THE STAR CAUGHT. TOD.

John R. lobe. state auditor, calls attention of The Star to paragraph recently printed in which the state ment appeared that State Auditor lobe says Arkansas is spending near ly million dollars a years more than it's resources.
 Mir. Jobe's statement, in part, follows:
 The records show that the gen eral assembly of 1907 appropriated $1,S14 ,430.00 to be paid out of the general revenue fund, and the total receipts to the credit of this fund during the year 1908 amounted to only $809, ,556.21. Taking these fig ures as basis, the receipts for two years would be $195, ,3175 less than the amount appropriated by the last legislature for two years. Upon this statement of facts, WAS quoted by the papers as saying the state was running behind nearly $100, 900 per year, which is a fact. Possibly some paper Hldy HdNt HlduS IilCoS figures read $l,000,00 instead of S100, ,000."
 Auditor lobe has the correct so- lution. Newspapers, not being able to be in touch with news sources, must gather information from those who get it first hand, or as nearly so as practical. The paragraph re- ferred to was based on statement made in leading state paper, which paper was quoted widely.
 The Star rejoices that the condi- tion is not so bad as stated, but even at that, the fact remains that the expenses of administrating the states affairs should not exceed the revenues at least not unless there is some permanent and valuable improvement to be made-as for example. acquiring such an asset as good roads.

Miss Tarbell on the Tariff Bill of 1909

In the April American Magazine, Ida M. Tarbell, throwing sidelight on the most lively question now be- fore Congress, says:
 Who makes Trriff bill? The question is permitted in view of what is now going on in Washington. Busy and trustful citizens impressed by the hustle and chatter of long, continued hearings and debates and awed by the seeming authority and painstaking of the thousands of pages of reports issued, naturally conclude that it is Congress. Any member of that body asked the question would scout the very asking of it. Who, indeed, if not Congress? There is a body of citizens in the country, however, who think differ ently. They are those in whose in- terests the bill is principally made.
 "I wrote the bill of 1870 the late Joseph Wharton, iron master, steel master and nic' el king. once told the writer D. idly. Three men will make the next tariff bill, not one of them a member of Congress, " Mir. Havemeyer told David A. Wells in 1894. He was right. That bill, like all its predecessors, for nearly forty years, was made in practice by the representatives of wood and woolen, of iron and steel and sugar And in spite of all the signs to the contrary it is probable they will con- trol the bill of 1909. We may say to ourselves this is impossible. This time the voice of the people IS too clear, this time the game is too apparent. But the game is no more clear and the voice of the people no louder than in 1S7O-in 1SS2-'3-. in 1SS6-'7-1892-'5. Just so long as the committees making tariff bills look to the manufacturers who profit by duties as the chief source of their information, just so long those manufacturers win practically frame the bill They will frame it also as they have always done without respect for the protective principle itself. No. one can study the drift of public opinion in each of the great agitations of the tariff question in the last fifty years without realizing l that at least nine-tenths of the peo- | pie have stood only far such duties as would prC duce needed revenue | and would give industries which were trying to prove their ability to exist in the United States, protec- ! tion through a limited period. But | when 1t came to the point the people | have never had such duties, and on most articles they are farther from | getting them today than they were ! at the close of the Civil war"

When the Pardoning Power Repeals
 the Law,

In refusing clemency to murder ess Mary Farmer, Governor Hughes of New York said: However lm- portant to the interests of justice may be the exercise of the pardon ing power in exceptional cases, the executive has no right to use this power for the purpose of effectlng a practical repeal of the law
 This is just what executives some times do with the pardoning power
 effect a practical repeal of the law; constitute themselves a court above the Supreme court; in fact set aside the works of the courts.
 The law has been practically re- pealed in Arkansas hundreds of times by the use that various gover- nors have made of the pardoning power. In this repeating of the law the present governor has so far had no part.-Arkansas Gazette.
