The third objection was that the sections
in question 'exempts railroad property as
sessed by the State Board Of Equalization
from The payment OF its proportion Of
the taxes levied for the support Of the
county school district and city. appellants
in this action. and thereby violates the
rule Of uniformity prescribed by section !,
article tx Of the constitution" The court
holds that bridges. depots. water tanks and
other necessary structures along their
right-of-way are part of the railroad as
whole. and have no separate existence
from that Of the road. Apart from the
road the court holds a bridge is just so
much junk and to treat il as a separate
entity is TO take away its chief value.
Classification is Legal.
As 2 fourth objection II was argued that
the statute makes a classification not au-
thorized by the constitution. The court
holds the classification is made not by the
statute. but by the nature Of the subjects

fundamentally distinct and the legislature

operation many years and has been re-
adopted in the new revenue law and is
reasonably calculated 10 meet the problem

The other objections 10 the statute were
urged by counsel, who appeared as friends
Of the court. The first was that II operates
uneoually and unreasonably with respect
10 the railroad companies whose tracks are
situated wholly within county, such,
for example, as terminal and belt lire COM

The other objection was fhat the statute

A Republican Blast.

Even the most hide-bound Repub-
lican newspapers occasionally &C
knowledge the way the protective tar
iff plumbers the people for the benefit
of the protected trusts. Now the cleo
ton approaches and the Republican
platform and President Roosevelt have
both declared that protection must be
adhered to, the organs grind out the
same tunes.
The Chicago Inter Ocean is perhaps
the most intensely partisan and truly
loyal of all the Republican organs, yet
on Sept 10 last it evidently felt that
the G. o. P. must be stayed in its way
ward course of protecting the few at
the expense of the many or disaster to
the Republican party would be newt
able. The editorial referred to shows
that the Boosting of President Roose-
welt about our prosperity under Re
publican policies is only for a part of
the people, and that the majority are
getting worse off through the in
creased cost Of living The Democrats
have SO often proved these facts that
it is an old tale, and thought by many
to be exaggerated for partisan pur-
poses, but here comes the bitter, biting
blast from this organ of protection,
which in sane moment tells the truth
when it says:
Yet it may be doubted if one-half
the heads of American families are in
as favorable position as they were
in 1897. The third party-the major
ity who are neither capitalists nor able
to fortify themselves behind labor
union walls-is to-day giving more
proportionately than in 1897, while
getting only the same.
when capitalists combine to raise
prices, reduce expenses, or anticipate
profits it is this third party that pays
the higher prices, stands the reduction
of expenses, and converts the antici-
pated profits into actual ones"
1t is well to ponder on that and con-
slider whence it came, to thoroughly
understand the admissions of the enor-
nifty of the crime that the Republicans
have fastened on those of limited in
comes, and then further consider an
other paragraph from the same deliv-
erance:
''The plain truth is that fully one
half the workers of the United States
the men whose incomes are from
$500 to $1,000 a year, the men who
are neither in trusts nor labor unions.
have not been getting their share Of
the national prosperity. They ar
working for the prosperity of CAPT.
and organized labor, but no one
working for them. And under this
burden they are becoming exhausted"
That is as the Inter Ocean saws.
1.-The plain truth" But the men who
control the dominant party still shout.
LET well enough alone" Stand pat"
