forward in election matters. The re-
cent session of the legislature OF that
state passed Law providing for the
payment BY the state OF share Of
the election expenses Of the candi-
dates. Speaking of the bill. which
was recently signed BY the governor
the Denver News says:
Colorado takes step far I'm ad-
vance of other states by enacting
this law. which is one OF the most
drastic ever drafted on the question

eliminated if the law is enforced.
Corporation officials will find them
selves facing the penitentiary IL they
violate IT, Candidates found guilty
of receiving contributions from
sources other than those provided
in the law also will see the inside

which was introduced in the senate
by Senator Campbell and in the house
by Representative Weiser, the stare
gives each party in the next general
election % cents for each vote cast
for governor by that party at the
last election. One-half of this goes
to the county chairman, according
to votes cast The only other con-
tributors can be the candidates them
selves and their contributions are
limited to 40 per cent of the first
years salary. or % per cent of the
fees in case the office to which they
aspire is on that revenue basis

Census Bureau Estimates.

Statisticians who are eminently
qualified to form estimates believe that
the United States census to be taken
next year will show a population of
between 10000, 900 and $4,000. 900.
They would not be surprised if the fig
ures ran as high as 100, 900, 900. These
estimates are made from the Census
Bureau figures of the popu' alton of the
United States up to the last census of
1900 as compared with estimated popu-
lation of the larger cities Of the Unit
ed States for 1908. While the Census
Bureau is not permitted to offer any
such advance estimates its officials rely
implicitly upon the knowledge and
ability of the statisticians who make
these estimates.

I'VE Pay the Tax"

There is more fraud, deception and
graft in the wool and WOODEN schedule
than in any other part of the tariff
law, says the Commoner. On the
theory that wooden goods are all wool
the manufacturers demand and secured
a compensatory duty equal to all they
would have to pay if all their ma terial
was foreign wool. AS long as we
concede that a wool grower is entitled
to protection we can not oppose the
protective principle elsewhere.
Now is the time for those who pay
the tax to get together and demand
free wool and cheaper clothing" If
the farmers who raise sheep re will
ing to stand with the manufacturers in
order to retain the tax on wool let
them organize I'VE Get the Tax
clubs so that the public will know
when they advocate the protective sys-
tenn. If those who pay the tax would
make business of politics as those do
who get the tax, it would not take long
to reduce the tariff.

Let Them Divide HonOrs.

The civilized world seems to be on
the verge of controversy between
Cook and Peary as to who discovered
the North Pole, says an exchange. If
Cooks story is true he is the first dis
coverer and the world generally has
accepted his story as true. Peary's
bomhastic claimsswired from Labrador
are in striking contract to Cooks mod
est claims and his statement that he
was the first man to discover the
pole" is in bad taste in view of the
fact that he has not seen Cook
proofs. He must have heard of Cook s
claims in Greenland, where the latter
spent much of the time after returning
from the pole last year. If not, how
did he know that his own claim was
disputed. If both men have been to
the pole, let them divide the great
honor and not disgust the whole world
by display of personal bitterness and
envy unwcrtby of great men.
