MAZAPIN AND DEMOCRACY.

More than 100 years ago it was the
Judgment of Mazarin that democracy
always was and always would be SIM
a wise man and meant Organism when
he said democracy" says the Inter-
mountain Republican in an inspired
and probably revelatory moment. That
paper. however. fails to give the rea-
sons why II accepts Mazarin as its po-
litical guide and mentor. Mazarin was
a great man, though not worthy sue
cessor of the greater Richelieg. But
in spite of his undeniable abilities he
could never have become a leader Of
what the Republican calls Organism.
and for the following reasons.
i. He was high churchman, car
dinal
.. He was a believer in the divine
right Of kings and an upholder OF an
solutism.
3. He hated the common people.
4. He helped break down the power
of parliament
He levied unjust and oppressive
taxes.
6. He sold appointments TO the ju-
dietary.
:. He stole from the public revenues
so immense sum that at his death he
was able to leave his heirs a fortune OF
200 600. 900 livres.
These are some of the more import
ant reasons why Cardinal MaZarin' :

but of The democratic idea of rule 10y

founded. is worthless. Still il is more
than probable that among them may
be found the reason why Mr. SmootS

WHAT REFORM MEANS

A reform candidate is one who be-
lieves in changes intended TO better
present conditions, favor guaranteed
bank deposits so people will be secure
in the use of their money during panics.
Foreigners send their savings to Europe.
The banker should be held liable, not
the government, as in postal savings,
for employer are more reckless than
stockholders If bank. The nation
and state requires security. although it
inspect the banks; the banker requires
security when he lends at per cent,
and why shouldn't he give security
when he borrows at or 4 per cent?
II the state has security and the de-
positors has none. then in case of a
failure the state is preferred creditor
although its loss would be small to each
citizen and the depositor might loose
all his savinas. As to the objection
that reckless banking would follow, my
answer is that honest bankers are now
1t an expense for bank examiners. To
those who have been told the plan failed
II 1880, my answers is that that the
law guaranteed circulation which like
guaranteed prosperity will prove em-
barassing. In Oklahoma the plan is a
success and Kansas republicans seeing
their citizens go there for safety, favor
the plan. In bank failure there May

failure in Ohio a mob of 1900 people
stormed a bank door till the police drove
it back. w. f.. BUTT,

NEED NO STATE TAX THIS YEAR
Revenues Of Wisconsin Make the Levy
of One Unnecessary

In spite OF necessary expenditure
of $3.50, 900 towards the construction of
new state capitol building, the in
creased earnings of the state as a re-
suit of heavier taxation of railroads.
insurance companies and other large
corporations, have been so great that
there VIII be no state tax levied this
year. No tax to defray state expendi-
lures has been levied on the general
property of the state for six years, the
so-callen ''mill-tax, which is distri-
buted to the different school districts
for local purposes, thus relieving the
communities from an equal amount of
local taxes. being in no proper sense a
state tax.
The state board of equalization, com
posed of Gov. Davidson, Secretary of
State Frear and State Treasurer Dahl,
held meeting Thursday evening, and
after canvassing the finances of the
state decided that no tax was necessary.
This decision relieves the taxpayers of
the state of nearly 81, 100000 in taxes
which had been placed on their should
ers yearly prior to 1902. The report of
the board shows a general balance in
the state treasury on October |, of
81, ,563, 475. 1t is estimated that on
January l. 1909, there will still be left
in the treasury 1913, 457. with all out
standing debts paid. The estimated
receipts for 1909 will be about $5,50l,-
600, and the estimated disbursements
for the same year will be $5, ,S0l, IT'S,
which, added to the 1918, ,457 in the
treasury at the beginning Of the year,
will put over $6, 500, 600 I'm the treasury
and leave balance of about $303, 900.
The capitol building law provides that
$3.50, 600 may be raised annually for the
building of the new capitol, but since
this amount can be taken out of the
general fund, without detriment to
the public service, the board concludes
that no state tax be levied.

NEW FORM OF BALLOT


A new form of ballot will be used at
the election in November One cross
at the top win still vote the entire
ticket, including candidates for the
state, congressional, legislative and
county Offices and presidential electors.
This may be done by putting a cross in
the circle at the top of the ticket.
But the change comes in that the
presidential electors are no longer ut
the head of the ticket. They are now
at the bottom and in a division set off
py itself. The candidates for governor
head the ticket and are followed down
in order by the otner candidates for
state offices, then the candidates for
the Legislature and then the county
Offices. And way down below all these
comes the rames Of the candidates for
the presidential electors.

KoPP GETS GOOD HOUSE
Speaks Ably TO Large Audience in Opera
Hall-Teils Where He Stands

Arthur w. Kopp, republican candi-
date for congress from the Third dis
trict, spoke to good sized audience at
the Opera house, Saturday night. Re-
pubhcans generally are more than
pleased with the impression LEI with
those who were fortunate enough to
hear him. His speech showed thorough
mastering of the important issues at
hand. The speaker punctured the pro-
posed Bryaniferous guarantee of bank
deposits so full of holes that it didn t
hold the first suspecion of economic
plausibility. Mr. kopp showed that
the proposed law would work hardships
upon the conservative bankers who
would be compelled to hold up the wild
speculative banking institutions of Wall
street and other large cities.
Mr.. Kopp, upon request, put himself
on record regarding the speakership of
the house, in declaring he would if
elected, oppose CannOu's election to
that position. This was expected mas
much as his platform, published two
months before the primary. sodeclared
The speaker also handled the trust and
tariff questions in ereditable manner,
proving beyond possible doubt that
the present evils can be and will be
more quickly remedied under repub-
ican administration than can be hoped
for under the proposed democratic plat
form of this campaign.
His arguments were convincing and
no doubt many clouded mind went
home with the resolve to vote the ticket
straight and cinch another four years
of prosperity and business activity.
He pointed out the numerous reforms
obtained in state and nation during the
past seven years, all of which have
been given to the people by means of
republican progressive administrations.
His splendid speech will prove of great
advantage to the straight republican
ficknt -
