Returning to the subject Of the tariff,

former and 2. stand pa tier, and that he
"may lead a movement for tariff re-
vision in 1908, liant thsen~ says:
"Mr. Roosevelt has written nothing
distinctly and anequivo cally stating his
position since he withdrew from the
free trade club; but it has been given
out at Oyster Bay this summer that. he
is fully in accord with the views of
which have been summarized in the
language of gamblers and beggars,

that President Roosevelt favors big

Philippines, and that he would make
laws advantageous for them; that he
wants q big military and naval force,
to include subsidized merchant marine,

not until he found it necessary to win

urated by Jefferson and Monroe, and
not by the big American corpora

he seeks to enthrone in the Philippines

The charge then is made that the

accepts gifts from them-violated the
interstate commerce law-demands and
receives money in favored banks with

All taxable property in Minneapolis
will be taxed at the rate of 24.5O mills
to run the city and contribute it's pro.
portion to the state and county in the
year 1907. The rate is irrevocably
fixed, as the board Of tax levy has ad-
journed, and there is no power which
can now amend the levy.
The meeting Of the board was almost
like massacre. It is not recalled that
anything so fierce has been seen since
the trying days of the early nineties.
Many a city official will be sadly dis
appointed when he learns how ruth
lessly his plans have been disarranged,
but the members of the board can sim
ply say that the taxpayers foot the
bills. They made their demands and
they were granted.
In the current expense fund, the fund
from which the city departments draw
their sustenance, the board made a net
cut Of $42,280 after adding $4,000 for
the automatic increase in salaries of
second and third-year men and adding
$4,000 for detention home for iuve-

I has been definitely decided that the

conducted strictly on state issues.
y Help OF the leaders Of the republi

participate in the New York fight.
They will be asked, however, in their
speeches to confine themselves as near

New York this year.
Il President Roosevelt is a New York
man. He has participated in politics
in this state personally since his boy
{ hood, when he used to organize juve
nile professions in behalf Of his favo-
!. rite candidate. 1t is, therefore,
! deemed to be entirely proper to play
upon the name of, Roosevelt at every
