There is one truth that seems beyond
the comprehension of the Democracy,

giant of 1904.

The platform on which Theodore
Roosevelt stunds reiterates the time

of fostering home Industries In order
that American workmen may be steadily

to any tariff that will protect American
industries.

No matter how Democratic platforms
may try to whitewash or sugar-coat the
position of the party on the tariff ques-
ton, its real object is always the de-
struction of the protective system. which
is the principal safeguard of American
industries, labor and wages.

TAX ALL FRANCHISES.
Judge Bailey Declares Revenue
Law is Valid.

Franchises Of quasi public corpora.
tions are taxable under thesnew rev.
enue law according to Judge NJ s.
Bailey Of Fremont county. Judge
Bailey in his opinion in the case of
states that the present reyeuuc law 10
valid 80 far a. it places q tax on the
franchises OF the corporation. This
is the first decision that has been Civ
en- on the subject since the new 1902
revenue law went into effect.
The decision was upon 3 supple
mental petition in the receivership OF
the corporation, This petition was
filed by the county treasurer to com.
pei the company to pay its taxes for
the year 1902. The amount which 1t
was alleged the corporation owed the
county WAS s65, 900. This included
the tax upon the franchise of the com
pany. The corporation refused to pay
this amount.
II the decision of Judge Bailey is
left undisturbed the Denver Gas and
Electric company will have to pay
back taxes to the county amounting to
more than $4,000.
The corporation set up three rea-
sons why the money should not be paid
to tha county. First. franchises are
not taxable; second, the assessment Of
the corporation was made out by the
assessor himself and it should have
been made by the corporation. and.
third, that the assessment was ex
cessive.
Judge Bailey states in the opinion
received that ne has not sufficiently
considered the case relative to the taxe
prior to 1902 to give an opinion il
that matter.
The taxes Of q number of corpora
tions owning franchises have beel
paid by them under protest for severs
years in the hope that the law deslal
ing franchises taxable would be dc
} clared unconstitutional.

and 1t is stated by japanese officials
who recently returned to Gensan from

refuse to work for the Russians are
fogged and otherwise illtreated.
Tho government is of the opinion it
cannot act in the matter unless ap-
pealed to directly by those misused
by the Russians, and as no such petit
tions have been received nothing will
be done for the present.

BLACK SEA FLEET
ITS PASSAGE OF THE DARDANEL.
LES WOULD SURELY
CAUSE TROUBLE.

London, Nov. 5.-The report pub
lished in the Daily Mail from Malta
that Russia intends to have
her Black sea feet join the Baltic
squadron in Suda Bay, Island OF
Crete, is not generally credited, but
those who are prone to believe any
thing and everything peridious OF
Russia, say that, If this is really her
intention this unprecedented viola
tion of the Geneva treaty will stagger
the civilized world and that Great
Britain could not do otherwise than
declare war.
The provision of the treaty provid-
ing that the ships of a belligerent
shall not pass the Dardanelles without
the consent of all the signatories is
distinct and not capable of ambiguous
Interpretation. Great Britain being
one of the signatories. her consent
would have to be sought and there is
every reason to believe that 1t would
be refused. both on the ground that
her treaty with Japan does not permit
her to aid Russia in any manner and
secondly because of the logger bank
affair which should preclude the pos
sibility of Russia asking favors of the
British government.
