ought to be directly and candidly taken
away as are the tools of burglar.
1t ought never to be.taxed out of ex-
istence. Taxation can never be sus-
tanned for any but public purpose.
and the money derived thereform can
never be used for any but public
purpose Therefore if governmental
exactions are imposed for the purpose
of reducing Individual possessions. the
act is not taxation. but confscation.
If the object of tax is to pay the
cost of some legitimate public under
taking then the tax is valid hut if
the object of tax is TO reduce in
dividuaf wealth then il is invalid.
Taxation ought ALWAYS to conserve
wealth rather than destroy it. 1t
ought always TO encourage the ac-
cumulation of property rather than
destroy the accumulation. For obvious
ly il is upon the individual possessions
state that taxation must thrive. With
these considerations before us. honor
able Judges, is il to be wondered at
that few of our statesman favor such
tax? Mr.. Bryan certainly not con-
sentative. has never in any of his writ
ings or speeches favored such tax
Governor Hughes. Governor Folk,
Senator La Toilette. and Governor
Johnson have never favored tax on
swollen fortunes. And secretary Taft
in his speech of August 18th, 1907, at
ColumS Gus Ohio, in which he sounded
the keynote of his candidacy for the
highest officer of the nations and said I;
'If we are to have a tax on swollen
fortunes it should be levied not by the
national. but by the state govern
ments 4" We of the negative have the
weight on our side
Weigh then if you will, honorable
judges the plan.of the swollen fortune
tax advocate and the law enforcement
advocate. On one hand you have a
useless governmental interference,
business decentralization and strong
trend toward socialism; on the other
hand you have law enforcement. nom
interference. and everything that tends
TO operate for, conserve. bring about
the peace, prosperity. and happiness
of every American citizen.

In a very spirited as well as inter.
esting debate with Olivet college or
last Friday evening. May 1st, Alma
won the unanimous decision of the
judges The Alma team composed OF
George p. Horst. Alexander Sayles
and Irwin Z Bradheld with their
coach, Prof. J. O. Adams are to be
congratulated on the excellent debate
and victory. From the time that Savles
opened the debate with his powerful
prohibition argument TO the time that
Horst closed the contest with his elo-
quent rebuttal on double taxation
there was not dull moment The
Olivet team did good work and gave
the boys hard victory, but Alma
proved the stronger in both argument
and delivery
The judges for the debate were Hon.
Arthur futile. of Lansing, a prom
inent attorney at-law and member of
the Michigan Legislature, Supt L G.
WARMERS. of the Saginaw East Side
Public Schools, and Mr. William A.
Bahlke of this city. Judge Kelly s.
Searle of the Circuk Court at Ithaca
had been selected as third Judge but
owing to judicial matters, was unable
to act
Prof James f. Mitchell ably acted
as presiding officer at the debate while
Prof. J. 7. Ewing and Mr. Baker of
Olivet. otficiated as timekeepers. The
invocation was given by Acting Presi-
dent Notestien. Several excellent
musical numbers were rendered before
and after the debate.
The men that composed the Olivet
team we're Harvey NJ. Swift, Clarence
II Weed. and A. Lincoln Barker.
All three win graduate in June.
Messrs. Barker and Weed have been
in Alma several times before, repre-
senting their college on athletic teams.
They are fine gentlemen and Alma
was fortunate In having the oppor-
tunity of entertaining such representa-
tive college men.
After the debate a reception was
given the Olivet team and judges In
Wright Hall. 1t was at this time
that word came from Olivet to the
effect that the Alma team won the
decision there. Naturally enthusiasm
ran high for minute. After refresh
ments had been served, Mr. Graves,
acting as toastmaster called for short
talks from Mr. futile and Prof War
liner of the judges. Mr.. Weed of the
Olivet team and Mr.. Horst of the Al
ma team. A veil was given for the
teams then the reception drew to a
close.

Ladies' and Gentlemen -
desire to call your attention at

That we have many such fortunes

The decision of the judges was two
to one in favor of the negative team.
Prof. Lancaster announced the de-

for the debaters and the students TO

CLEVELAND CAUGHT
in THE FAILURE

NEW YORK, Jan. lit was de-
veloped that eX-President Grover
Cleveland was one of the unfortun-
ates who had an account with the
Knickerbocker Trust Company. What
the amount of Mr.. Cleveiand's bal
ance is with the trust company was
not disclosed.
In letter to the Satterlee de-
positors' committee, Mr.. Cleveland
said:
Il suppose tn assignment of my
deposit account against the trust
company, heretofore transmitted to
the committee, has placed me among
those who have given attention
enough to their predicament as de-
positors to be convinced that they
can better rely upon the plan adopt
ed by the committee for relief than
upon the slow expensive, wasting
and always disappointing procedure
of legal receivership.
The Satterlee committee, which is
striving to get enough depositors to
assent to its reorganization plan to
make the opening of the Knicker-
booker Trust Company possible, has
got but one more week. when the
temporary receivership will expire.
Unless substantially all of the deposit
tors have assented by Saturday next
it is believed that Supreme Court
Justice Clark will have to make the
receivership permanent

ACQUITTED BUT
LOSES The LOOT

SEATTLE, Jan. 14.-Judge c. H.
Hanford of the United States Circuit
Court has refused to return to Peter
Waltere $500 which was found in the
left shoe of the latter when arrested
several days ago for completely in the
robbery of the postoffice at Baker,
Wash. Waltere was acquitted, but
the court refused to give him the
money Waltere claims that he
found the $500 near the postoffice
after the robbery and that the money
is his. not by right of earning, but
by luck. The money is now in pos
session of the court, where it will re-
main until some one can come for
ward and establish beyond all ques-
ton of doubt that it is theirs. The
United States district attorney as
serts that the money was part of the
loot taken from the robbed office.

will establish a claim.

RAWHIDE
miner SUCCUMBS

D. A. Shannon, who was injured
in blast while working his mining
property at Rawhide last month,
died at the Nevada Hospital, Reno,
yesterday afternoon as a result of his
injuries. But little hope was enter
tanned at any time for his recovery
and as last resort an operation was
performed at o'clock yesterday
morning with a view of saving his
life. The shock, however, proved
too great and at 1880 O'Clock yes
terday afternoon he passed away, his
aged mother, a faithful attendant
from the first. being at the bedside
Deceased was we'll known in Reno.
With his family he came here about
two years ago and for some time was
engaged in the contracting business
with the firm of Borden & Shannon.
Several weeks ago he left for Raw
hide on business and while there be-
came interested in the mining prop
erty in which he met with the acct

ton. The commission expresses it.
self as satisfied THAI throughout the
miners union there are not over a
few hundred men of dangerous type
while the great ajority-probably
three-fourths of the membership
were conceded to be men of law abid-
ing tendencies.
The report adds:
by permitting their organization
to be managed and controlled by men
of violent tendencies the union as a
body has thus laid itself open to the
reproach of being a vicious organiza-
ton
In view of the foregoing facts,
we believe there is considerable dan
ger that serious disorders will be at
tempted if the troops be withdrawn
and the mine operators insist on car
rying out their publicly announced
policy. But if a handful of men have
controlled the Goldfield miners union
and committed the organization to
indefensible policies and practices, it
is no reason why the county of Es-
meralda and the State of Nevada
should tamely submit to the domina-

Christian Church Notes

Our Bible School goes merrily on.
The Christian Endeavor has
taken on new life the last two
both IN attendance and in
the number who take part.
We greatly appreciate the cordial
and fraternal spirit of our new CO.
pastors aud believe it aueurs that
the day of foolish chickering's and
narrow vision on the part of our
churches is at an end.
Next Lords day our singer, L..
Willard Ogle of Paris, Texas will
be with US. There will be services
every evening Of that week. Rev.
]. Stuart Miller of Baylor, Nebras-
ka, will arrive Wednesday evening
to take charge of the preaching.
The fact is we begin three weeks
series of evangelistic meetings next
Sunday. No proselyting except
from the world: no attacks save on
sin; 10 preaching but that of the
Gospel. All are invited to help and
be helpful.

Mrs. III. w. Copeland who have
disposed of their belongings here
and gone to Council Bluffs to re.
side in the future with their son,
w. r. Copeland. This step was
made necessary by the advancing
feebleness of both and also by the
fact that Walter will be in Wash

will leave his family at home to
look after the old folks.

MOVING PICTURE FAKE
Practiced on a Generous

Wednesday Night

A travelling fake with a few feet
Aid Society ofthe Methodist church
and rendered an entertainment
here last night.
The manager not being satisfied
with very liberal patronage that
was present, who paid their 25c
each for admittance, had the gall
to further remark in his introduce
tory that he had eight thousand
feet of film, but that tour thousand
feet constituted ONE SHOW aud it
took one and one-half hours TO
show it. At the end of that time, if
the people present would pay l5c
each for adults aud SC for the chill
dren, he would put on the other
four thousand feet. Many muir
murs were heard then but the show
went on with intervals of lust
moment which in one case was six
minutes by the watch. AT the end
of forty-five minutes the manager
announced, 81 am out of oxygen;
pressure was too great"
The people saw they were sTUNG
and left the building in frame of
mind not in accordance with GOOD
OLD METHODIST DISCIPLINE.
For the Ladies' Aid Society, we
must say that the entertainment
was represented to be first-class
exhibition and for a certain per
cent of the proceeds, the company
offered to come and give it in the
church, which was Legitimate. For
Mr.. Nelson who was selected by the
society to represent them at the
door, we must cay that his duties
ceased after the cash was collected
and he was in no way connected
with the contract but DID advise
the ladies nor to pay for such a
fake.
To show one-halt of an exhibition
where such an excessive price was
charged, was enough in itself tc
make it have the appearance o.
obtaining money under false
pretense. Thursday morning the
show started on it's journeyings
more oxygen to waste on out q
date pictures, more money to fllch
from unsuspecting Aid Societies.
