The Canadian market price is the

our prices so much higher that we

TRUE ORIGIN OF THE
FRENCH REVOLUTION

Our system of taxation had its origin
in the period of feudalism, when the
tax was laid upon those, and those only,
who could not resist the payment of it.
The plan then was earnestly argued
in those days--that it was proper dis
tributiOn of the burdens of government
that the clergy should pray for the
government, the mobiles fight for it, and
the common people should pay the
taxes.
The first fruits of that system, and
the first modification of that system,
were had during that economic and
moral CONFUSION which shook the moral
universe from center to circumference
the French Revolution.
History disputes today as to the
cause of the French Revolution.
II you would know the cause, you
will not find it in the days transporting
with the fall of the Bastile; you will
not find it in the days when Robesperre
drunk with human blood, leaned against
the pillars of the assembly and listened
to his own doom. :.
1t is back of that. 1t is in those
immediate years preceding, when the
burden of government had become in
tolerable, when the stipends paid to
the miserable satellites of royalty had
become criminal; when bureaucracy
reached out into every part of the
nation and bore down upon the energies
and the industries of the common man;
and when eighty-fve per cent of that
fearful burden was collected from the
peasantry of France, which forced them
from their little homes and farms into
the sinks and dives of Paris, where the
French Revolution was born National

was obliged to put up guarantee.
Season tickets for the five attractions
have sold at the low price of $2--only
40 cents for each number. and the club
is yet short $40 in having the amount
required for the FIVE attractions in the
bank. To raise this amount they will
sell thlrty.five more tickets at 50, il
bought before the Oath, after that date
no season tickets will be placed on sale.
and admission will be so and 70 cents
for each performance.
Dates have already been made for
the succeeding four attractions. as
follows: Ross Crane, February 18th;
The Rooney Boys, March 9Th; The Dell
Fox Company, March 18th and the
Chicago Glee Club. March 22nd. If you
do not have season ticket, buy before

doubt. Some, relying chiefly upon
European precedents. expect marked
cheapening of transportation charges
from the competition of railroad and
canal lines, but others fail to find in
American experience any real justifica-
tion for this hope. However, a few
leading facts seem established beyond
reasonable question.

PROMINENT FLORIDIAN
GOES TO HISIRfWARD


Judge G. P. Raney, one of the most
prominent citizens of FloridAs and a
resident of Tallahassee. died in that
city on Sunday'last. But few men in
this state have been hOnOred as was
the deceased. Governor Gilchrist issu-
ed a proclamation closing all the de-
partments of the state in the capitol
Monday and the business houses of
that city were closed in memory Of his
worth and character. The Supreme
Court of the state attended the funeral
in body. Judge Raney was born in
Apalachicola, Fla, in 1845 and was the
son of David G. Raney who came from
Virginia in 1926. He was prominent
lawyer, having attended the law univer-
sity of Virginia, he was elected to the
legislature from Franklin county in
1868 and was one of tho few Democra-
tic leaders that year. In 1877 he was
appointed Attorney General by Govern
or Drew, and in 1881 was reappOinted
by Governor Bloxham, and during this
eight years was, by virture of his
office, attorney of the Board of Trustees
of the Internal Improvement Fund,
He was chief justice of the Supreme
Court of Florida until his resignation
in, 1894, completing nine years on the
bench. In 1908 and 1905 he was state
senator from the Eighth Senatorial
District.

ure, 39l. 1t will be increased and the
number probably will be 433 or 440.
If the membership were not changed
several States would lose members,
some of them one and some two. The
States thus mentioned have representa-
tion in the House to the total of 149.
No bill aimed at those States would be
likely to pass. 1t could not even get
out of committee, according to Mr..
Crumpacker. The Democrats would be
the serious loosers.
Representative Alexander of Missou-
ri has come forward with a plan which
Republicans and Democrats alike pro-
nounce the best yet, and which they
have promised to support. Mr.. Alex
ander's plan contemplates an increase
in the membership from 391 to 433, the
smallest increase that can be made
without reducing the size of some of
the State delegations. The basis of
representation as fixed by the Missouri
an is one representative to every GIL.
500 people or major fraction thereof.
The plan is to be presented to Con-
gress Immediately. 1t appeals with
force to those members from the eigh-
teen States which would be losers should
some of the House leaders be able to
carry out their determination to ha We
the total membership go no higher than
400. The States which W .uld lose rep
resentatives under the 400 rule are
Arkansas, Kentucky, Maine. Maryland.
Mississippi Missouri, Nebraska, New
Hampshire, North Carolina, South
Carolina. Tennessee, Vermont, Virginia
and Wisconsin. These states have 149
votes in the House.
The actual increase in the House
membership under the Alexander plan
would be AZ. Under this plan New
York would be the biggest gamer, that
State having made larger addition to
its population than any other State in
the Union. The delegation in the
House from New York would go up
from 81 to AZ; Pennsylvania would add
four; California and Oklahoma. three
each; Illinois, Massachusetts,, New
Jersey, Texas and Washington. two
each. and Alabama, Colorado, Florida.
Georgia, Idaho, Louisiana, Michigan,
Minnesota, Montana, North Dakota,
Ohio. Oregon. Rhode Island, South
Dakota, Utah. West Virginia one each.

seems extreemly probable that the race
will be between him and Bryan.

more than two-thirds as large as that
cast in the primary in which ex-Govern-

Mr.. Stockton captured several coun.
ties with handsome majorities, and may
yet be able to show that he is entitled
to ran it off with Mr.. Blount. His sup
porters throughout the State are al

the next primary is held.

instances, but it is hardly probable that
there will be any material change in
