Vaudeville Company Pleases.

The Columbia Vaudeville Co., which
appeared in the local theatre Monday
and Tuesday, gave two very creditable
performances, despite the fact that the
attendance was somewhat below the
average, which we attributed in the
main to the fact that the celebration
was too close at hand and most all were
reserving their pleasure funds for that
date.
The company is composed Of some
clever people in their respective parts
and gave general satisfaction.

SHERIFF MAKES
ANNUAL REPORT.
For the Year KndinS June 80, 1908
Also Comparative Table OF Past
Year and the Present One.

In compliance with duties connected
with his Office, Sheriff John Cosgrove
has compiled his annual report and a
gist Of which we herewith publish.
In the making Of the report Mr..
Cosgrove also furnishes additional
information in the way of comparative
table of the condition existing last year
and during the present one. The latter
shows in many respects great falling
off both in the amount of prisoners con-
fined and cost of maintenance during
1903 over that Of 1907.
At the conclusion of the Sheriff's
official report he shows wherein two Of
the prisoners confined had escaped but
were recaptured and are now serving
sentence in State Prison.
His report on the general condition
of the jail and surroundings is broad
and very explanatory, and shows marked
improvements over last year.

The Democratic Tariff Plan.
The Democratic plan does not con-
template an immediate change from
one system to the other; it expressly
declares that the change shall be
gradual, and gradual change is only
possible where the country is satisfied
with the results of each step taken.
We elect congress every two years
and president every four years, and
the people can soon stop any policy If
the results Of that policy are not sat
isfactory But we believe that the ax-
perience the people have had with
protection for protection's sake" has
led them to favor a restoration Of the
tariff by gradual steps to a revenue
basis, and we are convinced that the
advantages following each step will be
so pronounced and that the benfits will
be so universally enjoyed that there
will be no cessation in the progress
toward system under which the tar
iff law of 1916 did not produce a panic;
on the contrary, it was SO satisfactory
that when the Republican party wrote
its first platform ten years afterward
the protective principle was not en-
dorsed.
The Democratic party has declared
for an income tax as a part of the
revenue system, and for a constitutions
al amendment as means of securing
this tax. Secretary Taft announces in
his notification speech that he is in
income yrh fI.,
revenues are so low as to require it,
and expresses his belief that it is pos
sfhle to secure such a tax without a
constitutional amendment. If it is
possible to frame a, law which will
avoid the objections raised to the in
come tax law of 1894, well and good,
but that is uncertain. If an income
tax is desirable, surely Secretary Taft
cannot consistently oppose the adoption
of q constitutional amendment If the
principle is right and the tax wise,
congress ought to have authority to
levy and collect such a tax, and no
supporter of Secretary Taft can ops
pose our position without dissenting
from the Republican candidate.
The whole aim of our party is to Sc
cure justic in taxation. We believe
that each individual should contribute
to the support of the government in
proportion to the benefits which he
receives under the protection of the
government We believe that reve-
nue. tariff, approached gradually, ac-
cording to the plan laid down in our
platform. will equalize the burdens of
taxation, and that the addition of an
income tax will make taxation still
more equitable. II the Republican
party is to have the support of those
who find pecuniary profit in the
exercise of the taxing power, as a
private asset in their business, we
ought to have the support of that
large majority of the people who pro-
duce the nations wealth in time of
peace, protect the nations flag in time
or war, and ask for nothing from the
government but even handed justice.
