President Taft's special message to
Congress presents so forcibly the rea-
sons on which he basis his advocacy
of tax on the net earnings of cor
porations that he who runs may read,
and we venture the opinion that no
Speaker or Representative will re-
ceiye any severe condemnation from
his constituents, regardless of the
party to which they may belong, who
casts his vote for that amendment to
the tariff bill. That the enactment
of this tax constitutes stride in the
economic progress of the nation, not
second to the enactment of the Sher.
man ANTITRUST law, is the view enter
tanned by more than one statesman
whose opinion is worthy of the re-
spect of every thoughtful and patrlo-
tic citizen.

bach was called in to finish the con.
fiict, which he did very credibly, and
with him rests the real glory of the
victory, for he succeeded in holding
the enemy down and it was his three

crossed the plate moment later with
the run that won the game.
On the other hand, it devolved on
Morris Cook to do all the twirling for
the west side and he stuck to it man.

deserving of much credit. Be it said,
he had his opponents beaten until the
closing rounds, when exhausted nat.

the fact and forged to the front. Had
there been some one to have afforded
him short respite it Is our candid
opinion that the result would have
been different.
1t would be useless to attempt to
tell of all the stellar plays that were
made or errors either but the game
was replete with hair-raising stunts

LOOKING FORWARD.

The democrat press of the state
has been having considerable trouble
in finding candidate to run for gov
ernor on the republican ticket. There
is really no reason why the democrats
should worry themselves about this
matter because it is not up to them tc
make the selection. Of course, they
would like to see the weakest posi-.
BILE candidate placed in nomination
by the republicans so that there
would be no doubt as to Governor
Harmon's reelection year from now.
Republicans will find no trouble in
getting nominee for governor who
can beat Governor Harmon. The
present democratic governor is get
ting into many partisan snarls and
, tangles and is showing himself to be
democratic governor instead of gov
ernor for all the people, all of which
is making him bitter political enc
mics.
The names of dozen men have
already been mentioned as possibill-
ties sfor the republican nomination
and there is no doubt that there will
be many more before the convention
is called next year. There will be
plenty of issues on which to meet
Governor Harmon in his candidacy
for reelection. In state overwhelm-
ingly republican there is no doubt
but that under normal conditions a
republican will be elected.
The taxation campaign inaugurated
by the Ohio State Board of Commerce
has reached the leaders of both, par.
ties and it looks as if the subject OF
taxation would be the paramount one
in the gubernatorial campaign next
year. The State Board of Commerce
is the one organization that has a
definite proposition and that one is
to reduce the tax rate and increase
tax values proportionately.
Each member of the Legislative tax
commission, consisting of senators
Clevenger and Patterson, republicans
Senator Ashford, democrat, will have
a distinct and separate theory of tax.
alton to present to the Legislature
next winter. The commission was
appointed to devise ways and means
for increasing state revenues, now
threatened by heavy expenditures
and decreasing incomes. Senator Cley.
enger has already declared that he
will favor an income tax. Senator
Alsford is not wholly in accord with
his colleges on this proposition, but
says he will have an entirely different
suggestion to make to the general as
sembly. He said that he is not will
ing to have his ideas made public,
but believes they will lessen the tax
burden, if adopted, and at the same
time increase the state revenues. SEN
ator Patterson is said to have still
different suggestion in his investiga.
tions.
The commission will have a meet
ing probably late in June to compare
notes and exchange ideas. 1t is posi-
BILE that they may shape their ideas
so as to embody them more or less
completely in single report to the
Legislature.

There is nothing doubtful about
the value of advertising. It's as sure
as any other business transaction.
Reduced to it's lowest terms, advertis-
ing is merely letting people know
who you are, what you are, where
you are, what you are doing and
what you want them to do. The ad-
vertiser who keeps his business per-
sistently before the people is the one
who gets the business.

Ifreports from Washington are cor
rect, Secretary Nagel expects to revo
lutionize the Department of Com.
merce and Labor. He has shown, al.
ready, decided tendency to know
all about the things for which he is
responsible as an officer of the govern.
ment, and he has now set in motion
the machinery for thorough investi
cation of every bureau in his depart
ment. The resignation of Mr.. North
as Director of the Census is evidence
of the fact that political influence
will avail nothing where incompe-
tence is proven, and those clerks, il
there be such, who are more inter
ested in watching the clock than in
the conscientious performance of their
duties had better take heed while
they may. Mr.. Nageis plan to en-

Announcement is just made of
another concession to the views of
President Taft by the Senate leaders
in their agreement to waive the time
limit which they had determined to
attach to Mr., Taft's proposition of a
two per cent. tax on the net earnings
of corporations. Evidently the mem
bers of the Senate are beginning to
appreciate that they have in the
White House a politician of more
than ordinary ability. He has al
ready demonstrated a skill in the
game of economic politics of no mean
order in the masterly ability with
which he has handled the tariff legis.
lation While giving no encourage
ment to the insurgents, Mr.. Taft
has placed no abstacle in their way;
avoiding any criticism of the press
that he was exceeding his constitu-
tional prerogatives, his attitude has
encouraged the press to criticise the
Senate tariff bill as producing too
little revenue; and finally, biding his
time, the President has waited until
the Senate leaders were obliged to go
to him for assistance to defeat the in
come tax, when he adroitly guides
them into position where their only
recourse is to enact a substitute which
is but degree less Objectionable to
many of them than the Cummins-
Bailey proposition. Whether Presi,
dent Taft will play an equally skilful
game in obtaining the enactment of
other measures for which he is under
stood to stand remains to be seen. 1t
is safe prediction that he will, and
that he will prove possibly even more
successful in obtaining legislation
from Congress than his predecessor.
The difference between the two is in
method, and not in determination nor
skill.

our liberties are becoming more and
more prescribed and restricted by pub

used to. The saloon business is On

WHO GETS YOUR
ADVERTISING
Mr.. Merchant, This Question is
of Interest to You.

Mr. Business Man, are you an adver-
tiSer?
Let US answer the question by
saying yes. You are careful not to
overlook any little courtesy to a Gus
toner that might make them perma-
nent customers. That is one form of
advertising There are many other
forms and methods, You, no doubt,
are making strenuous effort to in
crease your business. You are adding
new features to attract trade, and in
most instances these features are
some form of advertising. There are
some merchants contributing to ad.
vertiSing schemes with hope of in
creaSIng trade. This same money

directories, hotel registers, programs

erouS to mention, not overlooking tele-

paper? How much would your prop
erty be worth? Would it be
desirable place. to live in? Would it
not be considered IA dead one?" We
would then return to. the days when
old empty dry goods boxes were strewn
along the main thoroughfares for the
eonveniences of wnittlers and tobacco
chewers.
The newspaper is indispensable. II
is working every day in the year for
your interests and the city'S interests.
What are you doing for it in return?
Are you carrying advertising space,
thereby helping yourself and also,
helping to promote worthy enter
prise, or are you contributing to every
little scheme, (S0me say fake) that
comes this way, and ny so doing en-
couraging the hatci1ing of "sOme-
thing new tn bleed the merchant"
1t is this that works an everlasting
hardship upon the advertising fund.-"
If you have followed this method of
advertising do you not think it is
time to get in line for good legitimate
newspaper advertising? Take space
and go after business right. Get your
ads up in good readable form, taking
pains to point out the advantages of
your goods and prices. Use honest
q rrtl al1n tatn
you cannot verify. Change your copy
often. Occasionally, offer little in
ducement to the buying public in the
form of sale. Keep them interested
in the dUings of your store. Make
your ads newsy and crisp. By this
means you viii! reach the reading pub
lie, for the newspaper goes into the
homes of people who appreciate it
enough to pay for the service.
By patroniZing the newspaper you
are helping to boost the city. A town
or city is judged by its newspapers.
Are you doing your share towards
making them a credit to your city, or
ale you through cheap methods and
schemes" which usually prove expen-
siye at any cost, using up this fund
set aside. And even though it may
be small, the spirit in which it is ex-
pended would be appreciated as much
in proportion.
This, no doubt, will be prosperous
year for the advertising merchants of
Grand Rapids. The fakir will be in
evidence at all times with his graft.
Do not encourage this kind of graft
by patroniZiDg it. and have him say,
after getting your money:-"This is
certainly an easy town."
Stick to the newspaper as it sticks
to you, and when inventory is over in
1910, you will see that you, for one
year, have not wasted your advertising
fund.
