6. Police are either municipal or

police system must be one or the other.

The Rockefeller interests get S4O,.

dividends from the STANDARD OIL
Company. But the Standard is by no
means the only source OF their revenue.
They own the biggest bank in New

They OWE private car lines, tank cars,

and a large part of the 21O, 900 miles
American railroads. They own the

OF the world. They have fastened
their clutches on the coal and iron
mines Of the country, and on the street
car business, the telephones and gas
and electric light works in New York

their boats ard ships on the Ohio, on
the Mississippi, in the canals, on the

numerous and more valuable than the

Nobody, in fact but themselves
Knows how varied are the Interests and
how enormous are the profits Of this

The Texas Legislature is wrestling
with what is called an Intangible as
set tax DILL. "Vox Populi," "Verl.
tas" and other ancient, omnipreseut
patriots are assailiug the ears Of the
people through the press explaining
that every tax laid upon railroads,
street car lines, etc is wrong and op.
pressive. They show or try to show
that these taxes are really collected
from the people who patronize these
institutions and that they thus fail
OF their purpose. The same argu.
ment might be applied to taxes on
farms and merchandise. II the
farmer paid no taxes he could sell his
corn cheaper. II the merchant paid
no tax be could sell his goods cheaper
VOx Populi, Veritas and all their
numerous kin have always shown a
great horror Of doing anything that
might come indirectly to Cypress the
plain people. They have always been
rs devoted to the plain people as the
the Kansas City Star has become in
recent years.

The San Domingo situation remains
unchanged, so does the Venezuela
situation. 1t is hardly probable how.
ever that president Roosevelt. will
fail TO try at least to signalize his adj
ministration by a little war or a lit.
de territorial expansion. A little
war would doubtless satisfy the presi.
dent. The press agent could do the
rest. The process by which San Juan
Hill was converted into a wagram
might avail to magnify any sort Of
petty strife into a GLORIOUS" war fol
