TAXES.

The question OF taxes is 20 an pco.
pie ut aIl times a live and interesting
question lt IS mauifcstly impossible
for us 10 have q state government
without taxation. In a new common.
wealth like this where there are prac.
tIcSly no public Appointments it
will require large sums OF money prop.
orly 10 install our state and county
governments, and 20 make public i'm
proyements absolutely needed Tins
tax, owing 10 landed conditions In the
Indian Territory. will come largely
from personal property. our taxes
should be uniformly levied so that
each citizen and corporation OF the
state will bear his just proportion Of
the burden To allow the man of great
wealth 20 escape by paying on only a
portion OF his taxable values. while
the man of modest means Is taxed
to the limit Is an inexcusable wrong
and should not be tolerated
But great harm 10 the state may bo
done after the taxes are collected. In
this state q hundred opportunities
for graft and misappropriation OF the
peoples funds will creep into the ad
ministration OF the affairs OF the state
The Interests of tho people should b,
jealously guarded, For every dollar OF
taxes collected the people shoIld re-
celye In return one hundred cents IN
value. our tax rates should Dee the
lowest possible consistent with the
needs of The government iudlciously
and economically administered .-

LAWYERS IN POLITICS.

Edward NJ. Shepard. the eminent
New York lawyer. called attention
In an address at Concord. n. H.. be-
fore the state bar association TO the
favor now shown by the American
people to men of inherited wealth.
In politics. like Theodore Roosevelt
William n. Hearst and Seth Low
He also contrasted the leadership
3 OF President Roosevelt and William
J. Bryan In the republican and demo-
cratic parties with the part form
erly taken by lawyers. pointing out
that neither Mr.. Roosevelt ne4 Mr..
& Bryan has acquired distinction as a
lawyer.
II Is not the fault of the Ameri-
can people that men of inherited
wealth in the past have not enjoyed
favor in politics. or that lawyesg
have less influence with the public
conscience than formerly they pos
sessed.
The explanation is simple The
lawyers have been withdrawing
from the advocacy of popular causes
and the rich men have beor en- g
ing actively in politics. The American
people are not disposed to lay II
born rich. IL he does not devote his
wealth to base or ignoble ends
