The Capital News gets off on the
right track occasionally and tslls
something Of interest to its readers.
For instance, IN speaking Of the
populist state convention, it says that
IT. W. BARLEY has accepted the
populist nomination for governor
rendered him by an enthusiastic mass
state convention composed of six
legal voters, notwithstanding the fact
that a short time since he declared his
intention Of leaving the socialist
party and voting for Roosevelt. II
there IL any kind Of an office or
nomination that BARLEY would not
accept, some enterprising fskir would
make 3 ten strike by running 1t down
snd placing II on exhibition.

In Its ardent support Of polyRamy
and unlawful Capitalization the Capital
News becomes so earnest that Ii falls
to grasp the fact that a wise man
changes bis opinions when 1t Is
demonstrated that he has been de-
ceived and misled into believing
something that Is subsequently proven
untrue. The editor OF the Capital
News does not seem to realize the fact
that the person who does not change
his opinions is a mossbaek who
always mosies along behind the pro-
eession. II the editors OF the Capital
News are not polygamists, they are
undoubtedly making strenuous efforts
to defend the practice, aud show by
their continued support Of 1t that
they are unwilling to change their
minds, even in the face Of the sworn
testimony Of Joseph Smith, head of
the Mormon church, and a dozen
other lesser lights, who admitted
under oath that they were polygam-
lists aud believed It to be divine
institution. We heard Judge Rich
quote scripture 10 the members Of the
committee on resolutions of the
democratic state convention to prove
that polygamy IL OF divine origin.
The Capital News goes farther than
these high officials Of the Mormon
church in its defense Of the crimes,
aud under such strained mental con
ditions we are not surprised that its
editors never change their minds, and
in q rambling dissertation criticise
Senator Dubois aud others for doing
so, The man who thinks may change
his opinions, but the mechanical
mind never.

The RathdTum Tribune, which is

TAX COMPNRIsONr.

Tue question of taxation is a sub
jet that deeply interests every per
son who owns property, real or per-
sonal For this reason the Press has
gathered a few statistics from the re
cords which are absolutely correct
and may be verified by any one. It
will be remembered that the fusion,
or democratic. forces took charge of
the county in January following the
election of 1896. Previous to that
date the county had been continuous.

for number of years. We will be-
gin with the taxes Of 1892, emitting
The special town and school district

claim should not 10 considered,
although We believe that taxes are
taxes. no matter for what purpose
they are levied, aud if these special
taxes we're included in our figures
the showing for rspubi eau county
administration would be even worse.
For the year 1892, the general levy
was 81 so on each 800 valuation.
In 1893 the total remained the same
as the previous year, $3.50 In
1894 it was not raised. but in 1895
the taxes began TO move upward and
the levy was fixed at $3.50. This
raise created such a protest that the
foIlowing year slight reduction was
made, the levy being placed at s3.46.
In January, 1897, the fusionists took
charge Of the county aud found a
floating warrant Indebtedness about

purpose Of finishing up the payment
OF the outstanding warrants which
the republicans had left as heritage.
For that year the levy was up to the
highest point reached by the repub-
lioans, $500. The taxes of that
year put the county on a financial
basis where the levy could be re-
duced, aud the democratic admins
tration began to make showing of
economy aud business management
in keeping with It's promises to the
people. The levy of 1899 was re-
dueed to s2.45A making saving to
the people OF 1A4 cents in taxes. The
following year, 1900, the democrats
made another reduction, placing the
levy at 80, 40 This was the lowest
tax levy ever made in the history Of
the county. For the years 1901 and
1909 the levy was 80. 10 on each 800
valuation. Thus it will be seen that
the county was never so economically
managed as during the years of fusion
and democratic rule. In the cam
psign Of 1909 the republicans waged
war against the democrats, charging
extravaganza and high taxation
against them, with such force aud
vigor that they made many voters be
lieve that reduction would be made
II the administration was changed
They deceived enough people to turn
the county over to the republicans
and in 1908 kent the levy at the
same rate as the previous year,
81. 10, failing to make the promised
reduction. But during the year their
extravaganza aud the resulting in-
crease in the warrant Indebtedness
made it apparent that something must
be done to keep the revenues up to
point near the enormous expendi.
lures There was bat one way to do
this by an increase In the tax levy
for the year 1904. The result Il
that those who pay taxes this year,
will be compelled to settle with the
county on levy Of 81. 10 on each
400 valuation. Add the special
school and road taxes to this aud you
will pay s4.4O II living in the
country, and If resident Of town
the special road taxes will be omitted
and the town taxes added. In this

Louisville. Ky, May 23.-The Times Sat urday says:
 Jo A. Parker Chairman of the Nation al Executive Committee of the Populist Party. said today, in an interview, that Hearst would receive the support of the Populists in Kentucky and elsewhere. ''I speak for the national leaders of my party when I say we are for him." said Mir Parker. His views and principles agree with ours. He advocates certain principles for which we have been fight ing for years. If the Democrats nomi- nate him the Populist Party will put out no ticket"
 But does not the Populist Party meet in National Convention in St. Louis on July before the Democrats meet?''
 Yes, that Is fact replied Parker, "but I am now advocating postpone ment of this date for two weeks in order that we may know whether the Demo- crats nominate Hearst or whether they are able to name man who believes as he does All of our party leaders agree with me that this should be done and I think it will be found shortly that we have postponed our convention. Then. of course, If the Democrats do not nomi- nate Hearst we will meet and name a ticket"
