Rio Conference WIN Discuss this
Important Subject.
PROTECT LITTLE REPUBLICS
Doctrine In Declaration That No Nation
Has Right to Forcibly Collect
Debts Owing les Citizens BY
Another Nation.

WASHINGTON. July 2s--ln u sec
ondaiy place in the program Of what i
destined TO be one OF the most pregnant
Of international gatheNngs, the thir
conference OF the American Republics, Il
set down the Drago Doctrine-so so named
after IL exponent, Doctor Luis NJ. Drago
q learned publicist Of Argentina. Yet In
its bearing upon the future. not only
Of the little republics Of the Southern
Hemisphere. but upon the nations Of the
world. even upon the greatest. in their
time OF misfortune and distress, 1,
should easily command first place. For
according to the ideas Of the originator
OF the doctrine. IL should mean the very
perpetnaticn OF their independent ma
tioual existence.
Reduced 20 its simplest terms. thi.
doctrine Is q declaration that no nation
has a right forcibly TO undertake 70
collect debts owing 10 il citizens By an.
other nation. And the proposition be-
fore the Pan American Conference. which
il is asked to submit to the great Hague
Tribunal, is. TO what extent, II at ALL
the use OF force is Unstable in the
collection of such debts Naturally, the
question thus propounded is Of the most
vital interest TO every debtor nation and
most Of all to the practically defencelesA
republics OF South and Centml America.
How II Came Before the Conference.
The discussion of this important que>-
tion was academic and without special
significance until 1t was suddenly. last
winter. thrust upon the Committee on
Program, composed Of representatives OF
the principal American republics then In
session at the State Department, consid.
ering the subjects TO be submitted 10 the
Rio Conference. The first proposition
was embodied in Article " Of the Pro.
gram, in these words:
"A resolution recommending that the
Second Peace Conference at The Hague
be requested to consider the extent TO
which the use Of force for the collection
of public debts il admissible"
But not all OF the republics represented
were willing to admit that IL was right
to use any degree OF force; bitter con.
test ensued in the secrecy OF the commit.
tee room; in this case the diplomatic
room at the State Department, and final.
ly compromise was reached by the in
sertion Of the words, Whether, and ii at
all' just after the word Consider In
the original article.
But some Of the South Americans are
still Of the opinion that this question
should not be permitted TO come before
The Hague Tribunal in any shape. SO
spirited contest is probable as the Rio
Conference discusses this proposition. In
fact, DIR. Drago the putatiye author OF
the doctrine bearing his name, refused
to represent his government in the con.
ference, because II was proposed to sub.
NIT this American doctrine to The Hague
Tribunal.

No Relief Is Granted.

The relief asked for has not been
granted. Congress has turned deaf ear
to the voices Of the masses OF our peo-
pie; and, true to our declaration, we now
appeal to the working people, aye, to
all the American people unitedly to dem
onstrate their determination that this
Republic of ours shall continue to be Of,
for and by the people, rather than of, for
and by the almighty dollar.
Attention is called not only to con-
gressional and legislative difference and
hostility to the interests Of labor, but
also to the interests of the large mass
of all our people. The press for months
has been burdened with exposures of the
corruption and graft in high circles. The
great insurance companies, the trusts, the
corporations, the so-called captains of
industry, have indeed become the own
ers Of the legislators Of our country.
Public officials, many Of whom have the
cry Of "stop thief" nearest the top of
the tongue, have been elected through
these very agencies and the contribu-
tions from them.

Support Friends Of Labor.

Where Congressman or State Legis.
lature has proven himeelf true friend
to the rights OF labor he should be sup,
ported and no candidate nominated
against him.
This movement must not degenerate
into u scramble for office. II should be-
a determined effort, free. absolutely,
from partisanship of every name and
character, 10 secure the legislation we
deem necessary and essential TO the
welfare and happiness Of all our people.
As the present objects Of this movement
are purely In the line Of legislation. all
efforts should be concentrated upon the
election of members Of Congress- and
the various State legislatures.
Wherever it is apparent that an en-.
tirely independent labor candidate can
not be eelcted. efforts should be made to
secure such support by Endorsement Of
candidates by the minority party in the
districts and by such other progressive
elements as win insure the election of
labor representatives.
In order to Systematically carry out
the policy and work necessary to this
the Executive Council OF the
American Federation Of Labor has Sc
lected the following members "a the
labor Representation Committee:
SAMUEL GoAIPERS,
JAMES 0'CONNELL,
FRANK MORRISON.
Reports and returns should be made
to the headquarters of the Labor Rep.
Committee (which win be
located in the offices Of the American
Federation OF Labor, who win give the
best possible information and advice on
uniform procedure.

thizers, has often been declared. but wa,
more clearly set forth in the declaration
unanimously adopted by the Nashvill,
Convention Of the American Federation
of Labor, in 1897, and often reaflirmed
since.
We have been ever watchful to carry
the purposes of that declaration into
effect. At times we met with partial
success yet. within the past few years
claims and promises made in platforms
or on the husting of political parties
and politicians, and especially by the
present dominant party, have been Meth
er justified nor performed. Little atten-
ton has been paid to the enactment OF
laws prepared by us and presented to
Congress for the relief of those wrongs
and the attainment of those rights to
which labor and the common people are
Justly entitled and which are essentially
necessary for their welfare.
Several Presidents of the United
States have. in their messages to Con-
gress, urged the passage of equitable
legislation in behalf of the working peo-
pie. but Congress has been entirely pre-
occupied looking after the interests Of
vast corporations and predatory wealth.
Congressman and Senators in their
frenzied rush after the almighty dollar
have been Indifferent or hostile to the
rights of man. They have had no time
and as little inclination to support the
reasonable labor measures the enact
ment of which we have urged. and
which contained benefcient features for
all our people without an obnoxious pro-
vision to any one.
Patience ceased to be a virtue, and
on March 81, 1906, the representatives of
labor presented bill of grievances to
the President and those responsible for
legislation or the failure of legislation
in Congress. reciting the failure or re-
fusing of the party in power to adopt
or enforce legislation in the interests OF
the toiling millions of our country. After
setting forth labor's grievances and re-
questing and urging early action. we clos
ed that now famous documents with this
statement
''But if perchance you may not heed
us, we shall appeal to the conscience and
support of our fellow-citizens."

Time Ripe For Action.

If it has come to condition in this,
the greatest and wealthiest nation on
earth, that the almighty dollar is to be
worshipped to an extent of forgetting
principle, conscience. uprightness and jus
tice the time has arrived for labor and
its friends to raise their voices in con-
demnation of such degeneracy. and to
invite all reform forces to join with it
in relegating indifference to the peoples
interests, corruption and graft to politi.
cal oblivion; to raise the standard of
legislation by the election of sincere,
progressive and honest men who, while
worshipping money less, will honor con-
science, justice and humanity more.
We recommend that central bodies and
local unions proceed without delay by

Taxpayers Of the town Of True will
be glad to learn that taxes will be coz
siderably less this year than last, ex-
cept in school district No. 8, where the
rate is slightly higher than the last
year. The increase in rate in that dis
trict is due to the fact that almost no
school tax was raised last year, and Q
double header was levied this year.

same as last year, but the state tax
shows substantial reduction, being
only 1887. as compared with s406.7 70

that this reduction is one Of the many

valuation of other property The
$50, 900 mile on which Mr.. Stone had
the computation made is 500 per cent.
Of the value as expressed in stocks and

without squeaks. A recent investiga-
ton Of the ratio Of assessed to actual

showed that in the five assessment dis
tricts embracing the business, and,
therefore, most valuable portion of the
city, The assessed values ranged from
81. II to 95.72 per cent. Of the actual
value as computed on actual sales. The
residence districts were assessed at
from so. to 5000 per cent. Of actual
value. Theaverage for the city was
co., per cent. Of the estimated actual
value. Lots In all parts Of the city
were found to be assessed ut 67.65 per
cent. Of the value put on them by ap-
praisers Of the probate court. The as
sessment, 40 shown by sales In 1905,
where the consideration was less than

Great variations were shown in indi-
vidual cases, the assessed value rang

A Few Months Work.

We publish in another part of this is
sue an article from-the ST. Paul Dis
patch on the work of Senator La Fol-
lette in the last session of the senate.
Probably no man has attracted 80
much attention in the last year as the
junior senator from Wisconsin. We
publish this article for two reasons,
first, because the reading public will
find in Senator La Follette's work the
reflection of a sentiment that is as
broad as the continents sentiment
that is to be reckoned with in the fu-
ture-and, second, because the News
approves of the senator's work and
wishes now to constrast it with the
greatest possible demarcation with that
of the senior senator. The division Of
public thought in Wisconsin is well ex-
pressed by the careers Of the two sena-
tors. In the attention attracted by the
manifestation thus placed before the
people the democratic party has gone
into ''inoccuous desuetude," as Grover
of Princeton would make the cyclope-
dia say.

Taxing Railroads.

Assistant Attorney General Stone
got some figures in the examination Of
Vice President Pennington, OF the
Great Northern, that should set people,
legislators especially, to thinking and
make everyone doubt the justice or
wisdom or fairness Of the gross earn
ings taxation Of railways. The follow
ing is worth serious reading and serious
subsequent thinking:
@. Now, Mr.. harrington. what is
the total capitalization Of your road per
mile? ~ s,
A. Stocks and bonds per mile Of
main-track are given as $50, 335.75
@. Taking the basis 2,027.17 miles
of road, Mr. Harrington, / wish you
would tell me what that road would be
worth at $40, 600 mile, If you will CON-
pute it.
A. $40, 54S, 400. -
@. The tax rate in this state for
1905, the average tax paid BY every
body, was .0261o mills: tell me what
the taxes would be on that rats.
A.. That 10 not fair question.
@. Please answer it whethew it is
fair or not.
A. That is rs per cent.
Q. Garry it out to the full dscimal.
A. 81, oe1, 83As4.
Q. Whereas you paid in the state Of
Minnesots in 1905, s527, e5s.75.
A. The whole thing hinges on the
valuation of other property. l doubt
if other property is assessed relatively
as big. -
Let's digest this information. If
the Great Northern mileage in Mime
sofa, capitalized ct $50, 1856 4 mile,
were assessed for taxation on one-half
of that capitalization, or $40, 900 Al mile,
and taxed at the same rate all other
property is taxed, 2.6 per cent, the
tax paid by that railroad last year
would have been 81, O61, 1894. Taxed
per cent. on its gross earnings itpaid
only $52765s, OF . little more than half.
It would take q gross earnings tax of
8 per cent. to bring railway property
to the same tax plane of all other prop
