After having failed to prejudice
and deceive the people in the matter
of the splendid saving to them the
new tax laws are bringing, Demo-
cratic papers are now yainly attempt
ing to get the people against the
new laws because the State Board of
Public Works is visiting the coun-
ties as reviewing board. The OBJ
ject Of the board is to bring about
equalization so far as is possible and
to give all aggrieyed an opportunity
to be heard. Democratic papers APP
pear not to want that to be done.
But the people are on to their little
game and are not to be misled by
them. All men who want honest
and equal taxation are not objeeting
to any and every effort being put
forth to bring that about, nor do
they condemn the state board for
|exerting its efforts toward correcting
what discrepancies there may be.

GEO. EVANS IN
THE RUNAWAYS

Evans in the title role, was present
ed at the Grand last night. The
theatre was packed to the doors,
standing room being at premium.
Beyond doubt George Evans is the
best singing comedian ever sen on
the local stage and his supporting
company were all exceedingly clever.
The chorus was very handsomely
eostumed and We presume they wre
pretty. ''The Runaways' abounds
in slang, but as certain college pro-
fessors have decided that slang is a
necessity of the age, it can't be said
to be Objectionable in this play.
This play was originally seen at
the Casino in New York, and at that
time Miss Fay Templeton was in the
cast. With the exception of that
lady the performance last night was
as good, if not better, than the orig
inal. Mr.. Evans is way ahead OF
Arthur Dunn in the leading part.
A very clean performance was given,
scarcely any vulgarity crept out. The
comedians had again to resort to
local and personal illusions, which
is hardly necessary. If we want to
hear our friends roasted we can wait
until the Elks put on their annual
entertainment.
On the whole .The Runaways" is
as good a musical comedy as could
ever be expected to be seen in this
neck o the woods, and a return date
would not be ont Of order.
Tonight will be present what
Happened to Jones?" an exceeding
ly funny farce.

Democratic editors have howled
themselves hoarse to the effect that
the railroads are paying less tax un-
der the new system of taxation than
other people. They say the rail-
roads are being favored. Suppose
we take just one little instance.
right here at home. For the year
1904 under the old system the tay-
payers in general paid more city tax
than they did in 1905, the year the
new system began to take effect. Yet
the same is not true of the railroads,
for the official figures show them 10
he paying the city more taxes than
the year before. Here are the
figures: In 1904 the railroad lines
paid the city Ss71.49 in taxes. That
was under the old laws. In 1905
under the new laws the railroads
will pay the city $957.77, or $50. 80
more year than under the old svs-
tenn. The $s71.49 was collected at
the rate of one dollar on the humid
red dollars valuation. The $931.T7
was collected at the rate of only sS
cents on the hundred dollars valua-
tion. Thus, is it shown that in this
instance at least the railroads have
not been favored in valuations, and
again is another Democratic bubble
punctured.

PUBLIo LAND IAW REFoRM

1t is perhaps too much to hope for
a reform of the public land laws from
the present short session of congress,
but the presidents special message
states once more in forceful and I'M
controvertible fashion the imperative
need of it. 1t is, Indeed, in part. no
new revelation, for the abuse of the
land laws has long been so notorious
that the failure of congress to provide
adequately against it is inexcusable.
But the presidents summary of the
fresh official disclosures of the ramifi-
cations of fraud whereby, vast and
most valuable portions of the peoples
heritage have been alienated ought to
stir the national legislature to action
The purpose of the homestead law
and of the timber, stone and desert
land acts was benefcent, but it is for
that very reason only the more intol-
cradle that these laws should be longer
permitted to be prostituted to robbery
of the intended beneflciaries and to
criminal enrichment of powerful rail-
road, mining and cattle corporations
The penalties of the criminal code
are, indeed, being inflicted on some
of the conspirators, but, after all, only
comparatively few will be reached, and
while some OF the stolen land is be.
ing restored to the public domain, II
is at best only a small part of the
whole. What the stenchful and disas
trous situation requires is thorough
recasting of the land laws, and it can,
not be done too carefully.
