THE STATES INCOME.

In reply TO the proposal OF Tho
: Htmes- Dispatch that personal property
be exempted from State taxation
and that by way of compensation each
county and city be required TO pay its
OWN criminal expenses, the Lynchbura
News repeats its former question, to.
wit:
What is to become Of the rural
Schools in perhaps more than one half
of our counties, which, ii taxed TO
tbe full constitutional limit could not
upon present assessed valuation rem
der anything like adequate service?"
The report OF the Auditor of Public
Accounts for 1907 shows that the in.
come of the State from capitaton taxes
and the taxes on realty, personality
income and railroads is S3,491,Tl3.20
against sS.eS7,4S5.57 in 1906, an in
crease of scos,ec7s3.
Our former calculation was based on
the revenues of 1900. The tax on per
sonalty for 1907 yielded an income OF
,5a6ool.ae. Deduct 100000 for crimi-
nal expenses. and there would be n
net loss of se36,0ol.52. Deduct the net
loss from the States income MS above
in 1907, and there would remain the
sun of sa,a5b,7l26S. Deduct the cost o;
assessing personal property. ana the
State would have in 1907 an Income
& romewhat greater than that OF 1906
On this basis the state could continue
under the plan We propose, to make
the same appropriations to publ,
schools That she made IN 1906
Aside from this, IL Is said that tbs
state now has surplus OF more thar

to the public school fund under IT,,

thirds of the cities and nearly nine
tenths OF The counties would be abb
to Increase their local levy for sehoo
purposes.

Taylor.
rrr oppoRruNlTY or zoos.

Somebody recently asked what the
Democrats were going to do in 19os,
md somebody else replied that they
were going to find out what was the
wrong thing to do and do IT.
But why should they? Why is It
recessarv to make a blunder? Why
should a great opportunity be thrown
away? The Republicans are having
lively fight In their own camp. me
Republican household is divided
against itself. There are more EN-
tanglements and enmities than we have
ever known to exist in that ordinar-
lily close corporation. With RooseVeit
as candidate the various contend
ing clements might have been mar
ulonized." With Roosevelt ont of the
race, the differences between the sew
eral elements seem to us to be ire
sconcilable. If Roosevelt names the
candidate. the anti-Roosevelt element
will at best give him but half.
hearted support, and there are many
independent voters of great influence
b
who would be as much afraid OF
Roosevelts man and as hostile to him
as they are afraid of and hostile to
Roosevelt himself. The men who
would not support Roosevelt would
hardly support candidate who would
run as Rooscvclts man.
On the other hand. if the Roose.
Welt ticket is defeated In the con-
vention, it is not to be expected that
the enthusiastic followers OF the
President would strain their legs
running to the polls. In either event
Republican prospects will not be SO
bright by any means as they were
in 1900 or in 1901.
Aside from this, we believe that
a majority of the voters of this ma
tion are tired of Republican rule
and would like to see change.
They will watch with more than or
binary interest the outcome OF the
convention at Denver. They will
take particular note of the nominee
and more particular note of the
platform. If both appeal to all the
Democratic voters of the nation,
and to considerable number of the
independent vGters, the Democratic
ticket will be elected by rousiug
majority.
Why may not the convention make
and promulgate such platform, and
why may it not find such candidate!
Why blunder, when the opportunity is
not only knocking at the door, bu,
pressing against It? Why?

The WOolnE of the Wind.
Once on time In a garden fair
Fed by sunshine and summer air,
There budded and bloomed a rose SO
rare.
There was never her like in lowell
ness.
Her heart was white. but her petal
tips
Were deeper dyed. as tho their lips
Had drunk OF the crimson drop that
drips
From the bleeding hearts deep dis
tress.
Diamonds and pearls Of dew, there
lay
Hidden deep in her heart away.
On her petals there shone the redder
OF rub1ss Of dew with their passion
The sunshine tempered each glowing
SO that, tho they kissed her one bright
No Jewel she wore was shaken away
And all things living tried to please
This rosebud fair-flowcrs and trees:
And many time came the summer
To pay gentle homage to her.
Than these she had still a sutton be-
| side,
The strong wind came by on his roll
| licking ride,
And boldly he wood her to make her
And he thought not how slight roses
are.
So boldly lie wooed her, she yielded
hut when she had yielded his passion
| was past. &
Her strength he had broken. her jewels
he cast
At her feet. and then left her alone,
The trees they sighed softly, and set
was the sun,
And slowly the stars came out one by
| one;
And darkness wrapt all things, for
night was begun:
But looking for roses the wind blew
On--On.
