Among the recent callers was Mrs.

While THE ARGUS is discussing
the tax question for this year ii
fails to note a flood which dam
aged the roads and bridges in
Preston county to the amount of
100000 and the extension Of the
school term from a five TO a six

Of course it would have met these
requirements on the same terms

= TIE ARGUS feels sorry that its
organic contemporary has been
knocked off its high pedestal of
"tax reform" by the floods and
the extension of the school term,
which compels it to seek refuge
behind its own admonition to THE
ARGUS to not "wiggle-waggle." 1t
is really too bad that Providence
opened the floodgates and in
creased our taxes. OF course the
increasein the state appropriations
from 100000 to SO, 100000 had
nothing to do with the increase in
our taxes.
Every prediction which THE
ARGUS has made concerning the
workings of the fake tax laws has
been most accurately fulfilled,
even to the prediction that the
"tax reformers" would blame the
Hand that rules the universe.
If the Journal is seeking the
real cause for the increase in tax.
alton it has only to inquire of those
who are responsible for passing
laws prohibiting the county courts
from levying sufficient in 1906 to
meet the state, county, and district
expenditures. Had the courts been
allowed to levy sufficient in 1906
to have repaired the roads and
bridges they would have with.
stood the floods much better and
the damage would have been in.
significant. But the "tax reform.
ers" were willing to let the coun
ty roads and bridges go to the
bowwows so eager were they to
make a slight showing in the re,
duction of taxation to help them
to elect their candidates in 1906.
This year they were compelled to
levy or show a deficit and 90 fur.
ther in the hole.
An increase of 8 cents for roads
and o cents for teachers is not
going to cover the increase in the
tax receipts.
THE ARGUS would suggest tc
It's organic contemporary that il
be frank enough to tell its readers
it has been the victim of over-con
hdence III the representations Of
the statehouse machine; that il
finds the reduction which it prom.
ised the deluded followers of the

corporations. This is the manly
thing to do and it will obviate

oYsTERMEN DECLARE WAR
Planters Claim Discrimination in
Rentals by the State.

ATLANTIC CITY, Mar. 15:-War
has been started by the oyster plant
ers of Atlantic county against what
they claim is unfair discrimination on
the part of the state.
Under present ruling oyster plant
ers say that they are forced to pay
more rent to the state than planters
in other sections. Through Senator
Lee, of Atlantic City, they will offer
an amendment to the present law
whereby they hope to have the rent
reduced to so cents an acre, which is
all that Ocean county planters are
asked to pay
They will also make an attempt to
have clammers permitted to use un-
occupied oyster grounds.
At a meeting of the planters yes

elected: President. William Dennis;
secretary, John w. Conover; treas
hrer. John W. Conoyer.

BRYAN GOES TO BOSTON
Nebrnsl<an Talks Railroad Situa-
ton and Conference.

tiOn and Conference.
NEW YORK, March 15.-William ].
Bryan arrived here from the west,
where he had been lecturing, and left
later for Boston to give lecture there.
He was met by a number of reporters
to whom he talked freely of the rail
road situation.
Mr.. Bryan was first asked what he
believed to be the significance of the
conference of the railroad presidents
at Washington with President Roose
welt.
Il do not know anything about the
conference except what | have seen in
the papers," he said but it seems
that the railroad presidents would pre-
fer congressional control to that of
the various state legislatures. The
state legislatures are nearer to the peo-
pie and more responsive to public SEN
timent. The recent legislation shows
this. So far the main effect of the
rate bill passed by congress has been
TO prevent rebates, and while this is
good for the business communities it
is also good for the railroads, because
it leaves in their treasures the money
they used to give to favored ship
pers The states have begun to reduce
rates, which is of advantage to the
entire public, and the railroads begin
to talk of amending the federal con
stitution so as to protect them from
state interference.
This is not strange. but interesting,
in that 1t furnishes an answer to those
who have been suggesting that the
doctrine of state rights is being used as
a shield by the railroads to protect
themselves from federal prosecution.
The fact is that the big yiolators of
the law always try to get their cases
into the United States courts, and the
big corporations are desiring national
corporation that they may escape state
legislation"
