Cheap Campaigns Hereafter.
! From Hoboken Observer


Hereafter nobody will haye any right to
complain that he cannot afford the expense
Of running for public Office. Before it ad.
jonrned the late BENEVOLENT Legislature,
with the assistance of Governor Stokes,
made campaigns so cheap, that, il the law
shall be observed they will cost hardly
anything.
No person may give or agree to give, fol-
the promotion OF candidacy at the pr.
maries or in the succeeding campaign, any
money to pay for meal, drink, or enter
tainment to influence voter to vote for OF
against candidate for public Office, the
act says.
at the lately maltreated saloon-keeper,
among Others Neither the candidate moi
his friends will have any right under this
section TO make saloon canvas, unless he
goes into each place and buys a single
drink for himself.
Setting 'em up for the crowd is penal
offense, quite as henious as paying the lodg-
ing Of bum or providing him with q
meal in the hope Of getting his vote.
Likewise it is criminal to fit up the club
room or pay the rent Of any club, or to
provide any organization with uniforms.
Advertisements may be inserted in the
newspapers booming candidacy, but they
must be signed by the persons paying for
them. To pay for the publication Of anony-
nous advertisements is criminal.
For violating any of these provisions Of
the new act the penalty shall be disfran-
chisement for two years, and for the second
offense perpetually. And the worst of it is
that the informer is given immunity from
punishment, if he shall be called upon to
testify.
Inasmuch as there were already on the
statute books laws forbidden the sale to any
candidate for Office of tickets for any pic
MO, ball or church sociable, which it is to
be presumed are being generally obeyed,
and laws prohibiting the purchase Of votes
with cash, the candidate will find great
difficulty in getting rid of his money.
About all that he and his friends can do
is to hire halls and talk to the people.
That will be fine for the orators, but what
show will plain, good fellow" who can't
talk, have in the game after this

Republican inconsistency.

The Republicans Of the present day have
forgotten what the founders Of their party
declared in 1860, when they were seeking
the approval Of the American people. At
that time they did not attribute the growth
and prosperity Of the nation to protection
ism as they now do, but to the true causes
Of both-that is, to the union of the States
and the consequent freedom Of trade among
them. They declared: THAT to the union
of the States this Nation owes its unprece-
dented increase in population, its surprising
development Of material resources, its rapid
augmentation of wealth, its happiness at
home, and its honor abroad. 4"
This wise declaration has been studiously
avoided in all its recent platforms, and the
exact contrary has been asserted. In 1892,
the party said: I'VE maintain that the
prosperous condition Of our country is due
to the wise revenue legislation Of the last
Republican Congress.
For generation or more the advocates
Of protectionism who control shat party
and plumber people Of all parties, have as
cribed the continuance Of prosperity to its
own legislation, thus giving the lie direct
to the Republicans Of 1860. What ingrates
and fakir the Republican bosses are

There was great show in Congress last
week when representative Mann undertook
to run small grocery store Of his own. land
demonstrated to. the House members some
Of the impositions that were practiced on
them. He had bottles of gin and whIskey,
Marischino cherries, olive oil, pepper, can
ned meats and vegetable, favoring extracts,
coffee and breakfast foods He showed
them to the House, measured them and
showed that they were short of weight and
bulk, showed also how they were dyed and
treated with chemicals and in short made a
pretty bad showing for a number Of firms
IN the food producing business. Nearly
all the samples that he had were things
that the average householder buys at least
once week from his groceryman, or eats
at the hotels and restaurants. He said
there was no objection to anybody who
choose eating them or eating fromaldehyde
or borax or anything else that they choose.
But what he did object to was having the
doctored food palmed off on the public as

nothing on the liable to show that the claim
was lie.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, d. c., June Is, 1906.
Once more the Department Of Justice has
stirred up trouble, and this time 1T is with
the Fertilizer Trust. 1t has been known
for some time that the Department. was on
the trail Of the trust, and that it prob
ably would land enough evidence to war
rant an Indictment But the results SO far
are rather beyond the expectations of even
the most sanguine octopus hunters. The
information had been laid before the United
States Circuit Court for the middle district
Of Tennessee, and is against the Virginia
California Chemical Company, ct al. The
others include twenty-fv defendant COM
panies with combined capital Of $780,
100000. The charges are vlolation'of the
Sherman antitrust law, and for conspiracy.
The penalty for the violation Of the Sher-
man law is 5000 and one year in jail,
while the penalty for conspiracy is as much
as $40, 900 and two years in jail.
No one expects that Jail sentence will

fashion to send trust magnates TO Jail, and
it is probable that the findings, as in the
Santa Fe cases, will be the individual Off
GERS of the companies are not guilty, but
that the corporations are the ones that haye
committed an offense. They therefore may
be fined, but it would be rather difficult to
put corporation in jail. So beyond the
moral effect that the prosecution may have,
there is not much TO be expected.
Is seems, according to reports, that the
combine operated in only eight states,
namely, North and South Carolina, Geor-
gia, Florida, Mississippi, Arkansas, Ala
bama and Tennessee. In the eight States
named il sold about 100000 tons of fer
iilizer a year, and by means of the COM
bination, it was enabled to put up she
price, from 81 so TO "a a ton more than it
should haYs been.
An indication of the way the prosecution
in this and other trust cases works, is that
the price Of fertilizer has dropped in the
suffering districts from So to So ton
already. This is confession that the
prices charged were extortionate. 1t is the
rule with government prosecutions that the
moral effect they have is greater than the
actual punishment inflicted on the corpora
tions.

The BOasted Equal Taxation.

The able Trenton correspondent of the
New York Herald fears that in all the new
legislation referring to equal taxation the
one thing lost sight Of is whether or not the
tax rate will be lowered to the average
citizen. That is the all-important question
and there is bound to be lots of dissatis
faction over she elaborate new bill in case
taxes are not made lower.
The writer says
There are fears that the boosted 'sequal
taxation" provided for by the Legislature
may not prove so gilt edged and beneficial
as the optinists have predicted. Theore-
tically the railroads are to pay the aver
age rate Of the State But what will that
be The machinery has been continued to
reduce this average to the lowest average
point. The property of the general tax
payer is to be assessed at lts true value.
This will mean an increase Of from forty to
fifty per cent. in the assessments The
county boards of taxation have been
created to see to il that this is done, and
they are clothed with power to enforce their
behests.
But will the tax rates be correspond
ingIy reduced If nos the general tax
payers viii suffer in exact proportion to
the failure to so reduce rates. OF course
the railroads and their political friends will
want the rates reduced because the railroad
tax will be the average rate, and the lower
this average the lower their rate and the
amount Of tax they will have to pay. But
while the machinery for increasing assess
ments to the constitutional true yalueu is
complete, shat for correspondinely reduced
rates is incomplete and defectiYe. It is
true that the new Hillery law will compel
a graduated reduction Of tax rates from
year to year until it reaches moderate
maximum, but il will tax . several years to
get down 10 that leyel if the delays allowed
by the law are aYailed Of In the mean
time property will be assessed at one hun
bred cents on the dollar, and paying twice
as much tax as when assessed as heretofore,
at an average Of fifty cents on the dollar.
The tax bills will tell the story. No rose
colored theories will fool the people as to
the size of their tax bills Is will be in
vain 60 boast OF the great things done to
bring about equal taxation if the people
find their tax bills heaYier than they were
before.

The Philadelphia Record sizes up the
situation in New Jersey by declaring that
ssthe fight for equal taxation will not be
won until the power of rating railway prop
erty shall be taken away from the corrupt
machine, which is mere political annex
to the railways and the Public Service
Corporation. Under existing circumstances
the Perkins equal tax law is gold
brick. The Records view is held by
many in the State, but there are large
number Of people waiting to receive their.
tax bills before making up their minds as
to the character of last winters legislation.
Then watch out for practically unani-
nous verdict. Newark News.
But down here tax billsare not given out
until after election, and unanimous YER
diets then, use the kind that carry no pen
alty for punishment of the criminal.

Record and "Carpet Dagger.
From New York Herald.

When the machine organs sneer at Geo.
L. Record as "a carpet Dagger in the Re-
publican partv," they are insulting the
thousands of former Democrats, who left
their party and joined the Republicans on
the Bryan issue, and who give the latter
their majority in this state. If all these
carpet baggeran were to go back to the
Democracy the Republican party would at
once go out Of power in New Jersey.
