Congressman Davis Of the third district
says that every man on the Minnesota
delegation in congress is for tariff revision
with the possible exception of Mr.. Nc
Cleary. If Mr.. McCleary has been SLAM
dered he can speak for himself, tho in
view Of his attitude in his last campaign
he is generally thought Of as stand
patter.'' Mr.. Davis says that there will
be some tariff revision at the next session
or. there will be trouble, If he has to start
the riot himself. If the delegation is cor
rectly represented by Mr.. Davis it is
more nearly in line with the sentiment Of
the state than the platform of the last
state convention. It is fortunate that the
national convention will make it unneces-
sary for the republicans Of the state to ge

liverance.

SONNY BUNNY RABBIT AND THE

and Sonny Bunny stopped to look at him,
and admire him, and be thankful to him
for taking notice Of a little gray rabbit.
Now,sif Sonny Bunny had ever read the
story Of Red Riding Hood, or had 1t told
to him., he would have known just what
was coming. But he hadn't; so he sat up
on his hind legs and wrinkled his little
pink nose, and twinkled his long ears

An Issue at Last.

Mr.. Dunn seems to have found an
issue on which to base his candidacy
for governor. In his speech to
Third ward republicans last evening
he announced that the only issue Of
the campaign was the question of
taxation. He declared in favor Of
equal taxation, and Of a gross earn
ings tax on public service corpora
tons.
This declaration sounds a good deal
like some party platforms. It is
broad enough to hold everybody.
Everybody wants equal taxation" in
theory, and it is only when a definite
program is to be mapped out that the
disagreement begins.
Mr.. Dunn has not been signally sue
cessful in working out practical plans.
It is matter of recent history that he
agitated for the appointment of a tax
commission and an extra session Of
the legislature, that when the commits
and declared it should be adopted
without changing a line; that before
a month had elapsed he was opposing
an extra session to which the gov
ernor, the legislature and the party
were pledged, and that when the legis-
lature met he spoke and lobbied
against the code at every stage. Mr..
Dunn says the ''tax dodgers are
against him. That was the plea made
two years ago by James A. Peterson,
Mr.. Dunn's local manager, when he
ran for congress. Mr.. Peterson sup
ported that tax code in the. legislature,
and Mr.. Dunn opposed 1t, Joining
hands with the people Mr.. Peterson
called tax dodgers Now they are
on the same platform, asking for the
support of the people because they are
fighting the tax dodgers on the
platform.
Excuse us while we smile.
The one point on which Mr.. Dunn
becomes specific is the gross earnings
tax on public service corporations
/ Opinion is divided as to the benefits
Of such system. It is simple and
easy of collection like the railroad
gross earnings tax, but street railways
gas companies and the like should
pay d. HlSHSr rate imam steam rail-
ways, as their franchises are more
valuable. It will be just as hard to
fix fair rate as it is now to fix fair
assessment. However, on this poin,
Mr.. Dunn agrees with the representa-
tives Of the corporations, who are all
in favor Of the gross earnings tax and
worked hard to get such provision
inserted in our state constitution. He
will not have a very strenuous wa1
with the public service corporations or
this issue.
Neither will Mr.. Dunn be able to get
an argument with his rival candidates
for governor about equal taxation"
they will have no quarrel with him or
that platform.
1t will be noticed, OF course, tina
Mr.. Dunn stands by his statement.

Bourke Cochran seems to be running
the democratic party just now. Bourke
made a couple Of speeches in congress
calculated to harass the republicans, and
he did make it exceedingly uncomfortable
for Mr.. Dalzell, but there was so much
rank free trade talk in those speeches
that they pretty nearly spoiled all that
Mr.. Williams had done to put the demo-
cratic party on moderate tariff plat
form. Now Cochran has printed these
speeches under the title Of 1.-THE Issue
of 1904" and is sending them broadcast
under his congressional frank. Nobody
was consulted, and Cochran has started
into make the issue all by himself. Well,
Parker won't say word, and with a
man like Bourke standing around with
CAB to give away it isn't reasonable to
expect that he will hold in forever.

The lines are Tightening between Col

be fought out on present lines. Hennepin

strong hopes Of carrying it, but the friends
Of Judge Collins have canvassed the city

it is only question of getting the voters

After the political tinge given to the
meeting of the State Editorial association
last winter, the following comment from
Wheelock's Weekly of Fergus Falls, will
not be deemed out of place in this column:
The annual report of the Minnesota Edi-
torial association is at hand. It includes
the proceedings Of the thirty eighth an
nual meeting at Minneapolis last Febru-
airy, and an appendix gives detailed re-
port of the expenditures made In behalf
Of the association by the executive COM
mittee for the 1903 excursion to Washing
ton, D. c.. Vouchers for all of those ex-
peditures are on file in the secretary's
office. One item Of the statement is
worthy of note by editors. 1t reads as
follows: Deficit paid by the committee,
$92.' Those small fry newspaper writer's
who were last winter limiting at improper
expenditures on the part of the committee
should read this report over twice, and
then take off their hats and sit down and
write a: manly letter Of apology to the
committee. If they do. not feel quite man
ly enough for that course, they should at
| least publish a correction of their unfair
attacks on the most public-spirited and
Jealous executive committee the editorial

Enforcing the Law.

State Auditor Iverson has made a
record in collecting for timber tres-
pass, which makes r. G. Dunn's ex-
cuses for failing to enforce the law
look silly.
In defense Of Mr.. Dunn it Is claimed
that he collected s1S0,000 from tres.
passers in eight years. Tho trespass-
ing is supposed to be on the decrease.
Mr.. Iverson has collected over 100000
in less than sixteen months, record
which speaks volumes for the new
policy of protection for the state tim
Der lands.
policy is the first criminal
proceeding for trespass brought
under state laws, as far as
the records show The Indictment Of
John G. Patterson in Aitkin county
a few days ago marked a new era, and
will have q greater moral effect for
keeping freebooters off state lands
than any number of peaceful settle-
ments.
Patterson's lesson was severe one.
He pleaded guilty to the criminal
charge and paid 500 fine and costs.
In addition to that he lost his entire
winters work, for the state confiscated
all the logs he had banked, includ
ing 126, 900 feet which he had bought
from private parties and logged him
self. They were mingled with the
state logs, and the entire lot was
seized.
This may seem a harsh judgment,
considering the immunity trespassers
have enjoyed until now, but the state
has been lenient far too long.
Mr.. Iverson seems disposed to en-
force the provisions Of the law and
put a stop to the wasting Of state
| property If he adheres to this policy
trespass will become Insignificant
Public opinion will back the auditor
up, if he finds it necessary to push
some of the operators with "long az
handles to the limit Of the law.
