TIE TARIFF.
Should Not Be Touched Unit! After
preSii ential Election.

This country is definitely committed
to the protective system, and any eff
fort to uprOOt it could not but cause
widespread Industrial disaster In
other words, the principle of the pres
cnt tariff law could not with wisdom
he changed. But in country of such
phenomenal growth as ours it is prob
ably we'll that every dozen years or Sc
the tariff laws should be carefully scru-
tiniZed, SO as to see that no excessive
or improper benefits are conferred
thereby, that proper revenue is pro-
Tvided and that our foreign trade is ell
couraged. There must always be rs
q minimum q tariff which will not only
ALLOW for the collection Of an ample
revenue, but which will at least make
good the difference in cost Of prOduc-
ton here and abroad that is. the diff
ference in the labor cost here and
abroad, for the well being Of the wage
worker must ever be cardinal point
of American policy. The question
/ should be approached purely from a
business standpoint both the time and
the manner Of the change being such
as to arouse the minimum Of agitation
and disturbance in the business world
and to give the least play for selfish
and factional motives. The sole con-
sideration should be to see that the

above the amount subject to the next
lower rate. so that each increase of
rate will apply only to a certain
amount above a certain maximum.
The tax should if possible be made to
bear more heavily upon those residing
without the country than within it. A
heavy progressive tax upon a very
large fortune is in no way such a tax
upon thrift or industry as a like tax
would be on small fortune No adj
vantage comes either to the country as
whole or to the individuals inheriting
the money by permitting the transmits
sion in their entirety Of the enormous
fortunes which would be affected by
such tax, and as an incident to it's
function of revenue raising such tax
would help to preserve a measurable
equality of opportunity for the people
of the generations growing to man
hood. We have not the slightest sym
pathy with that socialistic idea which
would try to put laziness, thriftleSs-
ness and ineMclency Oh par with in
dustry, thrift and efficiency, which
would strive to break up not merely
private property, but. what is far more
Important, the home the chief prop
upon which our whole civilization
stands. Such a theory, II ever adopt
ed. would mean the ruin OF the entire
country-a ruin which would bear
heaviest upon the weakest, upon those
least able to shift for themselves But
proposals for legislation such as this
herein advocated are directly opposed
to this class of socialistic theories. Our
aim is to recognize what Lincoln point
ed out-the fact that there are some
respects in which men are obviously
not equal. but also to insist that there
should be an equality Of self respect
and of mutual respect. an equality Of
rights before the law and at least an
approximate equality in the conditions
Under which each man obtains the
chance to show the stuff that is in him
when compared to his fellows.
A few years ago there was loud COM
llaint that the law could not be in
roked against wealthy offenders. There
$ no such complaint now. The course

NO HITCH IN PAYING.
Santa Fe Employees Get Their Money
Today as Usual.

Today is Santa Fe pay day for the
shopmen, trainmen and several other
operating departments Of the road and
the pay roll for employees who receive
their checks in Topeka will amount to
between two hundred and fifty and
three hundred thousand dollars. This
pay roll which is by far the largest in
the state is being taken care of just
as it was before the eastern fnanciers
were stricken panicitis and the checks
cashed by the treasurer of the road and
the banks.
Everything is running smoothly"
said Treasurer Copeland of the Santa
Fe I'VE have paid just as we always
have and our employees are being taken
care of by the banks and merchants to
their entire satisfaction L understand
that the merchants have been FURNISH

accounts Just as though panic mao

some clearing house certificates are pc
ing used but where man desires the
currency he is accommodated.
1t was to meet this monthly payment
of the salaries that the clearing house
of topeka issued certificates, though
but a small portion of the issue was
ever placed with the banks and much OF
this was never passed over their coun-

Senator Robertson, President, Here
Making the Arrangements.

Senator Robertson, who is also
president of the Coyville State bank,
which was forcod to close by the
Bankers Trust crash, is in Topeka to-
day making preparations to reopen his
bank.
1--WE have secured purchasers for
nearly all the stock which the Bank
ers' Trust held, and we believe that
we can soon find purchasers for the
remainder. The bank is perfectly SOL
vent, and all that is necessary is to get
the stock out of the hands of the re-
ceiver for the Bankers Trust. We
want Bank Commissioner Royce to
allow US to resume business, and at
tend to the sale of the remainder of
the stock later"
Senator Robertson expressed the
opinion that there would be no special
session of the legislature. Whats

whether we could do anything with
the primary law"
Representative Guyer of Stafford
county was also in Topeka today and

Guyer, "that I was in favor of a spe-
cial session. I"believe it<would do

be a good thing. for the state. The

ORCHARD IS EXCUSED.
Judge Goddard Testifes in the Petit
bone Case.

Boise, Idaho, Dec. 16.-Clarence Oar
row was Ill and unable to be in court
at the Pettibone trial today and the
asking of impeaching questions of Or
chard was postponed until tomorrow
when 1t was assured barrow could be
present.
Orchard was called to the stand, how
ever, and Edgar Wilson for the de-
tense, asked If Pettibone was present
in Idaho when Governor Steunenberg
was Killed. On receiving a negative
answer Wilson presented two motions
to the court, one that the testimony of
orchard in regard to crimes alleged to
have been committed in Colorado, be
stricken from the record for the reason
that they did not tend to connect the
defendant with the crime charged and
the other that testimony in regard to
the Occur D'Alene troubles in 1899, be
stricken out for the same reason. The
motions were overruled and Orchard
was excused. The state then proceeded
with its corroborative evidence and
Judge Luther NJ. Goddard, of the su-
preme court of Colorado was called.
Senator -Borah conducted the exami-
nation and the witness was asked con-
corning the finding OF a bomb near the
gate of his residence. Judge Goddard
said that after Orchards confession he
was informed by Mcfarland, that a
bomb had been planted and that in the
presence of himself and three other
witnesses, General Bulkely Wells loca-
ted it at the point designated by Or
chard. Judge Goddard told of taking
the 40 sticks of giant powder found in
the box to the country and exploding
them. The box in which the powder
was found, the screw eye and the paper
in which the bomb was wrapped were
introduced in evidence. On cross-ex-
animation Wilson endeavored to go into
the political record of the witness, but
was limited by objections by the state
which were sustained by the court and
little information was gained.

RAIN OR SNOW TOMORROW.
General Unsettled Weather Condition
Prevails Over Middle West.

Topeka is not exempt from the un-
settled weather conditions which have
prevailed from the Atlantic to the
Pacific for the past week though there
has been neither snow or rain in this
locality during the past Is hours. The
reports received at the government
weather station indicate that Topeka
is one of the few portions of the coun-
try favored with ordinarily good
weather at this time. Cold weather
with snow prevails on all sides of this
end of the state and even western
Kansas is coming in for a share of
cold disagreeable weather while the
ground is partially covered with snow.
The temperature in Topeka has
been considerably above normal when
compared with that of districts near
by. The general unsettled weather
conditions of the country are expected
to prevail for several days and as long
as this condition prevails the weather
in this city will remain unsettled and
there is a chance that there will be
rain or snow tonight or tomorrow.
The following are the temperatures
recorded since O'Clock TODAY.

closed their membership contest Sat
urday evening as they didn't want to
quit On Friday the 18th" The work

to hold their own against the splendid
work done by the men last Friday.

awarded to Amos Poole who brought
in $500 on membership. The Sc
ond prize of $500 went to Harmon
Drum who secured fifty points. Har-

that nothing but the Grim Reaper will
