President Taft does not propose to
stand for any half-baked tariff ]egis-
lation. he favors a downward re-
vision of the tariff, but not until the
commission of tariff experts reports.
The commissions report will be ready
for the regular session of congress.
Undoubtedly the president has
weakened himself in the Northwest by
vetOing the wool tariff bill, but be
may regain his lost prestige before
next spring. The great bulk of the
people, especially those Of the North
west, demand material reduction in
the tariff schedules, and unless such
reduction is speedily granted the re-
publican party, nationally, will be
put out of business next year.

be others ready and willing to take
his place. In this connection the St..
Paul Dispatch sarcastically remarks:
1.-THE Indignation of the people no
doubt would fail to spur legislators
into realizing sense of the amount
that should be paid to public SER
wants. There seems little or no hope
of being able to get the pay up to
what those who work for the state are
worth. About the only thing, there
fore, that the people can do to show
their gratitude is not to insist on too
much self-sacri6ce, such as is likely
to bring about the penniless and help
less old age to- which the attorney
general calls attention.. If an un-
grateful legislature will not pay the
public officials what they are worth,
the people at least might let them go
before they become too old to work. !"

At the recent session of the New
York legislature law was enacted
which provides for tax of one-half
of one per cent on the face value of
any bond, note or debt secured by
mortgage of real property, recorded in
any state or country other than New
York and not recorded in New York.
Upon the payment of the tax
the comptroller of the state is re.
quired to give receipt for the same,
and thereafter all such bonds, notes
or secured debts are exempted from
taxation. Mortgages recorded in
New York are excluded from the
operation of the new statute for the
reason that their taxation is already
provided for under the mortgage
registry tax law. If such a. law
works satisfactorily in New York
there is no reason why an enactment
along similar lines might not reach q
large class of personal property thai
has never figured in the assessment
rolls of this state.

The action of the State Tax Com
mission in ordering a special re.
assessment not only of the city of St.
Cloud, but in 20 districts in Stearns
county, simply bears out the state
ments that have heretofore been made
in the Times calling attention to the
lax methods pursued in making the
assessment.-St. Cloud Times.
At the recent session of the legisla.
ture a bill which provides for county
assessors was defeated and by men
who styled themselves "progres.
sives." Under the present system oil
township, village and city assessors
it is impossible to secure an equitable
or uniform assessment throughout the
state. Under competent county asses
sors it would certainly be possible tc
secure greater uniformity and that is
the principal object to be attained.

IRISH IND 4 FIGHTER.

Admiral Lord Charles Beresford,
formerly commander of the British
channel fleet, is in this country
again. He will make a trip across
the great lakes and will probably pay
a visit to his old friend, W. T. Bailey
of Duluth, before proceeding to Van
couver. Before leaving New York he
said:
"We we're glad to have the Delaware
there. Englishmen are proud to see
the English speaking nations in the
possession Of the big fleets and the
big ships.
"The English-speaking nations
should organize to maintain the peace
of the world. You cannot afford tc

punishment West St. Paul Times.

abolishing capital punishment and it
was largely due to his eloquent and
persuasive oratory that the bill be.

most of the things the Times stands
for and it is unkind of that paper to
stigmatize him as a ninny.

y great many people throughout
the state are sick and tired Of the Red
Wing reform school imbroglio. But
the Indications are that the results OF
the investigation will be an issue in
the next state campaign. It is freely
predicted around the state capitol that
the board Of control will exonerate
superintendent Whittier and that the
governor will summarily remove two
members of the board.
