A time or two the MESSAGE has
referred to having the right kind
Of men on the State Board of
Equalization. In refe renee to this
question and other matters the St.
Louis Post. Dispatch comments;
1.-THE records of Secretary OF
State Cook and of Auditor Allen as
members of the board of equaliza-
ton, which were published in the
Sunday Post Dispatch, offer CON
elusive reasons for the rejection
of both of these men as candidates
by the Democratic State conven-
yention.
1.-THE records show that the great
franchise corporations pay less
taxes in proportion to the value Of
their holdings than any other tax.
payers in the State of Missouri.
Their vast properties are assessed
at valuation which is less than
that of the farms Of the state The
assessments are less than Ons.third
the actual value of the property;
that is, they are below the proper
ton generally accepted by asses
sors thruOut the state. The proper
ton is less than one-half that of
the property of the ordinary st.
Louis taxpayer.
"This means that the powerful
and wealthy franchise corporations
fattened by special privileges es-
cape their fair share of taxation
and thus shift the tax burdens
they should bearto the heavily
burdened merchants, farmers and
wage-earners. II means a discrim.
ination in favor 70 special inter
ests so gross and outrageous that
the officials thru whom it is ac-
eomplished are guilty of an un-
pardonabls betrayal OF public
trust. and disgrace the party b.

1.-THE records show that Cook and
Allen, as members of the board Of
equalization, have supported this
discrimination without exception
during their official terms. They
have voted invariably in the ma
jority for the protection of the
franchise corporations from just
taxation and for the shifting of
their burdens to the plain people.
Every resolution introduced by
Attorney General Crow to equal
ize the tax assessments by in
creasing those of the franchise cor
porations to fair basis, was voted
down by Cook and Allen, assisted
by Gov. DOckery and State Treas
urer Williams.
"But the Sunday Post. Dispatch
showed more than this-it showed
the reasons why Cook and Allen
supported tax discrimination in
favor of the franchise corpora.
tons. 1t was brought out in the
Cardwell case that Cook, when
chairman of the Democratic state
committee, received between $l2,.
900 and $50 from men who
represented the corporations, for
the Democratic campaign fund
About so percent of the campaign
funG was made up of con tributions
from favored corporations. In
short, the tax discrimination en-
joyed by the corporations was
paid for in slush funds. Mr.. Cook
was assistant lobbyist in some of
the worst legislative deals that
haved iSgraced the state legislature,
notably the breeders bill and the
street railway consolidation bill.
eff the Democrats renominate
Cook and Allen they will formally
indorse the sale of tax favors for
party slHsh funds they will in,
dOrse lobbying party leaders and
state officials. They will practic-
ally nullify all that they have ac-
compIished in the victory of Cir
cult Attorney Folk upon an anti
corruption platform.
"The victory of reform will be
barren Of fruits IL the election of
Folk is accompanied by the cleo
ton Of the men who represent all
that he has fought and who are
identified with the ring which has
plundered the state and disgraced
the Democratic party"
In reference to the above Attor-
ney General Grow is quoted as
saying, I knoweyery word of it
is true. The people of Missouri
have gradually awakened to the
fact that discrimination has been
made by the equalization board
members in favor of the corpora
lions. The equitable assessment of
franchises should certainly be
made one OF the leading issues of
the campaign"

A Little Politics Now and Then.

In months gone by maybe you
may think the MESSAGE was a lit
tie severe on s. B. Cook. His can
didacy is settled, now, as far as
Audrain is concerned. We have
no further fight. But if you really
think we did say anything out of
the way" for your satisfaction
and for our defense we desire to
quote from two or three sources.
And in doing so, we assure you, it
is without malice-we simply de-
sire to present the facts.
Maybe you haven't read this
one, from the Monroe City News:
Folks nomination is now prac-
tically assured. The great ques-
ton now is to get the rest Of the
ticket in harmony with the head.
Every man who has been fighting
Folk and the reform he represents
is now working desperately to Sc.
rurc the nomination Of Cook and
Allen. Most of the machine has
surrendered to the Doodle proseou-
tor, finding opposition useless; but
all these men are trying to save
Cook aud Allen.
There must be reason for this;
and it is not far to find. They want
to hinder reform as much as pos
sible, and to save all the machine
that can be secured from the
wreck. 1t is we'll kuoYp that Cook
is the brains Of the machine, the
man who has done more to organ
ize it than any other. True, he has
done good work for the Democrat
ic party during campaigns, but in
other matters he has done bad
work. He is shown to have been
in lobbying for pay while
he was chairman of the party com
This is bad for an anti
lobby party. He was a voluntary
witness to bribery. Knowing Of
the corruption, he concealed it. He
held secret caucuses with the auti-
Folk men to devise means to head
off the movement in favor Of max
ing the Doodle prosecutor govern
Or.
For all these reasons he would be
a heavy load on the Democratic
ticket this fall"
Here is a shot from w. O. L.
Jewets paper, the Shelbina Demo.
orat,
"If the Democratic ticket is
down with Cook and Al
len. especially the former, it may
meet defeat. The editor of this
paper has talked with leading
Democrats from all over the state,

ger to The party il Cook is placed
