MI. William Hubbar d, head OF the
tax commission, republican and a
very fine lawyer, and a member of
the compromise conference says the
new laws will increase taxes and he
ought to know better than the crew
of federal Office holders and Office
yseekers who are parading about tell
ing the people that their taxes will be
less. Henry G. Davis and John Holt,
both members of the state tax com
mission also say it will raise taxes.

Our Republican friends are cavort-
ing around and speaking in every
quarter of the county, explaining the
tax laws and telling all sorts OF stories
They cannot get away from these fact.
That it takes twice the money to run
the state government under Republic
can rule that 1t did under Democratic
rule. that that money must be paid into
the state treasury by the taxpayers.
that Dawson and White set out with
a geat sounding of trumpets with the
avowed idea of king the taxes off
the farmers and putting it on coal, oil
and gas, that there has been no tax
laid upon coal, oil and gas and tina,
the people must still pay it. These
facts remain and they may figure un.
til dooms day and they will never fig
ure out that the coal, oil and gas, the
weather OF the State pays the taxes
and not the farmer. The farmer can
not contribute to the campaign fund
and so he is to be buncoed.

The Republican organs keep reit-
Grating the assertion that the new tax
laws. while they do provide for the
assessment OF real estate at its full
value will finally result in the lower
ing of taxes. Admitting they say that
the assessments will be largely in
creased, the levy will be lowered SO
that no one will pay more taxes than
he is paying at present. That kind OF
argument sounds very plausible to
the citizen who has not had any ex-
perlence with bunco men, or to the
one who has never got thorough I'M
Outstanding of the inside workings OF
the big political machine that is ex-
plotting this state.
If the above kind of argument is
true, what was the use making any
change at all in our tax lawsf If the
assessments are to be put up and
the levies down so as to leave taxa
ton the same, what was the use OF
all this stir about an extra session OF
the legislature, and all the consequent
agitation OF the whole tax question?
To our minds this is one OF the
most fatal admissions that the fake
tax reformers make, and when it is
generally understood that the basis OF
taxation has been materially changed
real estate and visible property still
bearing the chief burden OF ia xation
has been materially changed. real es
tate and visible property still bearing
the chief burden of taxation, we do
not see what justification for all the
extra session of the Legislature can be
assigned by these gentlemen.
There is just so much taxes to be
raised, they say. and therefore the
valuation will have no influence upon
the amour to be paid. If this be
true then why all this to do about as
sessing property at its full selling
value? What reform has been accom-
plished by doubling the assessment
on farm, and cutting the levy in
half This looks like marching up
the hill and marching down again.
All this hair-splitting sophistry,
however, can be brushed away with
one hard fact. Governor White and
the state Republican machine in its
wild run of extravaganza found them
selves at the limit in the matter OF re-
sources, and they are foisting this
fake tax reform scheme upon the PEG.

RACIAL HATRED Is INTENSE

RACIAL HATRED is INTENSE

Rome, Nov. 6.--When Premier Clio
lett came into power a year ago he
found the relations between Italy and
Austria in a very disturbed condition
in consequence of the fact that anti
Austrian demonstrations had been toll
Grated by Signor Zanardelli, his prede-
cessor, who, it is alleged, winked at the
propaganda for the union with Italy
of the Italian provinces that are still
subject to Austria. Signor GiOletti
changed all this and assured Austria
she had nothing to fear from Italy. This
was publicly emphasized by the meet
ing at Abazzia in April last of SignOr
Tittoni. the Italian minister of foreign
affairs. and Count Goluchowski. the
Austrian chancellor. However, Aus
trials denial of the request of her TIA
liam subjects for a national university
at Trieste led up to the troubles at
Innsbruck which have endangered good
relation between the two governments.
Behind all other explanations of the
Innsbruck affair there is the racial
hatred between Italians and AustrO-
Germans in Italian provinces subject to
Austria, the latter element having vain
ly tried for five centuries to Gernanize
the provinces. AuStria's refusal TO es-
tablish an Italian faculty in the Uni
versity of Trieste has been attributed
TO the fear that il would result in the
university becoming the center of an
anti-Austrian propaganda but recently
it was decided to institute an Italian
faculty at the Innsbruck university.
This went into effect on Nov. 3, when
the rioting began. The disturbances, it
is alleged here, were provoked by ag-
gressions on the part of the Germans.
The cabinets of Vienna and Rome are
doing what they can to smooth over the
difficulty.

number, according TO indications.

st. Petersburg, Nov. e.--The army or
gan today publishes a long list of new
commanders in the far east, including
the appointment Of Generals Linevitch
and kaulbars TO the first and third ar
mics, respectively. Generals Kutnevich
and Selivanof will command the Twen-
ty-second and Thirty seventh divisions
OF the First corps, whose chief, General
MeyendOrff, is resingning on account ofc
All health. General Slouchevesky, COM
mander OF the Tenth corps, has also re-
signed, and IL is expected that he will
be succeeded by General Jzerpitsky.
The sweeping character of these
changes may imply that there is no in
tentIOn on General kuropatkinS part TO
assume the offensive during this years
campaign unless an exceedingly favor
able opportunity offers. Indeed, it be-
gins TO look like a deadlock below Muk-
den for the winter unless Port Arthur
falls or the Japanese abandon the idea
OF renewing the assault upon the fort
resS there and settle down TO a regular
siege, either of which would release
enough troops to give the preponder-
ance necessary TO try to force the Rus
SLAMS out of Mukden. In fact, the lat
est dispatches from the front indicate
that some such a move is preparing,
though the best opinion at the war Of
flee holds to the view that there is not
likely To be another big battle this
year, one OF the indications pointed out
being the departure of many military
attaches for the winter.
