearing before
Commissioner Brady and protesting
that her assessment was too small
The official, after recovering from his
establishment, raised the amount from
$4,000 to $4,000, making difference
of $40 in the levy. For several days
the commissioners have been busy,
listening to complaints of persons who
reside elsewhere and wished to swear

Therefore the officials were completely

onism to everything that Christ
taught. The doctrine Of economic
determinism" and the material con-
ceptiOn of history" are the very, OPP
posites of the teachings of Christ and
can never be brought in harmony with

preEely ridiculous it is to use such q

term Armenian Calvinism or Moham-
medan Christianity would not be
half SO ridiculous. II thing is Chris
tian, it cannot be socialism. The doc
trines of Marx are alone entitled to

the terms socialism and socialistic to
doctrines antagonistic TO the MARKHAM

TAX RAILROAD PASSES

A railroad pass is thing of value
and ought to be assessed like all other
values. Any assessor who fails to ask
among other questions whether the
taxpayer has pass, violates his oath
of Office to assess all property. Every
man when asked if he has \ pass who
refuses to answer or answers falsely,
commits crime and should be prose-
cuted. Let the assessors get after the
pass holders. They are bound by their
oaths to do 1t and If they don't, let
the other taxpayers get after the as
SCISSORS. Taxes are to be much heavier
in the future, That has been made
necessary by the enormous expendi-
ture OF republican legislatures. The
debts cannot be repudlated. There Is
no way to pay them except by in
creased taxation. Let all passes be
taxed, just as all other things of
value are taxed.

SURPRISED PLUrOCRArs

Nothing created greater surprise in
New York than to tell those provin-
Gals that Lincoln was the nineteenth
in the list OF titles Of this republic
in the payment of second-class post
age. That is to say that it sent out
from the postoffice here more papers,
magazines and books, than many
other cities three times its size. But
what will they think now? Postmaster
Sizer sends to this Office the following
startling statement:

THE POOR BANKER


Usually the socialist ignores the
whole subject of money and banking.
but in the March number of the Will
shire magazine Mr.. Wiltshire has the
following remarks on national banks:
would say that anybody can
start a national bank who has the
cash to start it with, subject TO
the regulations of the national
bank act. There is practically no
profit in circulation, which can
only be issued by buying bonds at
the present high market price.
Many banks are finding it pays
better to sell their bonds AMI re-
tire their circulation. There has
been great deal of rubbish writ
ten about the profits Of the ma
tional banks. AS matter of fact,
except for the advertisement OF
being a national bank, there is
more money for the banker in
private banking. There is not
, such mystery nor jobbing about
banking as some people think. l
have been in the game myself"
The Independent is somewhat sur
prised to hear this distinguished MEM
Der of the "prolateriat' talking in
that manner. 1t is the same old thing
that we have heard from the national
bankers for the last forty years. How
does it come that just about 1000 new
national banks have been established
during the last three Or four years, il
there is no money in the business?
The national bankers have today
about $174, 900 900 of government mon
ey deposited with them upon which
they are paying no interest and they
are getting interest on their bonds
deposited to secure circulation and
government deposits, on the money
deposited and the notes that they is
sue, all of which grating state
bank has no part in. Among many
things in socialism thai are counter
parts of republicanism, the poverty
stricken national banker stands prom
inent.

Governor Mickey, in signed ar
ticle, admits that he ordered four car
loads of Standard oil to be passed con-
trary to law; that he did it on the
request of the Standard Oil agent; that
he removed the inspector who re-
fused to violate the law and appointed
another inspector who would violate
the law, but denies that he appointed
the new inspector at the request of
the Standard Oil company. That
makes any other proof in regard to
Governor Mickey's action unnecessary.
He violated his oath of Office to en-
force the laws. He is certainly the
right sort OF man for a republican
governor and those republicans who
want him turned down should now
and forever hold their peace.

New YORK; contained the following
paragraph:
"Gloom-deep, purple gloom
pervades the stock brokers Offices
in Wall street just now, for there
is nothing doing and nobody to be
done. Customers are apparently
as scarce as honest men were in
the times of Diogenes, and it would
take an electric searchlight to
find a person in some of the big
Offices in the street. AS fol orders,
'hextra double magnifying mi
croscope' of the Sam Weller type
would be necessary to discover
them. The ticker for minutes at
time hardly moves at all, AMI
when it does register a sale OF
more than hundred shares every
brokers' manager who does net
recognize the transaction turns
green with envy"
The latest report gives the sale of
stocks at only 10000 shares. whereas
year ago there were 100000 shares
sold On the same day of the month.
Probably more than one-Ealf of the
$4,000 shares reported sold were fake
sales.
The truth is that five or six weeks
before any other paper published a
line on the subject, the readers of The
Independent knew all abou, the con-
ditions there. What The Independent
has said about the starvation, death
and disease in New York is just as
true as what ii said about the stock
exchange and after while. when the

WILL KEEP THE OONTRACr


WILL KEEP THE CONTRACT
1t is very evident from articles ap
pearing in republican dailies that the
political managers are going to keeI
the contract made with the Mormon
church If they can. While none Of
them s0~far, except the State Journal
have taken grounds in defense of the
vileness of the president Of the Nor
mon church, they are putting UP g
defense along other lines. The Omaha
Bee in discussing the investigation by
the senate says:
but in extending it SO as to
embrace an investigation of the
tenets of the Mormon church and
the practices of certain members
of that church who have nothing
whatever to do with the case of
Mr.. Smoot, it would seem that the
committee has gone beyond its
proper function. =. While 1t is
true that there are Mormons who
are polygamists, the church does
not now countenance plural mar
riages and SmoOt is in accord with
the church on this respect.
The committee on privileges and
elections has gone to an indis
Greet and wholly unnecessary ex-
tent in its investigation, the ten
dency of which may DE to create
in the country troublesome re-
ligiOus contention"
The Bee evidently believes that 9the
honest politician is the one that will
stay bought"
There is further evidence that tie
republican party means to play the
honest politician The Chicago
Tribune says:
"But shall a man be expelled
from the senate for no other rea-
son than that some of his religious
associates are addicted to immoral,
criminal practices?
That is also the tone of the great
eastern dailies. If there is not some
earnest efforts made to keep the bar
gain, the Mormons would likely tell
the whole story and give out the writ
ten documents, and that would be
very bad for the republican party.
