How the Tariff is Worked.

There is little doubt that in many
instances the tariff works differently
from the intention. For instance
there was tariff of ten cents a
pound on tea. This was put on
solely to raise revenue for the gov
eminent. 1t was to be supposed
that consumers must pay this ten
cents pound in addition to the cost
of production and the middlemen's
profits. Thus far the question seems
plain. A year ago Congress re-
pealed the law putting tariff of ten
cents a pound on tea. Was it ex-
pected that the consumer should
thereafter get his tea at cost of ten
cents less than he had been getting
it? Well, he don't. Who gets the
ten cents which the government
relinquishes? The middlemen. Con-
gress has passed the Cuban Reel
procity treaty whereby the tariff on
sugar leaving Cuba is reduced 20
per cent. 1t is now said that the eff
feet of taking off that 20 per cent
has brought the price of raw sugar
down exactly that amount while
sugar sold to the consumer remains
at the same price as before. Conse-
quently the act that was to benefit
the producer does not benefit him a
particle; neither does it the consum-
er. The middleman = the sugar
trust-alone benefits by the 20 per
cent reduction. Cuban sugar is
bought at $6.75 per ton less than it
was before the Cuban reciprocity
bill passed. Sugar has not been re-
duced in price to the consumer, and
probably not perceptibly to the re-
taller.

The State House Fire.

Had Gov. La Toilette been as
diligent in his efforts to protect the
property of the state as he was IN
endeavoring to prevent the renomi-
nation of Congressman Babcock, the
capitol building at Madison would
not now be in ruins. The Madison
Journal is vigorously agitating the
question Of an investigation for the
double purpose of ascertaining the
origin of the fire and the reason
why the excellent means provided
by the Legislature for the extinguish-
ment of fire were not properly
used.
Many regard the fire as the result
of gross neglect or ineficiency on
the part of those having charge of
the building, and for whose neglect
or efficiency the Governor cannot
reasonably hope to escape response
bility. His recognition of this fact
is doubtless the reason why he ig-
nores the call for an investigation.
The agitation of this subject has
brought out some interesting facts
not generally known, which show a
striking contrast between the bust
ness-like methods employed by Gov.
Scofeld and the lax methods OBJ
served by Gov. La Toilette in the
matter of protecting the capital
against loss or damage by fire.
When Scofeld became Governor
the capitol building was pronounced
a veritable "fire-trap" upon which
the insurance companies were max
ing no mad rush to obtain risks.
Gov. Scofeld called the attention of
the Legislature to the matter and
asked for an appropriation sufficient
in amount to provide the best pos
sible protection. His request was
complied with, additional safeguards
were provided, and were supple
mented by most careful observ-
ance of precautionary measures. In
addition to the water supply fur
nished by the University water
main the capitol system of protec-
ton was connected with the city
wster-mains, and all valves liable to
become affected by frost were prop
erly protected, and frequently tested,
that they might be known to be IN
working order. Then, the watch
men and engineers were instructed
by drill as to their duties in case Of

Platteville Normal is being doomed
for State Superintendent, and ex-
Senator w. H. Phipps of Hudson
is said to be candidate for Rail
road Commissioner. Should the
stalwart element control the state
convention and nominate Judge
Baensch for Governor, it would be
an unwise proceeding to nominate
for the balance of the ticket men
who have for months scofed at the
efforts of Baensch to bring about
party harmony, and men who would
try to embarrass him at every point.
Should the half-breeds control the
convention no one will be nominated
who is not in full accord with the
La Toilette idea.

fire. They knew where to find the
wrenches with which to open the
valves and how to use them. When
the building was closed for the night
all lights were extinguished, except
the lanterns carried by the watch
men, thus reducing the danger of
fire to the lowest possible minimum.
After getting. the capitol into an
insurable condition Gov. Scofeld
had the building insured for six
hundred thousand dollars, but Gov.
La Toilette mounted his anti-cor-
poration hobby and cut off the in
surance, SO that the people would
not be robbed by the insurance COM
panies, for which the latter are now
duly thankful.
Had Gov. La Toilette felt that a
searching investigation would have
relieved himself from the suspicion
of culpable neglect in caring for the
property of the state, he would have
ordered such an investigation before
the smoke of the fire had cleared
away. AS it is, the people already
know as much about the fire, and
the failure to promptly utilize the
apparatus which they had generous
ly} supplied, as he cares to have them
know.

With all of Gov. La Follette's al

The Russians are said to have 80
regiments of mounted Cossacks.
The Japanese are understood to be
deficient in cavalry. Cavalry is all
right to run on errands and do
chores, but it is the infantry that
determines the issue of battle. Even
the artillery is more formidable for
its noise than its execution. The
long lines of men with the repeat
ing rifle and the sharp bayonet in
the brunt are the dependence to ac-
complish the work.

FOREIGNERS IN PHOENIX
They Are Being Unearthed by the

Henry Drane, who is engaged in the accumulation of the school tax is mak- ing the discovery that there are great many foreigners in town who disclaim any responsibility for the maintenance of the school system of Arizona. It must not be sur1nised that MT. Drane is holding up the tourists and other tran sient visitors who make up so much of the winter population.
 In the course of his official wander ings he finds men employed as clerks in stores. and now and then one engaged in business on his own account in a small way. They resent the advances of the collector and tell him that Phoe- nix Is not their abiding home; that they are sojourners in a strange land; they may be here six months and they may not; anyway they are not citizens of the territory.
 In vain MT. Drane points out to them that they are taking up the room of good tax paying Arizonians and that for the good of the community they had better go back to Missouri, Ohio, Indiana or to any other foreign princi- pality or power to which they acknowl- edge allegiance.

THE WORLDS FAIR BOARD
Its Report Submitted to the Governor
 Yesterday.

The report of the board of managers for Arizona of the Louisiana purchase exposition was submitted to Governor Brodie yesterday. It states that two car loads of material have been col lected for the mineral exhibit, and that one car load is made up of the agri- cultural. horticultural and educational exhibit. The work of transporting all this to St. Louis will be begun at once.
 The report shows that the exhibits have been collected at a cost of $, ,165. This includes all the expenses of the board, and. in fact, all the expenditures made by it except for the Arizona building. which cost s3.1OO. The former board had expended s5S0.
 There was at the disposal of the board the proceeds of the bond issue voted by the Twenty-first legislature. The issue authorized was 0,000. The bonds were sold at a premium of seven per cent, netting the territory s32, 100. There remains of the proceeds $22, ,450.
 The greater. part CT all of this sum will be exhausted in caring for the ex- hibits after their installation. Arrange ments have been made with the rail- roads for the carrying of the exhibits free.
