lNCENDlARY TALK.

Every reader of this paper, and
every friend, neighbor and shopmate
whom he can influence, should at once
write a letter to Judge Frank z.
Smith, of Caldwell, Idaho, and re-
quest that he release on bail comrades
Meyer, Haywood and Pettibone =.
In addition to this, take it up in
your union and socialist local, and
pass resolutions to the same effect,
and forward them to Judge Smith.
The above is taken from the last
issue of the Appeal to Reason, the or
gan of the Western Federation and
socialists, published at Girard, Kan
sas. A more hrazen attempt to intlm1-
date the judiciary has rarely come
under our notice. If this does not
come within the law of contempt of
court it is hard to tell what does. 1t
is plainly aimed to overawe the Judge
in the discharge OF his duty by the
sheer weight of numbers. Such are
the ideas of governmental reform held
by the socialists. Meyer and his COM
rades are held for murder, an oHense
of an unbailable kind.
Here is another excerpt from the
same source concerning the proceed
ings of the recent annual convention
of the Western Federation.
''BoIdIy and fearlessly, like the
crave, manly men they are, the dele
gates to the miners convention threw
craven conservatism to the winds and
unsheathed their swords in mortal
combat with plutocracy for the social
and economic rights of those who
toll. They have decreed that there
shall be no halting, no compromise,
and no retreat in the struggle. 1t is
fight between the working class and
the capitalist class. Every delegate
to the convention pledged himself to
make it finish fight until one or the
other of the contending forces shall
stand untrammelled and supreme.
The weapons will be agitation, organ
ization, education, ballots, and if
necessary, bullets. -
This means that armed rebellion
will be the ultimate appeal in carry
ing out their program, if peaceful
methods fail of success. And this
melting to rebellion is tolerated
under our laws. Furthermore, the
United States mails are resorted to
and used in this propaganda to under
mine the existing order of things.
Amador ledger., 1906-07-06
DemagogiC Appeals.

Wilford Dennis, of Sutter Creek,
who is an independent aspirant for
the office of assessor, has formulated
a sort of platform of principles, or
rather declaration of policy, upon
which he appeals for the support of
the voters. Here is the gist of his
published platform:
The present tax list of Amador
county amounts to a trihe over five
million dollars. If | am elected |
will Immediately proceed to assess
the wealthy mining corporations
for practically what they are worth
in the open market, but in no event
would | assess them for less than five
million dollars. This will double the
amount of taxable property inAmador
county, and as we do not need any
more money to run the county govern
ment than we have used iE preceding
years, the board of supervisors Will be
able to give one dollar rate per hun
dred, and in this way cut the taxes of
the farmer, small merchant, property
holders and working men practically
in half.
1t is hardly possible to take such a
declaration seriously. 1t is Doubtless
the widest program ever laid down
by local aspirant. We do not quote
it because of any danger OF the voters
grasping at such bait, III the hope
of relief from taxpaying. A few
voters who like dreamIand as a place
of abode, may imagine there is some
thing worthy of consideration in it.
But these are few and far between,
and are difficult to reach with sound
argument. But the object aimed at
is plain. The mine owners are few in
number, as compared with the voters
generally. Now by proposing to
cinch the few mine owners for the
benefit of all other taxpayers, the
masses will be tickIed into voting for
the new departure. We do not deem
the program deserving of discussion.
Property owners are not TO be caught
with such claptrap utterances, know
ing that the plan is utterly impractic-
able and thoroughly dish onest.
Furthermore the conclusion reached
the actual benefit to the taxpayers
generally by the doubling-up process
against the mining industry-is far
fetched and delusion. 1t is fatal
error from governmental standpoint
to imagine that boosting of the
assessment roll means a correspond
ing reduction in the tax rate. The
history of Amador county for the
past decade is a refutation of such
an Idea. As a matter of fact, we
have nearly doubled up on our assess
ment roll, as compared with twenty
years ago, and the tax rate is much
higher today than it was then.
Arbitrarily stutting the assess ment
roll affords no remedy; it invariably
fails of its object. We shall never
