The next section of the document
tells us that count lcvies are limited
by House bill % to co cents on the
hundred dollars valuation. The limit
of the county levy TO 60 cents is one
of the best features of the special ses-
sion Legislation because it reduces tax
alton and no argument is presented
against it. Would The Democratic
party repeal these provisions in the
new law?
A Fair Proposition.
a paragraph in this bill which pro-
posed to limit the collection of taxes
to what was paid in 1904 was defeated
by the Republicans, ana this action
aroused the ire Of the Democratic writ

to make good the promise that
there should be no increase in the col
lection of taxes in any county and he
charges bad faith OF the part of the
Republicans. The majority in the Leg
was wise in striking out this
paragraph as can he easily shown.

Who VIII Be Hurt?

Senate bill No. % is passed over
tightly, by this eminent Democratic
critic, but Senate bill Nc. 10 is object
ed 70. This gives the county courts
power to appoint a collector who eX-
~trcises the powers OF q sheriff in col
3ectfng taxes. Under the provisions
of the former law the auditor with
the approval Of the governor might,
dor cause, appoint a collector and the
pamphlet says the case for giving
1ae county courts this power is not ap-
parent. 1t is apparent to any n
who will stop and think a minute and
there is no danger in the bill as the
writer suggests. Why is it not right
that the county court shall appoint a
collector of local taxes instead of the
auditor of the State? Which would
know about this, the county

4 Joint State.

Washington, Dec. 6-The leaders of the republican party in both houses have given assurance that there will be at least one piece of general legis- lation at this session, and that will be the passage of the statehood bill. No less an authority than Senator Nelson A. Aldrich, the acknowledged leader of the upper house, vouches for an in- tention to secure such legislation 1t will not surprise any one if the Rodey- Hamilton bill, passed by the house last session. Is reported from the sen- ate committee by Senator Beveridge in the first ten days of the session.
 The opposition it will encounter will be from republican and not from dem- ocratic senators. The leaders of the opposition will be Foraker and Gal finger, who are not opposed to state- hood, but object to joining New Mex ico with Arizona and Indian Territory with Oklahoma. Advocates of state- hood say that they can muster enough votes to secure the passage of the bill without the support of the senators named.
