Mr.. Eddy's nomination for circuit
judge by the late Republican state
convention came as a surprise to the
politicians, This was not because he
was unknown to the republicans of the
state, for his selection as chairman
of the convention itself attested his

prise of the politicians was due to
the fact that a man from a small coast
county with only FIVE votes out of
81 in the district convention should
have been the favored one against
candidates from the larger counties
with more votes. About the time the
convention met it was taken for
granted that the large counties would

STIRRING THFM UP


The Argus is all stirred up be.
cause the Journal dares TO publish
the facts about Lee Shaw's taxes
Journal.
We must confess that we have
been stirring up the new tax laws in
2 manner that makes them ANYTHING
but palatable to the Journal. The
more we stir them the better the
people will understand them and the
Journal viii! be less inclined to dis
cuss them. A discussion from the
Journals stand point is not whole
some. 1t might expose the trick
by which the corporations and trusts
were permitted TO dictate the tax
laws. 1t is mystery why the Jour
nal should waste its ammunition on
such small taxpayer as Leader
Shaw when it could amplyfy and
enlarge on the tax lodgings Of the
trusts and corporations. Besides,
1t would be more interesting and in
structive to the farmers aud small
taxpayers. The Journal was good
enough to lay bare the part the
money power was playing in framing
the new tax laws when the primary
contest was being waged by the two
candidates and their friends. 1t
did not hesitate at that time to de.
clare that the corporations and rail.
roads were trying 10 have a tax law
passed that would place the burden
of taxation upon the common PEG.
pie. They did succeed in having a
tax law passed that is entirely at
variance with the position of the
Journal in the primary contest.
Still the Journal accepts that which
it denounced. 1t goes farther and

ing the position on the tax issue
which the Journal abandoned, for
no other reason than il desired to be

Shaw is right and the Journal is
wrong on the tax question is proven
by the admission of the Republican
leaders that they must revise the
new tax laws at the coming session
of the Legislature. What better
proof is required that the Republi,
cans who have control of the organ
ization that they have deceived the
people than their hurried announce.
ment that they will revise them ?
Why this revision, may we ask, il
the new tax laws are fair and lost to
the farmers and the small property
holdersp II we understand the
Journals position on the new tax
laws we think we are not asking too
much when we inquire if the Journal
is in favor of revising the new tax
laws. Let the Journal define its
position, if it has one, and then we
will be better able TO Judge if it is in
favor of the fax dodgers" which 1t
denounced so vchemently during
the primary contest. This is not a
personal, but political issue, and
must be settled By the ballot.
We hope the Journal can find
time to define its position. Then
we will be in better mood to do
the stirring act.
