THE PRESIDENT, THE SENATE
AND THE TARIFF.

In an interview by Senator John
son on his return from Washington
some interesting facts are stated with
reference to the passage of the Payne
tariff bill. Mr.. Johnson shows
that nearly all of the schedules were
adjusted by the republicans of the
houses and that the number of SEIZED
ules upon which the differences we're
adjusted by the intercession of the
president, was small, showing that
the reports of lack of harmony and
dissent among the republicans in
congress- were exaggerated and
without foundation. Senator John
sons says:
LET us examine the record. The
senate proposed S47 amendments to
the house bill In conference the
house conferees agreed to 422 of
these amendments and the senate
conferees receded from 124 of it's
proposed amendments. That left 301
to be adjusted. Each side had to
give and take. When these differ
ences of opinion had by various COM
promises been reduced to seven
the president in verbal and inform
al way took an earnest part in help
ing on the final agreement. These
seven points were:
=" Iron ore. 49,,
E Goal.
2-Petroleum.

THE ELECTION PROJECT.

The leading republican newspap-
ers of the county do not look for
democratic victories at the next
congregational election although
urging republicans everywhere to
beware of overconidence and to
bring out a big vote. The St. Louis
Globe-Democrat reflects the general
sentiment when it says:
While the prospect for another re-
publican victory is bright, the leaders
of the party must keep in mind the
fact that the congressional election
in the middle of presidential term
is rather important test for the
president and his party. In that
election the party always loses some
seats in the house. The republican
lead in the chamber which was elect
ed with Mr.. Taft was only AZ, as CON-
pared with a margin of ia in the
house which came in with Mr.. Roose-
welt in the canvas of 1904. The
Roosevelt majority in the house was
cut in two in the campaign two years
later. A similar shrinkage of the
republican margin in 1910 would
bring it down to periously small d.
mansions. A majority of % or "a in
Ia chamber of 391 members would be
to narrow for safety. The republi-
can campaign managers must take
precautions to prevent the reduction
of the vote to that small margin.
Overconfidence is something which
the republicans must guard against.
Prosperity will have returned before
the election. The mills will all be
running to their full capacity. Every
man who wants work will be able to
get it. Nobody will be thinking of
the tariff at that time. Live issues
will demand attention and the tariff
will be a settled issue. The demo
Gratis dare not attempt to revive 1t
for if they do they will call atten-
ton to their own discordant condi-
ton. The panic of 1so7-0s will be
only a "reminiscences by November,
|1s1O., Nobody. will talk about it or
think about it, The democrats have
no issue on which they can unite and
make a fight. They have no leaders,
no policy and no encouragement to
make a canvas which will bring out
large vote for their candidates.
These conditions, however, offer
peril to republicans. They are CAL
culated to create feeling of con-
tempt for their opponents. and thus
some congressional seats may be
lost which could, otherwise, be easi-
ly held. The party's file closers In
November, 1910, must see to it that
every republican is brought to the
polls. ~

agreed with him up to the last seven
items in the law. In four Of these
seven items they yielded gracefully
to his wishes and in the last three
they were handsomely sustained by

The State Board of Equalization
in determining the value of railroads
and other property has endeavored
to equalize all alike and if this re-
suit has not been accomplished 1t
is because of mistaken judgment and
not because of honesty Of intention.
Real estate values were Increased IN
some instances and the valuation for
taxation purposes is believed to be
about twenty five per cent Of the
actual value. The board, in placing
a valuation of $4,000 mile on the
main lines of the Great Northern
and Northern Pacific, and $4,000
per mile on the main line of the
$780," endeavored to arrive at this
result precisely on the same basis
that other property was equafized
.-one-quarter of actual value. No
raise was made in the assessment Of
the branch lines as the board con-
sidered that these were assessed too
high heretofore as compared to the
trunk lines. The members of the
board reasoned that in some instanc-
es the branch lines did not produces
revenue sufficient to pay running ex-
penses, giving good service to the.
patrons and interest on the invest,
ment. The building and operating.
of these branch lines Is Of the great
est Importance to the state, and they,
should be valued and assessed
in proper proportion to the main
lines. The increase in valuations of
railroad and other property and the
natural increase in taxable prop
erty amounts to considerable but the
state is growing rapidly and the in
creased cost of running its affairs
and 41iquidating its obligations re-
quires the increase that has been
made in valuations for taxation pur-
poses. =: .%$

Agreements were reached on the
first four of these points mainly by
the informal, verbal, good influence
of the president as follows: Iron
ore was reduced from 40 cents a ton
the Dingley rate to to Is cents. Bin
ituous coal was reduced from 81
cents per ton Dingley rate, to As
cents per ton. Petroleum free. as
before except for the omission of a
possible countervailing duty, of no
account. Hides, formerly dutiable at
Is per cent, were placed on the free
list. . -:
"That left only three points of diff
ference to be adjusted, viz: Lumber,
kid gloves and cotton hose. At this
point the president for the first and
the only time-not counting his
special message on the corporation
tax-offered a suggestion in writing
In letter to Mr.. Aldrich he named
his ultimatum which was promptly
cheerfully excepted by both house
and senate. That u1timatum has been
heralded far and wide as a crushing
defeat for the senate. Exactly the
reverse Is true. On rough lumber
the house rate was 81 per thousand
and the senate rate was $3.50 per
thousand. Taft's ultimatum was
$1.25. On dressed lumber, kid gloves
and Gotten hose the senate rate was
lower than the house rate and the
uItimatum was that the senate rate
must be accepted. It was accepted
over the senate. On rough lumber

kid gloves and cotton hose, the presi-
dent insisted that the lower rates
of the senate bill must go into the
new law and there it is. If that
was crushing defeat for the senate
It could stand few more jolts.
Here is law covering over 1000
items, 1898 Of those items were

FLOOD PREVENTION.

When Pittsburg undertakes to pre-
vent foods from the Ohio river, she
attacks problem that looks big, but
the flood commission of that city is
sanguine of ultimate success.
1t is proposed to employ engineers
to prepare a preliminary report which,
we are told, will embrace compre-
hensive survey of the entire water
sheds of the Allegheny and Monon-
gahela rivers. 1t will take two years
and cost 100000 to complete this
report. Considering that Pittsburg
has lost $1,000 900 by floods in the
past two years there should be no
trouble in raising this amount.
The report completed, the actual
work to partially control the flow OF
the two rivers would be begun. THE
general plan, says the Wheeling
Register, 'contemplates first an at
tack on the streams that aid in caus-
ing the big rivers. There are about
fifteen of these. They will be held
in check by the construction of reser-
voirs and other methods during the
rain season.
The job looks big, but Pittsburg
has a habit of undertaking and solv-
ing big problems. West Virginia,
is deeply interested and should CO.
operate when the times comes.

BULK SALES Law.
CLAIM OF CREDITORS OF BUSINESS
FIRMS WILL Be PROTECTED.

The bulk sales law passed at the
last session of the Legislature of
West Virginia is now in effect. This
new law is of special Importance to
the business men of Point Pleasant
and the state, and of late there have
been many inquiries as to when it
became operative. The bill was
pushed through the Legislature prin-
cipally by the state board of trade,
assisted by various local boards
throughout the State.
1t is of chief interest to the bust
ness world, for its sole intent is for
the protection of creditors. Under
this law man in business will be
unable to dispose of his stock of
goods converting them into money
which he pockets to eyade the pay
ment of his creditors. When aman
desires to sell out his business he
must notify his creditors by the pub
lication for a period of two weeks in
newspapers. Creditors will then be
enabled to take advantage of any OPP
portunity offered them to protect
themselves against the loss of their
claims. 1t will be possible for the
owner of the businss to dispose of it
by an arrangement with the creditors
to protect their interests.
In the last few weeks, local attor-
neys have received inquiries from firms
outside of the state which ship goods
into the state in regard to the time
when the new law goes into opera
ton.

No more potent factor in this evo-
luton of individual habit can be
found than the trolly car. With in
terurban lines running out of the
cities and towns professional and
business men as well as laborers have
found it possible to move into the
country, build homes in the fields or
among the trees where they can live
cheaply and comfortably, away from
the dust and noise and heat and yet
reach their Offices, their stores or
their employment quickly and cheap
". Thus has electricity played its
part giving health and comfort to
millions of people and in revivins an
interest in rural life and rural condi-
tons.
