REFORM TARIFF,
URGES JOHNSON
Governor Says
Revision Is Demo-
Gratis Hope.

NEW YORK, Jan. 3-In tariff reform,
based so as TO give all industries an
equal chance. Governor Johnson, Of
Minnesota, sees the opportunity of the
Democratic party IN the nation, accord
ing to an interview published in the
New York World. On that issue, the
governor declares. Democracy won her
only national victories in fifty years,
and it is vital today even more than
ever before. johnson takes a fling at
William Jennings Bryan in the follow
ing language:
NO man should be chosen as the
candidate for either President or Vice
President, because he represents some
particular idea or interest We should
have no more Henry Gassaway Davis
nominated because ne possessed a
barrel he was expected to open and did
not; no more men from Maine merely
because they were supposed to repre-
sent some local influence. The people
demand men who stand for sound pro-
gressive government and not for in
Cividual ideas: men who place the well
fare before the self~h ambition"
The governor declares emphaticdlly
for State rights, insisting that Federal
control incorporation. and regulation
of the big corporations IS a mistake.
Evils viii not be remedied. he says, uu-
til States which suffer from discrimina-
tion have the power and exercise II to
punish offending corporations.
He advocates both an income and in
heritance tax, praises the activity Of
President Roosevelt, and then says.
His attacks on pluncering corpora
lions are TO be commended; yet we mus
rot attack merely 10 destroy or prose
cute merely to legalize cOnfiscation.'
The great curse OF the country, tho
governor concludes. is fictitious valua-
tions. and he declares for legislation
that will prevent absolutely any SEM
blance of stock watering He opposes
TOO large" a navy, and declares against
imperialism stating he favOrs extend
ing the national boundaries from Pan
anna to the Arctic rather than by tax
ing island possessions elsewhere.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deaf ness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in1amed condition of the mucous lin- ing of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have rum bling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflamma- ton can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hear ing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an in1amed con- dtion of the mucous surfaces.
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure Send for circu- lars, free.

hibition forces in the assembly made an important attack on the opposi- tion today by the introduction in the house of a bill which provides for submitting the question of state wide prohibition to a vote of the people by congressional districts. There are seven districts. Heretofore the Pro- hibitionists have urged only prohibition
 throughout the state with the eX- ception of New Orleans, but it was announced today that they had united in support of the new measure.
 The bill is unusual from the fact that it is combination of referendum and of local option. By it's provisions the districts voting against the saloon would become 'dry," but whether or not the districts voting for the saloon would remain wet" would be deter mined by the total vote throughout the state.

BANKS MUST PAY
 INTEREST NOW
National Repositories Excepted, but There Is Outstanding About $72.OOO,. GOO of Government Funds Upon Which Holding Banks Must Pay.

Washington, June 5.-Under the terms of the new currency law, passed by congress in the closing hours of the last session, banks in which funds of the government are deposited must hereafter pay interest for use of such funds. An exception is made in the case of those banking associations des- ignated as national depositors, in which funds are placed strictly for the use of the governments own expenses There are outstanding about $72,O00,- 900 of government funds on which in- terest must be paid by banks and by an odd coincident a similar amount rests in Repositories not subject to the tax. It was stated at the treasury department yesterday that not only would the tax be charged on all de- posits of government money made in the future, but that the tax would be payable on funds already deposited in banks from the time the new law be- came effective The rate of interest chargable is not to be less than l per cent. and as much more as the secre- tary of the treasury may deem proper For the present. however, the probable rate of interest will be one per cent per annum.
 In the South and West each year huge sums of money are necessary to move the crops and government funds have frequently aided greatly in re- lieving the situation. During the re cent stringency, there was a cry for government funds from the crop cen ters. Hereafter banks must pay for money lent by the government to move crops.
 In the banks designated as regular depositores, the government deposits funds to carry on necessary eXpendl- tures of the government in various parts of the country. The government is benefited by lending the banks their money and in many cases it is said banks are not only anxious to De Repositories of government funds, but have asked 10 be excused from acting as Repositories, there has there fore been no tax placed npon these regular deposits.
