PARDONS FOR TAYLOR AND
OTHERS.

On FRIDAY afternoon at 8 clock
Gov. Wilson granted full pardons
TO W. :. Taylor and Chas. Finley.
,now refugees in Indiana Jno. l..
Powers. Holland Whittaker. Jno.
W. Davis and Zach Steele. all
under indictment and untried for
participation in the assassination
Of GOV. VIM. Goeoel more than
nine years ago. The Governor
has done what most people thought
he would do. especially since he
pardonei Caleb Powers and Jim
Howard, only lie has delayed his
pardon.
The fact Of pardon will not
change the public opinion as to
the guilt or innocence of Taylor
and the others, nor will it change
the moral quality Of their act.
The Governor IS, we presume
satisfied: fol be was absolutely
sure that VIM. ;. Taylor had no
part in. nor thought of the muir
der of VIM. Goebel."
If he was 50 convinced why did
he not pardon him months ago!
so far as the Governor is concern
ed Taylor is a free man. We
hope that when the books are
opened in which impartial records
are kept and when true judgments
are rendered for deeds planned
and executed. he may be guiltless
through the blood of the Christ.

GAS RATES HIGHER.

After May l the price of gas
here will be increased from &c to
32c. The company claims that
they have a right to charge even
4Oc. and that heavy expenditures
necessitated the advance. A re-
cent dividend of q per cent. for
6 months has been declared. In
Lexington the city administration
will resist the increase, if possible
under the franchise. The increase
in that city is $4,000.

STATEMENT OF FUGITIyE.s.

The final ending of Gov. Will
son of the terrible reign of wrong
and persecution of innocent men
in Kentucky is to our minds an
added proof that there is "a God
of Israel, and that right will not
remain forever on the scaffold nor
wrong forever on the throne.
The long agony is over at last.
Kentucky now ends the persecu-
tons begun nine years ago in her
name.
Nothing, of course, can ever
make full amends for the great
wrong that has been done US, nor
for what we have suffered and
lost.
While the action of Gov. Will
son ends these prosecutions it does
not bring the end we would have
preferred. For nine years we
have pleaded for a trial-a fair
trial. There has never been
moment during all of this time
when we would not have been
willing and were not anxious to
return to Kentucky for such
trial. These pleas for simple
justice have always been denied.
The action of GOV, Wilson is
doubtless the voice of his deliber-
ate convictions that no such trials
were intended, or could be had.
I'VE would stultifv ourselves
were we to say that these have
not been hard, bitter and cruel
years to US. No human tongue
can tell, and no pen can write
what we have suffered as they
have dragged on. We doubt if
we should have been able to en-
dure them but for the loyalty.
friendship, love and sympathy of
old friends in Kentucky who stood
firm, fast and true and of new
friends in Indiana, who came to
us in the hours of dire need. Men
never lived who owe deeper
debt of gratitude to friends than
we. 1t is a debt we can never
hope to pay. The most we can
ever do is to acknowledge and
cherish it. That we will ever do.
so long as memory lives. The
recollection of the countless kind
nesses and unstinted sympathy

MAKES TEST CASE
OF NEW AUTO LAW
LIE Roy Mark Will Have
Courts Pass on Its Con-

lie Roy Mark. an automobile insurance
agent, with offices in the Colorado build
ing. hled in the Supreme Court OF the
District Of Columbia today through the
legal firm OF Penneypac5ter, Carusi &
Jones. a petition for a writ of certiorari
designed 10 test the constitutional1ty of
that section OF the District appropriation
bin Tor the fiscal year ending June 30,
1910. imposing a wheel lax on automo-
biles In the District Of C1ls4abla.
The action is iDtS=SSst't TO be 8 test
case, and in brief, y esed upon the
ground that under tae present statute
automobile owners are oblse-sa to nay
double taxs Congress hss fng passed
law IN 1903 imposing a tax of III
per cent ad valorem as a personal
property tax, which applies to auto
mobiles in conjunction and together
with the more recent wheel tax.
Important Case.
The test case is an important one
TO the citizens Of the District mas
much as there are now 4,532 auto
mobiles IN Washing gton, all OF which
arc subject to both taxes. In esti-
mating the amount OF money that the
owners Of these machines pay into

SCISSOR under the dual law. Mr.. Mark
today say that the District govern
ment would benefit aggregately 10
the amount Of $4,000 from the wheel
tax alone.
Mr.. Mark claimed that the District
tax office was slow in enforcing the
wheel tax law by reason OF The fact
that the statute included no penalty.
District Tax Assessor Richards admitted
the absence OF a penalty 10 a reporter
for The Times but added that by the
time his office was prepared to collect
the wheel tax he would no doubt have
ample opportunity to go before Con-
gress and secure an amendment meet

First Served.
Mr. Mark is the frst automobile own

has been served. IL fact he took the
initiative in the premises, insisting that
his tax bill be furnished him-his object
being TO so into the District Supreme
Court and test its cOnstitutionality. Mr..
Mark owns an automobile upon which,
under the provisions Of the law, there
Is an annual tax of s. imposed, and il
is upon that amount that the suit is
based.
In speaking Of his petition Mr.. Mark
seid today:

this act Is constitutional or not And r.
doing so think I will be rendering a
service to the owners Of the remaining
4,5S1 automobiles In the District. In my
