AN APPEAL TO
the PEOpLE

The original and fundamental idea
OF the American system of govern
ment is that the aggregate take
gathered from the people should be
Kept within the limits required Iy
necessary expenditures. while the A.
spring motive and chief objection al
our entire system. national and state
has been to get larger taxes fro
the great body of taxpayers without
any reference to the necessity OF
character of the expenses that have
made them necessary. While i'm ots
own state. during the whole agitaticl
OF the tax question, the interests al
one class of taxpayers has been skill
fully played against that OF another
under the specious pretense of equal.
izing tax burdens, there has not bee
a single genuine effort to tighten th,
taxes of the people. which could hay-
been so readily and easily accom-
plished by reducing the annual legis.
lative appropriations that have grow
to such enormous and unnecessar
proportions since the Republican
have been in control of the state.
Reform Tax" is nothing more than
pretext to cover the tremendou
OUTLAWS of public revenue that have
grown continually larger since the
Republican party came into power in
the state.
In message sent TO the legisla.
at
panying the report of the State Tax
Commissioner appointed in 1901. Gov
ernor White said:
1t being necessary to obtain more
revenue Tor state purposes and de
sirable TO amend the laws CONCERNING
the subjects, rate, assessments. col
lection and disbursements OF taxes I'm
Itself as well as incidental to the
principal object of increasing tho
state revenue, led the legislature 30
appoint Tax Commission, etc"
Thus ii is admitted that the real
object of tampering with the state
tax laws was TO obtain more money.
and this has been extravagantly
aquandered.
The Democratic party believes thai
well directed, frugally and econ
omically administered government f.
the best fruit of genuine statesman
ship, and that if the state govern
nent were so administered expendi-
lures would be so reduced that the
taxes of all the people of the con-
nonwealth would be lessened. instead
OF being increased, as they now are.
under the pretense of being equal
lied.
1t is believed also that no single
result would be followed with greater
benefits to the whole people of the
state than the complete overthrow
and rout of the present state kousa
Machine.
In the hope of being able to carry
out its aspirations to provide a pure.
efficient and economical state govern.
ment, the Democratic party present.
for the various Offices a ticket CON.
posed of gentlemen of the highesi
public and private character, deeply
sensible OF official obligations, and
eminently qualified to discharge the
duties of the position to which they
aspire.

HARTMAN Makes
CHEERING talk
COUNTRY HAS MORE DEVELOP
MENT TO MAKE AND THE PEG
PIE ARE HERE TO MAKE IT
NO DIVIDENDS NEED BE CUT.

NEW YORK, Feb. 13.-That such
reports were silly was the only COM
ment that E. H. Hartman would
make yesterday when asked about
the rumor which has been current
in Wall street that the dividend on
Union Pacific stock would be cut at
the coming meeting.
Il cannot be expected to forecast
the action of the directors" re-
marked he. THE rumors are silly.
Times are dull and people have
nothing better to do than make up
rumors." ~, - ~
In other quarters the report was
discredited that there would be any
change in the dividend rate of the
Union Pacific, Those who took the
stand that no change was likely
pointed to the fact that the net
earnings of the road, although some
what reduced recently, are still
much in excess of the amount re-
CURED to maintain the 10 per cent
dividend.
Discussing general conditions,
Mr.. Hartman said yesterday:
THE country has a great deal
more ahead of it than it has berhnd
it. All that is needed is confidence
There are the resources under the
ground and on the ground and there
are the people to develop these re-
sources and with the disposition to
do so, The restoration Of complete
confidence is all that is necessary.

Toppenish.-It has remained for
an aged Yakima Indian to discover
the method of administering such a
warning as will keep his clipping
daughter and prospective son-in-law
from returning home to seek for
giYeness as we'll as board and lodg-
ing. The scene was laid in one of
the remote parts of the reservation,
where the aged Indian lived with
two married daughters, their hus-
bands and a daughter just budding
into womanhood. A short time ago
young Umatilla brave visited that
part of the reserve, and a strong at
tachment soon sprang up between
the two young Indians. The old
man rejected his suit, so the Una
tllla induced his sweetheart to elope
with him Mounted upon swift 90
MES, thew started from the ranch,
and when about mile away the old
Indian started in pursuit with his
winchester rife, When within a
quarter of mile of the truant cou
pie he commenced firing and soon
omptying his gun Started for home.
Explaining to a white man who wit
messed the escapade, he said he did
not want to catch them, but only to
scare them SO they would not come
