ANOTHER TAX SUIT
AGAINST WESTERN UNION

Attorney General Young has com
menced suit against the Western Union
Telegraph company for $33 ,83l.33, rep
resenting the balance Of unpaid taxes
for the years 1901 to 1904, inclusive.
Under the recent decision of the su-
prelne court there seems no ground for
holding back these. taxes, but the COM
Pany IS standing suit. The decision up
held the $1,000, 900 assessment levied in
1899 and 1900. The company paid on
it's own valuation during the following
years. The state levy varied from
year to year, being the average tax
levy Of the state for all purposes. In
1901 the stateemade a draft for s$25,0e0,
and the company paid $15, 900, leaving
a balance Of SIC, 900 due. In 1902 the
tax leyie saa BY the state was 50 81 4s,L 300,
paid. In 1908 the tax was $25,32O, and
the company paid $l7,,724, leaving an
unpaid balance Of So 500. The 1904 tax
was $24, ITO, and $18,254.07 was paid,
leaving balance Of $6,515.33. No in
terest accrues, under the former deci-
sion, so the company is merely gaining
time by fighting the suit.

CONGRESSMAN Ell. A. COOPER is out
with an interview in which he says he is
in favor of absolute free trade with the
Philippines. Just what we expected,
though it is direct insult to 1000 or
5000 tobacco and sugar producers OF his
own district. The incident only proves
what this paper urged in the primary
campaign that Mr. Cooper was out of
touch and sympathy with his district.
Some time the people of this district will
learn that man advocating such views
is not proper person to represent them
in congress. Perhaps, after the Taft
idea of taking care of our ''little brown
brother" has been accomplished and the
injury to home producers inflicted, the
voters of this district will wake up to
the dangers of being misrepresented
in congress. Still Mr.. Cooper insists be

ONE of these fine days when the smoke
of battle has entirely cleared away, some
one will rise and say: wisconsin tried
it's new primary election law. A colored
man was elected to the assembly from
the richest district in the state. An in
dependent was elected district attorney
in the most populous county in the state.
A county surveyor was elected who
knows nothing of surveying, and who
declines to accept the position. And the
minority party is shot full of holes, es-
pecially in the metropolis of the state.
Is it worth while?" And just about
that time some one else will get up and
move that bill to repeal the primary
election law be submitted to the people.
Then what will the people say?-Geo.

One year ago the receipts Of the gov
eminent were running behind the ex-
penditures. A year ago there was a
deficit for the previous twelve months of
S23,O00,000 Much was made Of this fact
by the anti-administration organs, and
the prediction was made that things
would get still worse. But the general
prosperity of the nation began to tell,
and not only was the large deficit wiped
off the books, but at the close Of the last
fiscal year there was an excess of receipts
over expenditures of $25,669,322. This
good work has gone on during the first
quarter of the new fiscal year, during
which time the excess of receipts over
expenditures was $5,87l ,314. Not the
least remarkable fact connected with
our finances is the unusual quantity of
gold that has come into the country
during the presint year. The treasury
holdings of gold are the greatest ever
know in any country at any time during
the period of recorded history.

WHETHER Secretary Taft is in error as
to the impossibility of so developing
sugar and tobacco production as to in
juriously compete with American grow
ers of sugar and tobacco, or whether the
apparently well-informed writer's are
wholly mistaken in their estimates of the
wonderful possibilities of the islands
when these shall have been developed
by American capital, the reader must
Judge for himself 1t would seem, how
ever, that widely different motive is
exhibited in the conflicting statements.
Mr.. Taft, in his great desire to help the
FilipinOs promoting free trade in their
sugar, tobacco and rice, naturally found
it eXpedient to minimize the menace to
American agriculture; whereas the in
terests concerned in attracting many
millions of American capital would be
apt to set forth their side of the case in
the most favorable light. Between the
two extremes the truth is to be found.
What the truth is, the cane and beet
sugar growers Of the United States and
the farmers who raise tobacco and rice
seem to have already decided, namely,
that, in any event, the first duty of the
American government is to American
producers, and that the surest and fair
est way to encourage home produ elton is
and always has been to maintain ade-
quate protection against foreign COM
petition. Accordingly Mr.. Taft's ener-
getic propaganda 10 favor of Philippine
free trade is making no Roadway among
American farmers. They want the tariff
on philippine products left where it is.
And what the American farmer wants in
the way of legislation has usually been
found worthy of the most serious consid-
Grafton.
