AWord Of Warnine.


AWord of Warning.
The Oommoner has called at
tention to the Hemiltonian tenden-
cy on the part of some Republican
leaders to obliterate state lines
This tendency must be guarded
against. for the state is the best
lprotector of the rights and the
best guardian of the interests of
the Citizen in local affairs It is
necessary. however, that Democrats
shall be on their guard against the
effort made by the monopolists to
use the state a bnlwark when at
tacked by the federal government
In our zeal for the protection of
the rights of the states we must
not allow wrongs to go unreme lied.
We must not allow the federal
government to remain inactive
where action is necessary In do.
mestic affairs the state is supreme;
in interstate commerce congress is
supreme. There is no neutral zone
fbetween these two spheres of 40
ton. When commerce CROSSES
the line of a state it becomes SUBJ
iect to the control of congress. and
congress must act in such matters
or the people are without redress.
There ought to be no conflict
between the state and the nation
in the attack upon predatory wealth.
The state should do all within its
power to protect the public. and
congress should exercise it's power
to the came end. The remedies
should be concurrent. It is more
than likely that the advocates OF
: Capitalization will seek to substi-
tute "a national remedy for the
remedies which are within the
power of the state. The Demo.
Gratis shonId see to it that the ma.
tional remedies are simply sup.
lemental and do not disable the
state. Congress is entirely within
its sphere when it attempts to fiz
the terms upon which a state cor.
! poration can engage in interstate
commerce. A state has right tc
! create corporations. and it has 6
} right to control the corporations
which it creates. and it ought tc
have the right to fix the terml
upon which an outside corporation
; does business within it's borders
but no state can object to condi
tions imposed by the federal gov
| eminent for the protection Of inter
state commerce.
Let the Democrats be on theil
| guard, therefore, fret, to see tina
the powers of the general govern
ment are employed to the full il

an account of 1t in quaint little

The cane originally belonged to the

TAX COLLECTOR HOLT AND
CHAIRMAN HUSTACE IN CORES
PONDENCE OVER DELINQUENTS

The Board Of Supervisors met last
night, and the meeting was one of the
quietest that they have ever had. Only
one matter caused any discussion at
all and that was a letter from Tax
Assessor Holt in reply to letter from
Chairman Hustace, stating that the
Board would be willing to pay 10 per
cent commission on all delinquent per-
sonal taxes collected by special deputies
from the several voting districts. The
matter was taken up by the Board, and
Sam Johnson stated that as no repre-
sentative of the Tax Office was present
when he paid his men off, he could not
take out their taxes, but If one was pre-
sent he would see that they were paid.
Hustace wished to appoint special de-
puties to collect the taxes, but it was
decided to consult the County Attorney
before the matter was finally decided
upon.
