EDITOR BLANTON ON TAXATION
An Allie Democratic Editor in Line
With Republican Ideas end the
Governors Views.

AtlPsris, in Monroe county, lives
a Democratic editor who is liable
to the charge OF treason against
his party for he has published an
editouial entirely out of line with
the editorial apd oritaYical express
sinos Of Democratic leaders. He
really advocates the very ideas
which have been vigorously put
forth 10y our Republican governor,
and has written Republican senti-
ments on taxation as well or bet
ter than they could have been ex-
pressed by Republican editor.
Mr.. Blanton, editor of the Paris
Appeal, a sterling Democratic pa
per. wrote and published the fol-
lowing editorial:
"Did you ever notice that the
man who pays no taxes is the one
who hollcrs the loudest against
policies and enterprises that de-
mands slight increase in the
levya
alt has ever been thus. The
bagaboo OF higher taxation, gen.
orally raised by men who pay lit
tie, III any at all, has blinded Mis-
sourian-s to their own interests aud
refard the development of the
staee's wonderful resources We
need better roads, more bridges,
better public buildings-things
that make life worth living-and
yet we do without them because
some irresponsible psblic man or
private ,citizenscares the taste out
of our mouths by visions of bank
ruptcy that will follow a tax of 10c
zoe or SOC on the 500.
The fact that lands no better
than ours sell for twice the price
in other states is not due to the
fact that taxes are higher in those
states, OF conrse, and it is merely
because better roads, better public
buildings, and nore public con
veniences have been provided by
those taxes. We Missourians are
able to have what ever we need,
but we will do without a whole lot
good things as long as we allow
cert ain class of our population to
scar US into a panic whenever q
trifling increase in taxation is
m entioned."

cat any rate, Ball Is in the fight

And If Col. Norton is not candi-

A it looks now, unless Clark runs
