Especial Washington Letter.


chairman of the congressional
Republican campaign commit
fee-the slickest and cutest ever.
James is passing the hat around in full
view Of the public, inviting dollar sub
scr1ptions from all free handed per-
sons to help elect Republican con-
gress. Dollar subscriptions, mark you!
In the olden times insurance compa-
niles and other captains Of finance
poured the coin of the realm into the
Republican war chest by the thousands
and hundreds of thousands, and no
doubt they are doing 1t yet. The only
difference Is that ''this load of poles, .
o. my constituent Colonel John M.
Barker would say, the captains sneak
In at the back door and deposit their
big contributions unbeknownst to
James, while he stands at the front
door, hat in hand, soliciting the soil
tary dollar from the stray wayfarer.
It's stupendous game If it works, but
can the people be fooled by such a
transparent make believer trow not.
Everybody knows that the Republic
ans will have slews Of money, and I'M
lsss they do have It we viii elect a
Democratic congress by from fifty ma

Perry Belmont ought to be happy.
His crusade for publicity in campaign
subscriptions has at least had the eff
fect Of forcing the Republicans to as
sumo virtue even If they have 1t not.
Il the Republican house had passed
the publicity bill there would not have
been SO much Republican slush fund
this trip. and that is precisely the rea-
son why it did not pass the house.
The g. o. P. performed the usual ca
per-that Is, to pass bill demanded by
the public through one house and hang
It up In t'other, thus leaving it. like
Mohammed's coffin, suspended betwixt
heaven and earth. They have no more
idea Of placing an effective publicity
blu upon the statute books than the
readers Of this letter have of ramming
their noggins into redhot stove. Not
Q bit more. They passed 1t quietly
through the senate. laughing in their
sleeves. They knew beforehand that
IN the house 1t was a dead one. So

FOLK ON SHIFTING
BURDEN OF TAXATION

Chicago, Feb. IA dispatch to the
Record Herald from jefferson City No.,
says;
Gov. Folk last night issued an ex-
pliclt statement of his convictions con-
corning the abolition OF personal taxes
In Missouri, and the shifting OF large
part OF the burden upon the big cor
porations. He said
1T Is asserted by some persons that
the removal OF states tax from personal
property, thus placing upon real estate
and corporate monopoles the burden OF
government would benefit the rich at
the expense OF the poor.
ION the contrary in proportion TO
personal property tax land by personal
property IL not meant corporate fran
chises and privileges), falls heaviest
on the poor and the honest.
THE abolition OF this tax and put
ting II on corporate privileges cannot
be TO the advantage OF the rich az
against the poor. for the poor man has
no monopoly privileges and no corpor-
ate holdings.
Every farmer, under the present
system, pays on every COW, horse and
hog; every widow or orphan whose es-
tate must so through the probate court
must pay In full while too often the
man OF wealth, having his personality
In such shape Il cannot be reached,
pays practically nothing.
Some persons object to corporations
and real estate bearing the burdens OF
state government. But the state gives
TO corporations. which are artificial ere
atures OF the state, rights and prlvi-
leges which the ordinary citizen does
not enjoy and 1t is only just that the
