the criminality Of some of the defend

ITS WORST

Denver Post: Don't you know the
Colorado legislature is on the bargain
counter, ~biennially, just as strong as
the Massachusetts legislature that
Thomas w. Lawson writes about?'
asks a correspondent. 3
Yes, we know it..
1t is a general habit of legislatures
to be for sale, and the Colorado ar
ticle is not better or worse than
others. And the people know it, too.
The worst feature of the thing is that
ii is regarded, popularity, as inevitable
and regular-that is to say, the peo-
pie don't know any way to get honest
legislatures and expect exactly what
they get.
The worst feature of American gov
eminent is forty-fve corrupt state as
semblies. The very nature OF the
legislature tempts members to be
venal. 1t has ceased to be an honor
to go to the legislature; the nomina-
tons are made without care; the law
makers feel that they'll have the repu-
tation of being dishonest whether
they are straight or not; there is a
lot of costly drinking and costly gam
bling and the salaries amount to very
little. and, really, some of them argue
that when it's the custom to pay for
passing, or not passing bills, there'3
be money spent on both sides and, il
1t isn't taken, the lobbyists will be
| that much in pocket-therefore what's
the use of being prudish?
While the people in Russia are
| ciamoring for legislative rights, we.
in America, frankly regard our law
| making bodies as the worst feature OF
our government. Funny, isn't IT?
Can nothing be done about it? Yes
lii the first place, the legislatures are
too large. which ~depreciates the honor
and lowers the quality of the mem
bers. In the next place, a primary
law, which would force everybody
wishing to vote at the election, tf
go to the primary. would tend to check
the large proportion Of lawmakine
| skates. The best way to reform any
class Of Office holders to to make the
office honorable.

cember z, fresh from it's successful
run at the New York theatre. The
now famous Texas comic opera has
had a solid career of more than a
year, the piece having been in ~continu-
GUS service aver since April IL, 1903.
The principal claim for "The Tender
foot" is the novelty of it's theme and
background. Professor Zachary Petit
bone of Vermont is thrown in among
cowboys, rangers and all the other
rough-and-ready jokers of the south
western border, while on a visit to his
niece. The things that are supposed
to happen to a "~tenderfoot" supply
several comedy situations. The main
narrative is romantic and concerns
the love affair of the professors
neice with the colonel of the Texas
Rangers.
Texas, chosen for the first time as
the scene of a comic opera, abounds
in interesting material and character
studies. There is a gambler of the
Yuba Bill order, a ranch %Chinaman, A
fighting Itarson,, as we'll as Indians and

With the assured certainty that
their punishment will be no greater
than that melted out to the Iowa
swindler last week plenty of unscru-
pulous men may be found willing to
play the some game he did. Although
he robbed unsuspecting men and
women out of many thousands by
mean of a fraudulent mining scheme
a complacent Judge let him off with q
fine of a paltry few hundred dollars
and three months in the county Jail.
Without any desire to speak contemp-
tuously of the court that imposed the
punishment, such a sentence may be
regarded as an inducement to men OF
INSCRIPTIONS minds to practice dis
honesty on a large scale.

REMEDY FOR A NUISANCE.

Philadelphia Ledger: New York is
struggling in vain with the billboards,.
advertising signs, p%lacards and three
sheet posters on the decorated tiles OF
it's subway. Having made the interior
OF the subway the best artistic
achievement in the ornamental treat
ment OF transportation yet accom-
plished, the metropolis, government
and public together, is aghast to find
that the offensive advertising, which
sLUawls over every landscape, is ruin
ing the site, ~obscuring the vision and
Having the artistic effect OF a great
cities ought to tax every square foot
One remedy, and only one, exists
for this e~vil-taxation. The billboards
and the poster are taxed in every Eu-
ropean country. 1t pays in proportion
to its size. English cities all levy a
tax per square foot fer every billboard
on which posters can be placed. Every
sign in the Metropolitan railroad III
London pays something to the public
ire asury.
This should be the case here. Our
cites ought to tax every square foot
which affronts the eye with poster
and placard. This would yield eve
nue.. 1t would also regulate a growing
4 evil. Gradually it would be seen that
the proper place to advertise is not
where a man is forced to look at the
advertisement, whether he chooses or
not, polluting the prospect, insulting
the eye ard often demoralizing pub
lie morals, but In a newspaper, where
a man pays for his advertisement
when he buys the newspaper and in
which a constant censorship is eXer-
cised.
Whatever the charter of the Inter
borough company may permit it to
do, if New York really wishes to re-
move the signs from the subway all
the municipality has to do is to tax
all posters wherever they appear
within the city limits. There is nc
reason why a man should not pay for
the privilege of putting a placard in
a common carrier advertising pickles.
or a three-sheet poster on either fence
or a subway, OF a railroad depot ad'

1t is a public franchise. It's value
depends upon the presence of the
public. Taxation would reduce the
evil and if it were heavy enough
would remove it altogether. In any
case the public treasury would be
benefited, public taste would be i'm
