after conference and agreement with
shippers. A rule regarding the mark
ing of packages. which states more spe-
officially the requirements for plain and

Chicago. Aug. 3l.-5enator Joseph NJ.
Dixon of Montana was today appointed
by Chairman Frank Hitchcock of the
Republican national committee as di-
rector of the speakers bureau of the
Chicago headquarters. The service of
Senator Dixon as a member of the
house of representatives and later of
the United States senate has equipped
him for the position for the reason
that he is familiar with the qualifica-
tons of members of congress for active
campaigning. He has a wide acquaint-
ance also among leaders of the Repub-
lican party in the western states who
will be called upon to fill speaking en-
gagements.
Many Conferences.
Chairman Hitchcock began his po-
litical conferences today within ten
minutes after he reached the city from
New York. He had breakfast on the
train and proceeded directly to the
headquarters in the Harvester building
and disposed of large amount of
business brought before him by
Secretary Hayward. aud other Of
ficials of the western campaign force
and Fred c. Upham. the assistant
treasurer of the national committee.

here tomorrow to confer with Chair
man Hitchcock, and they will then

gressional campaign.
Senator Hemenway and State Chair

to $4,000, 900, in the Cleveland and Nc
Kinley administrations. While every
element of our population suffers to a
greater or less extent because of the
unnecessary expenditures of the gov
eminent, the farmers have special rea-
son for complaint. because they pay
more than their share of the taxes col
lected and receive less than their share
of the benefits which flow from the ex-
penditure of the corporation. Nearly
all of our federal revenues. excepting
postal receipts, are collected from in
ternal revenue taxes and import duties,
and these are taxes upon consumption.
Taxes upon consumption always over
burden those of moderate means and
underburden the rich. If the federal
taxes could be separated from the
price of the article on which they are
concealed and each PERSONS per capita
tax be shown, II would be found that
the federal tax now collected would be.
in effect. a graduated income tax. the
largest per cent being collected from
the small incomes and the least per
cent upon the large incomes. And to
aggravate the case still more, the ap-
propriations which unfairly Cypress the
farmers are spent in cities, so that the
farmer enjoys few direct benefits from
the appropriations and scarcely any
direct benefits.
Two Prime Causes.
why is it that the Republican party
is so much more eXtravagant than the
Democratic party in expenditure of
public money? There are two reasons:
First, because Republican leaders are
more intimately associated with the
tax eaters than with the taxpayers.
They hear the hungry clamor of the
men who spend money more than they
do the protests of the masses who con-
tribute revenues. But there is a sec
ond reason: The Republican leaders
have taught the doctrine that taxation
is unalloyed. They have tried to Guilt
vate a public opinion to support the
idea that tariff taxes on the theory that
even when not needed for revenue are
direct advantage to the protected in
terests and an indirect advantage to
the whole country. 1t is not strange
that people who consider taxation a
blessing would be inclined to make the
blessing as large as possible.
Democracy and Reform.
THE Democratic party is in a posi-
ton to bring reform TO the matter of
expenditures. 1t believes that a tax
is defensible only when necessary and
that il should be reduced TO the low
est limits consistent with good govern
ment. Our party is pledged to reduc-
ton in appropriations and to economy
in every department of government.
and our position ought to appeal with
special force TO those of our population
who are engaged in agriculture"

call for Democratic club organizations
in every voting precinct in the state. Mr.
Corners said he still believes that Lieuten-
ant Governor Chanler is the strongest can
didate upstate for governor. but that the
state convention would doubtless be guided
in its selection of candidates by the state
ticket put up by the Republicans.

Talked to Farmers.

At the fair grounds he spoke for an
hour before an immense crowd. His prin-
cipal topic was Republican extravaganza
Addressing himself to the farmers, he
declared that they had special reason for
complaint because they paid more than
their share of the taxes collected, and
received less than their share of the bene-
fits which flowed from the expenditures
of the corporations. He received great
demonstration upon being introduced by
Governor Johnson, and in his preliminary
remarks took occasion to laud the gov
ernor and urge his hearers to assist in
re-electing him as their chief executive.
