THE COMING
POLITICAL ISSUE.

For il seems easy TO see that we
are approaching the grea' question of
the people face TO face with the trusts
the combines. the protected interests
that dominate all our Industrial and
political life. We are approaching
this by special ways as In these meat
packing revelations; in the pure-food
bill: in the insurance disclosures:
in the railroad rate regulation and
revelations; all which means that the
central question TO come is the con
troll OF the government and the max
ing of laws by aud for the people or
by and for the great Industrial inter
ests.
And this brings in the question of
tarin reform which so many emf
nent democrats have recently said
would be the pre-eminent issue at
the next election. This is to be
doubted. But it does seem as IL
there were coming great change
of alignment. great pivotal move
ment in national politics. We are
passing Cslowly) out of the era of
privileged legislation for special in
terests which followed the great civil
war and are approaching the moral
demands OF thickly-populated coun-
try with fierce competitions. where
what was once for advantage for
home industry crushing monopoly for
ourselves. II is as great change
as that which the country made
when it finally had to face the ques-
uon of human slavery. SO politics
with us in the next few formative
years promises to be particularly
picturesque and interesting and

FOLK AND THE TAX LAW.


In pursuance of his declared policy
of enforcing all the laws without fear
or favor, Governor Folk OF Missouri
has undertaken the herculean task of
executing the statute regarding the
assessment and collection of taxes on
personal property.
In pursuance Of this policy he has
caused the arrest and punishment OF
a prominent and respected citizen
for making a false return to the
assessor.
The governor has d reputation as
law enforcer to sustain, but he has
no desire to see the bulk of his states
property owners in jail, and this con-
dition he is wise enough to see must
surely follow a persistent effort to
carry out the tax laws as they appear
on the statute books
But the governor is not the man to
dodge or run away from a condition,
and for that he seeks to remove the
one which now confronts him by hav-
ing the law repealed
In accordance with a measure
passed by the last legislature of Mis-
souri,, he has appointed a commission
to revise the state revenue law. His
first recommendation to this commits
sion is that the effort to tax personal
property be abandoned.
He doesn't object to sending a few
political boodlers and violators of the
Sunday closing law to prison, but
when it comes to filing the jails with
the best citizens he thinks it is time
to call halt, and yet while the law
exists he feels under obligations to
enforce it. Governor Folk character
ICES the existing law as a tax on con
science, as not reaching the tax
dodger. as a encouragement to in
vestment, and, through its en-
couragement of perjuries and disre-
gard of law, a serious menace to the
integrity of government.
It may be that the country Will yet
get around to an acceptance of the
taxation theories advocated by the
late Henry George.
