An Election Bet
That Can't Lose

OMAHA, Neb., Aug. 10.-Col. I.
c. Gallup has worked out the prob
lem How to bet on election with
out losing"
Right after Bryan was nominated
Gallup sent 81 900 to Philadelphia
to bet on Bryan against $4,000 of
Taft money.
Then he sent $4,000 to Portland,
Ore, where the betting was at even
money. Here he bet his $4,000 on
Taft
Now if Bryan wins, Gallup loses
the $1,000 he sent to Portland, but
he wins $4,000 in Philadelphia-put-
ting him $4,000 to the good.
If Taft wins Gallup loses his
81 900 Philadelphia bet, but the
$4,000 he will win in Portland will
put him $1,000 in the clear.
So the colonel, who is an auction
eer at the big South Omaha stock
yards, can vote the prohibition tick
ct without disturbing his sure
thing frame-up.

it is stated that no species of property
shall be taxed higher than other prop
erty of the same species. 1t is claimed
that the constitution is also violated in
that every citizen is to have all the
privileges and immunities of every
other citizen in the state.
It's further alleged in the bill that
the act of the legislature providing for
back tax assessments is in violation OF
the constitution OF the state. 1t states
that the act of the legislature prouides
that the trustee shall be the Judge to
pass on the back assessment method,
the trusteee gets five per cent. OF such
increase. The bill then points out that
the constitution says that no Judge
shall preside where he is interested in
the outcome of the suit.
1t is set that the statue of the state
imposing fifteen per cent. penalty when
property is inadequately assessed and
is babk assessed by the trustee, is un
constitutional in that it makes the tax

In the Administration Of
the States Affairs
BY GOVERNOR PATTERSON.
Nashville American and Chatta-
rooga Star Approve of the
Reckless" Expenditures

In the course of an editorial advocat-
ing the election of Gov. Patterson, the
Nashville American says
Tennessee has never prospered un-
der republican administration; it has
under democratic. Tillman says Pat
terson has been extravagant, but his
extravaganza, if it can be so called, has
been lndorsed by democrats, and they
pay the greater part of the taxes in this
state. The alleged extravaganza that
troubles Mr.. Tillman's soul is all due
to the demands of the people. The
money has gone to the states institu-
tions, to the Confederate soldiers, and
toward the liquidation of the state debt.
1t has been on the point of our
tongue, or pen, or something like that,
for long time to say that the Patter,
son administration has not been ex'
travagant; that practically all the
charges of this nature against the ad
ministration have been brought for po
litical effect by candidates for office, OF
made by we'll meaning people who were
misinformed by these candidates.
A great deal of money was appropri
ated by the last legislature to defray
the expenses of the state government
and for other purposes, but we have
yet to see these critics of the governor
uncover one appropriation that seemed
unnecessary or too large. In a few in
stances salaries of underpaid official
were increased, thing that ought tC
have been done long time ago, Blu
it was not in this manner that appro
priations were increased. They wer'
increased to pay for necessary state i'm
provements, and it may be added tina

INJUNCTION SOUGHT.
Johnson County Back
Tax Cases Argued
BEFORE JUDGE SANFORD.
This Suit Attacks the Constitution
ality OF the Back Tax Law
of State of Tennessee

Judge G. J. st. John and r. E. Don
nelly have returned from Knoxville,
where on Saturday they made the mo-
ton for an injunction in the back tax
cases now pending from johnson coun-
ty.
The suit attacks the constitutionality
Of the back tax law of Tennessee and
raises the question for the United
States authorities to settle for the non.
residents of Tennessee who are inter
ested.
The actual sum envolved in single
case is $4, 1882 and the company
which is co-defendant with the county
of johnson is the Tennessee Lumber
and Manufacturing company.
The bill sets out that the average
assessment of lands in johnson county
is on the baises of SO. 65 per acre. 1t is
assessed in the bill that as a matter of
fact, the farm lands are worth from $l5
to $40 per.acre. The property of the
defendant, it is alleged, is made up of
mountain lands with practically no
value other than its timber value. 1t
is set out that the trustee valued the
property on the assessments in 1906 at
81. SO per acre, at 81 in 1906 and at So. 50
in 1907, Notwithstanding, it is claimed,
there has been removed from the land
a good deal of the timber.
Most of the tax payers of johnson
county, it is asserted, are let off with
the payment of taxes on one-third Of
the value of the property and few
concerns had been singled out to pay
taxes on the full value of the property
1t is charged that the alleged in

This from the Philadelphia Record;
occasionally we have presidents in
the United States who play such fan
tastic tricks before high heaven that we
feel our wise forefathers were abund-
antly justified in cutting down the
presidential term of Office to four years.
If the forefathers were to do the thing
over, in the light of recent experience,
they would probably make the presi-
dental incumbent ineligible for a sec
ond term"

spent on the states property at Nash
Vile with good results. Buying and
paying for property that is worth the
purchase price, and that the the state
needs, is not extravagance in admins
tration. Improving, beautifying and
caring for the state capitol and
grounds are in no sense a waste of
money and time.
Purchasing and maintaining a home
for the Governor does not imply will
full waste of public money. Providing
for the Stats institutions, as they
ought to be provided for is no crime.
On the other hand it is progressive
government. Caring for Confederate
soldiers is merely the discharge of a
duty we owe them. Putting money
into peblic schools is tide best invest
ment that people con make, and Gov
ernor Patterson has advised and ap.
proved "reckless" expenditures in that
direction. How can such expenditures
be ',reckless?" The payment of the
state debt is not waste of money. 1t
is not extravagant administration.
The whole truth of the matter is that
Governor Patterson has had the cour-
age to pvt the institutions of the state
in Just little better financial shape
lhan they they have ever been before
to lift them to a somewhat higher
plane and thereby increase their USE
fulness. He has likewise had the cour,
age to sign bills that Governors before
him were not willing to sign, notwith-
standing the fact that every one Of
them admitted that they were necessary
to the comfort of the Governors and
the dignity of the state. We have ref
erence to the Governors mansion bills
and the appropriations for the Capitol
annex, and improvements on Capitol
Hill. These purchases and improve
ments ought to have been made long
ago, and we have held it to Governor
Patterson's credit that he took all the
responsibility for some of them. Mr.
Tillman may harp on "extravagance,
but he will not put finger on many
appropriations, but can be depended
on the ground of public necessity or il
behalf of good public policy.-Chat
