II looks now as if the matter of in
scroased tax rate will be the principal
issue in the municipal election this
fall. With the great demands for i'm
prCvements, due to the rapid growth
of the city. the opinion is general IN
the city hall that it will be almost i'm
possible 10 cut the 1910 tax rate
materially below the 1909 rate OF
SlS.07. This will give the Democrats
opportunity to make a campaign on
the issue Of retrenchment, arguing
that the two years OF the Breitmeyer
administration have been the most ex.
pensive in the city's history. While
the mayor has not had any direct part
In the increase OF taxes, the RESPONSE
Dility for that lying on the council and
board OF estimates, which fix the ap-
preparations, his speeches in favor of
improvements will tend to make him
the target for criticism.
The mayor has no intention OF be
ing on the defensive, but will appeal
directly TO the people as to whether
they want adequate police and fire
protection, good paving and clean
streets and alleys, enough lights and
more schools and sewer facilities. Il
VIII be urged that the tax rate was
held down artificially for several
years and that the present increase OF
81 so represents the cost OF improve
ments which could not be held back
longer, as we'll as the difference be
tween efficient municipal service and
Indifferent service.
II may be that the taxation issue
will also tend TO fix public attention
upon the election of members OF the
board Of estimates. There has rarely
been any great interest taken in the
election of the members of this board
which has the final say on all appro-
priaticns. Every estimator who goes
out for reelection will have 10 ex.
plain the difficulties Of budget-making
and the mayors advisers figure that
each one will be, indirectly, an advo-
cate for him.

One great worry Just now is over
the enrolment of voters. All who
were eligible to vote for governor III
1908 are eligible. TO vote for state.
county and city candidates now In the
primary. But they are only frac-
ton OF the voting population. There
will have TO be a lively hustling out
OF reluctant voters TO get even a re-
spectacle showing in the party pri-
maries next September The Codd-
Dover faction of the Republicans is
strong in the enrolment just now.
That Is proven by the big Bradley
vote which was polled In this city
last campaign. Dever being the local
Bradley manager. other clans of the
party will endeavor to get out their
full voting strength and the independ-
ent citizen who neglects TO enroll will
find himself as importat on primary
day as to the hole in the doughnut.

II is becoming apparent that the
contests within the Republican party
next fall are going to be few On the
city ticket the mayoralty ia the only
thing which promises contest, and
that is only a faint promise. There
are a lot OF men who would like the
nomination. but they don't like to take
the chance. There will be the ward
contests of course, but City Clerk
Nichols and City Treasurer Koch have
nothing TO worry over.
With regard to the county ticket,
there is sweet contentment in tho
Nofflces OF Sheriff CASTOR, Treasurer
Moeller, Clerk Farrell and Register OF
Deeds Stoll. There will be a scrap on
for county auditor, another for the
circuit court commissionerships, and
a third for the coroners' jobs. But
1t will not be anything like the bitter
war Of 1908 when the fight was on all
and down the ticket
The real vortex seems TO be in the
line OF legislative nominations, Re-
publican nomination being equivalent
to an election. Here the liquor question
enters in very strongly, and the sa-
loonkeepers will PULL one way while
the brewers and the advocates OF a
strict law tug the other way Candi-
dates who enter that fight with gray
hair will have an advantage over
others. inasmuch as they will not
change so much during the feverish
weeks prior to nominations.

Charles F. Heyerman, real estate
man in the McGraw building, is one
of the chorus of possibilities for alder
men in the First ward. Republican?
Why, of course.
There is a big balance OF power in
the coming election in Detroit which
none of the politicians knows much
about. This balance consists OF the
! thousands of workmen who have come
into the city within the past two years
in consequence Of the building OF new
Industrial plants here and the enlarge
ment of present plants These voters
have never had a hand in the choice
OF city officers before; they come to
the study OF Detroit politics with I'M
prejudiced minds.
For the most part, this influx OF new
electors is Of the best character. The
men are those who read and who will
judge of the merits OF the candidates
and issues without the bias OF old-time
views based on previous campaigns,
How are they going to throw the next
election? This is what all the politi
clans are wondering.
The votes of this element OF new
corners are going to be of immense
strength in the settlement OF the
street railway question. The new De
troiters have not been in the fight
for the past two decades and no one
knows whether the majority of them
are for municipal ownership. for a
short-term franchise or for three-cent
fares without a compromise. II is a
blind guess that anyone must make
But whichever side corrals these new
voters will come very close to win
ming the election.

Get Ready to Come to the Fair

On October the gates of the best fair that has ever been held in Ala bama will be opened to visitors and not one of them will return through those gates disappointed, for there will he numerous and excellent exhibits in every department. In every section of the fair from the woman's department to the live stock exhibit there will be fine attractions largely of an educa- tive nature.
 Never before had the Alabama State Fair been brought up to the standard of this year, and in this respect we are speaking of the actual productions of the state rather than of outside at- fractions.
 In the matter of special features surely it should suffice to mention the f1ights-twice each day--of a Wright aeroplane navigated by one of the most skilled of the Dayton school of avia- tors. This attraction alone costs a small fortune, and while 1t is here the visitor at the fair can study at close range and in the air the wonder of the year and the age. It is through the Wright biplane that the world has won its advance in the conquest of the air and the managers of the fair have secured to Alabama the real article.

 MT. Roosevelt and new nationa1lsm are also plainly entered for the 1912 race. Nothing can be palmer than that, and the fact that he Is before. the people for third term will probably keep him out of the hopeless New York race as a can didate for governor.

He keeps 1t in stock where he can draw on 1t at every emer- gency.
 But 1t Is difficult two years in advance to say how MT. Taft and MT. Roose- welt will stand before the people in June, 1912. MT. Taft made the mistake of his like at winona, and he is now trying to back out of 1t by the piecemeal route. Mir. Roosevelt has made no Winona speech, but he. too, advocates piecemeai revision.
 The election of a democratic House of Representatives in November-now practi- cally assured-would, however. upset and soulch piecemeal revision until after 1912 for the democrats would go straight to work to pass tariff for revenue only, and on that tariff as compared with the Aldrich-Payne instrument the race of 1912 would be run. New nationalism can not displace the tariff and the cost of living as an issue. The democrats will have in line ready for promotion to1lead- ership Marshall of Indiana, Harmon of Ohio, Gaynor of New York, Folk Of Mis- souri. and possibly Baldwin of Connecti- cut and woodrow Wilson of New Jersey. They need not look any further. All they need do is to lay down in 1s11-12 tariff for revenue only and victory is al- most within their grasp regardless or what either Taft or Roosevelt may cham pion in a period of change and discon- tent.

LOrimer to Be Tried for Bribery

Paynter, Kentucky democrat, and Joseph F. Johnston. Ala bama, democrat
 All the members of this subcommittee are lawyers except Senator Bulkeley. but it is not believed they will attempt to confine the evidence to that admissible in a court of law. What the people want is the whole truth. They want to know how it came about that 32 democrats were induced to cast their votes for a machine republican when the election for United States senator, long deadlocked. came to a focus in Springfield.
 l Although the matter was on Its face | wholly out of the ordinary and presuma- bly, corrupt, yet so demoralized have poli- tics become in Illinois p of the 32 Lori mer democrats were renominated in the recent primaries, and so was Speaker Shurtleff, a republican, who engineered the entire scheme that seated Lorimer in the senate.
 In November the people of Illinois will say at the polls what they think con- corning such bargains.

Looking BeYdhd November

The rumor factories are running more than double-shift, and they will continue to be active even after the New York conventions are held next week. Those conventions will clear up many myster- les in the most popolous state in the union, but all must wait in patience un- til November before many pending prob lems are decided.
 And when we know how New York has gone and who is to control the House of Representatives in the Sixty-second Con- gress, then will come the preparations for 1912. The recent meeting in New Haven of the President and the ex- President means that 1912 is already looming up.
 It is plain that MT. Taft is something
