burden is placed on the farmers. Sun.
pose direct tax should be levied to
pay on the cost of the militia how
much do you suppose each farmer of
La Plata county would be called on to
pay. We say not quite one dollar each.
In fact. If any of our farmers have prom
erty upon which they have TO pay $50
year taxes for general purposes and
their proportion of the militia indebt-
edness was added in a lump il would
only increase his taxes s3.25. If pro
lection in times OF anarchy is not
worth this much to vested interests
then we are greatly mistaken regard
Ing the honest views of the average
citizen. But the farmers tax will not
be Increased one cent in direct way.
The cost of the insurrection OF the
Meyer forces will be paid by floating
bonds. The interest on these bonds. II
made a special assessment, would>
only increase farmers tax, one who
pays $50. 25 cents. and the farmer
who pays 500 would have his burden

Labor Unions for Parker.

That organized labor Is giving care
full consideration to the issues OF the
campaign and is inclined TO give
strong support to Parker and Davis
is indicated by the great demand
which labor unions have made for
literature bearing upon the attitude
of the democratic party toward Or
ganized labor and the trusts, and for
pamphlets published by the national
committee, containing verbatim re-
ports of decisions In labor union cases
rendered by Judge Parker, as chief
Justice OF the New York court OF APP
peals.
That a comparison Of that attitude
and of Judge Parker's decisions
with the record of the republican
party and its candidate for the presi-
dency, is bearing good fruit is shown
by the recent action Of the labor par
~ In Montana. in formally endorsing
the democratic national ticket, by
the unexpected movement among Ia
boz unions In Pennsylvania TO break
away from the republican parry, and
oy reports from other states that Ike
action will be taken by labor organi-
zations In Montana there is CON-
pact political party composed enurel,
OF union labor men, which has al
ready proved its right to be reckoned
among the powerful facto In locsI
politics; ii is this organization
which has voted to give its undivided
