DOES HE PAY ON HIS STOCKS?

Last year, when the personal prop
erty of George w. Vanderbilt, aggre-
eating several million dollars, was as
sessed for taxation in New York city,
he "swore off, the tax, truly alleging
that he is a resident of North Carolina.
He is one of the largest tax payers
in the State, as the following from the
Asheville Gazette shows:
''The county of Buncombe and the
State of North Carolina receives an
nually from George w. Vanderbilt a
sum of money that to the average
individual would seem a Small-SiZed
fortune. Mr.. Vanderbilt's tax this
year is something in the neighbour
hood of $4,000, half of which amount
he settled last week.
Is the property he "swore off, in
New York assessed for taxation in
North Carolina? 1t does not matter
that Mr.. Vanderbilt pays the large
sum of $4,000. The question is:

FROM TWO POINTS OF VIEW.

There are always two ways to look
at matter-from the inside and from
the outside. The ''ins' always oppose
a change; the "outs'' preach rotation
and change.
Senator Spooner, of Wisconsin, who
has four years term left him in the
Senate, is quoted as saying that cleo
lions ought to be held only once in
twenty years. Inasmuch as Spooner
has been the leader of the anti-LaFol-
lette forces, who have been vanquish-
ed, it is natural that he is SO disguised
with frequent elections that he would
like for things to remain in statu quo
for twenty years.
On the other hand we have Tom
Watson, the erratic phrase maker who
loves to be the centre of the stage al
most as much as does Mr.. Roosevelt.
declaring: Would that 1 had three
months longer to preach my doctrine,
thus praying for longer campaign.
AS in nearly everything else, the
middle ground is "the sane and safe
one. Frequent elections-and not too
frequent-are essential in a Republic
to keep public servants acknowledging
that they are servants and not masters.
Even with frequent elections the CEN
Trailing power of this age makes it
difficult for the voters to assert their
will and have it executed. Elections
once in twenty years would mean
further step toward empire than we
have yet taken under Roosevelt.
AS to wishing a campaign "threc
months longer" nobody except we'll
paid spell binders and folks who en-
joy the glare of publicity will e:dorse
that wish. In truth the leaders in DO
Iitical battles the editor upon whom
the brunt of the work falls, ana the
of longer campaigns. AS q matter of
fact. though the conventions are still
held in June or the early part of july
the voters refuse to become interested
until October arrives. Though the
headquarters are opened early and
some Keynote speeches in carly days
after the national conventions, the
campaign of this year will embrace
only two months, and the really active
time is only one month. The NATIONAL
campaigns of both parties had little
life or popular interest until the State
tickets were nominated in the pivotal
State of New York. The tendency is
all the time toward shorter campaigns
and it is a proper tendency.
In the early days when transporta-
ton was slow and mail facilities in the
rural districts We're poor it was neces-
sary to wage a long campaign to reach
the people Today when Judge Par
ker makes a speech at ten o'clock at
night in New York city and the farm

railroad, reads the speech at ten
O'Clock the next morning in his News
ana Observer, where is the necessity
for a long campaign? Where the ne
cessity for. a long campaign? When
the necessity for certain course
ends, why should that course be pur-
sued longer?
No, the Spooner idea is un-American
and the Watson idea is a waste Of good
time. Let us continue to have f"c-

plausible. But one year ago both

thought that he was in earnest in

Ask Cortelyou and Knox. They have
had an understanding that the Roose

amuck" -that is will let them continue
to tax the public for their personal
benefit and let them continue to vio-
late the antitrust laws without pros

is possessed of great nutritive value. Occasional herds of cattle are to be seen as we go westward, and at times droves of horses, and although the cow boys are not always in sight of their herds, yet they are scouting about, and very soon show up if there comes special need of them. Way stations are frequent along the line, but ours is through train to the Pacific coast, and none but through passengers are on board. Occasionally we stop to take on water, send telegrams and get special orders, and at times short stop is made to change engines and engineers, for, if the great iron mon- sters need no rest, the same cannot be said of the strenuous engineers. Read CT, do you ever stop to think when you step aboard the train that the brave man at the throttle takes your life, along with the lives of scores beside, in his hands for the time being? There is much of interest to see as we pass by the way stations, where the popula- tion naturally centers on these wide stretches of prairie country.
