Wipinr out tho Republican 'surplu,


Enough cannot be said in praise Of the
sagacious craftsmanship that reigns at
Albany. The Republican party Of this
State is too large. II is unwieldy. It
must be hled, thinned, reduced.
Therefore the sagacious statesmen
have highly resolved TO drive out Of it
superfuous voters, a very scant, imper-
feet list Of whom is here appended
Brokers, real estate; brokers, stock;
builders; building and loan associations,
members Of; building loan operators;
insurance companies; insurance policy
holders; investors in stocks and bonds;
mortgagors Including great numbers Of
farmers) mortgages; real estate owners
dncluding large numbers Of farmers);
savings banks; savings bank depositors;
stock spectators, professional and oc-
casional (the latter including a pretty
large slice of the population, and so on.
Add employees and other persons de
pendent in one way or another upon the
interests to be squeezed.
All in all, long list Of Republicans
transferred to the Democratic side
Doubtless the upstate Adam Smiths have
made exact estimates Of the necessary
transfers.
BY the time Of the next election the
Republican party Of New York should
be purged Of all supernuities.

Fir,t Fruit, Of tho Stock Tax.


On Wednesday evening, March 20, the
Republican Assemblymen at Albany
voted TO make the Stock Transfer Tax
bill a party measure, thereby increasing
materially the chances OF enactment for
this vicious act. The answer Of the BUSH
meas world TO this action was prompt
and unmistakable, for within twelve
hours the price of a seat on the Boston
Stock Exchange advanced nearly 10 2-s
per cent, and later made another jump,
the increase reaching 20 per cent.
This was the first fruit Of desperate
effort 20 sustain the doomed Odell system
Of indirect taxation 1t was not polit-
ical argument. II took no account of
the economic theories or political con-
yenience Of the financial experts in
Albany. The threat to make transactions
in stocks more expensive in New York
than elsewhere produced it's natural and
logical result. That is the whole story,
complete and convincing

Fewer Men Corrected Their Assessments
Ttis Year Than IN 1904,
The personal tax books we're closed
yesterday. the last day fixed by the Charter
for swearing OF. The Tax Commissioner
said that the number OF applications for
correction OF assessments was much less
this year than last, This can be accounted
for blythe fact that this years tentative
assessments were less than the total OF tho
previous year.
For 1904 the tentative Assessments
amounted TO $3.50 900. Ssl. while for this
year the total was Ss,6So,07ien. The
reduction was brought about by the action
Of the commissioners in not restoring to
the books the names Of the men who had
their assessments corrected In 1908 and
1904.
President ODonnel OF the Tax Depart
ment said yesterday that IL was Impossible
even to approximate yet the probable
percentage Of the assessments held, but
that il was probable that, when the books
are posted up. Il will be found that the
odd three billion Of the tentative figures
have been wiped out.

Five car loads of vege- tables were shipped to the markets Wednesday. ten car loads went yester- day and eight car loads are slated to be shipped out today.
