, CURRENCY FAlTH-cuRE.

About the only good thing TO be SAID
about the Aldrich-Vreeland currency
measure is that it will serve TO avert
further trouble this year by its effect

The compromise measure was salts

who stood sponsors for it, The senate
had no use for the house bill, and the
house regarded the Aldrich plan as an
sbomination, yet the bill which be-

which had been obnoxious 10 bolh

that any action would work a faith

GOV. cHAMegRLAIN,s TRIUMPH.

Governor George T. Chamberlain OF

Among the lessons of history the
fact that traitors are more cruel and

stands out boldly on every page. This

If the Republican leaders were only
after election as they are before, the
fact might be advanced as a possible
excuse for success of the G. O. 2. in
November. But in the light of the
record of their past promises and per-
fOrmances, please excuse US if we put
a copper on the tariff plank in the Chi

THE WHOLE WORKS.

In all its history, the Republican
/ party has never had quite so thought
full a president as Roosevelt: thought
ful. that is, in his determination TO be
! the whole party An instance of this
is the Washington report published
| yesterday that the president is going TO
save the convention at Chicago the
trouble of writing the platform, as well
as the perplexity of choosing a candi-
date which he has already arranged for.
According TO the Washington dis
patch. Roosevelt held a conference at
the White House on Monday evening,
at which the draft of a platform was
agreed upon. OF course the conference
was only a matter of form in which
the other conferees were expected to
approve in advance any suggestions the
president might be kind enough to
offer That much is certain from the
names of the conferees: Loeb, Garfield,
Taft, Senator Long of Kansas, Senator
Hopkins of Illinois, Attorney General
Ellis of Ohio and Frank B. Kellogg,
national committeeman from Minneso-
ia, and special government counsel for
the prosecution of ROosevelt's policies
i'm the courts.
After the conference it was an
nOunced that the Chicago convention
would take advanced ground on the
tariff" The announcement may be
news to Uncle Joseph Cannon, Senator
Aldrich. Congressman Payne, Congress-
man Dalzen and the other standpat-
tiers. but it is official, coming from the
White House. and that settles it.
whether the delegates TO the conven-
ton like it or not. AlsO-and this is
the real meat of the proceeding-the
convention will stand squarely on the
policies which have been the success of
the Roosevelt administration A good
many of the delegates may have their
doubts about standing squarely on
RoOsevelt's policies, since those poll
cies were pretty well repudiated at the
/ last session of congress, but that is
mere detail. The White House says the

There was a time when Republican
platforms and Republican policies rep
resented the collective wisdom of a
number of prominent, if not great.
men. Even Lincoln, the greatest of all
Republicans, was wont 10 consult the
opinions and wishes of other party
leaders, and he was even known to de
fer TO their judgment on occasion.
Times have changed, however, since
then. Now it is no longer necessary 10
go through any such foolish perform
aace. If a platform is required, Roose-
volt will write it, as he did the last
Ohio state platform; if candidates are
needed Roosevelt viii select them; if
a program for the regulation of the uni
verse is needed, ask Roosevelt and it IS
forthcoming; and if he isn't asked, it
Will be forthcoming anyway.
It's no wonder that Roosevelt com

SWEEPING TAX DECISION.
Washington Commission Makes I'm

Washington Commission Makes I'M
Portant Ruling on Goods in Ship
ment.
Property OF any nature, where the
shipment emanates and ends within
the state, and where It has been
started from one county before the
first day OF March, is assessable up
on arrival at Its destination, accord
ing to decision rendered by the state
board OF tax commissioners, says the
Walla Walla Bulletin.
The decision was called forth by
case taken before the state board
by the assessor OF Snohomish county,
covering the question OF assessing
wheat stored In the Great Northern
warehouses at that point.
The state tax commission holds Ia
part as follows:
where property has arrived at Its
destination and is held in bulk, even
though It may be reshipped to other
points, Is subject to taxation.
Not Gin Transit"
where the shipment OF property
emanates and ends within the state.
it cannot be considered at any time
in transit, so as to exempt 1t from
taxation.
"In order to entltle 1t to, the ex-
emption 1t must be so handled as to
constitute interstate commerce.
"In the absence of any statute fix
ing a place for assessment of personal
property, Its situs Is supposed to be
at the residence Of the owner Our
revenue laws, however, fix the situs
on all tangible property at the place
of it's location on the first day Of
March for assessment purposes.
ut has been repeatedly held that
proerty manufactured in one state
and brought into another state and
stored in a warehouse for the con-
venient distributin thereof in supply
ing customers and filling orders is
subject to taxation.
All Subject TO Tax.
"All property within the state on
the first day of March, unless 1t
comes within classes enumerated In
our constitution as exempt, Is sub
ject to assessment and taxation, un-
less it be property actually en- route
from some other state or foreign
country to a destination either within
or without the state; or, unless 1t be
property emanating in this state and
actually en- route to some other state
or country, so as to constitute it in
terstate or foreign commerce.
Property emanating in this state
in process of shipment to an ultimate
destination within the state is not ex-.
empt from taxation, as being proper
ty in transit, falling within the rule
of law established by courts
"If the shipment has started from
one county before the first day of
March, then the property is clearly
assessable upon arriving at its destl-
nation, as it never ceases to be part
of the general mass of property with
in the state"
