Until last year all property in
this state was subject to taxation,
moneys, bonds, notes, mortgages,
warrants, tax receipts and credits
being included. But our benevo-
lent legislature at it's last session
passed a law exempting from tax
alton all money, credits, notes,
bonds, warrants, mortgages and
tax receipts. Thus something over
$500, 600, 900 of property of this
class was exempted from taxation.
Now, if the owners of this property
are not required to pay taxes you,
who have the real property, the
lands, the houses, the mills, factor
les, merchandise and household
goods, must pay the expense of
running the state.
The rate of taxation varies in
the different localities. In some
cities of the state it runs over five
per cent. On $500, 200, 900 this
would amount to 5000, 900. Can
you offer any reason why you, in
stead of the wealthy man, should
pay this 5000, 900 annually?
The old law permitted the man
so unfortunate as to be in debt to
deduct the amount of his indebted

LET BOTH PARTIES
MAKE STRONG TICKETS
There is no Excuse for Weak
Candidates

TO the average citizens it mat
! tiers little whether the men who are
! elected to fill the county Offices are
: republicans or democrats. 1t is of
vastly more importance that they
; be competent, efficient and honest
men and that they conduct the
affairs of their Office for the best
interests of the people they repre-
sent.
The new primary law is such
that the people may select such
men for Office, instead of being
compelled to take whoever may be
forced upon them by the party
machines. 1t is not always, how
ever, that the best men come out
voluntarily and declare themselves
as candidates, and even under the
primary law there are likely to he
men in the field who ought not to
be elected
1t is up to the leaders of both of
the old parties to see to it that
among the candidates for each
office there is at least one who will
meet the requirements Creditably if
elected, and in cases where only
weak men have declared them
selves as candidates efforts should
be made to bring out some one else.
The democrats have thus far had
but few candidates to appear in the
race, the arguments of the leaders
being that they can win with none
but the best of men and when their
ticket is placed in the field it will
be composed of men who will com
mand the confidence of the voters
and who will have a good chance
to win. The republicans already
have several aspirants in the field
for most of the offices, but there
are places where their ticket could
be strengthened by the addition of
better candidates, and unless this
is done the democrats may and
should win some of the most i'm
portant offices. There should be
plenty of material to select from
upon each side, and the voters may
be relied upon to see to it that as
rule the best men win. Spokane

REPUBLICAN PANIC
AND HIGH TARIFF
Twelve Years in Power Without
Any Interruption

The voters of the country should
be reminded that the republican
party will have to accept the re-
sponsibility of the last panic and
the deficiency of Sl+4 ,00O,0 in
the public revenues i'll time of pro-
found peace, and the extravaganza
in public expenditures which in
creased over the reckless waste of
the billion dollar congress by So
900, 900. Of course this touches
some of the old timers, that preach
the doctrine that the republicans
can do no wrong, a little OH the
raw. and they squirm and wriggle
like a captive eel, to evade the
facts and escape just conclusions.
Persistently and always they
have assumed credit for prosperity,
and they therefore cannot dodge
the responsibility for adversely,
what ever has happened must of
course be accredited to the party
that has been in power for the past
twelve years.
The disbursements for the year
aggregate, $3.50, 900, 900, or $780,
900, 900, more than for 1907 and
$4,000, 900 more than the year of
the Spanish American war, these
figures are taken from the official
statements of the United States
treasury department.
Ellis H. Roberts, a good repub-
lican and for many years treasurer
Of the United States, in an article
in Leslies Weekly, a staunch re-
publican Journal, calls it shock
ing revulsion of the public finances,
he adds that the richest national
treasury on earth has been depict
ed. The enormous shortage of
$l44, 900, 900 has made Mr.. Rob-
erts set up and take notice.
What answer will the republicans
give!
What excuse will they have to
satisfy the people for this huge
deficit in time of profound peace.
What excuse will they make for
the thousands of unemployed?
What excuse will they make for
this increase of the burdens of the
people, without any cause?
Will the voters shut their eyes,
renounce their reason and look
over all these increased burdens
that are being heaped upon them'
1t they do, hereafter when your
horse becomes overloaded in place

CHANGE THEIR TUNE
TO SUIT THE TIMES

Since the adjournment OF the
great convention at Denver the
republican leaders from Roosevelt
down have been sitting up and
taking notice. No longer do they
wear that Sinking, self-satisfed
smile no longer do the partisan
organs reiterate the tiresome state
ment that the republicans are sure
to win this year
The wise ones among them now
realize that the republican party
has the fight of its life on its hands
this year. Instead of picnic
campaign resulting in sure and
certain victory, they now see be-
fore them the prospect of battle
royal, with All enthusiastic and
harmonious opposition army under
the banner of a great commander,
already intrenched and in waiting
for the battle to begin. To their
dismay, they not only see now that
the opposition army is occupying
the best and strongest positions,
but that the ranks of the enemy
are being daily recruited by men
who are deserving the Taft stand
ard. TO add to their Chagrin they
see a number of division and brig
ade commanders, famous for their
splendid activity in former cam
paigns, now deadly silent, sulking
in their tents, if not secretly plot
ting for the success of the enemy.
They have heard, too, the bugle
note of Gompers, the greatest labor
leader of modern times, summoning
his hosts to fall in line and do bat
tie with the predatory interests, to
add to their CONSERVATION they see
an army of colored citizens hereto
fore regarded as fixed party asset,
rise up in open rebellion against
the new commander and silently
march away in good order to take
positions in the rear of the great
army of the coming people.
A careful review of their own
army has revealed to them its many
deficiencies. They know now that
their is an utter lack of enthusiasm
among the soldiers as we'll as IN
the officers of the line. The heir
apparent, they can now PLAINLY
see. is neither a skillful nor sue
cessful commander. Unlike his
great predecessor, there is no magic
in his word of command. There
is about him nothing to excite nope
of success. Yakima Democrat.

WILD SCENES IN THE CONVENTION Democrats of West Virginia
 Name State Ticket ''J|M CROW'' PLANK ADOPTED. Negro Disfranchlsement Is Declared For In the Platform-Bryan Sends
 Message of Thanks To
 the Convention.
"JIM CROW" PLANK ADOPTED.

Charleston, W. Va, July 30.-.After an all night session the democrats of West Virginia, in convention here. nominated Louis Bennett of Lewis county for gov ernor, at 4 o'clock this morning, after the convention had struggled for hours over the only two blanks in the plat form that were not unanimously ap- proved These two blanks were the ne- gro disfranchisement and "Jim Crow blanks, which, after the resolutions committee had reported them favorably. were made a part of the platform amid scenes of widest excitement this after noon. The text of the negro disfrau- chisement plank is as follows:
 "Believing that the extension of the elective franchise to a race inferior in intelligence and without preparation for the wise and prudent exercise of d privilege so vital to the maintenance of good government was mistake, if not a crime, committed by the repub- lican party during the reign of passion and prejudice following the civil war for political ends and purposes. we de- clare that the democratic party Is in favor of so amending the constitution to preserve the purity of the ballot, and the electorate of the state from the evil results from comforting such power and privilege upon those who are ur- fitted to appreciate its importance as it effects the stability and preservation of good government
 we favor the enactment of law requiring common carriers engaged il passenger traffic to furnish separate coaches or compartments for white and colored passengers"
 The following is the state ticket as nominated by the conventions:
 Governor-Louis Bennett, Lewis county.
 Secretary of State--Adem B. Little page, Kanawha county.
 State Treasurer---l.' A Miller.
 State Auditor-Ostar genkinss> Wood county.
 Superintendent of Free Schools-I. P. Bush, Summers county.
 In reply to a message of felicita- tion sent by the democratic state con . vention to William J. Bryan the fo : lowing telegram addressed to W. E. Chiffon, J. H. Hall and John T. Me- Graw was received today and read to the convention:
 ''I greatly appreciate the cordial in dorsement given by your convention and share with you in the hope that the hearty cooperation promised may insure a democratic victory in West Virginia and the nation.
