Washington Letter.
Ry Tavenner.

Another step toward carrying
cut campaign pledges was taken
by the majority Of the House
Of Representatives when it.
adopted a cotton schedule which
greatly reduces the tax on all
kinds of cotton goods.
If the Republican Senate and
President Taft will permit the
bill to become a law, the public
will be assured of substantial re-
ductions in prices. The bill is
so framed as to be a particular
boon to the poor, for the great
est reductions are made ON
cottons used by the middle
classes and the poor, This
feature Of the Democratic bill
is in particularly striking con-
trast to the P~ayne-Aldrich law,
which levies the lowest rates
on the grades of cottons used
by the wealthy and the high
est tax on the cottons used by
the poor.
The Payne-Aldrich tax of
5000 per cent on ready made
clothing and articles of wear
ing apparel Of every description
composed of cotton or vegetable
fibre is reduced to 30 per cent
The Payne-Aldrich tax Of A
per cent on blankets and quilts.
towels, doilies, batting, mOps,
washrags, etc, is reduced to %
per cent. The Payne-Aldrich
duty of 5O.O2 on sheets is cut
to 25 per cent. The Payne
Aldrich tax on shirts, sweaters,
and all articles of cotton under
wear of every description is re-
duced to 80 per cent. Similar
reductions are made on every
item in the entire cotton SEIZED
ule.

WHY NOT A ROOSEVELT IN
VESTIGATION2

During the present auditing by
the Democratic House of the Re
publican administrations for the
last decade, it wouldn't be out Of
place to look into the Roosevelt
Hartman episode. The late
railroad king raised 100000 at
Roosevelt S request to save New
York for the Republicans in the
Roosevelt Parker campaign.
REPUBLICAN CHAOS.
The Republicans are literally
up in the air, their old-time
stand-bys, props and policies all
shake in the Democratic upheaval
Reciprocity has helped Taft OF
course, but the Republicans have
always won ON protection. Taft
has abandoned protection and
the result is a matter of spec
ulation.

p meeting of the County
Democratic Committee has been
called for SATURDAY. and as there
will be important business trans
acted every member should try
to be present. At this meeting
the Committee must decide
whether or not a primary will
be held for nominating county
officers. when 1t shall be held
and appoint judges and clerk s,
We would impress upon the com
mittee the importance of avoid
inc all appearance of favOratism
by placing at every presirc,
Representatives Of each faction
and whenever possible of each
candidate. PeTs onally we be-
fieve that primary should be
held tor the nomination of couu
ty officers. The primary at pre-
sent is not perfect but it is the
accebted method of the Dem
ocratic Party and should there
fore be used TO select its nomi
Rees. Further we believe that
ahis primary. should be held at
the same time as the Senatorial
Primary. Sept 9Th. Not only
will this lessen the cost for each
candidate but II will insure a full
Ter expression on the part Of the
voters OF the county. We would
like to see every citizen who is
qualified to do so cast MS ballot
