ton senators had any doubt about the
attitude of President Taft toward the
Canadian reciprocity agreement it was
removed when Senators Crane and
Carter returned to the Capitol from a
conference with the president at. the
White House. The message which
these senators brought to their col
leagues was that there must be vote
on the agreement at the present ses-
sion, or congress will be called back
in extra session almost Immediately
after adjournment on March 4.
Although Messrs. Crane and Carter
declined to discuss their mission to
the White House the report soon
leaked out that the president was in
sistent upon vote. 1t is said he
made plain his belief that the country
generally favored the adoption of a
reciprocity agreement with Canada;
that the Mccall bill to put the agree
ment into force will pass the house
with large majority and that the SEN
ate would enact the measure if given
an opportunity to vote upon it.
Senate Rules May Aid Defeat.
The rules of the senate, which per-
NIT untrammeled discussion of
measure, are principal barriers to a
vote in that body. 1t is known that
Senators Hepburn and Bailey are bit
terly opposed to the agreement and
that the opposition extends also to
most of the progressive Republicans
who represent agricultural states.
Some of these senators have limited
that their relations with the White
House have not been sufficiently pleas
ant of late to cause them to exert
tration measure.
Senators Crane and Carter entered
at once upon a campaign designed
to advance the presidents pro-
gramme.
Already they have conferred with
other senators who are especially
friendly to the administration and
have sought to enlist their services in
a movement to obviate the necessity
of an extra session.
Reciprocity Stands First.
The impression has prevailed at the
Capitol that President Taft would in
sist upon votes on both the Canadian
agreement and the bill to create a
permanent tariff board, but this par
TALLY was removed. According to the
general report at the Capitol the pres
1demt placed the Canadian agreement
above the tariff board measure and
would be satisfied if the former were
enacted at this session.
In the event the permanent tariff
board should fail it is believed that
an appropriation would be voted in
the closing days of the session to con-
tinue the existing board for another
year. If an extra session should be
called by reason of the failure of the
senate to grant a vote on the Canadian
agreement it is understood that the
president then would demand the
creation of permanent tariff board
and might go so far as to promise data
on the wool and wooden schedule of
the tariff act if the Democratic house
desired it.

steaders.

Washington, Feb. 9.-The Gamble
bill for the relief of settlers in North
and South Dakota, Nebraska and 9TH
er states has passed the house and
senate and now goes to the president
for approval.
The bill relieves homesteaders from
the necessity of occupying claims dur
ing the winter months. It gives them
leave of absence from their claims
until May Is and extends until that
date the time within which they are
required to effect an actual settle
ment.

The Cairo bulletin., 1911-02-19

The underlying principle OF county
option which some very good and
very Jealous people are trying to
force upon the people of Illinois is a
subversion OF the principle of local
self-government for the cities. The
theory seems to be that the people
OF the city are bad and the people OF
the country precincts nre good, or
not 80 bad Therefore the people OF
the country precincts viii govern a
city better than the people of the
city can or will--if given the power
to do SO. Granting tnfs to be true 1t
is none the less fact that some OF
the most scandalous verdicts IN our
courts, which have gone Tong way
to disturb law and order In the elites
have been rendered by iuries com
posed of men from the country pre
cincts. II has been so In Cairo and
in many other cities.

LEGISLATURE TAXES
BY H. r. Potter.

The state legislature is prolific of
schemes to increase taxation in
many ways. Sometimes this taxation
does not appear in the general bud
get, but much of it does. That which
does not falls upon somebody and has
to be paid. Boards are constituted
to license a certain class OF people,
a class or two for each board. These
licenses are paid for by those re-
ceiving them. In addition, there Is a
list of penalties a state board may
impose for infractions Of many regu'
lations provided in the statute Great
ing the board. There are salari2d
inspectors ransacking the state at all
times to inspect many things, and
it is their province 70 arraign IN
court and have fined, with costs ada
ed, those found violating some regu-
lat'ons imposed by statute and OF
which the victim is frequently ig'
norant This constitutes a tax un-
known a decade or two back. Then
there is the extravaganza ever IN
creasing in voting appropriations tc
state institutions anG creating new
ones, Nor do the soIons fail to look
cut for themselves. Their allowances
get boost frequently. they receive
now four times the amount they did
thirty years ago and the end is not
yet.
But they swell county and city
taxes, frequently when municipalities
are trying to reduce them, ana TINS
often in the name of REFORM. To re-
form politics and the ballot the Aus
tralian system of voting was INTRO
ducel. This imposed large ex-
pense upon counties and cities. After
wards came the primary elections
doubling the number or elections, and
the expense accordingly. Also the
election commission, adding much to
election expenses. The latter, how
ever, Is optional with the municipall'
ty, which can adopt 1t or not, as II
sees fit. Cairo adopted 1t, and per
haps wisely, although adding c1n
siderable sum annually TO the city's
expenses. AS matters were drifting
here at elections, 1t seemed necessary
to interpose something 70 protect tht
purity of the ballot. But the worl
Of the legislature as whole Is dis
couraging to those seeking to reduce
taxation to the needs Of the state anc
municipal governments when econom
ically administered.
