DEMOCRATIC HYPOCRISY Elk
POSED AND THE PARTY'S
DECEPTION LAID BARE.

Recently our Democratic friends
have taken up the cue that the re-
duction Of taxes on the masses could
be explained" by taking UP false,
hood and sticking to it. thus delud-
ing some of their more ignorant and
prejudiced followers. They say the
County Court has failed to levy sufii.
Client funds to run the county bust,
ness and make needed improvements
in order to Keep taxes down. Now,
the West Vtrglnian happens to have
in Its possession a copy of that won.
lerful pamphlet entitled "Tax Legis-
lation," which was sent broadcast over
the State by the Democrats two years
ago. What was the attitude of the
Democrats on raising money for pub
lie Improvements at that time? An
examination Of that pamphlet disclos,
es the fact that they condemned the
Republicans for not limiting the as.
gregate Of taxes for 1906 and 1907 to
what was paid in 1901! Is that true?
you ask. 1t is undoubtedly true and
we quote from page II Of the pam
pllet to prove our assertion. The Ian
suage is as follows:
There was one paragraph in the
new bill that might have given some
protection. 1t provided that the total
amount TO be raised by the levy for
either the year 1906 or the year 1907
shall not in any county exceed the TO-
tai amount which the law as 1t WIS
on July /, 1904, would have permit,
ted to be raised in such county upon
the valuation therein as It was ON
that day.
Here was paragraph which
would have made good the promise
that at least for the next two years
there should be no increase in the
aggregate Of taxes in any county by
reason of land and property valua-
tons under the law. But on motion
OF. Senator Forman, this paragraph
was stricken out and the tax payers
left to the discretion of the County
Court in fixing county and road lNy.
les except SO far as they are limited
by the constitution itself. This at.
tempt to|make the people believe that
the levy would be reduced is therefore
n part Of that plan Of attempted de.
ception which has marked every phase
of dealing with this matter"
Please read the above over about
twice more before going any further
1t proves that our Democratic friends
have turned tail absolutely upon their |
position OF two years ago and even
then they were making statements
wholly at variance with the truth. In
their efforts to show that the Repub.
licans refused 70 hold the aggregate
OF taxes for 1905 and 1906 to what was
paid in 1904, they refused to state
what really was the truth, THAT the
amount was limited in 1906 to five per
cent above the aggregate Of 1904 and
to seven per cent, more in 1906. Thus
they stand convicted q deception,

Coy, Dawson processes to be very
happy because the tax rate is less than
seventy cents, Yes but not a word
has he to say about the valuations
which are the highest Of any State in
the Union. Make the valuations high
enough and you can reduce the levy to

Glad to see that has gotten through

Of levy couldn't be reduced at all. This

Des Moines, Iowa, Sept. 10.-The

When it reassembles it will draw up in

Will be recommended. ~
The report will not recommend the
compulsory annual distribution of the
surplus among policyholders of life in
surance companies. Auditor Carroll
has been insistent on some such require
ment, and at the last session Of the leg
lslature bill was introduced at his in
stance, limiting the amount of surplus
company might hold, and requiring an
among ,policyholders., The bill was not
enacted. During the summer the Iowa
Underwriters have convinced the COM
mission that on account of the relative
lIy small surplus the state companies
have accumulated it would work a
hardship on them to be required to
make annual dividends on all policies.

societies doing business in Iowa and for

found that these classes of insurance
companies were not charging adequate
rates according to experience tables of

Denver's Unique eoys' Court.

IRON the REVIEW OF kIeV1GW6.
Judge Lindsey's method of holding.
cou is unexampled. He has taken his.
place among the boys al one OF them
selves. He talks to them in their own
language and makes free use Of their
slang. His method OF examination is
fraternal rather than paternaI. He even.
fosters in the boys the idea that hiss
w tenure of office depends upon their
good behavior.
It's just this way" he says. "I'd.
like to keep you fellows out of Golden
the town where h boys industrials
school is located-'but I'm afraid IL T
do III loose my job. People are always
saying that I'm too lenient with you
kids anyhow, and IL 1 dc let you off
again, n Their I'll get blamed for It.
and, like as not I'll get kicked out Of
this court
The consequence of this In tina Judge.
Lindsey is often earnestly assured by
the boys that he needn't worry about
them getting into troubie"-an assurs
ance which Judge Lindsey always re-
ceives with grave thanks.
Another impression among the boys,
which Judge Lindsey does nothing to,
correct is that the police of Denver are
against the court and in favor OF put
ting all the boys in jail. Therefore. it
Is believed that every time a boy on
probation is caught In a new offense
the cops" nave u joke on the Judge
The result is a universal pride in fool
ing the cops" and staying with the.
court.
An unforeseen outgrowth OF this SYM
pathetic understanding is the voluntary
delinquent. This is a boy who comes.
to Judge Lindsey of his own free win
to own up to a fault or vice which he
cannot overcome by himself and to ask
the Judge for help. There have been
np9 r1v two hrn1ra7 ne thA~A d. Al. ---A
two years. Often the boys under pro
baton bring them in. and the Judge
himself is always careful to let ii be
known that the court IL N anxious to
help a boy who has never beer ar
rested as a boy who has It is partly
due to this that the boys In Denver are
not ashamed of having been before
Judge Lindsey, but speak of them
selves with pride az '~be3onging to the
Juvenile COURT
