Mr.. PoinGexter's Record.

Referring to the record we find that
Mr.. Poindexter voted against the tariff
law and in doing SO he voted to leave
the Dingley law, which contained higher
duties than the Payne law, in full force
upon the statute books. He voted
against free hides, free art, free trade
with the Philippines and a maximum
tariff; be voted against increasing our
revenues more than $50,00O,0OO in
round numbers; he voted against a
tariff board or commission. 1t is as
clear as day that Poindexter is free
trader, hence no tariff law could be made
to suit him.

Maximum and Minimum Provisions

"t2) The maximum and minimum
provisions under which reciprocal trade
treaties have been made with all the
commercial nations OF the world by
which so per cent OF our exports now
enter those countries free of duty and of
the remaining so per cent S5 per cent
goes in under their minimum tariff, that
is, under the lowest tariff allowed to the
products OF any other nation. This law
has already enlarged our foreign mar
kets and enabled us to sell annually
millions of dollars worth OF our pro-
duets in excess of what we were able TO
do under the old law.

MR.. POINDExTER INSURGES IN COLFAX
Indulges in Extravagant Statements, Wild
Assertions, Misleading Information---
Tariff Law Not Discussed.

Miles Poindexter, insurgent candidate
for the United States senate, spoke in
the court house Tuesday evening, and
for extravagant statement, wild asser-
tion and misleading information it prob
ably never before had it's equal in pub
lie utterance in this community. For
the two hours and more that he spoke
everything was colored and disiointed to
suit his political purpose. His loose talk
was reminder OF the populistic days OF
1896 Nothing that he said, from Can
nonism and Aldrchism" down, but what
has been referred to by The Gazette
many times in the past, and we have
only space at this time to consider a few
of the mistatements he made Tuesday
night.
The speaker was introduced by DR.. j.
n Pocock. There were probably 200
present, many democrats being observ-
able in the audience.
No Attempt to Discuss Tariff Law.
He made no attempt to discuss the
new tariff law. He declared it was con-
ceived in fraud and was intended to
hOodwink and deceive the people. 1t
was bald assertion from beginning to
end. This was so in contrast with the
dignifed and scholarly discussion OF the
tariff question by Judge Burke in the
same room last week as to call forth
comment from many in the audience.
The Gazette elsewhere in this issue prints
liberal excerpt from Judge Burke's
speech, to which it calls the careful at
tention OF readers. The difference be-
tween the two men and their handling OF
the subject is the off renee between a
scholar and q statesman and that OF q
blatherskite and political mountebank.
Effect of New Law.
The tariff law has been in force for
little over year, and if it was the in
iouitous measure Mr.. Poindexter claims
it 20 be it would be manifest before now.
1t has Increased the revenues OF the
government, with less burden on the
people, than the old law. Read what
Judge Burke said on the corporation tax
law, the maximum and minimum provis-
ions as we'll as the tariff commission, all
of which MIR. Poindexter voted against
in congress, and Judge whether the con-
gresham is right in his wholesale de
nuncistion. Let US hope that the tariff
commission appointed by President Taft.
which was denounced by MIR. Poindexter
Tuesday night, will succeed in taking
this great economic question out OF
politics, thus depriving politicians OF the
Poindexter caliber of much of their po-
litical capital. No one claims the tariff
law to be perfect. Under present modes
OF procedure that is an impossibility.
But beginning has been mede to get a
perfect instrument, which will come in
time through a tariff commission. The
commission should be equipped with
funds and with expert assistants will be
enabled to make careful study and re-
port of the best of production at home
and abroad, of every article produced by
or imported into this country, thus en-
abling congress, when the occasion
arises, to enact tariff legislation based

The Corporation Tax Law.

"Q) The corporation tax law, which
provides for the levy of a tax upon the
corporations of the country, now is pro-
ducing revenue to the government Of
upwards OF $25, 100000 year. 1t fur
ther provides for reports to be fled in
Washington showing, among other
things. the amount Of the capital stock.
the amount of the bonded indebtedness,
the gross income and the net income of
every corporation Except the very small
ones) and the amount of taxes paid by
each. No more effective and salutary
law for the control of corporations and
the protection of the public against cor
porate abuses has ever been enacted in
this country. 1t throws o food OF light
upon the management and conduct of
corporations, the best of all safeguards
against corporate abuses.

impracticahle crank and the disappointed

filed the country with the most terrify-

"a perfect tariff law never was and

under specific ports, ii is apparent
that large amount of water terminal
frontage is everywhere controlled by
railroads. While mUcn of this con.
troll is undoubtedly necessary and
commercially advantageous, neverthe-
less it is TO be remembered that at
present the rail and water systems
are often In vigorous competition.
The control by one system Of the
terminals upon which a rival system

Importance. Furtherntre. railroad

organization. For these reasons there
is summarized below the general sit,
,,ation as regards such railroad con.
troll.
Railroads control large amount OF
water terminals directly or through
subsidiary concerns.
Along the Mississippi River system
the railroad ownership is important,
not so much in active use of water
terminals as in general ownership
of river frontage. which results in a
passive obstruction to its proper use
, Tor water traffic. This is especially
noticeable at Pittsburg, Cincinnati
Louisville, Cairo, st. Louis, Memphis
and Vicksbure. In a number of the
smaller river ports all river traffic
must cross rail lines in order to reach
the town. BY far the greater part Of
the navigable portions of the Missis.
sippi and Ohio rivers is paraleled on
one and often on both banks by va
rious railroad systems. Their tracks
and trestles often present serious oh
stacles to the proper use of the banks
