GOOD GOVERNMENT" BY
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY

In the making of n tariff law, one
| would naturally suppose that those
least able to bear the burdens of
taxation would not be Disseminated
against in favor of those best able
to pay the tax involved in any tariff
levy.
But what are the facts?
The man who imports 81 900 worth
Of diamonds pays tax of but 500
10 per cent. II he imported thou
sand shirts worth Il dollar each he
would have TO leave at the customs
house and tack onto his selling
prices 1861 600. IL per cent.
II he decided that ne would bring
in II 900 worth of champagne, one
of the items upon which there is a
large increase, the tax levied by the
tariff is 800. II he brought in II 900
worth of blankets he would pay
tariff tax of 81 ,6ij.42.
If he brought in 1000 worth of
piiilllllE anu NihNuul All Ilt NbNiu
have to pay as customs duties would
be 500, but if II were sugar he would
pay $3.50 tax on 81 900 worth.
If he brought in 81 900 worth of
jewelry he would have to pay 5000
tariff tax, but II he brought in 81 900
worth Of wool dress goods he would
pay 81 ,0j0.92 tariff.
If he imported 5000 automobile
the tariff takers would relieve him
of s., $50. II 1t were $1,000 worth of
yarns the tariff tax would be So 800.
If the importations were $1,000
worth of furs the tariff tax would be
81 $50, but If it were 5000 worth of
clothing that tax would be 81 400.
II some New York millionaire
brings in n 100000 ocean-going
yacht the tariff would be $34 900, but
If the importation were stockings
the tariff collected would be $S7, $50.

THE REPUBLICAN PRESS
AGENTS FAUX PAS.

ing, erstwhile preacher, expelled
from the Southern Methodist Com
ference, formerly Democrat, later
"A Populist, still later Prohibition
list and temperance lecturer, lately n
lobbyist for the st. Louis Brewers,
now II Republican, occupying the
exalted position as State Press
Agent for the G.. O. F., has been
sending out some figures to the Re
publican press, charging that the
four Democratic Offices, Secretary
of State, State Treasurer, State Au-
ditOr and Permanent seat of Gov
ornmeut have increased the salaries
Of their departments Sj,O4O.O0 per
year.
This statement is false. There
has been an increase in the Audi
tors Office of 81 10000; one clerk at
~ 800, which was endorsed by the
former Republican Chief Clerk in
the Auditors office, and argued by
him before the Republican House
Appropriation Committee ms being
an absolute necessity in that office.
The Appropriation Committee, after
n thorough investigation into the
matter, saw that ii was needed and
ii was granted so that the business
OF the Office might be eXpediated.
The stenOgraphers in the Auditor
Office and Treasurer's Office were
raised $500 year to make them the
same salary as was paid other stem
ographers in the Capitol. The Per-
manent Seat of Government has
added two men, at 1920 each per
year, $l440, making total raise in
these four departments of $3.50 per
year, but no increase was made in
the Office of Secretary of State.
Since Brother Deering has looked
into the matter of the amount Of
raises in Democratic offices, we be-
lieve IL fair that the raises in some
other departments might be noted.

Mr.. Moody, President of the
National Association of Live Stock
Exchanges, says the present high
prices of meat should be regarded
as u blessing instead Of a menace,
and that the laboring man should
demand more money for his labor
rather than abstain from eating
meats. " But there the rub.
How is the laboring man to get
more money for his labor even il
he demands itf The supply OF la
Dor is greater than the demand,
and many men are idle aud not
able to eat meat or get many Of
the other necessaries Of life. 1t is
not only meat but nearly every
other article of food that is beyond
his means.
The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1910-01-27

There has been Il good deal of
talk IN the papers the past week
or two about n meat strike and
reports of various organizations
and Others declaring that they
would abstain from eating meat
for cetrain length of time on ac-
count Of high prices and the COM
bination of packers to charge all
the tariff will bear. But meat is
not the only high priced article of
food-there are flour, butter, eggs.
etc. 1t is just like the strikes of
labor for more wages-the big cor.
porations are in better condition
to hold out than their striking en-
ployes; the corporations benefit by
the strike which enables them to
get rid of their surplus products at
trust prices, while striking labor
suffers and is starved into submis.
sion, for the supply of labor is
greater than the demand. In this
meat striking business the packing
trusts cold storage can hold out
longer than the peoples stomach,
and the boycotting of meat would
only have tendency to increase
the demand and hence the price for
other articles of food; and there

certain contingency. 1t was simply
n pleasant and truthful little story
OF what was current all over town
how Mr. Pigg was anxious to ge
back into the newspaper business
here and his inspiration that prob
ably the Messrs. Denman, out 0I
their sOlcitude for the material
welfare of the religious sect OF
their preference, would release him
from promise made them when
they bought The News of him some
ten years ago. The facts as given
were correct, the only hitch if any
being whether the promise was
verbal or written, which doesn [
matter. as Mr.. Pigg holds that no
forfeiture was implied and that 1t
was moral and in no sense a legal
obligation But why the putting
of these facts into cold type should
so eXasperate The News as 10 make

than 1t did under Democratic rule :.
The Adjutant Generals Office costs
the people under Republican rule
81, 200 per year more than II did un-
der Democratic rule. The Govern
or's Mansion, including his 81 600
team and surrey and the 500 year
the State pays for the board of the
Governors servants, costs the peo-
| pie 81, 92l 90 more than 1t did under

NO STATE MONEY AVAILABLE
FOR GOOD ROADS,

In reply To letter of County
| Clerk Lawrence to the State Audi
tor asking il there were any funds
in the General State Road Fund
available for this year, he received
the following letter from State Au-
! ditOr John Z. Gordon: ain reply
to your letter of the oath inst, will
say that mt present there is no mon
ey available for good roads. The
last Legislature appropriated $780,
900 for good roads" but it is to
come from the sale of stamps by the
State Auditor for the future delivery
of stocks, bonds, ETC., and at pres
ent this matter is in the courts, and
no money has been paid into the
State Treasury, and am unable to
say when 1t will be settled"
Had there been any funds avail
able, this county would have been
entitled to per cent OF the amount;
for instance, IL the whole $500 900
appropriated were available, we
would be in position to secuse
$4,000, or three per cent OF the
whole amount as provided for in
section 4 of the good roads law.
